Kinder Morgan Texas Pipeline LLC; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on March 1, 2013 Kinder Morgan Texas Pipeline LLC 
(KM Texas), 1001 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in 
Docket No. CP13-94-000, an application pursuant to section 3 of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA), to amend its authorization and Presidential 
Permits to allow it to import and export natural gas from the United 
States to Mexico utilizing KM Texas's existing cross-border facilities. 
Specifically, KM Texas proposes to increase the authorized design 
capacity of its border facilities from approximately 425 million cubic 
feet (MMcf) per day to 700 MMcf per day to provide Pemex-Gas Y 
Petroquimica Basica and other potential end users in Mexico with 
increased gas supplies, all as more fully set forth in the application 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. 
This filing may also be viewed on the Commission's Web site 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, call (202) 502-8659 or TTY, (202) 208-
3676.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Lee 
Baskin, Director, Regulatory, Kinder Morgan Texas Pipeline Group, 1001 
Louisiana Street, Suite 1000, Houston, Texas 77002, or phone (713) 369-

    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

[[Page 17391]]

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 below listed comment date, 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.
    Motions to intervene, protests and comments 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 
under the ``e-Filing'' link. The Commission strongly encourages 
electronic filings.
    Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 4, 2013.

    Dated: March 14, 2013.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
