[Docket No. CP18-544-000]


Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on September 5, 2018, Columbia Gas Transmission, 
LLC, (Columbia), filed an application in Docket No. CP18-544-000 
pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157.17 of the 
Commission's Regulations, seeking the issuance of a temporary 
certificate authorizing the installation of temporary compression at 
its Petersburg Compressor Station in Prince George County, Virginia 
(Station), in order to maintain uninterrupted service to its customers 
during an unanticipated outage of existing compression due to emergency 
restoration activities required at the Station site.
    Columbia states that subsidence due to poor soil conditions has 
resulted in foundation damage as well as the unsafe buildup of stresses 
on Station piping that presents safety and reliability risks if further 
settlement is not prevented. Columbia states that its plan to stabilize 
further settlement and to repair the Station foundation and piping will 
require a six-to-eight month full Station outage. In order to begin the 
remedial measures, Columbia plans to temporarily install four leased 
1,380 horsepower (hp) compressors approximately 250 feet northeast of 
the Station which will allow the existing compressors to be taken off 
line during restoration activities. The cost of the temporary 
compression, including installation, operation, and removal, is 
approximately $7.6 million.
    Columbia further states that its customers, including the City of 
Norfolk, Virginia and the CALP Power Plant, are dependent on the 
Station compression for their natural gas service and therefore an in-
service date of November 1, 2018 is needed for the temporary 
compression in order to maintain uninterrupted service during the 2018-
2019 winter heating season. Therefore, the Commission will require a 
shortened notice period until September 25, 2018 for this proceeding.
    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 regarding this application should be directed to 
Sorana Linder, Director, Modernization & Certificates, Columbia Gas 
Transmission, LLC, 700 Louisiana Street, Suite 700, Houston, TX 77002-
2700 or at phone (832) 320-5209, or via email at 
[email protected].
    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 7 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.

[[Page 46937]]

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.
