[Docket No. CP14-545-000]

Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; Notice of Application

    On August 28, 2014, Texas Eastern Transmission, LP (Texas Eastern) 
filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) an 
application under section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of 
the Commission's Regulations for its proposed Bailey East Mine Panel 2L 
Project (Project). Texas Eastern proposes to replace and temporarily 
elevate sections of three different pipelines in order to monitor and 
mitigate potential strains and stresses on these pipelines that could 
result from longwall coal mining activities planned by Consol Energy, 
Inc. in the area beneath Texas Eastern's existing pipeline facilities 
in Greene County, Pennsylvania. The Project will ensure the safe and 
efficient operation of these pipeline facilities throughout the 
duration of the longwall mining activities, scheduled to occur in early 
2016. Texas Eastern requests that the Commission grant the requested 
authorizations by February 15, 2015.
    Questions concerning this application may be directed to Lisa A. 
Connolly, General Manager, Rates and Certificates, at Texas Eastern 
Transmission, LP, P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642, by calling 
713-627-4102, by Fax at (713) 627-5947, or by emailing 
laconnolly@spectraenergy.com.
    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 this proceeding; 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 final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this 
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for 
this proceeding 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 FEIS or EA.
    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 seven 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 encourages electronic submission of 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. This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov using 
the ``eLibrary'' link and is available for electronic 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 
TTY, call (202) 502-8659.
    Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 29, 2014.

    Dated: September 8, 2014.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
