    Take notice that on July 11, 2007, Texas Gas Transmission, LLC 
(Texas Gas), 3800 Frederica Street, Owensboro, Kentucky 42301, filed an 
application pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act for a 
certificate of public convenience and necessity to construct, own, 
operate and maintain approximately 262.6 miles of 36-inch diameter 
pipeline consisting of two laterals, one primarily in Arkansas 
(Fayetteville Lateral) and the other in Mississippi (Greenville 
Lateral); one 10,650 horsepower compressor station; certain piping 
modifications; and certain ancillary facilities. In addition, Texas Gas 
is seeking authority to implement initial separate incremental rates 
for the Fayetteville Lateral and the Greenville Lateral, all as more 
fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission 
and open for public inspection. This filing is available for review at 
the Commission in the Public Reference Room or may 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, please 
contact FERC Online Support at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll free 
at (866) 208-3676, or for TTY, contact (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions regarding this Application should be directed to 
Kathy D. Fort, Manager of Certificates and Tariffs, Texas Gas 
Transmission, LLC, 3800 Frederica Street, Owensboro, Kentucky 42301 or 
by telephone at 270-688-6825 or fax at 270-688-5871.
    On December 28, 2006, the Commission staff granted Texas Gas's 
request to utilize the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Pre-
Filing Process and assigned Docket No. PF07-2-000 to staff activities 
involving the Texas Gas's expansion project. Now, as of the filing of 
Texas Gas's application on July 11, 2007, the NEPA Pre-Filing Process 
for this project has ended. From this time forward, Texas Gas's 
proceeding will be conducted in Docket No. CP07-417-000, as noted in 
the caption of this Notice.
    Pursuant to Sec.  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.
    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 below listed 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

[[Page 41722]]

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.
    Motions to intervene, protests and comments 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. The Commission strongly encourages 
electronic filings.
    Comment Date: August 13, 2007.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
