Dominion Transmission, Inc.; Notice of Application To Amend 
Certificates and Authorize Abandonment by Sale

    Take notice that on June 13, 2013, Dominion Transmission, Inc. 
(DTI), 120 Tredegar Street, Richmond, VA filed an application under 
Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 the Commission's Rules 
and Regulations for authorization abandon its existing Line No. TL-388 
and associated facilities by sale to Blue Racer Midstream, LLC (Blue 
Racer), a gathering company. DTI further requested authority to amend 
certain certificates to remove and/or replace the affected pipeline 
interconnects from its Part 157 service agreements, and to abandon 
related pipeline interconnects on Line No. TL-388, all as more fully 
set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and 
open to public inspection.
    DTI plans to cut and cap TL-388 at Texas Eastern Transmission, LP--
Summerfield, Tennessee Gas--Pipeline-Gilmore, Rockies Express Pipeline 
LLC--Noble, and upstream of the interconnect with DTI's TL-384 pipeline 
near DTI's Gilmore Measuring Station. There potentially may be some 
very localized, minimal ground disturbances to disconnect the abandoned 
facilities, and to remove and relocate the M&R equipment.
    Following the sale, Blue Racer will use the facilities to provide a 
gathering function. Blue Racer plans to tie the northern end of TL-388 
into Blue Racer's Guernsey to Lewis connector. DTI then plans to tie 
the southern end of TL-388 into Blue Racer's proposed Berne processing 
plant. Blue Racer will use the TL-388 facilities to gather Utica Shale 
production for processing at one of Blue Racer's plants--Natrium, Lewis 
or Berne. Blue Racer has agreed to pay for all costs of the interim 
receipt interconnect and will retain ownership of (and DTI will 
abandon) the interim receipt facilities as part of the transfer of the 
TL-388 facilities.
    The filing may also be viewed on the web 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

    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.
    Any questions regarding this Application should be directed to 
Machelle F. Grim, Dominion Resources Services, Inc., 701 East Cary 
Street, 5th Floor, Richmond, VA 23219, telephone no. (804) 771-3805, 
facsimile no. (804) 771-4804 and email: Machelle.F.Grim@dom.com.
    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, before the 
comment date of this notice, 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

[[Page 38702]]

filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must submit 5 
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 commenters 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 commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters 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.
    Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically 
via the Internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and 
the instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing'' 
link.
    Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 11, 2013.

    Dated: June 20, 2013.
 Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
