    Specifically, Texas Eastern proposes to construct and operate (1) a 
new CS in Calcasieu Parish, comprised of one 30,000 ISO-rated HP, 
natural gas-driven turbine compressor unit and related appurtenances; 
(2) a new delivery M&R station and related facilities, including 0.2 
miles of 20-inch-diameter interconnecting piping, at a new interconnect 
with TransCameron's pipeline system in Cameron Parish; (3) a new 
receipt M&R station and related facilities at a new interconnect with 
Momentum Midstream, LLC in Beauregard Parish; (4) a new bi-directional 
M&R station and related facilities at a new interconnect with Trunkline 
Gas Company, LLC in Jefferson Davis Parish; (5) installation of 
equipment, including a filter separator and regulator at the Gillis CS 
in Beauregard Parish; and (6) other related auxiliary facilities and 
appurtenances. The cost of the proposed project is estimated at 
$149,000,000.
    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 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

[[Page 55312]]

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 five 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.
    As of the February 27, 2018 date of the Commission's order in 
Docket No. CP16-4-001, the Commission will apply its revised practice 
concerning out-of-time motions to intervene in any new NGA section 3 or 
section 7 proceeding.\1\ Persons desiring to become a party to a 
certificate proceeding are to intervene in a timely manner. If seeking 
to intervene out-of-time, the movant is required to show good cause why 
the time limitation should be waived, and should provide justification 
by reference to factors set forth in Rule 214(d)(1) of the Commission's 
Rules and Regulations.\2\
