    Take notice that on June 1, 2017, Ryckman Creek Resources, LLC

Docket No. CP17-459-000 a prior notice request pursuant to sections 
157.205 and 157.213 of the Commission's regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act (NGA), as amended, requesting authorization to perform certain 
activities at its natural gas storage field in Uinta County, Wyoming. 
Specifically, Ryckman proposes to: (i) Convert two existing observation

wells; (iii) convert two former oil production wells for use as 
observation wells; (iv) re-enter and re-complete a former oil 
production well for use as a saltwater disposal well; and (v) construct 
related connecting flowlines, access roads, and appurtenances. Ryckman 
states that the proposed project will have no impact on the storage 
field's certificated physical parameters, including total inventory, 
reservoir pressures, reservoir and buffer boundaries, and certificated 
capacity. Ryckman estimates the cost of the project to be approximately 
$6,500,000, 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''

214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to section 157.205 of 
the regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.205), a protest to the

authorization pursuant to section 7 of the NGA.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,

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.
