Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline LLC Application for Texas Access Project

Content

Take notice that on March 6, 2026, Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline LLC (KMLP), 1001 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77002,
filed an application under section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's regulations requesting
authorization for its Texas Access Project (Project). The project includes a 3.05-mile-long, 48-inch-diameter mainline extension
in Jefferson County, Texas, and Cameron Parish, Louisiana (Mainline Extension), along with two aboveground pig launcher/receiver
facilities. Additionally, the project involves 540 feet of 42-inch diameter pipeline connecting the Trident Intrastate Pipeline
to the Mainline Extension, 70 feet of 42-inch diameter pipeline connecting the Texas Header to the Mainline Extension, and
250 feet of 42- and 36-inch-diameter pipeline connecting the Mainline Extension to KMLP's existing Leg 1 and Leg 2 pipelines.
Furthermore, KMLP plans to modify existing regulator and metering facilities at the Sabine Pass Metering Facility and establish
a new interconnection and gas measurement building at Louisiana LNG Gas Management, LLC's Woodside Terminal in Calcasieu Parish.

These facilities will enable the transportation of new and diverse natural gas supplies and enable KMLP to transport up to
1,300,000 Dth/d for delivery to various points on its system. KMLP estimates the total Project cost to be $112,000,000, all
as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open for public inspection.

Water Quality Certification

KMLP stated that a water quality certificate under section 401 of the Clean Water Act is required for the project from the
Railroad Commission of Texas. When available, KMLP should submit to the Commission a copy of the request for certification
for the Commission authorization, including the date the request was submitted to the certifying agency, and either (1) a
copy of the certifying agency's decision

  or (2) evidence of waiver of water quality certification.

Persons who comment on the environmental review of this project will be placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list,
and will receive notification when the environmental documents (EA or EIS) are issued for this project and will be notified
of meetings associated with the Commission's environmental review process.

The Commission considers all comments received about the project in determining the appropriate action to be taken. However,
the filing of a comment alone will not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. To become a party, you must intervene
in the proceeding. For instructions on how to intervene, see below.

Interventions

Any person, which includes individuals, organizations, businesses, municipalities, and other entities, (6) has the option to file a motion to intervene in this proceeding. Only intervenors have the right to request rehearing of Commission
orders issued in this proceeding and to subsequently challenge the Commission's orders in the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal.

To intervene, you must submit a motion to intervene to the Commission in accordance with Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules
of Practice and Procedure (7) and the regulations under the NGA (8) by the intervention deadline for the project, which is 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 9, 2026. As described further in Rule
214, your motion to intervene must state, to the extent known, your position regarding the proceeding, as well as your interest
in the proceeding. For an individual, this could include your status as a landowner, ratepayer, resident of an impacted community,
or recreationist. You do not need to have property directly impacted by the project in order to intervene. For more information
about motions to intervene, refer to the FERC website at https://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp.

There are two ways to submit your motion to intervene. In both instances, please reference the Project docket number CP26-136-000
in your submission.

(1) You may file your motion to intervene by using the Commission's eFiling feature, which is located on the Commission's
website (www.ferc.gov) under the link to Documents and Filings. 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 “Intervention.” The eFiling
feature includes a document-less intervention option; for more information, visit https://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling/document-less-intervention.pdf.; or

(2) You can file a paper copy of your motion to intervene, along with three copies, by mailing the documents to the address
below. Your motion to intervene must reference the Project docket number CP26-136-000.

To file via USPS: Debbie-Anne A. Reese, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426.

To file via any other courier: Debbie-Anne A. Reese, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 12225 Wilkins Avenue, Rockville, Maryland 20852.

The Commission encourages electronic filing of motions to intervene (option 1 above) and has eFiling staff available to assist
you at (202) 502-8258 or FercOnlineSupport@ferc.gov.

Protests and motions to intervene must be served on the applicant either by mail at: Tina Hardy, Director, Regulatory, 1001
Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77002, or by email (with a link to the document) at Tina_Hardy@kindermorgan.com. Any subsequent

  submissions by an intervenor must be served on the applicant and all other parties to the proceeding. Contact information
  for parties can be downloaded from the service list at the eService link on FERC Online. Service can be via email with a link
  to the document.

All timely, unopposed (9) motions to intervene are automatically granted by operation of Rule 214(c)(1). (10) Motions to intervene that are filed after the intervention deadline are untimely, and may be denied. Any late-filed motion
to intervene must show good cause for being late and must explain why the time limitation should be waived and provide justification
by reference to factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the Commission's Rules and Regulations. (11) A person obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will
receive copies (paper or electronic) of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties.

Tracking the Proceeding

Throughout the proceeding, additional information about the project will be available from OPP at (202) 502-6595 or on the
FERC website at www.ferc.gov using the “eLibrary” link as described above. The eLibrary link also provides access to the texts of all formal documents
issued by the Commission, such as orders, notices, and rulemakings.

In addition, the Commission offers a free service called eSubscription which allows you to keep track of all formal issuances
and submittals in specific dockets. This can reduce the amount of time you spend researching proceedings by automatically
