filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission (Commission) an 

application under section 7(c) of the 

Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended, 

and part 157 of the Commission’s 

regulations for an order amending the 

certificate of public convenience and 

necessity issued in Docket No. CP08–8– 

000 as amended in Docket No. CP11– 

107–000, to authorize Leaf River to 

reallocate the aggregate total facility 

certificated storage capacity of the Leaf 

River Energy Center among the 

previously authorized caverns, all as 

more fully detailed in the Application. 

Leaf River states that this amendment 

does not involve any change in total 

facility certificated capacity, pressures, 

injection rates or withdrawal rates 

authorized by the Commission in the 

original certificate order, but will result 

in changes in individual cavern 

capacities. 

Questions regarding the application 

may be directed to James F. Bowe, Jr.,

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 

seven 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. 

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 cementers 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 cementers will 

not be required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the nonparty 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. 

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. 

The Commission encourages 

electronic submission of 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 seven 

copies of the protest or intervention to 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, 888 First Street NE., 

Washington, DC 20426. This filing is 

accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov 

using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link and is 

available for review in the 

Commission’s Public Reference Room in 

Washington, DC. There is an
