[Docket No. CP17-484-000]


Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America LLC; Notice of Amendment

    Take notice that on August 1, 2017, Natural Gas Pipeline Company of 
America LLC (Natural), at 3250 Lacey Road, Downers Grove, IL 60615, 
filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in the above 
referenced docket a petition to amend its certificate of public 
convenience and necessity in Docket No. CP11-547-000 for its 2012 
Storage Optimization Project. Natural proposes to change the abandon of 
certain facilities at Compressor Station 310 (CS 310) located in 
Clinton County, Illinois, and Compressor Station 311 (CS 311) located 
in Piatt County, Illinois. Natural proposes to retain certain 
compressor units at CS 310 and CS 311 to reserve as redundant 
compression. These reserve units will only run if other units at these 
stations experience mechanical problems. Natural has previously 
received authority to abandon these units in place. Natural's filing is 
on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. Any 
questions regarding this petition to amend should be directed Bruce H. 
Newsome, Vice President, Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America LLC, 
3250 Lacey Road, Suite 700, Downers Grove, IL 60515, or by calling 
(630)725-3070 (telephone) [email protected].
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either: 
Complete its environmental analysis (EA) and place it into the 
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or issue a 
Notice of Schedule for

[[Page 40153]]

Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review 
is issued, it will indicate, among other milestones, the anticipated 
date for the Commission staff's issuance of the EA for this proposal. 
The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for this 
proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule will serve to notify 
federal and state agencies of the timing for the completion of all 
necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal 
authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission 
staff's EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of 
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by 
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or 
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, a 
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person 
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by 
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all 
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must 
submit 5 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a 
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only 
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders 
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have 
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with 
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and 
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. 
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will 
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's 
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project 
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly 
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments 
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will 
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by 
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents 
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court 
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the eFiling link at 
http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should 
submit an original and 7 copies of the protest or intervention to the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, 
DC 20426.
    Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 8, 2017.

    Dated: August 18, 2017.

Deputy Secretary.
