[Docket No. CP99-615-001]


Petal Gas Storage, L.L.C.; Notice of Amendment

June 1, 2001.

    Take notice that on May 25, 2001, Petal Gas Storage, L.L.C. 
(Petal), 1001 Louisiana Street, P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77002, 
filed in Docket No. CP99-615-001, an application pursuant to section 
7(c) of the Natural Gas Act to amend the certificate of public 
convenience and necessity issued March 15, 2000 in Docket No. CP99-615-
000, to extend the timetable to complete construction of facilities, 
and to request certain other authorizations, all as more fully set 
forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (please call (202) 208-2222 for 
assistance).
    Petal states that it requests authorization to amend the 
certificate previously issued by the Commission on March 15, 2000, in 
Docket No. CP99-615-000, so that Petal may modify the construction 
procedures and size of Cavern Nos. 6 and 7. Petal states that the 
changes in cavern size and construction are necessary because expansion 
of the two caverns has been delayed due to unforeseen circumstances. 
Petal states that although the working gas and cushion gas attributable 
to each cavern will change, the amendment will not change the total 
certificated capacity and working gas levels for the two caverns 
combined.
    Petal states that it further requests authorization to move its 
cushion gas as may be necessary for operational purposes, or in the 
alternative, as necessary to complete the construction authorized in 
this docket pursuant to the revised construction method requested in 
the amendment.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to David 
E. Maranville, Senior Counsel, El Paso Energy Corporation, 1001 
Louisiana Street, P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77002-2511, call (713) 
420-3525.
    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 June 11, 2001, 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.
    Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically 
via the internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and 
the instructions on the Commission's web site at 
http://www.fer.fed.us/efi/doorbell.htm.
    If the Commission decides to set the application for a formal 
hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, the Commission will issue 
another notice describing that process. At the end of

the Commission's review process, a final Commission order approving or 
denying a certificate will be issued.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
