pursuant to 18 CFR Parts 157 and 284, all as more fully set forth in 
the application which is on file with the Commission and open to public

    Specifically, Liberty requests authorization from the Commission to 
enter into a transaction necessary for Liberty to receive a real 
property tax exemption with respect to the pipeline, compression and 
appurtenant facilities in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana that have been 
authorized by the Commission. The transaction will consist of the 
transfer of legal title to such facilities to a local governmental 
agency, the Industrial Development Board of Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana 
(Development Board). The Development Board will, upon transfer of 
title, lease the facilities back to Liberty. Liberty

will thus retain operational control of, and responsibility for, the 
facilities. Liberty asserts that the transaction will have no effect on 
the natural gas storage and other services that Liberty will provide to 
its customers. Upon termination of the lease, Liberty will reacquire 
title to the facilities.
    Any questions regarding Liberty Gas Storage, LLC's application 
should be directed to: William D. Rapp, Senior Regulatory Counsel, 
Sempra Energy, 101 Ash Street, HQ 13, San Diego, CA 92101, phone: (619) 
699-5050, e-mail: wrapp@sempra.com; or to: Stacy Van Goor, Director, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Affairs, Sempra Global, 101 Ash Street, HQ 8,

    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, 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.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project, or in support of or in opposition to this project, should 
submit an original and two copies of their comments to the Secretary of 
the Commission. Environmental commenters 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 
commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on 
all other parties. The Commission's rules require that persons filing 
comments in opposition to the project provide copies of their protests 
only to the applicant. However, the non-party commenters 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 via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.
