[Docket Nos. CP17-56-000 and CP17-57-000]


Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; Brazoria Interconnector Gas 
Pipeline LLC; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on February 3, 2017, Texas Eastern Transmission, 
LP (Texas Eastern) in Docket No. CP17-56-000 and Brazoria 
Interconnector Gas Pipeline LLC (Brazoria Pipeline) in Docket No. CP17-
57-000, 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 77056, jointly filed an 
application pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 
157 of the Commission's regulations for the proposed Stratton Ridge 
Expansion Project (Project) located in Brazoria County, Texas. The 
Project will create 322,000 Dth/d of firm transportation capacity to 
deliver natural gas from multiple receipt points on Texas Eastern's 
interstate pipeline system to a delivery point on Brazoria Pipeline's 
intrastate pipeline system at Stratton Ridge in Brazoria County, Texas.
    Specifically, the applicants request: (i) A certificate of public 
convenience and necessity for Texas Eastern to construct, install, own, 
operate and maintain the Project facilities, as proposed in the 
application, and acquire, by lease, capacity on the Brazoria Pipeline's 
non-jurisdictional facilities; (ii) authorization for Texas Eastern to 
charge the initial incremental recourse rates, an incremental fuel 
percentage and incremental electric power costs for firm service on the 
Project; (iii) authorization for Texas Eastern to establish separate 
initial incremental recourse rates and an applicable fuel percentage 
for service under Rate Schedules FT-1 and IT-1 applicable to shippers 
desiring access to the capacity leased on Brazoria Pipeline's 
facilities; and (iv) a limited jurisdiction certificate of public 
convenience and necessity authorizing Brazoria Pipeline to lease 
322,000 Dth/d of pipeline capacity on its non-jurisdictional facilities 
to Texas Eastern. The Project is part of Texas Eastern's plan to 
develop firm bi-directional transportation service to connect diverse 
supply basins with emerging Gulf Coast markets, all as more fully set 
forth in the application, which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection. The filing 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, contact FERC at 
[email protected] or call toll-free, (866) 208-3676 or TTY, 
(202) 502-8659.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Berk 
Donaldson, General Manager, Rates and Certificates, Texas Eastern 
Transmission, LP and Brazoria Interconnector Gas Pipeline LLC, P.O. Box 
1642, Houston, Texas 77251, or phone by: (713) 627-4488, or fax: (713) 
627-5947 or by email: [email protected].
    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 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

[[Page 11573]]

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 5 copies of the protest or intervention to the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, 
DC 20426.
    There is an ``eSubscription'' link on the Web site that enables 
subscribers to receive email notification when a document is added to a 
subscribed docket(s). For assistance with any FERC Online service,
