Commission 

[Docket No. RP21–1058–000] 

EQT Energy, LLC v. Texas Eastern 

Transmission, LP; Notice of Complaint 

Take notice that on August 27, 2021, 

pursuant to Section 5 of the Natural Gas 

Act 1 and Rule 206 of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission’s (Commission) 

Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 

385.206 (2020), EQT Energy, LLC 

(Complainant or EQT Energy) filed a 

formal complaint against Texas Eastern 

Transmission, LP (Respondent or Texas 

Eastern), alleging that recent service 

cuts on Respondent’s 30 Inch System 

caused by a 20 percent operating 

pressure reduction required by order of 

the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials 

Safety Administration did not constitute 

an event of force majeure, and therefore 

Texas Eastern’s refusal to provide EQT 

Energy with the appropriate reservation 

charge credits, as required by the 

pipeline’s tariff, is unjust and 

unreasonable and contrary to 

Commission policy and precedent, all as 

more fully explained in its complaint. 

The Complainant certifies that copies 

of the complaint were served on the 

contacts listed for Respondent in the 

Commission’s list of Corporate Officials. 

Any person desiring to intervene or to 

protest this filing must file in 

accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of 

the Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). 

Protests will be considered by the 

Commission in determining the 

appropriate action to be taken but will 

not serve to make protestants parties to 

the proceeding. Any person wishing to 

become a party must file a notice of 

intervention or motion to intervene, as 

appropriate. The Respondent’s answer 

and all interventions, or protests must 

be filed on or before the comment date. 

The Respondent’s answer, motions to 

intervene, and protests must be served 

on the Complainant. 

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 may mail similar 

pleadings to the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street

BILLING CODE 6717–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP21–6–000] 

Spire Storage West, LLC.; Notice of 

Intent To Prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement for the Proposed 

Clear Creek Expansion Project, 

Request for Comments on 

Environmental Issues, and Schedule 

for Environmental Review 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) will prepare an 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

that will discuss the environmental 

impacts of the Clear Creek Expansion 

Project (Project) involving construction 

and operation of facilities by Spire 

Storage West, LLC. (Spire Storage) in 

Uinta County, Wyoming. The 

Commission will use this EIS in its 

decision-making process to determine 

whether the Project is in the public 

convenience and necessity. The 

schedule for preparation of the EIS is 

discussed in the Schedule for 

Environmental Review section of this 

notice. 

As part of the National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA) review process, the 

Commission takes into account 

concerns the public may have about 

proposals and the environmental 

impacts that could result whenever it 

considers the issuance of a Certificate of 

Public Convenience and Necessity. This 

gathering of public input is referred to 

as ‘‘scoping.’’ By notice issued on 

November 9, 2020, in Docket No. CP21– 

6–000, the Commission opened a 

scoping period; and staff intends to 

prepare an EIS that will address the 

concerns raised during that scoping 

period as well as comments received in 

response to this notice. Therefore, the 

Commission requests comments on 

potential alternatives and impacts, and 

any relevant information, studies, or 

analyses of any kind concerning impacts 

affecting the quality of the human 

environment. To ensure that your 

comments are timely and properly 

recorded, please submit your comments 

so that the Commission receives them in 

Washington, DC on or before 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time on September 27, 2021. 

Further details on how to submit 

comments are provided in the Public 

Participation section of this notice. 

As mentioned above, the Commission 

previously opened a scoping period 

which expired on December 9, 2020. All 

substantive written and oral comments 

provided during scoping will be 

addressed in the EIS. Therefore, if you 

submitted comments on this Project to 

the Commission during the previous 

scoping process, you do not need to file 

those comments again. 

If you are a landowner receiving this 

notice, a pipeline company 

representative may contact you about 

the acquisition of an easement to 

construct, operate, and maintain the 

proposed facilities. The company would 

seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable 

easement agreement. You are not 

required to enter into an agreement. 

However, if the Commission approves 

the Project, the Natural Gas Act conveys 

the right of eminent domain to the 

company. Therefore, if you and the 

company do not reach an easement 

agreement, the pipeline company could 

initiate condemnation proceedings in 

court. In such instances, compensation 

would be determined by a judge in 

accordance with state law. The 

Commission does not grant, exercise, or 

oversee the exercise of eminent domain 

authority. The courts have exclusive 

authority to handle eminent domain
