The proposed project is known as the Rover-Bulger Delivery Meter Station Project (Project). Rover would construct, own and operate a new delivery point at Rover’s Bulger Compressor Station on their Burgettstown Lateral in Washington County, Pennsylvania. PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 On March 20, 2024, 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 document for the Project. This notice identifies Commission staff’s intention to prepare an environmental assessment (EA) for the Project and the planned schedule for the completion of the environmental review.1 Schedule for Environmental Review Issuance of EA: July 15, 2024. 90-Day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline: 2 October 13, 2024. If a schedule change becomes necessary, additional notice will be provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the Project’s progress. Project Description Rover proposes to construct, own, and operate a new pipeline delivery point interconnection at the Rover-Bulger Delivery Meter Station, entirely within Rover’s existing Bulger Compressor Station in Washington County, Pennsylvania. The Rover-Bulger Delivery Meter Station Project would allow for delivery of natural gas to ETC Northeast Pipeline LLC’s (ETC Northeast) cryogenic processing facility for processing and re-injection of the processed natural gas into Rover’s pipeline via the existing RoverRevolution Receipt Meter Station. According to Rover, the project’s interconnection would allow delivery of up to 400,000 dekatherms of natural gas assets per day to ETC Northeast. Rover does not have the authority to construct facilities pursuant to blanket certificate authority under part 157, subpart F of the Commission’s regulations, therefore, Rover was required to file an application under part 157 of the Commission’s regulations. Background On April 2, 2024, the Commission issued a Notice of Scoping Period 1 40 CFR 1501.10 (2020). Commission’s deadline applies to the decisions of other federal agencies, and state agencies acting under federally delegated authority, that are responsible for federal authorizations, permits, and other approvals necessary for proposed projects under the Natural Gas Act. Per 18 CFR 157.22(a), the Commission’s deadline for other agency’s decisions applies unless a schedule is otherwise established by Federal law. 2 The E:\FR\FM\23MYN1.SGM 23MYN1
