[Docket No. CP07-421-000]

 
Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc.; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

July 27, 2007.
    Take notice that on July 17, 2007, Southern Star Central Gas 
Pipeline, Inc (Southern Star), 4700 Highway 56, Owensboro, Kentucky 
42301, filed in Docket No. CP07-421-000 a prior notice request pursuant 
to sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's regulations under 
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) to construct and operate a new 12-inch 
delivery meter station and interconnecting facilities to serve as a 
bypass of a local distribution company. The proposed facilities would 
serve Aquila, Inc. (Aquila) d/b/a Aquilia Networks at Aquila's electric 
generating plant Buchanan County, Missouri, 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 
FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or call toll-free, (886) 208-3676 or TYY, 

(202) 502-8659.
    Specifically, Southern Star proposes to install a side valve, an 8-
inch lateral pipeline approximately 59 feet long, a flow computer and 
communications equipment necessary for the new interconnection with 
Aquila. Aquila will construct associated metering facilities within its 
electric generation plant site. The new meter station will be known as 
the Aquila-St. Joe/Lake Road Delivery Measurement setting 
16911. The cost of the facilities is estimated to be $296,000.
    Aquila currently receives its natural gas service from Missouri Gas 
Energy (MGE), a local distribution company. Aquila wishes to receive 
its primary gas service from Southern Star and would maintain its 
connection with MGE in order to serve as backup gas delivery service. 
Aquila has requested Southern Star to provide interruptible natural gas 
delivery service to its electric generating plant of up to 17,500 Mcf 
per day through the delivery point described above. Southern Star 
states that it has notified MGE of the proposed delivery point 
directly.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to David 
N. Roberts, Manager of Regulatory Affairs, Southern Star Central Gas 
Pipeline, Inc., 4700 Highway 56, Owensboro, Kentucky 42301, or 
telephone (270) 852-4654.
    Any person or the Commission's Staff 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 and, pursuant to section 157.205 of 
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 
157.205) a protest to the request. If no protest is filed within the 
time allowed therefore, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be

[[Page 43266]]

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.
    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.
