Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC; Notice of 
Application

November 30, 2009.
    Take notice that on November 16, 2009, Transcontinental Gas Pipe 
Line Company LLC (Transco) filed in the above referenced docket an 
application pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and 
Part 157 of the Commission's Regulations for a certificate of public 
convenience and necessity authorizing Transco's Mobile Bay South II 
Expansion Project (Project), an expansion of the capacity on Transco's 
existing Mobile Bay Lateral under which Transco will provide 380,000 
dekatherms per day (``Dt/d'') of incremental southbound firm 
transportation service. The Project involves the installation of one 
additional 8,180 horsepower compression unit and related auxiliary 
equipment at Transco's mainline in Choctaw County, Alabama. Also, the 
Project involves the installation of gas coolers, at the existing 
Compression Station 83 in Mobile County, Alabama, and a new tap, valve, 
and associated piping interconnect with an additional meter station to 
be constructed, owned, and operated by Florida Gas Transmission 
Company, LLC adjacent to its existing Citronelle meter station in 
Mobile County, Alabama. Transco estimates that the Project facilities 
will cost approximately $36.3 million. Transco has executed binding 
precedent agreements for one hundred percent of the capacity created by 
the Project facilities, 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. Enter the docket number excluding the last three 
digits in the docket number field to access the document. For 
assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at 
FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll free at (866) 208-3676, or TTY,

    Any questions regarding the petition should be directed to counsel 
for Transco Scott Turkington, Director, Rates & Regulatory, 
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC, Post Office Box 1396,

    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.

[[Page 64064]]

    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://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.
    Comment Date: December 21, 2009.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
