Commission 

[Docket No. CP04–48–002] 

Chandeleur Pipe Line Company; 

Notice of Application for Amendment 

March 10, 2009. 

Take notice that on March 3, 2009, 

Chandeleur Pipe Line Company 

(Chandeleur) filed with the Commission 

an application pursuant to section 7(c) 

of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), as 

amended, and part 157 of the 

Commission’s regulations seeking an 

amendment of the existing authorization 

issued to Chandeleur on May 11, 2004 1

in Docket No CP04–48–000 (May 11 

Order) for the acquisition from Chevron 

Natural Gas Pipe Line LLC (Chevron) of 

Chevron’s interest in the Mobile Area 

Gathering System (MAGS), an offshore 

gathering pipeline. 

Specifically, by the application, 

Chandeleur requests that the 

Commission amend the Certificate of 

Public Convenience and Necessity 

issued in the May 11 Order to authorize 

Chandeleur to acquire the interest of 

Murphy Exploration & Production 

Company (Murphy) in the MO 908 

Segment of the MAGS System. The 

acquisition by Chandeleur of this 

remaining interest will complete 

Chandeleur’s ownership of the MAGS 

System. 

Copies of this filing are available for 

review at the Commission’s 

Washington, DC offices, or may be 

viewed on the Web at http:// 

www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.

last three digits in the docket number 

field to access the document. For

Any questions regarding this 

application should be directed to Jeffrey 

L. Kirk, at 4800 Fournace Place, 

Bellaire, Texas 77401, or by telephone at 

(713) 432–6753, or via e-mail at 

jkgv@chevron.com. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this application. First, any person 

wishing to obtain legal status by 

becoming a party to this proceeding 

should 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) by the 

comment date, below. 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 the 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 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. 

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.

Southern California Edison Company; 

Notice of Authorization for Continued 

Project Operation 

March 10, 2009. 

On February 23, 2007, the Southern 

California Edison Company, licensee for 

the Big Creek Nos.1, 2, (FERC No. 2175), 

3 (FERC No.120), and 2A, 8, and 

Eastwood Project (FERC No. 67), filed 

Applications for New license(s) 

pursuant to the Federal Power Act 

(FPA) and the Commission’s regulations 

thereunder. The Big Creek Nos. 1 and 2 

are situated along Big Creek, No. 3 is 

situated on the San Joaquin River, and 

the Nos. 2A, 8, and Eastwood Project is 

situated on the South Fork San Joaquin 

River. The nearest communities are Big 

Creek, Shaver Lake, North Fork, City of 

Fresno, and Auberry. 

The licenses for Project Nos. 2175, 

120, and 67 were issued for a period 

ending February, 28, 2009. Section 

15(a)(1) of the FPA, 16 U.S.C. 808(a)(1), 

requires the Commission, at the 

expiration of a license term, to issue 

from year-to-year an annual license to 

the then licensee under the terms and 

conditions of the prior license until a 

new license is issued, or the project is 

otherwise disposed of as provided in 

section 15 or any other applicable 

section of the FPA. If the project’s prior 

license waived the applicability of 

section 15 of the FPA, then, based on 

section 9(b) of the Administrative 

Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 558(c), and as 

set forth at 18 CFR 16.21(a), if the 

licensee of such project has filed an 

application for a subsequent license, the 

licensee may continue to operate the 

project in accordance with the terms 

and conditions of the license after the 

minor or minor part license expires, 

until the Commission acts on its
