[Docket No. CP18-90-000]


Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC; Notice of 
Application

    Take notice that on February 22, 2018, Transcontinental Gas Pipe 
Line Company, LLC (Transco), P.O. Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251, filed 
an application in Docket No. CP18-90-000 an application pursuant to 
section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) requesting authorization to 
amend its certificate authority granted in Docket No. CP15-536-000 to 
abandon by sale to Tana Exploration Company LLC (Tana) approximately 
26.55 miles of 20-inch-diameter gathering pipeline extending from 
Matagorda Island Block 669 to Brazos Block 133 Platform A, offshore 
Texas. Transco now seeks to abandon these facilities in place, rather 
than by sale to Tana, all as more fully set forth in the application 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The 
filing is available for review at the Commission in the Public 
Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's website 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 
[email protected] or call toll-free, (886) 208-3676 or TYY, 
(202) 502-8659.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to Marg 
Camardello, Regulatory Analyst, Lead, Rates & Regulatory, 
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC, P.O. Box 1396, Houston, 
Texas 77251, or by telephone at (713) 215-3380.
    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

[[Page 11199]]

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 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 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 seven 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 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 7 copies of the protest or intervention to the 
Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington, 
DC 20426.
    Comment Date: March 28, 2018.

    Dated: March 7, 2018.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
