          - [Docket No. CP18-26-000]

                    Take notice that on December 7, 2017, Texas Eastern Transmission, LP (Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 77056, filed in Docket 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 Station in Hunterdon County, New Jersey (Lambertville East Expansion Project); (ii) charge initial incremental recourse rates and an incremental fuel percentage for firm service on the project facilities; and (iii) abandon the existing compressor units being replaced and related facilities; and (iv) any waivers, authority, and further relief as may be necessary to implement the proposal contained in its application. The Lambertville East Expansion Project will replace 10,200 hp from the existing two units being replaced and will 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 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 field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC at                     *FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov*                     or call toll-free, (866) 208-3676 or TYY, (202) 502-8659.                

                    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Berk Donaldson, Director, Rates and Certificates, Texas Eastern Transmission, LP, P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642; by telephone (713) 627-4488; by facsimile (713) 627-5947; or by email at                     *berk.donaldson@enbridge.com.*

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.                

Dated: December 20, 2017.

Kimberly D. Bose,

Secretary.
