[Docket No. CP07-449-000]

 
 Southern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

September 26, 2007.
    Take notice that on September 19, 2007, Southern Natural Gas 
Company (Southern), Colonial Brookwood Center, 569 Brookwood Village, 
Birmingham, Alabama 35209, filed in Docket No. CP07-449-000, a prior 
notice request pursuant to sections 157.205 and 157.208 of the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
for authorization to continue the use of a skid mounted compressor 
unit, located in Screven County, Georgia, that was installed in 2006 as 
emergency compression, 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 proposes to continue the use of the 
Woodcliff Compressor Unit, rated at 5,278 horsepower, that was 
installed as an emergency facility in order to restore the availability 
of Southern's gulf coast infrastructure caused in August and September 
2005 by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Southern states that the total 
cost for refurbishing and installation was $2,177,371. Southern asserts 
that it would be more economical to continue the use of the unit at its 
refurbished state rather than place it back in storage and the unit 
continues to be a worthwhile asset to support incremental gas supplies 
on the system. Southern states that the unit will not be utilized to 
serve additional firm requirements.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to 
Patricia S. Francis, Senior Counsel, Southern Natural Gas Company, Post 
Office Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563, or call at (205) 325-
7696.
    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 
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.
