[Docket Nos. CP15-160-000; PF14-15-000]


Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC, KO Transmission Company; Notice 
of Application

    Take notice that on April 7, 2015, Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC 
(Columbia), 5151 San Felipe, Suite 2500, Houston, Texas 77056, and KO 
Transmission Company (KOT), 139 East Fourth Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 
45202, jointly filed in the above referenced docket an application 
pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and Part 157 of 
the Commission's regulations requesting authorization for the 
replacement of existing high pressure, bare steel pipeline located in 
Menifee, Montgomery, Bath, Nicholas, Robertson, and Bracken counties, 
Kentucky (referred as the E System Project), all as more fully set 
forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection. The filing is available for review at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site web 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, contact 
FERC at [email protected] or call toll-free, (886) 208-3676 or 
TYY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to 
counsel for Columbia Gas, Tyler R. Brown, Senior Counsel, Columbia Gas 
Transmission, LLC, 5151 San Felipe Suite 2500, Houston, Texas 77056 at 
(713) 386-3797.
    Specifically the applicants propose to replace approximately 22.1 
miles of existing 20-inch bare pipe with new coated pipe from North 
Fork of Licking River to Foster Station, 0.4 miles of existing 14-inch 
pipeline, installing one bi-directional launcher/receiver assembly on 
EM2 line at South Means and one bi-directional launcher/receiver 
assembly at Foster Station, as well as eight mainline valve settings, 
and appurtenant facilities. The Applicants requested a pre-
determination of rolled-in rates treatment for the Project. The cost of 
the project will be approximately $119.5 million.
    On June 27, 2014, the Commission staff granted Columbia's request 
to utilize the Pre-Filing Process and assigned Docket No. PF14-15-000 
to staff activities involved in the Project. Now, as of the filing of 
the April 7, 2015 application, the Pre-Filing Process for this project 
has ended. From this time forward, this proceeding will be conducted in 
Docket No. CP15-160-000, 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 seven copies of filings made in the proceeding with the 
Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other 
party. 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

[[Page 23265]]

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: May 11, 2015.
