[Docket No. CP06-465-000]

 
Puget Sound Energy, Inc.; Notice of Application

October 13, 2006.
    Take notice that on September 22, 2006, Puget Sound Energy, Inc., 
(Puget), as Operator of the Jackson Prairie Storage Project (Project), 
10885 NE. 4th Street P.O. Box 97034 Bellevue, WA 98009-9734, filed in 
Docket No. CP06-465-000, an application pursuant to section 7(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended, for authorization to construct and 
operate facilities to mitigate gas migration at the storage facility, 
and to confirm the approved status of all current well operations at 
the storage facility as well as the Project's certificated zone 
boundaries, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection. This filing may 
also be viewed on the Commission's Web site 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, call (202) 502-8659 or TTY, (202) 208-3676.
    Specifically, Puget seeks: (1) Certificate authority to construct 
and operate facilities (including certain minor pipeline, compression, 
and related facilities) necessary to efficiently recycle natural gas 
back to Zone 2, a currently authorized storage reservoir at the 
Project, from Zone 1, another reservoir at the Project not currently 
authorized for storage activities, to which such gas has migrated, and 
to utilize Zone 1 on an ongoing basis in support of the previously 
authorized Zone 2 storage operation; (2) an amendment to the Project's 
existing certificate to reflect a small reduction in the authorized 
cushion gas level at the project; and (3) amendments to existing 
certificates or new certificate authority, as necessary, to confirm the 
approved status of all current well operations at the Project's 
certificated zone boundaries.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Andrea J. Chambers, Troutman Sanders LLP, 401 9th Street, NW., suite 
1000 Washington, DC 20004-4605, or call (202) 274-2950.
    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 14 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 commentors 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 commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors 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: November 3, 2006.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
