[Docket No. CP19-3-000]


Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on October 9, 2018, Gulf South Pipeline Company, 
LP (Gulf South), 9 Greenway Plaza, Suite 2800, Houston, Texas 77046, 
filed an application pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act 
(NGA) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations seeking authorization to construct, operate, and maintain 
two new electric-driven 5,000 horsepower compressor units, within the 
existing Petal III Compressor Station (Petal III CS) building, 
associated with the Petal Gas Storage facility in Forrest County, 
Mississippi (Petal III Compression Project). Gulf South also proposes 
to add a dehydration unit, thermal oxidizer, and other auxiliary, 
appurtenant facilities which would be all located adjacent to the Petal 
III CS. The Petal III Compression Project would allow Gulf South to (i) 
increase the injection capability to 1,738 million cubic feet per day 
(MMcf/d); and (ii) decrease the certificated withdrawal capability to 
2,495 MMcf/d., all as more fully described 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 [email protected] or call toll-
free, (866) 208-3676 or TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Juan 
Eligio Jr., Supervisor of Regulatory Affairs, Gulf South Pipeline 
Company, LP, 9 Greenway Plaza, Suite 2800, Houston, Texas 77046; by 
telephone at (713) 479-3480 or by email at [email protected] or 
Payton Barrientos, Senior Regulatory Analyst, Gulf South Pipeline 
Company, LP, 9 Greenway Plaza, Suite 2800, Houston, Texas, 77046; by 
telephone at (713) 479-8157 or by email at 
[email protected].
    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 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 3 copies of filings made in the proceeding with the Commission 
and must provide 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

[[Page 54103]]

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, and will be 
notified of any 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 and will not have the right to seek 
court review of the Commission's final order.
    As of the February 27, 2018 date of the Commission's order in 
Docket No. CP16-4-001, the Commission will apply its revised practice 
concerning out-of-time motions to intervene in any new Natural Gas Act 
section 3 or section 7 proceeding.\1\ Persons desiring to become a 
party to a certificate proceeding are to intervene in a timely manner. 
If seeking to intervene out-of-time, the movant is required to ``show 
good cause why the time limitation should be waived,'' and should 
provide justification by reference to factors set forth in Rule 
214(d)(1) of the Commission's Rules and Regulations.\2\

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 3 copies of the protest or intervention to the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington,
