[Docket No. CP10–46–000] 

Equitrans, L.P.; Notice of Request 

Under Blanket Authorization 

February 1, 2010. 

Take notice that on January 25, 2010, 

Equitrans, L.P. (Equitrans), 625 Liberty 

Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 

15222, filed in Docket No. CP10–46– 

000, a prior notice request pursuant to 

sections 157.205, 157.208 and 157.210 

of the Commission’s regulations under 

the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authority 

to modify and replace segments of its 

mainline system at fifty-three locations 

in Greene County, Pennsylvania; and 

Doddridge, Harrison, Lewis, Marion, 

Monongalia, and Wetzel Counties, West 

Virginia and to make certain 

modifications to compressor engines at 

its Pratt Compressor Station in Greene 

County, 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.

Specifically, Equitrans proposes to 

modify and uprate its compressor units 

at the Pratt Compressor Station and to 

upgrade and increase the capacity of its 

upstream facilities that deliver into the 

Pratt Compressor Station. Equitrans 

states that the central purpose of this 

proposal is to meet market demand for 

an additional 92,000 dekatherms (Dth) 

per day of firm, off-system delivery 

capacity through the Pratt Compressor 

Station into downstream, interstate 

transmission systems operated by Texas 

Eastern Transmission LP (Texas 

Eastern), Dominion Transmission, Inc. 

(DTI), and Columbia Gas Transmission 

(Columbia). Equitrans asserts that the 

proposed upgrade and expansion of the 

subject facilities will create an 

additional 77,300 Dth per day of 

potential firm capacity. Additionally, 

Equitrans proposes to test, replace and/ 

or modify certain segments of its 

pipeline system to increase the 

maximum allowable operating pressure 

(MAOP) of its Low Pressure West 

System (LPW System) originating at the 

West Union Station to 605 pounds per 

square inch gauge (psig) and the MAOP 

of the Low Pressure East System (LPE 

System) originating at the Copley 

Station to 655 psig. Equitrans states that 

the modifications to the LPW System 

will provide an additional 51,200 Dth 

per day of potential capacity and the 

modifications to the LPE System will 

provide an additional 26,100 Dth per 

day of potential capacity. Equitrans 

states that the estimated cost of the 

subject facilities is approximately 

$9,710,241. 

Any questions regarding the 

application should be directed to Joseph 

M. Dawley, Counsel, Equitrans, L.P., 

625 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, 

Pennsylvania 15222, at (412) 553–7708 

or (412) 553–7781 (facsimile). 

Any person may, within 60 days after 

the issuance of the instant notice by the 

Commission, file pursuant to Rule 214 

of the Commission’s Procedural Rules 

(18 CFR 385.214) a motion to intervene 

or notice of intervention. Any person 

filing to intervene or the Commission’s 

staff may, pursuant to section 157.205 of 

the Commission’s Regulations under the 

NGA (18 CFR 157.205) file a protest to 

the request. If no protest is filed within 

the time allowed therefore, the proposed 

activity shall be deemed to be 

authorized effective the day after the 

time allowed for protest. If a protest is 

filed and not withdrawn within 30 days 

after the time allowed for filing a 

protest, the instant request shall be 

treated as an application for 

authorization pursuant to section 7 of 

the NGA. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests,

of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii)
