DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP13-551-000]


Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC; Notice of 
Application

    Take notice that on September 30, 2013, Transcontinental Gas Pipe 
Line Company, LLC (Transco), 2800 Post Oak Boulevard, Houston, Texas, 
77056, filed an application in Docket No. CP13-551-000 pursuant to 
Sections 7(b) and 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 construct and operate its Leidy Southeast Project. The 
project will enable Transco to provide an additional 525,000 dekatherms 
per day of incremental firm transportation service from two receipt 
points on Transco's Leidy Line in Pennsylvania to various delivery 
points along Transco's Mainline as far south as Transco's existing 
Station 85 Zone 4 and 4A Pooling Points in Choctaw County, Alabama. 
Specifically, the project will involve approximately 29.97 miles of new 
42-inch pipeline looping facilities; the net addition of 71,900 
horsepower at four existing compressor stations; and minor auxiliary 
modifications; and replacement of one compression unit at Transco's 
Compressor Station 517 in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, 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 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-free, (886) 208-3676 or TYY, 
(202) 502-8659.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Bela 
Patel, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC, P.O. Box 1396, 
Houston, Texas, 77251, or by calling (713) 215-2659 or email 
[email protected].
    On January 29, 2013, the Commission staff granted Transco's request 
to use the pre-filing process and assigned Docket No. PF13-5-000 to 
staff activities involving the Leidy Southeast Project. Now, as of the 
filing of this application on September 30, 2013, the NEPA Pre-Filing 
Process for this project has ended. From this time forward, this 
proceeding will be conducted in Docket No. CP13-551-000, as noted in 
the caption of this Notice.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's regulations, 18 CFR 
157.9, within 90 days of this Notice, the Commission's 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's staff issuance of 
the 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 reach a final decision on a request 
for federal authorization within 90 days of the date of issuance of the 
Commission staff's 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 7 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.
    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 5 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.
