[Docket No. CP20-20-000]


Notice of Application; Texas-Kansas-Oklahoma LLC

    Take notice that on December 6, 2019, Texas-Kansas-Oklahoma LLC. 
(TKO), 1318 David Lane, Dalhart, TX, 79022 filed in Docket No. CP20-20-
000, an application pursuant to section 7(f) of the Natural Gas Act and 
Part 157 of the Commission's regulations requesting that the Commission 
grant it a determination of service area within which TKO may, without 
further Commission authorization, own and operate facilities to provide 
natural gas distribution service across the state line flowing from 
southwestern Kansas into in a limited geographic area in northern 
Oklahoma. The subject distribution facilities, which provide natural 
gas service to TKO's irrigation customers, originate in Kansas and 
continue into Oklahoma. TKO also requests a finding that qualifies for 
treatment as an LDC for purposes of Section 311 of the Natural Gas 
Policy Act and a waiver of various Commission requirements as 
appropriate and consistent with the requested determination. All 
relevant information is 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'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three 
digits in the docket number field to access the document. For 
assistance, contact FERC at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or call toll-

    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Mike 
McEvers, Texas-Kansas-Oklahoma, LLC, P.O. Box 1194, Dalhart, TX 79202; 
Phone: (806) 244-4210; Email: tko@tkogas.com, and copied to C. Edward 
Watson, II, Foulston Siefkin, LLP, 1551 N Waterfront Pkwy, Suite 100,

    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 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

[[Page 71910]]

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 with the 
Commission and must provide a copy to the applicant and to every other 
party in the proceeding. 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 commenters 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 commenters will not be required to serve 
copies of filed documents on all other parties. However, the non-party 
commenters 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) (18 
CFR 385.214(d)(1)) of the Commission's Rules and Regulations.

protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the eFiling link at

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