[Docket No. CP17-31-000]


Tallgrass Interstate Gas Transmission, LLC; Notice of Request 
Under Blanket Authorization

    Take notice that on January 9, 2017, Tallgrass Interstate Gas 
Transmission, LLC (Tallgrass), Post Office Box 281304, Lakewood, 
Colorado 80228-8304, filed in Docket No. CP17-31-000 and pursuant to 
Sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the Commission's regulations, a prior 
notice under its Part 157 blanket certificate that it intends to 
abandon in place two 12-inch loop pipeline segments, a total of 
approximately 15,335 feet, along its Palco to Phillipsburg Pipeline in 
Rooks County, Kansas, all as more fully set forth in the application 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The 
filing may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the 
``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three 
digits in the docket number field to access the document. For 
assistance, contact FERC at [email protected] or call toll-
free, (866) 208-3676 or TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Tallgrass states that the pipe segments, which loop the 12-inch 
Palco to Phillipsburg Pipeline where it crosses the South Fork Solomon 
River and near the Webster Reservoir respectively are redundant and no 
longer necessary. Abandoning the pipe segments from service will 
eliminate a potential safety hazard. The proposed abandonment will not 
result in or cause any interruption, reduction, or termination of 
transportation service presently rendered by TALLGRASS. Therefore, 
TALLGRASS proposes to abandon in place the two 12-inch pipe segments.
    Any questions regarding this Application should be directed to 
David Haag, Vice President of Regulatory, Tallgrass Interstate Gas 
Transmission, LLC, 370 Van Gordon St., Lakewood, Colorado 80228-1519, 
phone (303) 763-3258.
    Any person may, within 60 days after the issuance of the instant 
notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's 
Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to intervene or notice of 
intervention. Any person filing to intervene or the Commission's staff 
may, pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's Regulations under 
the NGA (18 CFR 157.205) file a protest to the request. If no protest 
is filed within the time allowed therefore, the proposed activity shall 
be deemed to be authorized effective the day after the time allowed for 
protest. If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after 
the time allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be 
treated as an application for authorization pursuant to section 7 of 
the NGA.
    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 assessment (EA) and place it into the 
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a 
Notice of Schedule for 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 final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or 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 for 
Environmental Review 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 FEIS or EA.
    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 commenter's 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.

documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentary, 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 via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a) (1) (iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site (www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link. Persons unable to file 
electronically should submit original and 5 copies of the protest or
