Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC; Notice of Amendment to Application

    Take notice that on March 14, 2016, Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC 
(ACP), 120 Tredgar Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, filed an amendment 
to its application under section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 
157 of the Commission's regulations requesting authorization to 
install, construct, own, operate and maintain certain natural gas 
pipeline facilities for its Atlantic Coast Pipeline project.
    ACP's pending application seeks authorization of: (i) Approximately 
564.1 miles of various diameter pipeline; (ii) three greenfield 
compressor stations totaling 117,545 horsepower (HP) of compression; 
and (iii) various appurtenant and auxiliary facilities designed to 
transport up to approximately 1.5 million dekatherms per day (MMDth/d) 
of natural gas. In the amendment, ACP proposes a major route change 
near the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests that would 
affect landowners in Randolph and Pocahontas Counties, West Virginia, 
and Highland, Bath and Augustana Counties, Virginia. Other, smaller 
route changes proposed in the amendment would affect landowners in 
Randolph and Pocahontas Counties, West Virginia, Bath, Nelson and 
Dinwiddie Counties, Virginia, and Cumberland and Johnston Counties, 
North Carolina. The amended facilities would increase the total length 
of the pipeline to 599.7 miles and compressor station HP from 40,715 HP 
to 53,515 HP at the proposed Buckingham County, Virginia compressor 
station, all as more fully described in the application.
    The filings may also 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, please contact FERC at [email protected] or toll 
free at (866) 208-3676, or TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions regarding ACP's or DTI's projects should be directed 
to Angela Woolard, Gas Transmission Certificates, Dominion 
Transmission, Inc., 701 East Cary Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219; 
telephone: 866-319-3382.
    Within 90 days after the Commission issues a Notice of Amendment to 
Application for the ACP, the

[[Page 18624]]

Commission staff will issue a Notice of Schedule for Environmental 
Review that will indicate the anticipated date for the Commission's 
staff issuance of the final EIS analyzing ACP's amended proposal, as 
well as Dominion Transmission, Inc.'s and Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC 
and Piedmont Natural Gas Company, Inc.'s associated proposals pending 
in Docket Nos. CP15-555-000 and CP15-556-000, respectively. The 
issuance of a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review will also 
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 final 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 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 commenters 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 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. At a future date, the 
Commission will issue a Supplemental Notice of Intent to Prepare an 
Environmental Impact Statement that opens a supplemental scoping period 
and announces procedures to solicit environmental comments on the 
amended application. This Notice will be mailed to all parties on the 
Commission's environmental mailing list for this docket.
    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 5 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 April 12, 2016.

    Dated: March 22, 2016.

Deputy Secretary.
