14221, filed an application in Docket No. CP11-533-000 pursuant to 
section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's 
Regulations, to reclassify an existing compression unit at the Beech 
Hill compressor station in Allegany County, New York, 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

    National Fuel proposes to reclassify Compressor Unit 3 at its Beech 
Hill compressor station \1\ from spare horsepower to use on a regular 
basis. National Fuel states that Compressor Unit 3 is a 2,850-
horsepower unit that was originally installed to allow for proper 
scheduling of maintenance and for having spare capacity available in 
the event of an interruption in service by either of the two existing 
2,750-horsepower units at the station. National Fuel also states that 
by using Compressor Unit 3 on a regular basis would allow it to spread 
the wear and tear among the three units, and thereby optimize operating 
conditions at the compressor station. National Fuel further states that 
there would be no modification to the existing horsepower, no 
additional horsepower would be installed, nor would there be any cost 
to reclassify Compressor Unit 3 in this proposal.

    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 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: September 7, 2011.

    Dated: August 17, 2011.

Secretary.
