[Docket No. CP18-89-000]


Empire Pipeline, Inc.; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on February 16, 2018, Empire Pipeline, Inc. 
(Empire), 6363 Main Street, Williamsville, New York 14221, filed an 
application in Docket No. CP18-89-000 an application pursuant to 
sections 7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for its Empire 
North Project. Specifically, Empire proposes to: (i) Construct a new 
21,068 horsepower (hp) compressor station in Tioga County, 
Pennsylvania; (ii) construct a new 32,000 hp compressor station in 
Ontario County, New York; (iii) modify its New Victor Regulator Station 
in Ontario County, New York; (iv) modify its Jackson Meter and 
Regulator Station in Tioga County, Pennsylvania; (v) abandon by removal 
certain related facilities; and (vi) uprate the maximum allowable 
operating pressure of the Empire Connector Pipeline. Empire states that 
the project will provide 205,000 dekatherms per day of firm 
transportation service. Empire estimates the cost of the project to be 
approximately $142,390,912, 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 website 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 
Margaret M. Duggan, Attorney, Empire Pipeline, Inc., 6363 Main Street, 
Williamsville, New York 14221, or by telephone at (716) 857-7066.
    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 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.

[[Page 10475]]

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 March 16, 2018.
