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, and interventions via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.
