Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline, LLC; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on December 20, 2019, Dominion Energy Questar 
Pipeline, LLC (DEQP), 333 South State St, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, 
filed an application in Docket No. CP20-31-000, pursuant to section 
7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission's (Commission) regulations seeking authorization to abandon 
by sale to North Shore Energy, LLC (North Shore), approximately 20.8 
miles of 10-inch-diameter pipeline, including associated metering and 
regulating facilities and appurtenances. The pipeline facilities, known 
as Jurisdictional Lateral (JL) 28 Facilities, are all located in 
Sweetwater County, Wyoming, (Sweetwater Pipeline Abandonment Project), 
all as more fully described in the application which is on file with 
the Commission and open to public inspection. The filing may also be 
viewed on the web at https://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. 
Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket 
number field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC at 
[email protected] or call toll-free, (866) 208-3676 or TTY, 
(202) 502-8659.
    DEQP states that the proposed abandonment will serve the public 
convenience and necessity because the JL 28 Facilities are presently 
underutilized and no longer needed to provide jurisdictional service. 
The proposed abandonment will not impede traditional gas flow or access 
to downstream markets. DEQP also states that North Shore intends to 
incorporate the JL 28 Facilities into its existing gathering system 
located in the area.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Mark 
C. Stevens, General Manager--Regulatory Affairs (Gas) Dominion Energy 
Services, LLC, 707 E Main Street, 8th & Main--20th Floor, Richmond, VA 
23219, by phone at (804) 775-5431, or by email at 
[email protected].
    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 3 copies of filings made in the proceeding with the Commission 
and must provide 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 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

[[Page 2124]]

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 environmental mailing list, and will be 
notified of any 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 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 3 copies of the protest or intervention to the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington, 
DC 20426.
    Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on January 28, 2020.

    Dated: January 7, 2020.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
