[Docket No. CP14-66-000]


Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC; Prior Notice of Activity Under 
Blanket Certificate

    On January 31, 2014, Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC (Columbia) 
filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) an 
application under section 7 of the Natural Gas Act and Sections 157.205 
and 157.210 of the Commission's regulations and Columbia's blanket 
authorization in CP83-76-000, 22 FERC 62,029 (1983). Columbia seeks 
authorization to increase the horsepower of two existing compressor 
units at its Lost River Compressor Station located in Hardy County, 
West Virginia by 520 HP per unit. The facility changes are needed to 
maintain reliability levels for all current Station operating levels.
    Questions regarding this application may be directed to Fredric J. 
George, Senior Counsel, Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC, P.O. Box 1273, 
Charleston, West Virginia 25325-1273 by calling (304) 357-2359 or via 
fax at 304 357-3206.
    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 (NSER). 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 NSER 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.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 60 days after 
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 regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.205), a protest to the 
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefore, the 
proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day 
after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed and 
not withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed time for filing a 
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the NGA.
    Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants 
parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must 
file a notice of intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. 
Such motions or protests must be filed on or before the comment date. 
Anyone filing a motion to intervene or protest must serve a copy of 
that document on the Applicant, on or before the comment date. It is 
not necessary to serve motions to intervene or protests on persons 
other than the Applicant.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission 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 seven 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 email 
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For
