[Docket No. CP11-145-000]

Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on March 24, 2011, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company, LLC (FGT), 5444 Westheimer Road, Houston, Texas 77056, filed 
in Docket No. CP11-145-000, an application, pursuant to section 7(c) of 
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and part 157 of the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission's Regulations, to construct and operate a new electric 
compressor station with appurtenant facilities; to upgrade existing 
pipeline facilities; and to install auxiliary facilities at an existing 
compressor station, all located in Orange County, Florida (known as The 
Cape Canaveral Project). Specifically, FGT proposes to construct and 
operate a new Compressor Station No. 32 consisting of two (2) 15,000 
horsepower electric units connecting to FGT's existing 26-inch 
mainline; to upgrade 800 feet of existing 26-inch mainline to allow for 
higher design pressure at the tie-ins of the suction and discharge 
piping; and to install auxiliary facilities at FGT's existing 
Compressor Station No. 18. FGT also states that it has entered into an 
agreement with Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) in which FPL agrees 
to reimburse FGT for the costs of the proposed facilities, including 
the ongoing operation and maintenance costs and electric power cost. In 
conjunction, FGT plans to abandon and remove the existing Cape 
Canaveral Measurement and Regulator Station (M&R Station) and will 
contruct a new M&R station and associated facilities pursuant to its 
Blanket Certificate in Docket No. CP82-553-000. The total estimated 
cost for the proposed Cape Canaveral Project is $81.44 million, 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, contact FERC at

    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Stephen Veatch, Senior Director of Certificates & Tariffs, Florida Gas 
Transmission Company, LLC, 5444 Westheimer Road, Houston, Texas 77056,

    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)

[[Page 20654]]

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 7 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://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.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the 
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's 
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription'' 
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail 
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For 
assistance with any FERC Online service, please e-mail 
FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov, or call (866) 208-3676 (toll free). For 
TTY, call (202) 502-8659.
