    Specifically, Transco requests authorization to amend the 
authorized operation of its new 15,000 horsepower (HP) electric motor-
driven compressor installed at Transco's Compressor Station 125 in 
Walton County. Transco currently has authority to operate the 15,000 HP 
electric compressor unit at a maximum of 9,000 HP. Transco now seeks 
authorization to operate said compressor unit at above 9,000 HP 
provided that the total horsepower used at Compressor Station 125 does 
not exceed the station's total certificated horsepower of 49,800 
horsepower. Transco states that it would use automated station control 
systems to limit the total horsepower at Compressor Station 125. 
Transco also states that this would allow for more efficient operation, 
increase operational reliability and flexibility, and accommodate 
schedule maintenance.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Bill 
Hammons, Team Leader, Rates and Regulatory, P.O. Box 1396, Houston, 
Texas 77251, at (713) 215-2130.
    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: June, 7, 2012.

    Dated: May 17, 2012.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
