[Federal Register Volume 83, Number 18 (Friday, January 26, 2018)] [Notices] [Pages 3697-3698] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2018-01503] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. CP18-49-000] Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania, Inc.; Notice of Application Take notice that on January 16, 2018, Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania, Inc. (CPA), 121 Champion Way, Suite 100, Canonsburg, Pennsylvania 15317, filed in Docket No. CP18-49-000 an application pursuant to section 7(f) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) requesting a service area determination within which CPA may, without further Commission authorization, enlarge or expand its facilities. CPA states that this determination will allow it to transport natural gas from a delivery point in Ohio for distribution to consumers in Pennsylvania. CPA asserts that it recently discovered that one of the Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC points of delivery that serves CPA is located in Columbiana County, Ohio, approximately 679 feet from the Pennsylvania border. CPA avers that it further discovered that there is a Columbia Gas of Ohio, Inc. customer in Ohio being serviced from the CPA pipeline. CPA does not contemplate any change in its operations and does not plan to serve any customers in Ohio. CPA additionally requests that the Commission determine that CPA qualifies as a local distribution company for the purposes of transportation under section 311 of the Natural Gas Policy Act and that it be granted waiver of all reporting and accounting requirements, as well as other rules and regulations that are normally applicable to natural gas companies subject to the Commission's jurisdiction, 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 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 Brooke E Wancheck, Assistant General Counsel, 290 W Nationwide Blvd., Columbus, Ohio 43215, by telephone at (614) 460-5558 or Kenneth W Christman, Assistant General Counsel, 121 Champion Way, Suite 100, Canonsburg, Pennsylvania 15317, by telephone at (724) 416-6315. 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 [[Page 3698]] 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. 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.
