Pennsylvania.
On December 16, 2015, the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission or FERC) issued its Notice
of Application for the Project. Among
other things, that notice alerted agencies
issuing federal authorizations of the
requirement to complete all necessary
reviews and to reach a final decision on
a request for a federal authorization
within 90 days of the date of issuance
of the Commission staff’s Environmental
Assessment (EA) for the Project. This
instant notice identifies the FERC staff’s
planned schedule for the completion of
the EA for the Project.
Schedule for Environmental Review
Issuance of EA: April 13, 2017
90-day Federal Authorization Decision
Deadline: July 12, 2017
If a schedule change becomes
necessary, additional notice will be
provided so that the relevant agencies
are kept informed of the Project’s
progress.

Project Description
National Fuel seeks authorization to
abandon by sale all of its facilities
comprising its Queen Storage Field,
including the base gas in the field, its
Queen Compressor Station, and a
segment of its Line Q, approximately 5.5
miles in length, beginning at the Queen
Compressor Station and traversing
northwest to a location just south of the
Allegheny River (the ‘‘Line Q
Segment’’). Also, National Fuel seeks
authorization to construct and operate
approximately 5 miles of new 4-inchdiameter plastic pipeline (‘‘Line QP’’)
beginning at a point just north of the
Allegheny River, and traversing
southeast along or adjacent to the
existing Line Q right-of-way, to a point
approximately 2,000 feet west of the
Queen Compressor Station.
Background
On January 20, 2016, the Commission
issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Line QP, Line Q, and Queen
Storage Project and Request for
Comments on Environmental Issues
(NOI). The NOI was sent to affected
landowners; federal, state, and local
government agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest
groups; Native American tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries
and newspapers. In response to the NOI,
the Commission received comments
from the United States Army Corps of
Engineers, Pittsburgh District (USACE).
The USACE stated concern regarding
the proposed Project’s impact on
VerDate Sep<11>2014

federally listed species within the Wild
and Scenic River portion of the
Allegheny River. The U.S. Forest
Service, Allegheny National Forest
office; USACE; and the Pennsylvania
Fish and Boat Commission are
cooperating agencies in the preparation
of the EA.
Additional Information

issuance of the EA and to keep track of
all formal issuances and submittals in

Sussex Counties, Delaware and install
additional 3,750 horsepower at the

(202) 502–8659.
Any questions concerning this
application may be directed to Mark
Parker P.E., Engineering Manager,
Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company
1110 Forrest Avenue, Dover, DE 19904
by phone 1–844–366–3764 use or by
email maparker@esng.com.
Specifically, Eastern Shore proposes
(1) six 10-, 16-, and 24-inch-diameter
pipeline loop segments totaling 22.7
miles, (2) 10-inch-diameter 16.9-milelong mainline extension, (3) upgrades to
an existing Meter and Regulator station
and lateral piping at the existing
interconnect with Texas Eastern in
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and (4)
the addition of two pressure control
stations in Sussex County, Delaware.
Eastern Shore requests that the
Commission issue the requested
authorizations by May 2017 in order to
meet November 1, 2017 in-service date
requested by the project shippers who
are local utility, power, and industrial
manufacturing companies. The total
cost of the Project is estimated to be
approximately $98,578,673.
On May 17, 2016, the Commission
staff granted Eastern Shore’s request to
utilize the Pre-Filing Process and
assigned Docket No. PF16–7–000 to staff
activities involved in the above
PO 00000

referenced project. Now, as of the filing
of the December 30, 2016 application,
the Pre-Filing Process for this project
has ended. From this time forward, this
proceeding will be conducted in Docket
No. CP17–28–000, as noted in the
caption of this Notice.
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. 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 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 complete all
federal authorizations 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
five 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
