National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on April 4, 2016, National Fuel Gas Supply 
Corporation (National Fuel), 6363 Main Street, Williamsville, New York 
14221, filed an application pursuant to sections 7(b) and 7(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA), and Part 157 of the Commission's regulations 
requesting authority to construct, replace, and abandon existing 
pipelines and modify compressor facilities along the T2K, TNY, and KNY 
natural gas pipelines, all as more fully set forth in the application 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The 
cost for the proposed project work is $29,382,602.
    Any questions concerning this application should be directed to 
Laura P. Berloth, Attorney, National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation, 6363 
Main Street, Williamsville, New York 14221-5887, by phone at (716) 857-
7001, by fax at (716) 857-7206, or by email at [email protected].
    Specifically, National Fuel seeks to; (i) construct and operate 1.2 
miles of new 20-inch-diameter pipeline, adding 2,600 dekatherms per day 
(Dth/d) of new firm service capacity (Line T2K Install); (ii) replace 
approximately 6.7 miles of 20-inch-diameter bare steel pipeline with 
7.0 miles of new 24-inch-diameter coated pipeline (Line TNY 
Replacement); and (iii) abandon approximately 14.9 miles of 20-inch-
diameter bare steel pipeline (Line KNY Abandonment), all located in 
Erie County, New York.
    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.
    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 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 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 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.
    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
