PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 On January 12, 2018, Adelphia Gateway, LLC (Adelphia) filed an application in Docket No. CP18–46–000 requesting a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act to construct and operate certain natural gas pipeline facilities, as well as acquire and convert an existing oil pipeline (southern segment) and an existing dual-phase oil and natural gas pipeline (northern segment) to natural gas only. On August 31, 2018, Adelphia filed an amendment to the application proposing to increase its proposed capacity on the northern segment, but would not result in any changes to the proposed facilities. The proposed project is located in both Pennsylvania and Delaware and is known as the Adelphia Gateway Project (Project). As amended, the Project would provide about 250 and 350 million standard cubic feet of natural gas per day on the existing 18-inch-diameter and 20-inchdiameter portions of the northern segment, respectively. The Project would also provide 250 million standard cubic feet of natural gas per day on the existing 18-inch-diameter southern segment to the greater Philadelphia industrial region with potential to serve additional markets in the northeast. On January 23, 2018, 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—January 4, 2019 90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline—April 4, 2019 If a schedule change becomes necessary, additional notice will be provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the Project’s progress.
