[Docket No. CP13-7-000]

Energy Corporation of America; Eastern American Energy 
Corporation; First ECA Midstream LLC; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on October 16, 2012, Energy Corporation of America 
and Eastern American Energy Corporation (collectively, ECA), and First 
ECA Midstream LLC (First ECA Midstream), 501 56th Street SE., 
Charleston, West Virginia 25304, jointly filed in Docket No. CP13-2-
000, an application requesting: (1) Authorization, pursuant to section 
7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's 
regulations, to abandon the limited jurisdiction certificate issued to 
ECA on March 25, 2004 in Docket No. CP03-355-000; and (2) issuance, 
pursuant to section 7(c) of the NGA and Part 157 of the Commission's 
regulations, of a limited jurisdiction certificate to First ECA 
Midstream to allow it to continue operating certain gathering 
facilities located in West Virginia acquired by First ECA Midstream 
from ECA (Line 8000 System) in the same manner as ECA has operated the 
facilities, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    The applicants explain that First ECA Midstream has acquired the 
Line 8000 System from ECA. ECA's limited jurisdiction certificate 
allowed gas volumes to be received into the Line 8000 System from 
Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC (Columbia) in order to provide service 
to the extent local production gathered by the system became 
insufficient to meet customers' needs. The applicants state that First 
ECA, as the new owner and operator of the Line 8000 System, requires a 
limited jurisdiction certificate for the same purpose, and they request 
an order on or before December 1, 2012 to enable First ECA Midstream to 
receive gas from Columbia if necessary during the winter season.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to: 
Donald C. Supcoe, Energy Corporation of America, 501 56th Street SE., 
Charleston, WV 25304, or phone (304) 925-6100, or email 
DSupcoe@energycorporationofamerica.com; and Randall S. Rich, Pierce 
Atwood LLP, 900 17th Street NW., Suite 350, Washington, DC 20006, or 
phone (202) 470-6424, or email rrich@pierceatwood.com.
    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 an original and 7 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.

    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 7 copies of the protest or intervention to the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, 
DC 20426. This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, 
using the ``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the 
Commission's Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an 
``eSubscription'' link on the web site that enables subscribers to 
receive email notification when a document is added to a subscribed 
docket(s). For assistance with any FERC Online service, please email 
FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov, or call (866) 208-3676 (toll free). For

Secretary.
