Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC, Columbia Gulf Transmission, LLC; 
Notice of Revised Schedule for Environmental Review of the Mountaineer 
Xpress Project and the Gulf Xpress Project

    This notice identifies the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
staff's revised schedule for the completion of the environmental impact 
statement (EIS) for Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC's Mountaineer XPress 
Project and Columbia Gulf Transmission, LLC's Gulf XPress Project. The 
first notice of schedule, issued on September 14, 2016, identified 
April 28, 2017 as the final EIS issuance date. However, due to recently 
filed re-routes and additional environmental information that required 
re-opening a scoping period, it was necessary for us to revise the 
published EIS schedule. Staff has now received all the information 
necessary to complete our review. As a result, staff has revised the 
schedule for issuance of the final EIS, based on a revised issuance of 
the draft EIS in February 2017.

Schedule for Environmental Review

    Issuance of Notice of Availability of the final EIS: July 28, 2017.
    90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline: October 26, 2017.
    If another schedule change becomes necessary, an additional notice 
will be provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the 
projects' progress.

Additional Information

    In order to receive notification of the issuance of the EIS and to 
keep track of all formal issuances and submittals in specific dockets, 
the Commission offers a free service called eSubscription (http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp).

    Dated: November 29, 2016.

Secretary.
