The Merced Falls Project is located at 

RM 55 on the border of Merced and 

Mariposa Counties, California. The 

Merced Falls Project occupies 1.0 acre 

of federal land administered by BLM.

of the applicants’ proposals and the 

alternatives for relicensing the Merced 

River and Merced Falls Projects. The 

draft EIS documents the views of 

governmental agencies, nongovernmental organizations, affected 

Indian tribes, the public, the license 

applicants, and Commission staff. 

A copy of the draft EIS is available for 

review at the Commission or may be

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP15–152–000] 

Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP; 

Notice of Request Under Blanket 

Authorization 

Take notice that on April 3, 2015, 

Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP (Gulf 

South) filed in Docket No. CP15–152– 

000, a Prior Notice request pursuant to 

section 157.205 of the Commission’s 

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 

(NGA), and Gulf South’s blanket 

certificate issued in Docket No. CP82– 

430–000. Gulf South seeks authorization 

to increase its maximum storage 

capacity in the Petal Salt Dome Cavern 

12A, located in Forest County in the 

State of Mississippi, all as more fully set 

forth in the application which is on file 

with the Commission and open to 

public inspection. Specifically, Gulf 

South proposes to increase the total 

certificated storage capacity of the 

cavern from 9.26 Billion cubic feet (Bcf) 

to 9.75 Bcf. Gulf South proposes the 

increase because the cavern size was 

determined to be slightly larger than 

originally anticipated based upon 

temperature survey data obtained after 

cavern dewatering operations were 

completed. No construction of facilities 

is required for the proposal. 

Any questions regarding this 

application should be directed to Kyle 

Stephens, Vice President, Regulatory 

Affairs, Gulf South Pipeline Company, 

LP, 9 Greenway Plaza, Suite 2800, 

Houston, TX 77046 by telephone at 

(713) 479–8033, by FAX at (713) 479– 

1745 or by email at kyle.stephens@

Any person or the Commission’s Staff 

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 and, pursuant to section 

157.205 of the Commission’s 

Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 

157.205) 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. 

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 final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

or 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. 

Protests will be considered by the 

Commission in determining the 

appropriate action to be taken, but will 

not serve to make protestants parties to 

the proceeding. Any person wishing to 

become a party must file a notice of 

intervention or motion to intervene, as 

appropriate. Such motions or protests 

must be filed on or before the comment 

date. Anyone filing a motion to 

intervene or protest must serve a copy 

of that document on the Applicant. On 

or before the comment date, it is not 

necessary to serve motions to intervene 

or protests on persons other than the 

Applicant. 

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 encourages 

electronic submission 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
