East Cheyenne Gas Storage, LLC; Notice of Amendment

    Take notice that on April 6, 2012, East Cheyenne Gas Storage, LLC 
(East Cheyenne), 10901 W. Toller Drive, Suite 200, Littleton, Colorado, 
80127, filed in the captioned docket an application under sections 7(b) 
and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), for an order amending the 
certificate of public convenience and necessity issued by the 
Commission in Docket No. CP10-34-000, as amended in Docket No. CP11-40-
000. Specifically, East Cheyenne requests authorization to make certain 
changes to its certificated gas storage project, which relate primarily

disposal wells) to be used in the initial project development and the 
pipeline and other facilities necessary to service such wells, and to 
abandon two existing injection/withdrawal wells. East Cheyenne also 
requests authorization to increase the certificated cushion gas 
capacity of the West Peetz field, from 5.706 billion cubic feet (Bcf) 
to 10.822 Bcf, all as more fully set forth in the application which is 
on file with the Commission and opens to public inspection. The filing 
may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the

    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to 
William A. Lang, President, East Cheyenne Gas Storage, LLC, 10370 
Richmond Avenue, Suite 510, Houston, Texas 77042, by Telephone: (713) 
403-6460 or Facsimile: (713) 403-6461.
    East Cheyenne requests that the Commission grant the requested 
authorizations and related approvals prior to July 9, 2012. By issuing 
an order by this date, the Commission will facilitate East Cheyenne's 
efficient and timely development of storage capacity at its East 
Cheyenne Gas Storage Project. East Cheyenne states that it does not 
propose any change in the working gas capacity, injection rates or 
withdrawal rates authorized by the Commission in the original 
certificate order, as amended, in this Application.
    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 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 email 
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For 
assistance with any FERC Online service, please email
