D'Lo Gas Storage, LLC; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on December 29, 2011, D'Lo Gas Storage, LLC 
(D'Lo), 1002 East St. Mary Blvd., Lafayette, Louisiana 70503, filed in 
Docket No. CP12-39-000, an application pursuant to section 7(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's Regulations, 
requesting a certificate of public convenience and necessity 
authorizing D'Lo to construct, operate, and maintain a new natural gas 
storage project to be located in Simpson County, Mississippi. 
Additionally, D'Lo requests a blanket certificate under part 284, 
Subpart G, of the Commission's regulations, to provide open-access non-
discriminatory firm interruptible natural gas storage services and hub 
services, and a blanket certificate authorizing D'Lo to engage in 
certain self-implementing routine activities under Part 157, Subpart F 
of the Commission's regulations. D'Lo also requests through this 
application approval of its pro forma FERC Gas Tariff and authority to 
charge market-based rates for storage and hub services, 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, (866) 208-3676 or TTY, 
(202) 502-8659.
    Specifically, D'Lo proposes to construct a natural gas storage 
facility in the D'Lo Salt Dome underground that will provide 
approximately 24 billion cubic feet of working gas capacity in three 
caverns. D'Lo will construct five sites for pipeline interconnections 
and metering with interstate and intrastate gas pipeline systems.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to J. 
Gordon Pennington, 2707 N. Kensington St., Arlington, VA 22207, 
telephone no. (703) 533-7638, facsimile no. (703) 241-1842, and email: 
pennington5@verizon.net.
    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 7 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 commentors 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 commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors 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.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the 
``eLibrary'' link and is available for
