TTC Connector, LLC; Notice of Application and Establishing
Intervention Deadline
Take notice that on July 21, 2025, TTC Connector, LLC (TTC

157 and 284 of the Commission's regulations requesting authorization to
construct, own, and operate the proposed TTC Connector Natural Gas
Pipeline to be located in Colorado and Wharton Counties, Texas (TTC
Connector Project). The Project consists of (1) a new 25-mile, 20-inch-
diameter natural gas pipeline between the pipeline system of Tres
Palacios Gas Storage, LLC (Tres Palacios) and the Coastal Bend Header
System of Gulf South Pipeline Company, LLC (Gulf South); (2) related
interconnections with Tres Palacios to receive and deliver gas and
interconnections with Trunkline Gas Company (Trunkline) and Gulf South
to deliver gas; and (3) a 11,000 horsepower (hp) gas-fired compressor
station downstream of its Tres Palacios interconnection.
TTC also requests (1) a blanket certificate, pursuant to Part 157,
Subpart F of the Commission's regulations, authorizing the construction
of certain facilities; (2) a blanket certificate, pursuant to Part 284,
Subpart G of the Commission's regulations, authorizing open access
transportation; (3) approval of TTC Connector's pro forma FERC gas
tariff; (4) approval of a negotiated rate agreement with TTC

requirements, as further described in its application. The Project will
provide up to 300,000 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of firm transportation
service to the Project's anchor shipper, BP Energy Company (BP
Energy).\1\ TTC Connector estimates the total cost of the Project to be
$114,310,882, all as more fully set forth in the application which is
on file with the Commission and open for public inspection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Based on the need of the Project's anchor shipper, gas from
TTC Connector's compressor station will either be delivered on a
firm basis directly back to Tres Palacios for a maximum delivery of
300,000 Dth/day, to the Coastal Bend Header of Gulf South for a
maximum delivery of 300,000 Dth/day or to Trunkline for a maximum of
120,000 Dth/day.

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and
Procedure,\2\ within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will
either: complete its environmental review and place it into the

Commission's regulations under the NGA, any person \5\ may file a
protest to the application. Protests must comply with the requirements

the eFiling feature, which is located on the Commission's website
(<a href="http://www.ferc.gov">www.ferc.gov</a>) under the link to Documents and Filings. With eFiling,
you can provide comments in a variety of formats by attaching them as a
file with your submission. New eFiling users must first create an
account by clicking on ``eRegister.'' You will be asked to select the
type of filing you are making; first select ``General'' and then select
``Comment on a Filing''; or
(3) You can file a paper copy of your comments or protests by
mailing them to the following address below. Your written comments must

Any person, which includes individuals, organizations, businesses,
municipalities, and other entities,\7\ has the option to file a motion

the extent known, your position regarding the proceeding, as well as
your interest in the proceeding. For an individual, this could include
