[Docket No. CP09-83-000]


Dominion Transmission, Inc.; Notice of Application

April 3, 2009.
    Take notice that on March 20, 2009, Dominion Transmission, Inc. 
(DTI), 120 Tredegar Street, Richmond, VA 23219, filed an application in 
Docket No. CP09-83-000, pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act 
(NGA) and part 157 of the Commission's regulations, for a certificate 
of public convenience and necessity to replace an existing 5,800 
horsepower (hp) compressor unit at its Borger Compressor Station in 
Tompkins County, New York with a 10,310 hp unit for the dual purposes 
of reducing emissions at the Borger Compressor Station, pursuant to an 
agreement with the New York State Department of Environmental 
Conservation, and providing incremental transportation service of up to 
20,000 dekatherms per day (Dominion Hub II Project). The project is 
estimated to cost approximately $22.5 million. DTI proposes to roll-in 
$17.7 million of the total costs to reflect the costs to replace the 
existing compressor. DTI proposes to recover the remaining $4.8 million 
through incremental rates charged for the incremental firm 
transportation service.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Brad 
A. Knisley, Regulatory and Certificates Analysis II, Dominion 
Transmission, Inc., 701 East Cary Street, Richmond, VA 23219, telephone 
no. (804) 771-4412, facsimile no. (804) 771-4804 and e-mail: 
[email protected].
    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.
    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
