E7-7309. Enstor Gulf Coast Storage, LLC; Notice of Application

April 12, 2007.

On March 2, 2007, as supplemented on March 7, 2007, Enstor Gulf Coast Storage, LLC (Enstor) 20333 State Highway 249, Suite 400, Houston, Texas 77070, filed (1) an application in Docket No. CP07-94-000, pursuant to section 7(c) of the NGA and the Commission's regulations, for a certificate of public convenience and necessity authorizing the operation of a Gulf Coast storage pool that will aggregate storage capacity obtained from discrete affiliated and non-affiliated service providers, and in combination with off-system interstate transportation capacity acquired on five interstate pipelines, will provide storage and storage related services to the interstate market; and (2) an application in Docket No. CP07-96-000 for a blanket transportation certificate under Part 284 Subpart G of the Commission's regulations, to provide open access storage and storage related services at market based rates with pregranted abandonment.

Take notice that in that same filing, Enstor also requested in Docket No. CP07-95-000 a blanket certificate under Part 157 Subpart F of the Commission's regulations. This authorization would allow Enstor to engage in any of the activities described in sections 157.208 through 157.218 without having to obtain case-specific authorizations to undertake routine construction activities, to make miscellaneous rearrangements of its facilities, to change receipt and delivery points, and to render certain storage services.

These filings are available for review at the Commission's Washington, DC offices or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov/​ using the “e-Library” link.

For assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at [e-mail] or Telephone: [phone]; Toll-free: 1-866-208-3676; or for TTY, contact [phone].

Any questions regarding these applications should be directed to Joseph H. Fagan of Heller Ehrman LLP, 1717 Rhode Island Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20036-3001, or phone [phone], or FAX [phone], or e-mail [e-mail].

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 proceeding for this project should 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) by the comment date, below. 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.

However, a person does not have to intervene 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 and/or associated pipeline. 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 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. 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.

Protests and interventions may be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper; see 18 CFR 285.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site under the “e-filing” link. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings.
