National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation; Notice of Application
June 29, 2010.
Take notice that on June 11, 2010, National Fuel Gas Supply
Corporation (National Fuel), 363 Main Street, Williamsville, New York
14221, filed applications in Docket No. CP10-457-000 and Docket No.
CP10-458-000 pursuant to sections 7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act
and Part 157 of the Commission's Regulations, for a certificate of
public convenience and necessity to construct and operate its Line N
Compressor Installation Expansion Project and its Line N Relocation and
Interconnect Project (together, the Line N Projects). The application
is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. This
filing is available for review at the Commission in the Public
Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.fer.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number
excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access

Specifically, the Line N Projects consist of approximately 20.1
miles of 20-inch natural gas pipeline, the new Holbrook Metering and
Regulation facility near a relocated interconnection with the
facilities of Texas Eastern Transmission L.P in Greene County,
Pennsylvania, and a new 4,740hp Buffalo Compressor Station in
Washington County, Pennsylvania. National Fuel states that the project
will create an additional 150,000 Dekatherms per day of firm capacity.
The estimated cost of the Line N Projects is approximately $55.7
million.
Any questions regarding this application should be directed to
David W. Reitz, Deputy General Counsel for National Fuel, 6363 Main
Street, Williamsville, New York 14221, or call at (716) 857-7949.
National Fuel states that by letter dated October 20, 2009, in
Docket No. PF10-1-000, the Commission's Office of Energy Projects
granted National Fuel's October 13, 2009, request to utilize the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Pre-Filing Process for the
Line N Projects. National Fuel has also submitted an applicant-prepared
Draft Environmental Assessment that was prepared during the Pre-Filing
Process that was included with this application. Now, as of the filing
of this application on June 11, 2010, the NEPA Pre-Filing Process for
this project has ended. From this time forward, this proceeding will be
conducted in Docket Nos. CP10-457-000 and CP10-458-000, as noted in the
caption of this notice.
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 proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, 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.
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 commentors 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 commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors 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
[[Page 39011]]
to seek court review of the Commission's final order.
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426.
This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription''
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For
assistance with any FERC Online service, please e-mail
[email protected], or call (866) 208-3676 (toll free). For
TTY, call (202) 502-8659.
Comment Date: July 20, 2010.

Secretary.
