recorded, please send your comments so 

that the Commission receives them in 

Washington, DC on or before December 

4, 2015. This is not your only public 

input opportunity; please refer to the 

Environmental Review Process 

flowchart in attachment 1. 

For your convenience, there are three 

methods you can use to submit your 

comments to the Commission. In all 

instances, please reference the project 

docket number (PF14–21–000) with 

your submission. The Commission 

encourages electronic filing of 

comments and has expert staff available 

to assist you at (202) 502–8258 or 

efiling@ferc.gov. 

(1) You can file your comments 

electronically using the eComment 

feature located on the Commission’s 

Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the link 

to Documents and Filings. This is an 

easy method for interested persons to 

submit brief, text-only comments on a 

project; 

(2) You can file your comments 

electronically using the eFiling feature 

located on the Commission’s Web site 

(www.ferc.gov) under the link to 

Documents and Filings. With eFiling, 

you can provide comments in a variety 

of formats by attaching them as a file 

with your submission. New eFiling 

users must first create an account by 

clicking on ‘‘eRegister.’’ You must select 

the type of filing you are making. If you 

are filing a comment on a particular 

project, please select ‘‘Comment on a 

Filing’’; or 

(3) You can file a paper copy of your 

comments by mailing them to the 

following address: Kimberly D. Bose, 

Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, 888 First Street NE., Room 

1A, Washington, DC 20426. 

In addition to the methods listed 

above, we will also hold public scoping 

meetings and mail notices to our 

environmental mailing list identifying 

the date, time, and locations of these 

meetings later this year. 

Environmental Mailing List 

The environmental mailing list 

includes federal, state, and local 

government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American Tribes; other 

interested parties; and local libraries 

and newspapers. This list also includes 

all affected landowners (as defined in 

the Commission’s regulations) who are 

potential right-of-way grantors, whose 

property may be used temporarily for 

project purposes, or who own homes 

within certain distances of aboveground 

facilities, and anyone who submits 

comments on the project. We will 

update the environmental mailing list as 

the analysis proceeds to ensure that we 

send the information related to this 

environmental review to all individuals, 

organizations, and government entities 

interested in and/or potentially affected 

by the planned project. 

Copies of the completed draft EIS will 

be sent to the environmental mailing list 

for public review and comment. If you 

would prefer to receive a paper copy of 

the document instead of the CD version, 

or would like to remove your name from 

the mailing list, please return the 

attached Information Request 

(attachment 3). 

Becoming an Intervenor 

Once the Applicants file its 

application with the Commission, you 

may want to become an ‘‘intervenor’’ 

which is an official party to the 

Commission’s proceeding. Intervenors 

play a more formal role in the process 

and are able to file briefs, appear at 

hearings, and be heard by the courts if 

they choose to appeal the Commission’s 

final ruling. An intervenor formally 

participates in the proceeding by filing 

a request to intervene. Instructions for 

becoming an intervenor are in the User’s 

Guide under the ‘‘e-filing’’ link on the 

Commission’s Web site. Please note that 

the Commission will not accept requests 

for intervenor status at this time. You 

must wait until the Commission 

receives a formal application for the 

project. 

Additional Information

project is available from the 

Commission’s Office of External Affairs,

provides access to the texts of formal 

documents issued by the Commission, 

such as orders, notices, and 

rulemakings. 

In addition, the Commission offers a 

free service called eSubscription which 

allows you to keep track of all formal 

issuances and submittals in specific 

dockets. This can reduce the amount of 

time you spend researching proceedings 

by automatically providing you with 

notification of these filings, document 

summaries, and direct links to the 

documents. Go to www.ferc.gov/docsfiling/esubscription.asp. 

Further, public meetings or site visits 

will be posted on the Commission’s 

calendar located at www.ferc.gov/

EventCalendar/EventsList.aspx along

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP15–95–000] 

Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC; 

Notice of Application 

Take notice that on February 20, 2015, 

Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC 

(Columbia) 5151 San Felipe, Suite 2500, 

Houston, Texas 77056, filed an 

application pursuant to sections 7(b) 

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

and the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission’s (Commission) regulations 

seeking authorization to replace 

approximately 34 miles of existing 20- 

inch diameter pipeline with like size 

pipeline in Greene, Washington, and 

Allegheny counties, Pennsylvania, and 

install necessary appurtenant facilities 

associated with the replacement 

pipeline (Tri-County Project), all as 

more fully described 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 field to access the 

document. For assistance, contact FERC 

at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or call 

toll-free, (866) 208–3676 or TTY, (202) 

502–8659. 

Any questions regarding this 

application should be directed to Tyler 

R. Brown, Senior Counsel, Columbia 

Gas Transmission, LLC, 5151 San Felipe 

Suite 2500, Houston, TX 77056, or call 

(713) 386–3797. 

On May 27, 2014, Commission staff 

granted Columbia’s request to use the 

pre-filing process and assigned Docket 

No. PF14–11–000 to staff activities 

involving the Tri-County Project. Now, 

as of the filing of this application on 

February 20, 2015, the NEPA Pre-Filing 

Process for this project has ended. From 

this time forward, this proceeding will 

be conducted in Docket No. CP15–95– 

000 as noted in the caption of this 

Notice. 

Specifically, Columbia will replace 

pipe in three segments. Segment 1 

begins at Columbia’s Hero-Jollytown 

regulator station in Greene County, and 

continues 15 miles north to Columbia’s 

existing Waynesburg Compressor 

Station. Segment 2 begins at a point 

near Columbia’s existing Redd Farm 

Compressor Station 4 in Washington 

County, and continues approximately 

11 miles in a northerly direction to the 

existing Sharp Farm station. Segment 3 

begins at Columbia’s Sharp Farm 

station, and continues 12 miles north to 

the terminus of Line 1570 where it 

intersects with 20-inch Line 1485 in 

Allegheny County. Columbia states that 

the total cost of the replacement project 

is approximately 136 million dollars. 

Additionally, Columbia is requesting a 

pre-determination for rolled-in rate 

treatment since the primary purpose of 

the Tri-County Project is to replace 

existing bare steel pipeline due to the 

age and condition of the facilities. 

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 in the 

proceeding with the Commission and 

must mail a copy to the applicant and 

to every other party. 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.
