Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline LLC; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on June 28, 2019, Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline 
LLC (Kinder Morgan), at 1001 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77002, 
filed an application in the above reference docket an application 
pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) to construct 
certain facilities. Kinder Morgan proposes to construct, and operate 
the Acadiana Project (Project). The Project involves the: (1) 
Installation of three (3) new gas fired compressor units totaling 
95,700 International Organization for Standardization (ISO) horsepower 
at Kinder Morgan's existing Compressor Station No. 760 in Acadia 
Parish, Louisiana, (2) modifications to meter piping at Kinder Morgan's 
existing Columbia Gulf Transmission Meter Station in Evangeline Parish, 
Louisiana, and (3) the installation of auxiliary facilities at both 
locations, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The filing is 
available for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room or 
may be viewed on the Commission's website 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 FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or call toll-
free, (866) 208-3676 or TYY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to Bruce 
H. Newsome, Vice President, Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline LLC, 3250 
Lacey Road, 7th Floor, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515-7918, by telephone 
at (630) 725-3070 or by email at bruce_newsome@kindermorgan.com.
    Specifically, the Project will allow Kinder Morgan to increase firm 
north-to-south transportation capacity on its system by 894,000 
dekatherms per day (Dth/d) from existing pipeline that interconnects to 
an existing delivery point with Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC (SPL) at 
SPL's liquefied natural gas export terminal at Sabine Pass in Cameron 
Parish, Louisiana. The expansion capacity (894,000 Dth/d) will be 
combined with 145,000 Dth/d of existing system capacity that has been 
reserved for the Project to enable Kinder Morgan to meet the request of 
SPL, which has executed a binding precedent agreement with Kinder 
Morgan for 945,000 Dth/d of transportation capacity for delivery of 
feedstock gas to the SPL Export Terminal. The estimated cost of the 
Project is $143,048,567.
    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

[[Page 34885]]

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 seven copies of filings made in the proceeding with the 
Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other 
party. 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, and will be 
notified of any 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 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 7 copies of the protest or intervention to the 
Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington, 
DC 20426.
    Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 2, 2019.

    Dated: July 12, 2019.
Nathaniel J. Davis, Sr.,
Deputy Secretary.
