[Docket No. CP15-41-001]


Equitrans, L.P.; Notice of Filing

    Take notice that on May 5, 2015, Equitrans, L.P. (Equitrans) filed 
an amendment, pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 
157 of the Commission's Regulations, for the Ohio Valley Connector 
Project in West Virginia, and Ohio. The application of the project was 
originally filed on December 30, 2014 in Docket No. CP15-41-000. The 
amended filing may be viewed on the 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 regarding this application should be directed to Paul 
W. Diehl, Senior Counsel, Midstream, Equitrans, L.P., 625 Liberty 
Avenue, Suite 1700, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. Telephone (412) 395-5540, fax 
(412) 553-7781, and email: [email protected].
    Equitrans states that after filing the original application, 
Equitrans has continued working with landowners and other interested 
parties with respect to the route of the pipeline and the specific 
facilities that will be necessary. Also, after discussions with a 
proposed shipper, Equitrans has determined that the proposed H-313 
pipeline will not be required to provide the firm transportation 
service. To accommodate this change, Equitrans proposes to eliminate 
the H-313 pipeline from the scope of the project. The H-313 pipeline is 
approximately 14.0 miles and 24-inch diameter. Equitrans also proposes 
four minor re-routes of the proposed H-310 pipeline and changes of 
facilities. The amendment does not affect the Ohio Valley Connector 
Project's designed capacity of 850 MMcf/day.
    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 5 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

[[Page 28266]]

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 any mailed environmental documents, and will be notified of 
any 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.
    Motions to intervene, protests and comments may be filed 
electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper; see, 18 CFR 
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site 
under the ``e-Filing'' link. The Commission strongly encourages 
electronic filings.
    Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 2, 2015.

    Dated: May 12, 2015.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
