PEIS Process 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in the PEIS process, both to 

refine the preliminary alternatives and 

environmental issues to be analyzed in 

depth and to eliminate from detailed 

study those alternatives and 

environmental issues that are not 

reasonable or pertinent. The Agencies 

plan to issue a NOI by the end of 2008, 

which will be followed by a public 

scoping period. The scoping process is 

intended to involve all interested 

agencies (Federal, State, county, and 

local), public interest groups, Native 

American Tribes, businesses, and 

members of the public. 

Draft PEIS Schedule and Availability 

The Agencies plan to issue a Draft 

PEIS in 2009. The availability of the 

Draft PEIS and dates for public hearings 

to receive comments on it will be 

announced in the Federal Register and 

local media. The Agencies will consider 

comments on the Draft PEIS when they 

prepare the Final PEIS. Interested 

parties who do not wish to submit 

comments or suggestions at this time, 

but who would like to receive a copy of 

the Draft PEIS and other project 

materials, please contact Brian Mills as 

provided in the ADDRESSES section of 

this notice.

pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural 

Gas Act (NGA), and Part 157 of the

certificate of public convenience an 

necessity authorizing Transco’s Mobile 

Bay South Expansion Project (Project), 

an expansion of the capacity on 

Transco’s existing Mobile Bay Lateral 

located in southwest Alabama. In order

Transco proposes to construct a new 

compressor station (Station 85) and 

appurtenant facilities to be located at 

the interconnection of the Mobile Bay 

Lateral with Transco’s mainline in 

Choctaw County, Alabama. Under the 

Project, Transco states that it will 

provide 253,500 dekatherms per day 

(Dth/day) of incremental year-round 

firm transportation capacity from 

Transco’s Station 85 to delivery points 

on the Mobile Bay Lateral, including, an 

existing interconnection with 

Gulfstream Natural Gas System, L.L.C. 

in Coden, Alabama (Gulfstream). 

Transco proposes its Zone 4A rates 

under Rate Schedule FT as the initial 

rates for service under the Project. In 

addition, Transco requests that the costs 

of the project be granted rolled-in rate 

treatment, 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:// 

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

Any questions concerning this 

application may be directed to Ingrid 

Germany, Staff Regulatory Analyst, 

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corp., 

PO Box 1396, Houston, Texas, 77251– 

1396 at (713) 215–4015. 

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. 

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 commentors 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 commentors will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commentors 

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 in lieu of paper using 

the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http://

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.
