[Docket No. CP14-555-000]

Dominion Transmission, Inc.; Notice of Availability of the 
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Lebanon West II Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the 
Lebanon West II Project, proposed by Dominion Transmission, Inc. 
(Dominion) in the above-referenced docket. Dominion requests 
authorization to replace 11 non-contiguous segments of its 26- and 30-
inch-diameter TL-400 Pipeline totaling about 10.2 miles, add a 10,915-
horsepower compressor unit to an existing compressor station, and 
install other compressor station and gate assembly facilities. Dominion 
also proposes to increase the maximum allowable operating pressure 
(MAOP) of these pipeline segments from 745 pounds per square inch gauge 
(psig) to 848 psig. The project would allow Dominion to transport an 
additional 130,000 dekatherms per day from Dominion's MarkWest Liberty 
Bluestone Interconnect in Butler County, Pennsylvania to Dominion's 
Lebanon-Texas Gas Interconnect in Warren County, Ohio.
    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the 
activities associated with the project in accordance with the 
requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. The FERC staff 
concludes that approval of the proposed project, with appropriate 
mitigating measures, would not constitute a major federal action 
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
    The FERC staff mailed copies of the EA to federal, state, and local 
government representatives and agencies; elected officials; Native 
American tribes; potentially affected landowners; newspapers and 
libraries in the project area; and parties to this proceeding. In 
addition, the EA is available for public viewing on the FERC's Web site 
(www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link. A limited number of copies of 
the EA are available for distribution and public inspection at: Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, Public Reference Room, 888 First Street 
NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, (202) 502-8371.
    Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Your comments 
should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable 
alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts. 
The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. To 
ensure that the Commission has the opportunity to consider your 
comments prior to making its decision on this project, it is important 
that we receive your comments in Washington, DC on or before July 2, 
2015.
    For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to file 
your comments with the Commission. In all instances please reference 
the project docket number (CP14-555-000) with your submission. The 
Commission encourages electronic filing of comments and has expert 
staff available to assist you at 202-502-8258 or efiling@ferc.gov.
    (1) You can file your comments electronically using the eComment 
feature located on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the 
link to Documents and Filings. This is an easy method for submitting 
brief, text-only comments on a project;
    (2) You can also file your comments electronically using the 
eFiling feature on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the 
link to Documents and Filings. With eFiling, you can provide comments 
in a variety of formats by attaching them as a file with your 
submission. New eFiling users must first create an account by clicking 
on ``eRegister.'' You must select the type of filing you are making. If 
you are filing a comment on a particular project, please select 
``Comment on a Filing''; or
    (3) You can file a paper copy of your comments by mailing them to 
the following address: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC 
20426.
    Any person seeking to become a party to the proceeding must file a 
motion to intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the

[[Page 32370]]

Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 385.214).\1\ Only 
intervenors have the right to seek rehearing of the Commission's 
decision. The Commission grants affected landowners and others with 
environmental concerns intervenor status upon showing good cause by 
stating that they have a clear and direct interest in this proceeding 
which no other party can adequately represent. Simply filing 
environmental comments will not give you intervenor status, but you do 
not need intervenor status to have your comments considered.
