SG Resources Mississippi, L.L.C.; Notice of Application for 
Amendments and Request for Reaffirmation of Market Based Rate 
Authorization

August 3, 2006.
    Take notice that on July 21, 2006, SG Resources Mississippi, L.L.C. 
(SGR), 7500 San Felipe, Suite 600, Houston, Texas 77063, filed with the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission an abbreviated application under 
section 7 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for an order amending the 
certificate of public convenience and necessity issued in Docket No. 
CP02-229-000.
    SGR seeks authorization to: (1) Increase the working gas capacity 
of each of the two natural gas storage caverns previously authorized as 
part of the Southern Pines Energy Center currently under construction 
in Greene County, Mississippi from 6 Bcf each to 8 Bcf each; (2) 
develop a third cavern having working gas capacity of 8 Bcf; (3) 
construct two additional brine disposal wells; (4) construct, own, 
operate and maintain approximately 26 miles of dual 24-inch diameter 
bi-directional natural gas pipelines and associated facilities that 
will interconnect the Southern Pines Energy Center with the natural gas 
pipeline facilities of Florida Gas Transmission Company and 
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation (the FGT/Transco Lateral); 
and (5) eliminate one of the two originally-certificated, 3.13-mile-
long, 24-inch diameter pipelines extending from the storage facility to 
an interconnection with the Destin Pipeline Company, LLC pipeline 
system. SGR's application also seeks reaffirmation of its previously-
granted authorization to charge market-based rates for its storage and 
hub services.
    This application is available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at

    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 listed 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 14 copies of this filing and all subsequent filings made with 
the Commission and must mail a copy of all filing 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, other persons do 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 this 
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, or in support of or in opposition to 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

[[Page 45809]]

Commission's environmental review process. Environmental commenters 
will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on all other 
parties. The Commission's rules require that persons filing comments in 
opposition to the project provide copies of their protests only to the 
applicant. 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 via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.

    Comment Date: August 24, 2006.

Secretary.
