[Docket No. CP17-482-000]


Ohio River System LLC; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on August 3, 2017, Ohio River System LLC (ORS), 
8111 Westchester Drive, Suite 600, Dallas, Texas 75225, filed in Docket 
No. CP17-482-000 an application pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural 
Gas Act (NGA) requesting a limited jurisdiction certificate in order to 
provide jurisdictional transportation service on its Ohio River System 
gathering facilities (ORS System). ORS further seeks a determination by 
the Commission that the proposed interstate transportation service will 
not otherwise affect the status of the ORS System as a gathering system 
not otherwise subject to the Commission's jurisdiction or affect the 
non-jurisdictional status of any other operation in which ORS is 
currently engaged. ORS proposes to provide 150,000 million British 
thermal units per day of interstate transportation service, via 
displacement, for Rover Pipeline LLC (Rover) to allow Rover's shippers 
to deliver gas to Rockies Express Pipeline LLC's system utilizing the 
ORS System. The Rover system will interconnect with the ORS System near 
Cadiz, Ohio and no new facilities are proposed to be constructed, all 
as more fully set forth in the application which is 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 this application may be directed to Alan 
Vaina, Senior Vice President, Energy Transfer Partners, L.P., 6051 
Wallace Road Ext, Suite 399, Wexford, Pennsylvania 15090, by telephone 
at (878) 332-2220, or by email at [email protected]; or 
Lisa Tonery, Partner, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, 51 West 52nd 
Street, New York, New York 10019, by telephone at (212) 506-3710, or by 
email at [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 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

[[Page 39120]]

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 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 August 31, 2017.

    Dated: August 10, 2017.
