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 (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 in the
proceeding with the Commission and
must mail a copy to the applicant and
to every other party. 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
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

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 commenters 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 commenters will not be
required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties.
However, the non-party commenters
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.
The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings of comments, protests
and interventions in lieu of paper using
the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at https://
www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file
electronically should submit an original
and five copies of the protest or
intervention to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street
NE., Washington, DC 20426.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 220 / Monday, November 16, 2015 / Notices
Docket No. CP83–76–000,1 filed an
application in accordance to sections
157.205, 157.208, and 157.216(b) of the
Commission’s Regulations under the
Natural Gas Act (NGA) as amended,
requesting authority to abandon and
construct certain pipeline facilities
located in Fairfield County, Ohio. The
proposed abandonment and
construction are parts of Columbia’s
comprehensive modernization program
to address its aging infrastructure, all as
more fully set forth in the application
which is on file with the Commission
and open to public inspection.
Columbia proposes to abandon inplace, as well as replaces a portion of
Line G that was originally constructed
in 1902, and to abandon in-place Line
G–137. These sections of Line G and
Line G–137 pipelines consist of 13.57
miles and 1.31 miles, respectively, of
4-, 6-, and 8-inch diameter bare steel
pipe. The existing pipelines will be
abandoned in-place without earth
disturbance and Columbia will retain
the easement rights. Also, a 5,000 foot
section at the end of Line G from
Pleasantville valve to the Gatherco point
of receipt will be replaced with a 4-inch
diameter plastic pipe to maintain
service from Gatherco. The new 4-inch
diameter plastic Line G pipeline will be
installed within Columbia’s existing
right-of-way at a 15-foot offset to the
east of the existing Line G pipeline. The
reduction in pipeline diameter will have
no adverse impact on Columbia’s ability
to meet operational needs and firm
commitment on this pipeline. The
proposed abandonment will have no
impact on the services presently
provided by Columbia. Continuity of
service to the affected consumers will be
maintained by converting them to an
alternate energy source. Columbia does
not propose abandonment of any tariffbased interstate gas transportation
service when it abandons the proposed
facilities.
Any questions concerning this
application may be directed to Tyler R.
Brown, Senior Counsel, Columbia Gas
Transmission, LLC, 5151 San Felipe,
Suite 2500, Houston, Texas 77056, or by
phone at (713) 386–3797.
