NEXUS Gas Transmission, LLC; Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; DTE 
Gas Company; Notice of Applications

    Take notice that on November 20, 2015, NEXUS Gas Transmission, LLC 
(NEXUS), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 77056, filed in Docket 
No. CP16-22-000 an application pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural 
Gas Act (NGA) for authorization: (i) To construct approximately 255.9 
miles of new, 36-inch-diameter interstate pipeline in Ohio and 
Michigan; (ii) to construct four compressor stations, totaling 130,000 
horsepower (HP); (iii) to construct various appurtenances 
(collectively, the NEXUS Project); (iv) of its proposed pro forma 
tariff; (v) for a Part 157, Subpart F construction certificate; (vi) 
for a Part 284, Subpart G blanket certificate; and (vii) for any 
waivers the Commission deems necessary for the NEXUS Project. NEXUS 
states that the proposed pipeline will have a capacity of 1.5 million 
dekatherms per day (Dth/d) and estimates the cost of the NEXUS Project 
to be approximately $2,095,267,444.
    Additionally, on November 20, 2015, Texas Eastern Transmission, LP 
(Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 77056, filed in 
Docket No. CP16-23-000 an application pursuant to sections 7(b) and 
7(c) of the NGA for authorization: (i) To construct approximately 4.4 
miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline loop in Monroe County, Ohio; (ii) to 
construct 1,790 feet of connecting pipeline to the NEXUS Project in 
Columbiana County, Ohio; (iii) to construct a new 18,800 HP compressor

compressor unit at its existing Colerain Compressor Station in Belmont 
County, Ohio; (v) to modify Line 73 to allow for bi-directional flow; 
(vi) to construct various appurtenances (collectively, the TEAL 
Project); (vii) to abandon by lease to NEXUS 950,155 Dth/d; and (vii) 
for any waivers the Commission deems necessary for the TEAL Project. 
Texas Eastern estimates the cost of the TEAL Project to be 
approximately $183,519,668.
    These applications will be reviewed contemporaneously with the 
application for an operating lease filed by DTE Gas Company in Docket 
No. CP16-24-000 on November 24, 2015.
    All of the applications are 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 the application in Docket No. CP16-22-000 
may be directed to Berk Donaldson or Leanne Sidorkewicz, NEXUS Gas 
Transmission LLC, 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 77056, by 
telephone at (713) 627-4488, or by email at 
[email protected] or [email protected].
    Any questions concerning the application in Docket No. CP16-23-000 
may be directed to Berk Donaldson, General Manger, Rates and 
Certificates, Texas Eastern Transmission, LP, PO Box 1642, Houston, 
Texas 77251-1642, by telephone at (713) 624-4488, or by facsimile at 
(713) 627-5947.
    On December 30, 2014, the Commission staff granted NEXUS' request 
to utilize the Pre-Filing Process and assigned Docket No. PF15-10-000 
to staff's activities involved in the NEXUS Project. Now, as of the 
November 20, 2015 application, the Pre-Filing Process for the NEXUS 
Project has ended. From this time forward, this proceeding will be 
conducted in Docket No. CP16-22-000, as noted in the caption of this 
Notice.
    On January 16, 2015, the Commission staff granted Texas Eastern's 
request to utilize the Pre-Filing Process and assigned Docket No. PF15-
11-000 to staff's activities involved in the TEAL Project. Now, as of 
the November 20, 2015 application, the Pre-Filing Process for the TEAL 
Project has ended. From this time forward, this proceeding will be 
conducted in Docket No. CP16-23-000, 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 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) for this proposal. 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.
    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 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

[[Page 76971]]

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: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 28, 2015.
