in a parallel trench; (3) pressure 

uprating of approximately 27 miles of 

existing 24-inch, 26-inch, and 36-inch 

diameter pipeline; (4) a new 25,000 

horsepower (hp) electric motor driven 

compressor station; (5) addition of 

16,000 hp at an existing compressor

On March 2, 2011, the Commission 

staff granted Transco’s request to utilize 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) Pre-Filing Process and assigned 

Docket No. PF11–4–000 to staff 

activities involving the project. Now, as 

of the filing of this application on 

December 14, 2011, the NEPA Pre-Filing 

Process for this project has ended. From 

this time forward, this proceeding will 

be conducted in Docket No. CP12–30– 

000, as noted in the caption of this 

notice. 

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
