          - [Docket No. CP22-468-000]

                    Take notice that on May 27, 2022, Trailblazer Pipeline Company LLC (TPC) and Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (REX), 370 Van Gordon St., Lakewood, Colorado 80228, filed an application under section 7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and Part 157 of the Commission's regulations requesting authorization in the above referenced docket. TPC requests (1) authorization for TPC to abandon approximately 392 miles of pipeline and related facilities, including one gas-fired compressor station and two electric compressor stations totaling 60,000 horsepower, and one interconnect that has no firm service (the Abandoned Facilities), with the pipeline to be repurposed for carbon dioxide (CO2) transportation service that will not be subject to the Commission's NGA jurisdiction; (2) authorizing Rockies to construct, install, own, operate, and maintain various pipeline facilities and booster compression stations to allow continuity of flow for Trailblazer firm service through capacity leased from Rockies (the New Rockies Facilities); (3) authorization for Trailblazer to lease capacity from Rockies pursuant to a capacity lease agreement (the Lease) so that Trailblazer can utilize the New Rockies Facilities and otherwise available capacity on Rockies's existing system; (4) authorization for Rockies to lease capacity to Trailblazer pursuant to the Lease, which will allow Trailblazer to replicate the services it currently provides on the abandoned facilities and ensure seamless service for Trailblazer's existing firm shippers.                

                    In addition to publishing the full text of this document in the                     **Federal Register**                    , the Commission provides all interested persons an opportunity to view and/or print the contents of this document via the internet through the Commission's Home Page (                    *http://ferc.gov*) using the “eLibrary” link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access the document. At this time, the Commission has suspended access to the Commission's Public Reference Room, due to the proclamation declaring a National Emergency concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), issued by the President on March 13, 2020. For assistance, contact the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission at                     *FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov*                     or call toll-free, (886) 208-3676 or TYY, (202) 502-8659.                

                    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to L. Drew Cutright, Vice President, Regulatory Tallgrass Energy LP, 370 Van Gordon Street, Lakewood, CO 80228-1519 or by phone at (303) 763-3438, or by email at                     *Drew.Cutright@tallgrassenergy.com.*

                    Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure,[1]                                          within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either: complete its environmental review 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 environmental assessment (EA) for this proposal. The filing of an 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.

For an individual, this could include your status as a landowner, ratepayer, resident of an impacted community, or recreationist. You do not need to have property directly impacted by the project in order to intervene. For more information about motions to intervene, refer to the FERC website at                     *https://www.ferc.gov/​resources/​guides/​how-to/​intervene.asp.*

Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426.

                    The Commission encourages electronic filing of motions to intervene (option 1 above) and has eFiling staff available to assist you at (202) 502-8258 or                     *FercOnlineSupport@ferc.gov.*

Any late-filed motion to intervene must show good cause for being late and must explain why the time limitation should be waived and provide justification by reference to factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the Commission's Rules and Regulations.[9]                                          A person obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies (paper or electronic) of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties.
