Trunkline Gas Company, LLC; Notice of Application
Take notice that on June 19, 2013, Trunkline Gas Company, LLC.
(Trunkline) filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission an
application under section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) requesting
authorization to modify its existing point of receipt, referred to as
the Creole Trail Interconnect located in Beauregard Parish, Louisiana,
by the addition of electronic gas measurement equipment, two 24-inch
tees, overpressure protection equipment, check valves, insulating kits
and associated piping. The proposed modifications will allow for the
delivery of gas to Cheniere Creole Trail Pipeline, LP (Cheniere),
through the Creole Trail Interconnect to provide backhaul
transportation capacity on Trunkline's system as requested by Sabine
Pass Liquefaction, LLC. in order to provide feed gas to its export
facilities approved by the Commission in CP11-72-000.\1\ The proposed
modifications will not affect Trunkline's peak day or annual
deliveries. Trunkline also requests a waiver of sections 154.1(d) and
154.207 of the Commission's regulations regarding the non-conforming
nature of the Firm Transportation Service Agreement that will be
executed between Trunkline and Sabine Pass Liquefaction for the
requested backhaul transportation service.

Michael T. Langston, Vice President, Chief Regulatory Officer,

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
[[Page 39719]]
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, 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 seven copies of the protest or intervention to
the Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE.,
Washington, DC 20426.
Comment Date: July 17, 2013.
Dated: June 26, 2013.

Secretary.
