Commission 

[Docket No. CP14–4–000] 

Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; 

Notice of Application 

Take notice that on October 10, 2013, 

Texas Eastern Transmission, (Texas 

Eastern), having its principal place of 

business at 5400 Westheimer Court, 

Houston, Texas, 77056, filed an 

application in Docket No. CP14–4–000 

pursuant to Section 7(b) and Section 

7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and 

Part 157 of the Commission’s 

regulations, for a certificate of public 

convenience and necessity to construct 

its Emerald Longwall Mine Panel D1 

Project. Texas Eastern states in its 

application that, due to anticipated 

longwall mining activities of Emerald 

Coal Resources, LP (Emerald) in Greene 

County, Pennsylvania in Panel D1 of 

Emerald’s mine, ground subsidence may 

occur. In order to maintain the 

operation of their existing pipeline 

facilities throughout the duration of the 

subsidence anticipated from the mining 

activities, Texas Eastern proposes to 

excavate, elevate, replace, and/or 

abandon by removal certain sections of 

five different pipelines and appurtenant 

facilities located in Greene County, 

Pennsylvania, all as more fully set forth 

in the application, which is on file with 

the Commission and open to public 

inspection. This 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 

FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or call 

toll-free, (886) 208–3676 or TYY, (202) 

502–8659. 

Any questions regarding this 

application should be directed to Lisa 

A. Connolly, General Manager, Rates 

and Certificates, Texas Eastern 

Transmission, LP, P.O. Box 1642, 

Houston, Texas, 77251, or by calling 

(713) 627–4102 (telephone) or (713) 

627–5947 (fax) laconnolly@

spectraenergy.com. 

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s regulations, 18 CFR 

157.9, within 90 days of this Notice, the 

Commission’s 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’s staff 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 reach a final 

decision on a request for federal 

authorization 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 

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. 

Environmental commenters 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 commenters will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commenters 

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 5 copies of the protest or 

intervention to the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 

NE., Washington, DC 20426. See, 18 

CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the 

instructions on the Commission’s Web 

site under the ‘‘e-Filing’’ link. 

Comment Date: November 13, 2013.
