[Docket No. CP18-548-000]


Notice of Application: Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company

    Take notice that on September 14, 2018, Eastern Shore Natural Gas 
Company (Eastern Shore), 500 Energy Lane, Suite 200, Dover, Delaware, 
19901, filed in Docket No. CP18-548-000 an application pursuant to 
section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the 
Commission's regulations for authorization to construct, own and 
operate: (i) About 4.9 miles of 16-inch-diameter loop line and 
appurtenant facilities in Kent County, Delaware; (ii) about 7.39 miles 
of 8-inch-diameter mainline extension and appurtenant facilities in 
Sussex County, Delaware; (iii) about 6.83 miles of 10-inch-diameter 
mainline extension in Wicomico and Somerset Counties, Maryland; (iv) 
upgrades to an existing pressure control facility, including 0.35 miles 
of 10-inch-diameter mainline extension in Sussex County, Delaware; and 
(v) delivery point measurement and regulating facilities in Sussex 
County, Delaware and Somerset County, Maryland (Del-Mar Energy Pathway 
Project). Eastern Shore states that the proposed facilities will result 
in an increase of 11,800 dekatherms per day of additional firm 
transportation service and 2,500 dekatherms per day of off-peak 
transportation service, or 14,300 dekatherms per day total. Eastern 
Shore estimates the cost of the Del-Mar Energy Pathway Project to be 
$37,100,000, 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 regarding this application should be directed to Mark 
C. Parker, P.E., Engineering Manager, Eastern Shore Natural Gas 
Company; 500 Energy Lane, Suite 200, Dover, DE, 19901 at 1 (844) 366-
3764, 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 final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or 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 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 3 copies of filings made with the Commission and must provide 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 and will be 
notified of any 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 and will not have the right to seek 
court review of the Commission's final order.
    As of the February 27, 2018 date of the Commission's order in 
Docket No. CP16-4-001, the Commission will apply its revised practice 
concerning out-of-time motions to intervene in any new Natural Gas Act 
section 3 or section 7 proceeding.\1\ Persons desiring to become a 
party to a certificate proceeding are to intervene in a timely manner. 
If seeking to intervene out-of-time, the movant is required to ``show 
good cause why the time limitation should be waived,'' and should 
provide justification by reference to factors set forth in Rule 
214(d)(1) of the Commission's Rules and Regulations.\2\
