No. CP18–26–000 an application 

pursuant to sections 7(c) and 7(b) of the 

Natural Gas Act (NGA), and Part 157 of 

the Commission’s regulations requesting 

authority to: (i) Construct, own, operate, 

and maintain two new 8,600 

horsepower (hp) Solar Taurus 70 

natural-gas fired compressor units to 

replace two existing natural-gas fired 

compressor units, and related 

appurtenant facilities on existing Texas 

Eastern’s Lambertville Compressor

provide additional 7,000 hp. The project 

is designed to allow Texas Eastern to 

deliver 60,000 dekatherms per day to 

two local New Jersey gas utilities. Texas 

Eastern estimates the cost of the project 

to be $110,955,942, all as more fully set

with the Commission and open to 

public inspection. The filing may also

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 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 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 

five 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 five 

copies of the protest or intervention to 

the Federal Energy regulatory 

Commission, 888 First Street NE, 

Washington, DC 20426. 

Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern 

Time on January 10, 2018.

Mexico (General Permit No. 

GEG460000) for new and existing source 

discharges in the Offshore Subcategory

occurring offshore the coasts of Alabama 

and Florida. The western boundary of 

the coverage area is demarcated by 

Mobile and Visoca Knoll lease blocks 

located seaward of the outer boundary 

of the territorial seas from the coasts of 

Mississippi and Alabama. The permit 

term will be no longer than five years 

from the effective date of the permit. 

Individual permits will be issued for 

operating facilities on lease blocks 

traversed by and shoreward of the 200- 

meter water depth. 

The draft NPDES general permit was 

publicly noticed from August 18, 2016

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authorization To Discharge Under the 

National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System 

In compliance with the Federal Water 

Pollution Control Act, as amended (33 

U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), operators of 

offshore oil and gas facilities in lease 

blocks located in Outer Continental 

Shelf (OCS) Federal water in the eastern 

portion of the Gulf of Mexico seaward 

of the outer boundary of the territorial 

seas in water depths seaward of 200 

meters, occurring offshore the coasts of 

Alabama and Florida and in the western 

boundary of the coverage area 

demarcated by Mobile and Visoca Knoll 

lease blocks located seaward of the 

outer boundary of the territorial seas 

from the coasts of Mississippi and 

Alabama, are authorized to discharge to 

receiving waters in accordance with 

effluent limitations, monitoring 

requirements, and other conditions set 

forth in Parts I, II, III, IV and V, and 

appendices. 

Operators of facilities within the 

NPDES general permit coverage area 

must submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to 

the Regional Administrator, prior to 

discharge, that they intend to be covered 

by the general permit (See Part I.A.4). 

The effective date of coverage will be 

the postmarked date of the NOI, or if the 

postmarked date is illegible, the 

effective date of coverage will be two 

days prior to the receipt date of the NOI. 

Administratively continued coverages 

under the previous NPDES general 

permit will cease for operators 30 days 

after the effective date of the new 

permit. Therefore, such operators must 

submit a new NOI to be covered under 

this general permit within 30 days after 

the effective date of this permit. If a 

permit application for an individual 

permit is filed, the coverage under the 

previous general permit terminates 

when a final action is taken on the 

application for an individual permit. 

This permit and the authorization to 

discharge shall expire midnight, Eastern 

Standard Time, five years from the 

effective date. 

Dated: December 14, 2017.
