[Docket No. CP19-14-000; PF18-4-000]

Notice of Application; Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC

    Take notice that on November 6, 2018, Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC
(Mountain Valley), 625 Liberty Avenue, Suite 2000, Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania 15222, filed in Docket No. CP19-14-000 an application
pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Parts 157 and
284 of the Commission's regulations for authorization to construct, own
and operate its Southgate Project located in Virginia and North
Carolina. Specifically, Mountain Valley proposes to construct: (i)
Approximately 73 miles of new 24-inch and 16-inch-diameter pipeline,
(ii) the 28,915 horsepower Lambert Compressor Station in Pittsylvania
County, Virginia, and (iii) associated valves, piping, pig launching
and receiving facilities, and appurtenant facilities. The proposed
Southgate Project facilities commence near the City of Chatham, in
Pittsylvania County, Virginia and terminate at a delivery point with
Public Service Company of North Carolina, Inc. (PSNC) near the City of
Graham in Alamance County, North Carolina. The Project is designed to
create 375,000 dekatherms per day (Dth/d). Mountain Valley estimates
the cost of the Southgate Project to be $468,459,509. Mountain Valley
requests a separate rate zone and initial recourse rates for the
Southgate Project facilities, all as more fully set forth in the
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection.
    Commission staff has determined that this project qualifies as a
Major Infrastructure Project pursuant to the Memorandum of
Understanding Implementing One Federal Decision Under Executive Order
13807 (MOU) signed on April 10, 2018. Major Infrastructure Projects are
defined as projects for which multiple authorizations by Federal
agencies will be required and the lead Federal agency has determined
that it will prepare an Environmental Impact Statement under the
National Environmental Policy Act, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.
    The filing is available for review at the Commission in the Public
Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's website web 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, contact FERC at
[email protected] or call toll-free,<PHONE_NUMBER> or TYY,
(202) 502-8659.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to
William Lavarco, NextEra Energy, Inc., 801 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Suite
220, Washington, DC 20004, by telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by email
at [email protected].
    On May 15, 2018, the Commission staff granted Mountain Valley's
request to utilize the Pre-Filing Process and assigned Docket No. PF18-
4-000 to staff activities involved in the Southgate Project. Now, as of
the filing of the November 6, 2018 application, the Pre-Filing Process
for this project has ended. From this time forward, this proceeding
will be conducted in Docket No. CP19-14-000, as noted in the caption of
this Notice.
    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 impact statement (EIS) 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 EIS for this proposal. The filing of the final EIS 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.
    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 with the Commission and must provide 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 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.
    As of the February 27, 2018 date of the Commission's order in
Docket No. CP16-4-001, the Commission will apply its revised practice
concerning out-of-time motions to intervene in any new Natural Gas Act
section 3 or section

7 proceeding.\1\ Persons desiring to become a party to a certificate
proceeding are to intervene in a timely manner. If seeking to intervene
out-of-time, the movant is required to ``show good cause why the time
limitation should be waived,'' and should provide justification by
reference to factors set forth in Rule 214(d)(1) of the Commission's
Rules and Regulations.\2\

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low-income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, EPA
seeks information on any groups or segments of the population who, as a
result of their location, cultural practices, or other factors, may
have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human health
impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticides
discussed in this document, compared to the general population.

II. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is announcing its receipt of several pesticide petitions filed
under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA),
21 U.S.C. 346a, requesting the establishment or modification of
regulations in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of pesticide chemicals in
or on various food commodities. EPA is taking public comment on the
requests before responding to the petitioners. EPA is not proposing any
particular action at this time. EPA has determined that the pesticide
petitions described in this document contain the data or information
prescribed in FFDCA section 408(d)(2), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(2); however,
EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted data at
this time or whether the data support granting of the pesticide
petitions. After considering the public comments, EPA intends to
evaluate whether and what action may be warranted. Additional data may
be needed before EPA can make a final determination on these pesticide
petitions.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of each of the petitions
that are the subject of this document, prepared by the petitioner, is
included in a docket EPA has created for each rulemaking. The docket
for each of the petitions is available at http://www.regulations.gov.
    As specified in FFDCA section 408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), EPA
is publishing notice of the petitions so that the public has an
opportunity to comment on these requests for the establishment or
modification of regulations for residues of pesticides in or on food
commodities. Further information on the petitions may be obtained
through the petition summaries referenced in this unit.
