Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC; Notice of 
Application

    Take notice that on March 31, 2015, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 
Company, LLC (Transco), P.O. Box 1396, Houston, TX 77251-1396 filed an 
application pursuant to section 7 (c) of the Natural Gas Act requesting 
authorization to construct and operate its Atlantic Sunrise Project to 
provide 1,700,002 dekatherms per day of capacity from northern 
Pennsylvania to Alabama. Specifically, Transco requests authorization 
to construct (i) 57.3 miles of 30-inch diameter pipeline and 125.2 
miles of 42-inch diameter pipeline in Pennsylvania; (ii) two new 
compressor stations totaling 70,000 horsepower (hp) in Pennsylvania; 
(iii) the addition of 62,000 hp at three existing compressor stations 
in Pennsylvania and Maryland; and (iv) to modify its existing system to 
enable north-to-south flow, all as more fully set forth in the 
application. The 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. There is an ``eSubscription'' link on the Web site 
that enables subscribers to receive email notification when a document 
is added to a subscribed docket(s). For assistance, please contact FERC 
Online Support at [email protected] or toll free at (866) 208-
3676, or for TTY, contact (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions regarding the proposed project should be directed to 
Bill Hammons at Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC, Post 
Office Box 1396, Houston, TX 77251 or at (713) 215-2130 or Scott 
Turkington, Director, Rates & Regulatory, Transcontinental Gas Pipe 
Line Company, LLC, Post Office Box 1396, Houston, TX 77251-1396 or at 
(713) 215-3391(phone), or [email protected].
    On April 4, 2014, the Commission staff granted Transco's request to 
utilize the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Pre-Filing Process 
and assigned Docket No. PF14-8-000 to staff activities involving the 
project. Now, as of the filing of this application on March 31, 2015, 
the NEPA Pre-Filing Process for this project has ended. From this time 
forward, this proceeding will be conducted in Docket No. CP15-138-000, 
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 impact statement (EIS) 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 EIS for this proposal. The filing of the EIS 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 EIS.
    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

[[Page 20214]]

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 7 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 7 copies of the protest or intervention to the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, 
DC 20426.
    Comment Date: April 29, 2015.
