RH energytrans, LLC; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on October 16, 2017, RH energytrans, LLC (RH), 558 
West 6th Street, Erie, PA 16507, filed an application pursuant to 
section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Parts 157 and 284 of the 
Commission's Regulations requesting authority to construct and operate 
a new interstate natural gas pipeline system (referred to as the 
Risberg Line), including pipeline facilities, two compressor stations, 
metering and regulating stations and appurtenant facilities in 
Pennsylvania and Ohio.
    Specifically, the project would include a total of 59.9 miles of 
pipeline incorporating 31.6 miles of existing 8-inch and 12-inch 
diameter gas pipeline currently used as gathering facilities and 28 
miles of new 12-inch diameter pipeline. The pipeline facilities begin 
at a new point of interconnection with Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, 
LLC adjacent to the Meadville Compressor Station in Crawford County, 
Pennsylvania and extend to a new delivery point interconnection with 
the distribution facilities of Dominion Energy Ohio (DEO) in North 
Kingsville in Ashtabula County, Ohio. The project also includes the 
reconstruction and conversion of two compressor stations totaling 1,862 
hp. The Risberg Line would provide for 55,000 Dth/d of firm 
transportation service to northeast Ohio markets. The estimated cost to 
construct the project and to acquire the existing gathering pipeline is 
about $88 million.
    The filing may 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, (886) 208-3676 or TYY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to James 
F. Bowe, Jr., King & Spalding LLP, 1700 Pennsylvania Avenue, Suite 200, 
Washington, DC 20006, Phone (202) 626-9601, 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

[[Page 50647]]

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 and 7 copies of the protest or intervention to the 
Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, 
DC 20426.
    Comment Date: November 16, 2017.

    Dated: October 26, 2017.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
