[Docket No. CP10-485-000]

 
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

August 24, 2010.
    On August 12, 2010, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (Tennessee) 
filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) an 
application under section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act and section 157 
of the Commission's Regulations for authority to abandon ownership 
interest in certain Texas onshore and offshore supply facilities as 
well as its dedicated capacity in the Central Texas Gathering System, 
all as more fully detailed in the Application.
    Questions concerning this application may be directed to Thomas G. 
Joyce, Manager, Certificates, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, 1001 
Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77002 or by calling 713-420-3299, by 
faxing 713-420-1605, or by e-mailing tom.joyce@elpaso.com or Susan T. 
Halbach, Senior Counsel, Legal, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, 1001 
Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77002, or by calling 713-420-1601, by 
faxing 713-420-1601, or by e-mailing susan.halbach@elpaso.com.
    Pursuant to section 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 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 seven 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.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and 
interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link at http://
www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should submit an 
original and seven 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
