that it will limit the compression used at the Blackwell Compressor 
Station so that it does not exceed the certificated horsepower of 8,400 
hp. Southern Star estimates the cost of the proposed project to be 
$28,496,850, all as more fully set forth in the request which is on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection.

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

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

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

submit an original and 3 copies of the protest or intervention to the
