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 original and five copies 

of the protest or intervention to the

Notice of Application 

Docket Nos. 

Questar Southern Trails 

Pipeline Company ............. CP18–39–000 

Navajo Tribal Utility Authority CP18–40–000 

Take notice that on December 22, 

2017, Questar Southern Trails Pipeline 

Company (QST), 333 South State Street, 

Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, filed an 

application, in Docket No. CP18–39– 

000, pursuant to section 7(b) of the 

Natural Gas Act (NGA) seeking 

authority to abandon: (i) Its certificate of 

public convenience and necessity, (ii) 

its Part 284 blanket certificate, and (iii) 

its blanket certificate issued under Part 

157, Subpart F of the Commission’s 

regulations. QST also requests authority 

to abandon, part by sale and part inplace, all of its certificated facilities 

dedicated to providing jurisdictional 

transportation service including 

approximately 488 miles of natural gas 

pipeline and related facilities located in 

California, Arizona, Utah, and New 

Mexico. 

Also, take notice that on December 22, 

2017, the Navajo Tribal Utility 

Authority (NTUA), P.O. Box 170, Fort 

Defiance, Arizona 86504, filed an 

application, in docket No. CP18–40– 

000, pursuant to Section 7(f) of the NGA 

and Part 157 of the Commission’s 

regulations, requesting: (i) A service 

area determination within which NTUA 

may, without further Commission 

authorization, enlarge or expand its 

natural gas distribution facilities and (ii) 

a waiver of all reporting, accounting, 

and other rules and regulations 

normally applicable to natural gas 

companies. 

QST states that it cannot 

economically justify continued 

operation of its system. Therefore, QST 

entered into an agreement with NTUA 

to sell those portions of the QST 

Facilities that are useful for natural gas 

distribution service to NTUA. NTUA 

will utilize those acquired facilities to 

provide its own service replacing the 

service historically provided to it by 

QST. The remaining facilities not sold 

to the NTUA will be abandoned inplace. 

Specifically, QST proposes to 

abandon by sale to NTUA 

approximately 268 miles of its interstate 

pipeline, three compressor stations, and 

related facilities in San Juan County, 

New Mexico and Apache and Coconino 

Counties, Arizona. 

QST proposes to abandon in-place all 

the QST Facilities not being transferred 

to the NTUA, consisting of 

approximately 220 miles of 16-inchdiameter pipeline, and related facilities, 

extending from Coconino County, 

Arizona to the terminus of the 

certificated pipeline in San Bernardino 

County, California. QST will maintain 

all the facilities abandoned in-place in 

anticipation of a future sale or 

repurpose, all as more fully set forth in 

the applications which are on file with 

the Commission and open to public 

inspection. The filing is available for 

review at the Commission in the Public 

Reference Room or may be viewed on 

the Commission’s website web at http:// 

www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.

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 these proceedings; 

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 

these proceedings 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 

these projects. 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 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
1252 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 7 / Wednesday, January 10, 2018 / Notices 

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 these projects. 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 commenters 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 commenters will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commenters 

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.
