[Docket No. CP10-48-000]


Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc.; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

February 16, 2010.
    Take notice that on January 29, 2010, Southern Star Central Gas 
Pipeline, Inc. (Southern Star), 4700 State Highway 56, Owensboro, 
Kentucky 42301, filed in Docket No. CP10-48-000, a prior notice request 
pursuant to sections 157.205, 157.210, and 157.216 of the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
for authorization to replace a two mile section of the 12-inch diameter 
XT pipeline by constructing approximately two miles of 20-inch diameter 
pipeline, located in Johnson County, Missouri, all as 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 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#c88e8d9a8b87a6a4a1a6ad9bbdb8b8a7babc88aeadbaabe6afa7be"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="2f696a7d6c60414346414a7c5a5f5f405d5b6f494a5d4c01484059">[email protected]</span></a> or call toll-free, (866) 208-3676 or TTY, 
(202) 502-8659.
    Specifically, Southern Star proposes to replace two miles of 12-
inch diameter XT pipeline with two miles of 20-inch diameter XM 
pipeline as a continuation of its multi-year plan initiated in 2008 to 
replace the remaining miles of 12-inch diameter XT pipeline. Southern 
Star estimates the cost of construction to be $4,961,000, for which 
internally generated funds will be used. Southern Star asserts that 
after the proposed construction is completed, approximately two miles 
of the 12-inch diameter XT pipeline will be abandoned either in place 
or by removal at landowners' discretion. Southern Star states that the 
replacement pipeline will improve reliability and offer flexibility on 
its system, but does not provide any additional firm capacity upstream 
and will continue to be operated at its current Maximum Allowable 
Operating Pressure (MAOP) of 570 psi.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to David 
N. Roberts, Manager, Regulatory Affairs, Southern Star Central Gas 
Pipeline, Inc., 4700 State Highway 56, Owensboro, Kentucky 42301, or 
call (270) 852-4654.
    Any person may, within 60 days after the issuance of the instant 
notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's 
Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to intervene or notice of 
intervention. Any person filing to intervene or the Commission's staff 
may, pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's Regulations under 
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 157.205) file a protest to the 
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefore, the 
proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day 
after the time allowed for protest. If a protest is filed and not 
withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, 
the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to section 7 of the NGA.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests, and interventions via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
