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

Commission in Docket No. CP10-34-000, as amended in Docket No. CP11-40-
000. Specifically, East Cheyenne requests authorization to make certain

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

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
