    Take notice that on September 16, 2013, Equitrans, L.P. 
(Equitrans), 625 Liberty Avenue, Suite 1700, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 
15222-3111, filed in Docket No. CP13-547-000, a prior notice request 
pursuant to sections 157.205, 157.208(c), and 157.210 of the 
Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA). Equitrans 
seeks authorization to construct a 12,913 horsepower turbine compressor 
at its existing Jefferson Compressor Station in Green County, 
Pennsylvania, at an estimated cost of approximately $30,800,000. The 
project is intended to provide approximately 600 million cubic feet per 
day of additional capacity to serve the needs of producers in the 
Marcellus Shale region of northern West Virginia and Southwestern 
Pennsylvania, all as more fully set forth in the application which is 
on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    The filing may 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 
assistance, contact FERC at [email protected] or call toll-

    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Paul 
W. Diehl, Senior Counsel--Midstream, at EQT Corporation, 625 Liberty 
Avenue, Suite 1700, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or by calling (412) 395-5540, 
or by email to [email protected].
    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 60 days after the 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and, pursuant to section 157.205 of 
the Commission's Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest

day after the time allowed for protest. If a protest is filed and not 
withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, 
the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to section 7 of the NGA.
    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.
    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.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests, and interventions via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site (www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link. Persons unable to file 
electronically should submit an original and 7 copies of the protest or 
intervention to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
Street NE., Washington, DC 20426. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and 
the instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing'' 
link.

    Dated: September 26, 2013.

Deputy Secretary.
