seeking authority to expand its interstate natural-gas transmission 
system by constructing and operating 43.3 miles of loop pipeline. 
Overthrust states that the proposed loop pipeline will generally run 
parallel to the existing Overthrust Pipeline from the Rock Springs 
Compressor Station in Sweetwater County, Wyoming to a tie-in facility 
called Cabin 31, located within Uinta County, Wyoming (The Main Line 
(ML) 133 Loop Expansion Project), all as more fully set forth in the

    Specifically, The Main Line (ML) 133 Loop Expansion Project will 
provide up to approximately 800,000 Dth/d of natural gas from receipt 
points on the east end of its system, to delivery points on the west 
end of its system. It is further explained that Overthrust has 
negotiated three firm Transportation Service Agreements with Wyoming 
Interstate Company, Ltd. for up to 548,457 Dth/d of incremental 
capacity created by the project. The estimated cost of the proposed 
Loop Expansion is $94,288,239.
    Any questions regarding the Main Line (ML) 133 Loop Expansion 
Project should be directed to L. Bradley Burton, Manager, Federal 
Regulatory Affairs, or Tad M. Taylor, Division Counsel, Questar 
Pipeline Company, 180 East 100 South, P.O. Box 45360, Salt Lake City, 
Utah 84145-0360 or at (801) 324-2459, or brad.burton@questar.com.
    Overthrust states that by letter dated January 29, 2009, in Docket 
No. PF09-6-000, the Commission's Office of Energy Projects granted 
Overthrust's January 19, 2009, request to utilize the Commission's Pre-
Filing Process for the planned Loop Expansion. Overthrust has also 
submitted an applicant-prepared Draft Environmental Assessment that was 
prepared during the Pre-Filing Process that was included with this 
application.
    On January 29, 2009, the Commission staff granted Overthrust's 
request to utilize the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Pre-
Filing Process and assigned Docket No. PF09-6-000 to staff activities 
involving the project. Now, as of the filing of this application on 
October 13, 2009, the NEPA Pre-Filing Process for this project has 
ended. From this time forward, this proceeding will be conducted in 
Docket No. CP10-3-000, 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 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

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

to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will 
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by 
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents 
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court 
review of the Commission's final order.
