in Redelegation Order No. 00–006.02 issued on 

November 17, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE is 

authorized under the Natural Gas Act, 

15 U.S.C. 717b(a), (c), to regulate the 

import and export of natural gas to or 

from the United States.1 As the number 

of applicants and authorization holders 

regulated under these statutory 

provisions continues to increase, DOE/ 

FE is aware that many such applicants 

and authorization holders neither reside 

in nor have a place of business or other 

corporate presence in the United States. 

Applications to import or export natural 

gas are informal adjudications 

conducted in accordance with DOE 

regulations, 10 CFR part 590, and the 

Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 

551, et seq. Applicants therefore must 

be available to receive and respond to 

timely service of process of DOE/FE 

orders and other filings, including 

pleadings submitted by parties in 

application proceedings. Additionally, 

authorization holders are subject to 

continuing agency jurisdiction and to 

terms, conditions, and reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements set forth in 

each authorization. To monitor and 

enforce compliance with its 

authorizations, DOE/FE must have the 

means to serve legal process on 

authorization holders within the United 

States. 

Accordingly, DOE/FE has determined 

that applicants and authorization 

holders that neither reside in nor have 

a place of business or other corporate 

presence in the United States must 

identify an agent within the jurisdiction 

of the United States to receive service of 

process regarding their pending 

application or existing authorization, 

respectively. As noted above, this action 

will help to ensure that all applicants 

and authorization holders are notified 

promptly of any agency or party filing 

in their proceeding, and that DOE/FE 

has the means to monitor and enforce 

compliance with the terms, conditions, 

and other requirements of its 

authorizations. 

Compliance with this procedural 

change shall be accomplished in the 

following manner: Within 30 days of the 

date of publication of this Notice in the 

Federal Register, all applicants and 

authorization holders that do not reside 

in the United States and do not have a 

place of business or other corporate 

presence in the United States must 

provide DOE/FE with the name, 

address, and telephone number of an 

agent in the United States designated to 

receive service of legal process in 

connection with their pending 

application(s) and/or existing 

authorization(s). This requirement does 

not apply to any such applicant and/or 

authorization holder that has already 

identified a U.S. agent in its existing 

proceeding in a filing or other 

correspondence with DOE/FE. 

For purposes of complying with this 

procedural requirement, the U.S. agent 

may be a natural person residing in the 

United States, a U.S. corporation, or a 

foreign corporation registered to 

conduct business in the United States 

(including the applicant or 

authorization holder itself), provided 

that the domestic or foreign corporation 

has a business address in the United 

States and is authorized by its articles 

of incorporation to act as agent. 

Submissions shall include the docket 

number and the order number(s) (if 

appropriate), the agent’s name and 

complete U.S. address, and the consent 

of the applicant or authorization holder 

to service of process on the designated 

agent as long as the authority of the 

agent continues. This requirement shall 

be a continuing obligation of applicants 

and authorization holders. Accordingly, 

it shall be incumbent upon applicants 

and authorization holders to designate a 

new agent in the event an agent 

discontinues its service as agent.

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP15–87–000] 

Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC; 

Notice of Application 

Take notice that on February 12, 2015, 

Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC 

(Columbia), 5151 San Felipe, Suite 

2500, Houston, Texas 77056, filed in 

Docket No. CP15–87–000, an 

application pursuant to section 7(c) of 

the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the 

Commission’s regulations, for a 

certificate of public convenience and 

necessity to construct and operate its 

Utica Access Project. Specifically, 

Columbia request to construct a 5-mile 

24-inch diameter pipeline from 

Dominion Transmission, Inc’s (DTI) 

Cornwell Compressor station to an 

intersection with Columbia’s existing 

line X–52–M1 in Kanawha and Clay 

Counties, West Virginia. The proposal 

will provide 205 million cubic feet 

(MMcf) per day of firm transportation 

capacity to deliver natural gas to the 

proposed facilities to be constructed by 

DTI in Docket No. CP15–7–000. The 

estimated cost of the project is $45.3 

million, all as more fully set forth in the 

application, which is on file with the 

Commission and open to public 

inspection. The 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

Any questions regarding this 

application should be directed to S. 

Diane Neal, Assistant General Counsel, 

Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC, 5151 

San Felipe, Suite 2500, Houston, Texas 

77056 or phone: (713) 386–3745. 

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 

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 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 5 copies of the protest or 

intervention to the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 

NE., Washington, DC 20426. 

There is an ‘‘eSubscription’’ link on 

the Web site that enables subscribers to 

receive email notification when a 

document is added to a subscribed 

docket(s). For assistance with any FERC 

Online service, please email 

FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov, or call 

(866) 208–3676 (toll free). For TTY, call 

(202) 502–8659. 

Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern 

Time on March 19, 2015. 

Dated: February 26, 2015.
