[Docket No. CP11-38-000]

 
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC; Notice of Filing

November 24, 2010.
    Take notice that on November 18, 2010, Transcontinental Gas Pipe 
Line Company, LLC (Transco), Post Office Box 1396, Houston, Texas 
77251, filed an abbreviated application, pursuant to Section 7(c) of 
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's Rules and 
Regulations to amend its certificate issued on May 18, 2006, as amended 
on January 11, 2007 and October 23, 2007 authorizing Transco's Leidy to 
Long Island Expansion Project. The application 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.
    Transco requests authorization to allow either of the existing 
compressor units at Compressor Station 207, each of which is currently 
certificated at 5,000 horsepower, to be operated up to 7,000 
horsepower. This increase will not change the total horsepower used at 
Station 207 of 10,000 horsepower as certificated. The proposed 
operational change will not involve any construction activities or 
result in any incremental transportation capacity. No additional costs 
will be incurred.
    Any questions regarding the application are to be directed to Scott 
Turkington, Director, Rates and Regulatory, Transcontinental Gas Pipe 
Line Corporation, P.O. Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251-1396; phone 
number (713) 215-3391 or scott.c.turkington@williams.com.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's regulations, 18 CFR 
157.9, within 90 days of this Notice, the Commission's 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's staff issuance of 
the 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 reach a final decision on a request 
for Federal authorization within 90 days of the date of issuance of the 
Commission staff's 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 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.
    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.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
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 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the 
instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing'' link.
    Comment Date: December 8, 2010.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
