[Docket No. CP20-10-000]

Rover Pipeline LLC; Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review 
of the Wick Meter and Regulator Station Project

    On November 1, 2019, Rover Pipeline LLC (Rover) filed an 
application in Docket No. CP20-10-000 requesting a Certificate of 
Public Convenience and Necessity pursuant to Section 7(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act to construct, own, and operate a new meter station. The 
Wick Meter and Regulator Station Project (Project) would allow for the 
delivery of natural gas supplies from gathering facilities, under 
development by Eureka Midstream, LLC, for transportation on the Rover 
pipeline system, and it would be located along Rover's Sherwood Lateral 
Pipeline in Tyler County, West Virginia.
    On November 19, 2019, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
(Commission or FERC) issued its Notice of Application for the Project. 
Among other things, that notice alerted agencies issuing federal 
authorizations of the requirement to complete all necessary reviews and 
to reach a final decision on a request for a federal authorization 
within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's 
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Project. This instant notice 
identifies the FERC staff's planned schedule for the completion of the 
EA for the Project.

Schedule for Environmental Review

    Issuance of EA: March 13, 2020.
    90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline: June 11, 2020.
    If a schedule change becomes necessary, additional notice will be 
provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the 
Project's progress.

Project Description

    The Wick Meter and Regulator Station Project would consist of an 
ultrasonic meter skid and other ancillary facilities in Tyler County, 
West Virginia. The ancillary facilities would include piping and 
valves, electronic flow measurement devices, flow conditioners, 
instrumentation, telemetry, gas analysis devices, gas quality 
monitoring devices, flow control valves, condensate storage tank, and 
other related equipment. Rover would use about 2.1 acres of land to 
construct the station, of which 0.9 acre would be fenced and maintained 
for operation of the station.

Background

    On January 21, 2020, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent to 
Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Wick Meter and 
Regulator Station Project and Request for Comments on Environmental 
Issues (NOI). The NOI was sent to affected landowners; federal, state, 
and local government agencies; elected officials; environmental and 
public interest groups; Native American tribes; other interested 
parties. To date, no comments have been received in response to the 
NOI. All substantive comments will be addressed in the EA.

Additional Information

    In order to receive notification of the issuance of the EA and to 
keep track of all formal issuances and submittals in specific dockets, 
the Commission offers a free service called eSubscription. This can
