    Take notice that on October 20, 2005, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT), 5444 Westheimer, Houston, Texas 77056, filed in Docket 
No. CP06-9-000, an application pursuant to sections 7(b) and (c) of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA), and part 157 of the Commission's regulations 
requesting: (i) Approval to abandon certain mainline pipeline; and (ii) 
a certificate of public convenience and necessity to construct, and 
operate mainline pipeline, valves, and ancillary facilities to replace 
the abandoned facilities. The project is designed to relocate a portion 
of FGT's pipeline system due to a widening project involving 11.3 miles 
of State Road 91 in Broward County, Florida to be undertaken by the 
Florida Department of Transportation/Florida Turnpike Enterprise (FDOT/
FTE), 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

    Specifically, FGT proposes to replace its existing 18-inch and 24-
inch diameter pipeline with a single 36-inch diameter pipeline. The 
existing 18-inch and 24-inch diameter pipeline will be abandoned in 
place, with the exception of pipe segments that can be safely removed 
without harm to existing roads and roadway structures. The proposed 
project has an estimated cost of $110.2 million.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Stephen T. Veatch, Sr., Director, Certificates and Tariffs (713) 989-
2024, Florida Gas Transmission Company (FGT), 5444 Westheimer Road, 
Houston, Texas 77056-5306.
    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.
