Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on December 10, 2013 Texas Eastern Transmission, 
LP (Texas Eastern), at 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 77056, 
filed an application in Docket No. CP14-29-000 pursuant to section 7(b) 
of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's 
regulations to abandon in place and by sale certain pipeline facilities 
located in offshore Gulf of Mexico. Specifically, Texas Eastern 
proposes to abandon 29.82 miles of 20-inch diameter offshore lateral 
pipeline, designated as Line 41-A-6, consisting of 14.39 miles proposed 
for abandonment in place and 15.43 miles proposed for abandonment by 
sale. Texas Eastern states that there will be no termination or 
reduction in firm service to any existing customers after the proposed 
abandonment, all as more fully set forth in the application, which is 
on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    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 email 
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For 
assistance with any FERC Online service, please email 
FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov, or call (866) 208-3676 (toll free). For 
TTY, call (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Berk 
Donaldson, Director, Rates & Certificates, Texas Eastern Transmission, 
LP, P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251, or by calling (713) 627- 4488 
(telephone), or fax (713) 627- 5947, or email

    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 in the proceeding with the Commission 
and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party. 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

[[Page 79688]]

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 5 copies of the protest or intervention to the 
Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, 
DC 20426.
    Comment Date: January 13, 2014.

    Dated: December 23, 2013.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
