[ Docket No. CP13-502-000]


Iroquois Gas Transmission System, LP; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on June 13, 2013, Iroquois Gas Transmission 
System, LP, (Iroquois), filed in Docket No. CP13-502-000, an 
application pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and 
Part 157 of the Commission's regulations, requesting authorization to 
construct, install, own, operate, and maintain certain new compression 
facilities to be located in Wright, New York, and to modify certain 
existing facilities at that same location, and to lease the incremental 
capacity associated with these new and modified facilities to 
Constitution Pipeline Company, LLC (Constitution), a proposed new 
interstate gas pipeline company for which Commission authorization is 
being sought concurrently with this application (Docket No. CP13-499-
000). Iroquois' proposed project will allow Iroquois to establish a new 
receipt interconnection with Constitution and create an incremental 
650,000 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of primary firm transmission 
capacity from that new point of interconnection with Constitution to 
interconnections with Iroquois' mainline system as well as Tennessee 
Gas Pipeline Company, LLC. The new capacity will be leased to 
Constitution under a long-term capacity lease, to be operated as part 
of Constitution's FERC-jurisdictional natural gas pipeline system and 
subject to the service terms of Constitution's FERC gas tariff. 
Iroquois also requests the Commission's approval of its proposed 
Capacity Lease Agreement with Constitution, all as more fully set forth 
in the application which is on file with the Commission and open to 
public inspection. This filing may also 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, call (866) 208-3676 or 
TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Helen M. Gallagher, Director of Legal Services and Secretary, Iroquois 
Pipeline Operating Company, One Corporate Drive, Suite 600, Shelton, 
Connecticut, 06484, or by calling (203) 925-7201 (telephone) [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 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.
    Motions to intervene, protests and comments 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. The Commission strongly encourages 
electronic filings.
    Comment Date: July 17, 2013.

    Dated: June 26, 2013.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
