Take notice that on March 20, 2009, Dominion Transmission, Inc. (DTI), 120 Tredegar Street, Richmond, VA 23219, filed an application in Docket No. CP09–83–000, pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and part 157 of the Commission’s regulations, for a certificate of public convenience and necessity to replace an existing 5,800 horsepower (hp) compressor unit at its Borger Compressor Station in Tompkins County, New York with a 10,310 hp unit for the dual purposes of reducing emissions at the Borger Compressor Station, pursuant to an agreement with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and providing incremental transportation service of up to 20,000 dekatherms per day (Dominion Hub II Project). The project is estimated to cost approximately $22.5 million. DTI proposes to roll-in $17.7 million of the total costs to reflect the costs to replace the existing compressor. DTI proposes to recover the remaining $4.8 million through incremental rates charged for the incremental firm transportation service.

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 PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 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 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 FEIS or 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 14 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 to the proceeding. The Commission’s rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly involved in the protest. Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be placed on the Commission’s E:\FR\FM\10APN1.SGM 10APN1
