[Docket No. CP21-463-000]
Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; Notice of Application and
Establishing Intervention Deadline
Take notice that on June 17, 2021, Texas Eastern Transmission, LP
(Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 77056, filed an
application under sections 7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA)
and Part 157 of the Commission's regulations for its proposed Holbrook
Compressor Units Replacement Project (Project). Texas Eastern requests
authorization to abandon twelve existing reciprocating compressor units
at its Holbrook Compressor Station (Station) located in Richhill
Township, Greene County, Pennsylvania, and replace them with two new,
more efficient compressor units. Texas Eastern states that the Project
will ensure the continued safe and reliable operation of the Station,
at its certificated capacity, while meeting all current air emissions
requirements, by replacing the existing reciprocating units at the
Station. Texas Eastern states that the Project will result in a
substantially equivalent designed horsepower at the Holbrook Compressor
Station, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on
file with the Commission and open for public inspection.
In addition to publishing the full text of this document in the
Federal Register, the Commission provides all interested persons an

digits in the docket number field to access the document. At this time,
the Commission has suspended access to the Commission's Public

Regulatory Commission at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#32747760717d5c5e5b5c57614742425d404672545740511c555d44"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="15535047565a7b797c7b70466065657a676155737067763b727a63">[email protected]</span></a> or call toll-free,

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and
Procedure,\1\ within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will
either: Complete its environmental review 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 environmental
assessment (EA) for this proposal. The filing of an 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.

Public Participation
There are three ways to become involved in the Commission's review
of this project: You can file a protest to the project, you can file a
motion to intervene in the proceeding, and you can file comments on the
project. There is no fee or cost for filing protests, motions to
intervene, or comments. The deadline for filing protests, motions to
intervene, and comments is 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 23, 2021. How
to file comments and motions to intervene is explained below.
Comments
Any person wishing to comment on the project may do so. The
Commission considers all comments received about the project in
determining the appropriate action to be taken. To ensure that your
comments are timely and properly recorded, please submit your comments
on or before July 23, 2021. However, the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. To become a
party, you must intervene in the proceeding.
Persons who comment on the environmental review of this project
will be placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, and will
receive notification when the environmental documents (EA or EIS) are
issued for this project and will be notified of meetings associated
with the
[[Page 48673]]
Commission's environmental review process.
Interventions
Any person, which includes individuals, organizations, businesses,
municipalities, and other entities,\2\ has the option to file a motion
to intervene in this proceeding. Only intervenors have the right to
request rehearing of Commission orders issued in this proceeding and to
subsequently challenge the Commission's orders in the U.S. Circuit
Courts of Appeal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ 18 CFR 385.102(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To intervene, you must submit a motion to intervene to the
Commission in accordance with Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure \3\ and the regulations under the NGA \4\ by the
intervention deadline for the project, which is July 23, 2021. As
described further in Rule 214, your motion to intervene must state, to
the extent known, your position regarding the proceeding, as well as
your interest in the proceeding. [For an individual, this could include
your status as a landowner, ratepayer, resident of an impacted
community, or recreationist. You do not need to have property directly
impacted by the project in order to intervene.] For more information
about motions to intervene, refer to the FERC website at <a href="https://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp">https://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp</a>.

filed after the intervention deadline are untimely and may be denied.
Any late-filed motion to intervene must show good cause for being late
and must explain why the time limitation should be waived and provide
justification by reference to factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the
Commission's Rules and Regulations. A person obtaining party status
will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies (paper or electronic) of all
