Mississippi Hub, L.L.C.; Notice of

Application

October 20, 2006.

On October 10, 2006, in Docket Nos.

CP07–4–000, CP07–5–000 and CP07–6–

000, Mississippi Hub, L.L.C. (MS HUB),

pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural

Gas Act, as amended, and part 157,

subparts A and F, and part 284, subpart

G of the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission’s (Commission)

regulations, filed requests for:

authorization to construct, own, and

operate the MS HUB Storage Project; a

Subpart F construction, operation and

abandonment blanket certificate (CP07–

5–000); and, a Subpart G transportation

blanket certificate (CP07–6–000). MS

HUB also seeks: approval of its pro

forma tariff; authorization to charge

market-based rates for the proposed

storage services; and, waiver of certain

Commission regulations. Further, MS

HUB asks that the Commission issue

requested authorizations by February

15, 2007 so that: construction may start

in spring 2007; initial storage injections

can commence in spring and summer of

2008; and, withdrawals can begin by

December 31, 2008. Start-up in this

timeframe also would coincide with

proposed in-service dates of certain Gulf

Coast region liquefied natural gas

import terminals.

The new, high-deliverability storage

facility would be located in Simpson

and Jefferson Davis Counties,

Mississippi. The facility would have

initial interconnections with two

interstate (Southern Natural Gas Co. and

Gulf South Pipeline) and one intrastate

(CrossTex Energy) gas pipeline systems.

Due to the sequential construction

process associated with the solution

mining of the two proposed caverns, MS

HUB requests that the Commission

authorize construction over a five-year

period.

Questions concerning the application

should be directed to by calling (281)

242–2381 or J. Gordon Pennington,

Attorney at Law, 2707 N. Kensington

St., Arlington, Virginia 22207 or at 703–

533–7638 or pennington5@verizon.net.

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.

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.

Comments, protests and interventions

may be filed electronically via the

Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR

385.2001(a) (1) (iii) and the instructions
