    Take notice that on December 14, 2010, PetroLogistics Natural Gas 
Storage, LLC (PetroLogistics), 4470 Bluebonnet Blvd., Baton Rouge, 
Louisiana 70809, filed in Docket No.

[[Page 545]]

CP11-50-000, an application pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas 
Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's regulations, requesting a 
certificate of public convenience and necessity to construct the 
Choctaw Hub Expansion Project in Iberville Parish, Louisiana. 
Specifically, the project consists of (1) placing into Commission-
jurisdictional service two existing salt storage caverns; (2) 
constructing 13 miles of 30-inch pipeline that will parallel 
PetroLogistics' existing header; (3) constructing two new compressor 
units, totaling 27,000 horsepower, at its existing compressor station; 
(4) constructing associated piping, measuring, and appurtenant 
facilities in order to integrate the proposed project into 
PetroLogistics' existing storage facility; and (5) increasing the 
maximum daily deliverability and withdrawal capacity of the storage 
facility, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection. This filing may 
also be viewed on the Commission's Web site 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, call (866) 208-3676 or TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Allen Kirkley, PetroLogistics Natural Gas Storage, LLC, 4470 Bluebonnet 
Blvd., Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70809, or by calling (225) 706-2253 
(telephone) or (225) 706-7050 (fax).
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's regulations, 18 CFR 
157.9, within 90 days of this Notice, the Commission's 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's staff 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 reach a final decision on a request 
for federal authorization 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 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail 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, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of 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 (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 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a) (1) (iii) and the 
instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing'' link.

    Comment Date: January 18, 2011.

Nathaniel J. Davis, Sr.,
Deputy Secretary.
