[Docket No. CP09–151–000] 

National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation; 

Notice of Request Under Blanket 

Authorization 

April 16, 2009. 

Take notice that on April 14, 2009, 

National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation 

(National Fuel), 6363 Main Street, 

Williamsville, New York 14221–5887, 

filed a prior notice request pursuant to 

Parts 157.205 and 157.216 of the 

Commission’s regulations under the 

Natural Gas Act (NGA) and National 

Fuel’s blanket certificate issued in 

Docket No. CP83–4–000, for 

authorization to abandon one injection/ 

withdrawal well in Wharton Storage 

Field located in Potter County, 

Pennsylvania, 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://

FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or call 

toll-free, (866) 208–3676 or TTY, (202)

Specifically, National Fuel proposes 

to abandon one injection/withdrawal 

well (Well WH–34) and the associated 

well line (TRW–34) in Wharton Storage 

Field located in Potter County, 

Pennsylvania. National Fuel states that 

Well WH–34 is no longer useful due to 

poor injection performance and poor 

deliverability and needs to be 

reconditioned or plugged due to 

deterioration of the well casing. 

National Fuel asserts that all work will 

be confined to the existing well site. 

National Fuel states that after Well WH– 

34 is plugged and abandoned, the well 

site will be restored and revegetated. 

National Fuel also proposes to abandon 

in place well line TRW–34, totaling 

approximately 1,200 feet of 6-inch 

diameter well line. National Fuel asserts 

that the cost to construct similar 

facilities today is approximately $1 

million. National Fuel avers that the 

proposed abandonment will not result 

in a material decrease in service to 

customers. 

Any questions regarding the 

application should be directed to David 

W. Reitz, Deputy General Counsel, 

National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation, 

6363 Main Street, Williamsville, New 

York 14221–5887, at (716) 857–7949. 

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 

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)

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 12429–001—Montana] 

Clark Canyon Dam Hydroelectric 

Project; Notice of Availability of 

Environmental Assessment 

April 15, 2009. 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission’s (Commission or FERC) 

regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 

486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy 

Projects has reviewed Clark Canyon 

Hydro, LLC’s application for license for 

the proposed Clark Canyon Dam 

Hydroelectric Project, located at Clark 

Canyon reservoir on the Beaverhead 

River near the city of Dillon, Beaverhead 

County, Montana, and has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

project. The proposed project would 

occupy a total of 1.15 acres of Federal 

lands administered by the U.S. Bureau 

of Reclamation. 

The EA contains the staff’s analysis of 

the potential environmental impacts of 

the project, and concludes that licensing 

the project, with appropriate 

environmental protective measures, 

would not constitute a major Federal 

action that would significantly affect the 

quality of the human environment. 

A copy of the EA is available for 

review at the Commission in the Public 

Reference Room or may be viewed on 

the Commission’s Web site at http:// 

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

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket Nos. CP09–110–000;CP07–4–002] 

Mississippi Hub, LLC; Notice of Filing 

April 15, 2009. 

On April 7, 2009, Mississippi Hub, 

LLC (MS Hub), pursuant to section 7(c) 

of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), for 

authorization to expand the MS HUB 

Gas Storage Project (Expansion) 

previously certificated in CP07–4–000, 

et al. on February 15, 2007, as amended, 

in Covington, Jefferson Davis, and 

Simpson Counties, Mississippi. MS Hub 

proposes to increase the total capacity of 

each of its two authorized caverns by 

2.38 Billion cubic feet (Bcf) (1.5 Bcf 

working gas and 0.88 Bcf cushion gas); 

increase the maximum injection and 

withdrawal rate of the storage facility; 

add four 7,700 horsepower (hp) 

compressor units in lieu of three 5,000 

hp compressor units previously 

authorized; and, construct 14.2 miles of 

24-inch diameter pipeline and 22.6 

miles of 30-inch diameter pipeline 

interconnects. MS Hub requests a 

finding that after the Expansion, the 

storage project’s operation will not 

exercise market power so that marketbased rates may continue to be charged 

for these services. 

Questions concerning this application 

may be directed to William Rapp, 

Liberty Gas Storage, 101 Ash Street, San 

Diego, CA 92101, at (619) 699–5050. 

On September 15, 2008, the 

Commission staff granted MS Hub’s 

request to utilize the Pre-filing Process 

and assigned Docket No. PF08–29–000 

to staff activities involving the 

Expansion. Now, as of the filing of this 

application on April 7, 2009, the Prefiling Process for this project has ended. 

From this time forward, these 

proceedings will be conducted in the 

Dockets noted in the caption to this 

Notice. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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 ‘‘eSubscription’’ link on the 

Web site that enables subscribers to 

receive e-mail notification when a 

document is added to a subscribed 

docket(s). For assistance with any FERC 

Online service, please e-mail
