Texas Gas Transmission, LLC; Notice of Schedule for Environmental 
Review of the Morgan City and Youngsville Compression Station

pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, to abandon in-place 
certain compression facilities. The proposed project is known as the 
Morgan City and Youngsville Compressor Station Abandonment Project 
(Project), and would consist of abandoning in-place certain facilities 
at the Morgan City Compressor Station in Assumption Parish, Louisiana, 
and the Lafayette (referred to as ``Youngsville'') Compressor Station 
in Lafayette Parish, Louisiana. In addition, Texas Gas would relinquish 
the firm design capacity associated with the Project facilities.

Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) issued its Notice of 
Application for the Project. Among other things, that notice alerted 
agencies issuing federal authorizations of the requirement to complete 
all necessary reviews and to reach a final decision on a request for a 
federal authorization within 90 days of the date of issuance of the 
Commission staff's Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Project. This 
instant notice identifies the FERC staff's planned schedule for the 
completion of the EA for the Project.
