Mountain Valley Pipeline LLC; Equitrans LP; Notice of Revised 
Schedule for Environmental Review of the Mountain Valley Project and 
the Equitrans Expansion Project

    This notice identifies the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
staff's revised schedule for the completion of the environmental impact 
statement (EIS) for Mountain Valley Pipeline LLC's (Mountain Valley) 
Mountain Valley Project and Equitrans LP's (Equitrans) Equitrans 
Expansion Project. The first notice of schedule, issued on June 28, 
2016, identified a final EIS date of March 10, 2017. However, in 
response to comments on the draft EIS issued September 16, 2016 (with a 
comment closing date of December 22, 2016), staff produced several 
environmental information requests sent to Mountain Valley and 
Equitrans in January and March, 2017, and only recently received 
information necessary for us to complete our environmental review. As a 
result, staff has revised the schedule for issuance of the final EIS.

Schedule for Environmental Review

Issuance of Notice of Availability of the final EIS--June 23, 2017
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline--September 21, 2017
    If a schedule change becomes necessary, an additional notice will 
be provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the 
project's progress.

Additional Information

    In order to receive notification of the issuance of the final 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: March 31, 2017.

 Secretary.
