Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; Notice of Application for 
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity

    Take notice that on June 30, 2017, Texas Eastern Transmission, LP 
(Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 77056, filed 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission an abbreviated 
application under section 7 of the Natural Gas Act requesting a 
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity authorizing Texas 
Eastern to excavate, elevate, and replace four different sections of 
pipelines and appurtenant facilities located in Marshall County, West 
Virginia due to planned long-wall mining activities in October 2018 
known as the Marshall County Mine Panel 18W Project. Texas Eastern 
seeks authorization to perform work due to the anticipated long-wall 
mining activities of Marshall County Coal Company in Panel 18W of its 
Marshall County Mine, 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 ``e-Library'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the 
last three digits in the docket number field to access the document. 
For assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at 
[email protected] or toll free at (866) 208-3676, or TTY, 
contact (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions regarding this application may be directed to Lisa A. 
Connolly, Director, Rates and Certificates, Texas Eastern Transmission, 
LP, P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642; Phone: (713) 627-4102, or 
Fax: (713) 627-5947, or 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 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 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

[[Page 33489]]

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 five 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 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 original and five 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 August 3, 2017.

    Dated: July 13, 2017.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
