[Docket No. CP07-51-000]

 
Gulfstream Natural Gas System, L.L.C.; Notice of Application

January 5, 2007.
    On December 22, 2006, in Docket No. CP07-51-000, Gulfstream Natural 
Gas System, L.L.C. (Gulfstream), pursuant to section 7(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act, as amended, and section 157 Subpart A of the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations, filed for 
authorization to install, construct, own, operate and maintain certain 
pipeline facilities, consisting primarily of the installation of 
approximately 17.74 miles of 20-inch diameter pipeline and additional 
compression totaling 45,000 horsepower to be installed at Stations 410 
and 420, as more fully described in the application ( Phase IV 
Project). Gulfstream further requests that the Commission grant a 
preliminary determination on the non-environmental aspects of this 
Application by May 31, 2007, with a final order granting the requested 
authorizations and related approvals by September 1, 2007. Gulfstream 
states that issuing orders by these dates will help to ensure that the 
Phase IV facilities are available to meet the timing needs of the Phase 
IV shipper and to give the Phase IV shipper and Gulfstream the economic 
assurance needed to go forward with their respective projects.
    Questions concerning the application should be directed to: P. 
Martin Teague, Associate General Counsel at Gulfstream Natural Gas 
System, L.L.C., 5400 Westheimer Court, P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 
77251-1642, or by calling (713) 627-5242.
    On November 21, 2006, the Commission staff granted Gulfstreams' 
request to utilize the Pre-Filing process and assigned Docket No. PF06-
29-000 to staff activities involving the Phase IV Project. As of the 
filing of this application on December 29, 2006, the Pre-Filing Process 
for this project has ended. From this time forward, Gulfstreams' 
proceedings will be conducted in Docket No. CP07-51-000.
    Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the Commission rules, 18 CFR 157.9 and 
to ensure compliance with the Energy Policy Act of 2005, upon 
completion of the Commission staff's environmental review for 
Gulfstreams' proposal, the environmental document will be placed into 
the record on the Commission's eLibrary system. The action of the 
document's placement in the record alerts the other agencies of the 
requirement to complete necessary reviews and authorizations within 90 
days of the date of the Commission staff's environmental document.
    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, 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.
    Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically 
via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and 
the instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing'' 
link at http://www.ferc.gov. The Commission strongly encourages 

intervenors to file electronically. Persons unable to file 
electronically should submit an original and 14 copies of the protest 
or intervention to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the 

``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's 
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription'' 
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail 
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For 
assistance with any FERC Online service, please e-mail 
FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov, or call (866) 208-3676 (toll free). For 

TTY, call (202) 502-8659.
    Comment Date: 5 p.m. Eastern Time on January 31, 2007.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
