[Docket No. CP11-38-000]
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC; Notice of Filing
November 24, 2010.
Take notice that on November 18, 2010, Transcontinental Gas Pipe
Line Company, LLC (Transco), Post Office Box 1396, Houston, Texas
77251, filed an abbreviated application, pursuant to Section 7(c) of
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's Rules and
Regulations to amend its certificate issued on May 18, 2006, as amended
on January 11, 2007 and October 23, 2007 authorizing Transco's Leidy to
Long Island Expansion Project. The application is on file with the
Commission and open for 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.ferc.gov using the
``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three
digits in the docket number field to access the document. For
assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at
[email protected] or toll free at (866)208-3676, or for TTY,
contact (202) 502-8659.
Transco requests authorization to allow either of the existing
compressor units at Compressor Station 207, each of which is currently
certificated at 5,000 horsepower, to be operated up to 7,000
horsepower. This increase will not change the total horsepower used at
Station 207 of 10,000 horsepower as certificated. The proposed
operational change will not involve any construction activities or
result in any incremental transportation capacity. No additional costs
will be incurred.
Any questions regarding the application are to be directed to Scott
Turkington, Director, Rates and Regulatory, Transcontinental Gas Pipe
Line Corporation, P.O. Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251-1396; phone
number (713) 215-3391 or [email protected].
Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's regulations, 18 CFR
157.9, within 90 days of this Notice, the Commission's 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's staff issuance of
the 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 reach a final decision on a request
for Federal authorization within 90 days of the date of issuance of the
Commission staff's 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 commenters 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 commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters 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 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. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the
instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing'' link.
Comment Date: December 8, 2010.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
