[Docket No. CP18-26-000]


Notice of Application; Texas Eastern Transmission, LP

    Take notice that on December 7, 2017, Texas Eastern Transmission, 
LP (Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 77056, filed 
in Docket No. CP18-26-000 an application pursuant to sections 7(c) and 
7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and Part 157 of the Commission's 
regulations requesting authority to: (i) Construct, own, operate, and 
maintain two new 8,600 horsepower (hp) Solar Taurus 70 natural-gas 
fired compressor units to replace two existing natural-gas fired 
compressor units, and related appurtenant facilities on existing Texas 
Eastern's Lambertville Compressor Station in Hunterdon County, New 
Jersey (Lambertville East Expansion Project); (ii) charge initial 
incremental recourse rates and an incremental fuel percentage for firm 
service on the project facilities; and (iii) abandon the existing 
compressor units being replaced and related facilities; and (iv) any 
waivers, authority, and further relief as may be necessary to implement 
the proposal contained in its application. The Lambertville East 
Expansion Project will replace 10,200 hp from the existing two units 
being replaced and will provide additional 7,000 hp. The project is 
designed to allow Texas Eastern to deliver 60,000 dekatherms per day to 
two local New Jersey gas utilities. Texas Eastern estimates the cost of 
the project to be $110,955,942, 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 TYY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Berk 
Donaldson, Director, Rates and Certificates, Texas Eastern 
Transmission, LP, P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642; by 
telephone (713) 627-4488; by facsimile (713) 627-5947; 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 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 an 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 January 10, 2018.

    Dated: December 20, 2017.

Secretary.
