Summary

Pipeline pressure increase proposal
Southern Star asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to raise the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) on a 13,100-foot segment of its 8-inch Line EU in Leavenworth County, Kansas from 150 psig to 333 psig. The company said this MAOP uprate will support planned installation of facilities and that no increased capacity is expected from the uprate.
