parameters of the field, and there will be no effect on service to any 
of Equitrans' customers, all as more fully set forth in the application 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The 
filing may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the

Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to intervene or notice of

may, pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's Regulations under 
the NGA (18 CFR 157.205) file a protest to the request. If no protest

the NGA.

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

Commission's final order.
