On October 31, 2024, Rover Pipeline LLC (Rover), filed an
application in Docket No. CP25-12-000 requesting a Certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity pursuant to section 7(c) of the
Natural Gas Act to construct, own, and operate certain natural gas
pipeline facilities necessary to expand its existing Bulger Compressor
Station in Washington County, Pennsylvania. The proposed project is
known as the Rover--Bulger Compressor Station and Harmon Creek Meter
Station Expansion Project (Project).
On November 14, 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\

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.

Project Description
Rover proposes to construct, own, and operate certain facilities
necessary to expand its existing Harmon Creek Receipt Meter Station and
Bulger Compressor Station, within its existing Bulger Compressor
Station in Washington County, Pennsylvania. The Rover-Bulger Compressor
Station and Harmon Creek Meter Station Expansion Project would allow
Rover to ensure delivery of Range Resources--Appalachia LLC's (Range)
requested transportation quantities at the required pressures.
According to Rover, the Project is designed to receive up to an
additional 400,000 dekatherms of natural gas assets per day to Rover.
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.
