[Docket No. CP09–417–000] 

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 

Company, LLC; Notice of Application 

May 29, 2009. 

Take notice that on May 22, 2009, 

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 

Company, LLC (Transco), Post Office 

Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251, filed 

with the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission (Commission) an 

abbreviated application pursuant to 

section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act 

(NGA), as amended, and part 157 of the 

Commission’s regulations for 

authorization to acquire and convert to 

natural gas use an existing pipeline and 

to construct and operate certain pipeline 

facilities that would enable Transco to 

provide 250,000 dekatherms per day of 

natural gas transportation service to the 

Hess Corporation (‘‘Hess’’) and Bayonne 

Energy Center, LLC (BEC). The proposed 

facilities, identified as the Bayonne 

Delivery Lateral Project, would extend 

from Transco’s mainline in Essex 

County, New Jersey to the proposed 

Bayonne Energy Center, an electric 

power plant in Bayonne, Hudson 

County, New Jersey. 

Specifically, Transco seeks authority 

to: construct approximately 0.83 mile of 

20-inch pipeline and appurtenant 

facilities to connect Transco’s mainline 

to an idle, 14-inch petroleum products 

pipeline owned by Hess; acquire from 

Hess and convert to natural gas use 5.41 

miles of the 14-inch petroleum products 

pipeline extending from the terminus of 

the new 20-inch pipeline to the 

Bayonne Energy Center; construct a new 

delivery meter station and appurtenant 

facilities at the Bayonne Energy Center 

and, operate the facilities as the 

Bayonne Delivery Lateral. 

Transco estimates that the Bayonne 

Delivery Lateral Project facilities will 

cost approximately $17.2 million. Firm 

transportation service would be offered 

pursuant to a new proposed Rate 

Schedule FDLS and Transco’s blanket 

certificate under Part 284(G) of the 

Commission’s regulations. 

Any questions concerning this 

application should be directed to Marg 

Camardello, Manager, Tariffs & 

Certificates, P.O. Box 1396, Houston, 

Texas 77251, (713) 215–3380 (phone).

PipelineExpansion@williams.com. (toll 

free). 

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. 

This filing 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 ‘‘e-Library’’ link.
