[ Docket No. CP13-502-000]
Iroquois Gas Transmission System, LP; Notice of Application
Take notice that on June 13, 2013, Iroquois Gas Transmission
System, LP, (Iroquois), filed in Docket No. CP13-502-000, an
application pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and
Part 157 of the Commission's regulations, requesting authorization to
construct, install, own, operate, and maintain certain new compression
facilities to be located in Wright, New York, and to modify certain
existing facilities at that same location, and to lease the incremental
capacity associated with these new and modified facilities to
Constitution Pipeline Company, LLC (Constitution), a proposed new
interstate gas pipeline company for which Commission authorization is
being sought concurrently with this application (Docket No. CP13-499-
000). Iroquois' proposed project will allow Iroquois to establish a new
receipt interconnection with Constitution and create an incremental
650,000 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of primary firm transmission
capacity from that new point of interconnection with Constitution to
interconnections with Iroquois' mainline system as well as Tennessee
Gas Pipeline Company, LLC. The new capacity will be leased to
Constitution under a long-term capacity lease, to be operated as part
of Constitution's FERC-jurisdictional natural gas pipeline system and
subject to the service terms of Constitution's FERC gas tariff.
Iroquois also requests the Commission's approval of its proposed
Capacity Lease Agreement with Constitution, all as more fully set forth
in the application which is on file with the Commission and open to
public inspection. This filing may also be viewed on the Commission's
Web site at http://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, call (866) 208-3676 or
TTY, (202) 502-8659.
Any questions regarding this application should be directed to
Helen M. Gallagher, Director of Legal Services and Secretary, Iroquois
Pipeline Operating Company, One Corporate Drive, Suite 600, Shelton,
Connecticut, 06484, or by calling (203) 925-7201 (telephone) [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 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. 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 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 commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
Motions to intervene, protests and comments may be filed
electronically via the internet in lieu of paper; see, 18 CFR
385.2001(a) (1) (iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site
under the ``e-Filing'' link. The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings.
Comment Date: July 17, 2013.
Dated: June 26, 2013.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
