Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application
March 15, 2010.
Take notice that on March 5, 2010, Eastern Shore Natural Gas
Company, (Eastern Shore), 1110 Forrest Avenue, Dover, Delaware 19904,
pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended, and
Part 157 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
Regulations, filed in Docket No. CP10-76-000, an application to
construct and operate certain pipeline and ancillary facilities, with
appurtenances, located in the State of Pennsylvania. Eastern Shore
states that it proposes to: (1) Construct and operate approximately 8.3
miles of sixteen-inch mainline extension in the State of Pennsylvania,
and (2) construct and operate a new interconnect receipt point. Eastern
Shore states that such facilities are necessary to provide new firm
transportation service to customers that have executed binding shipper
nominations in conjunction with Eastern Shore's recent Open Season
(Mainline Extension Interconnect with Texas Eastern Transmission, LP,
Project), which offered its customers the opportunity for new natural
gas supplies and supply diversification by accessing the Texas Eastern
Transmission, LP (Texas Eastern) pipeline system in southeastern
Pennsylvania. Eastern Shore estimates the cost of the facilities will
be $19,406,974, all as more fully set forth in the application, which
is on file with
[[Page 13525]]
the Commission and open to public inspection. The filing may also be
viewed on the Web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link.

Any questions regarding the application should be directed to Glen
DiEleuterio, Project Manager, Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company, 1110
Forrest Avenue, Dover, Delaware 19904, at (302) 734-6710, ext. 6723 or

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 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.

Secretary.
