Steel Reef Pipelines US LLC; Notice of Application for Section 3 
Authorization and Presidential Permit

    Take notice that on December 8, 2017, Steel Reef Pipelines US LLC 
(Steel Reef), Suite 500, 407 8th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 1E5 
Canada, filed in the above referenced docket an application, pursuant 
to section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Subpart B of Section 153 
of the Commission's regulations, seeking authorization to site, 
construct, operate and maintain certain natural gas pipeline border 
crossing facilities to export natural gas from the United States to 
Canada (Border Crossing Facilities). The Border Crossing Facilities 
consist of a segment of 10.75-inch outside diameter pipe that extends 
from an interconnection with upstream gathering facilities for 250 feet 
to the International Boundary. The Border Crossing Facilities are a 
part of the proposed approximately 2.2-mile pipeline that further 
extends to an existing natural gas processing plant in Canada. 
Additionally, Steel Reef requests a Presidential Permit for the Border 
Crossing Facilities, all as more fully set forth in the application 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. 
This filing may be also 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, call (202) 502-8222 or TTY, (202) 208-1659.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Chris Anderson, Steel Reef Infrastructure Corp. Suite 500--407, 8th 
Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 1E5 Canada, or call (403) 263-8333 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 final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this 
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record

[[Page 61285]]

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 14 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.
    Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically 
via the internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and 
the instructions on the Commission's website under the e-Filing link.
    Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on January 10, 2018.

    Dated: December 20, 2017.

 Secretary.
