Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

November 24, 2010.
    Take notice that on November 12, 2010, Tennessee Gas Pipeline 
Company (Tennessee), 1001 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed 
an application in Docket No. CP11-30-000 pursuant to section 7(c) of 
the Natural Gas Act for a certificate of public convenience and 
necessity to construct, and operate certain pipeline and compression 
facilities to be located in Pennsylvania and New York to increase its 
pipeline capacity by up to an additional 250,000 dekatherms per day 
(Dth/d) of firm natural gas transportation service. In addition to the 
certificate authority for the facilities identified above, Tennessee 
seeks authorization to lease pipeline capacity from Dominion 
Transmission, Inc. (Dominion), as more fully described in Tennessee's 
application. The application is on file with the Commission and open to 
public inspection. This filing is available for review at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' 
link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the 
docket number field to access the document. For assistance, please 
contact FERC Online Support at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll free 
at (866) 208-3676, or for TTY, contact (202) 502-8659.
    The proposed project involves (1) installing approximately seven 
miles of a 30-inch pipeline loop segment in Bradford and Tioga 
Counties, Pennsylvania, (2) modifying Tennessee's wholly-owned 
facilities located on the Niagara Spur Line, including certain 
modifications to a compressor unit, modification of piping and valving 
at an existing check measurement facility at East Aurora, New York, and 
installation of chromatographs at four existing meter stations, and (3) 
increasing the capacity of an existing interconnection between 
Tennessee's 200 Line and Dominion's pipeline system by replacing an 8-
inch tap with a 16-inch tap.
    Dominion filed an application in Docket No. CP11-41-000 on November 
19, 2010, for authorization to provide the proposed capacity lease to 
Tennessee.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to 
Jacquelyne Rocan, Senior Counsel, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, 1001 
Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77002, phone: (713) 420-4544, fax: 
(713) 420-1601, or e-mail: jacquelyne.rocan@elpaso.com, or Thomas 
Joyce, Manager, Rates and Regulatory Affairs, Tennessee Gas Pipeline 
Company, 1001 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77002, phone: (713) 420-

    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)

[[Page 74706]]

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 14 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.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments 
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will 
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by 
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents 
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court 
review of the Commission's final order.
    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 14 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 e-mail 
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For 
assistance with any FERC Online service, please e-mail 
FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov, or call (866) 208-3676 (toll free). For
