# Constitution Pipeline Company, LLC; Notice of Petition and Establishing Intervention Deadline
Take notice that on December 19, 2025, Constitution Pipeline Company, LLC (Constitution), P.O. Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251-1396, filed a petition pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's regulations seeking reissuance of a certificate of public convenience and necessity authorizing Constitution to construct and operate its previously approved Constitution Pipeline Project (Project) (Petition). [^1]
[^1]*Constitution Pipeline Co., LLC,* 149 FERC ¶ 61,199 (2014) (Certificate Order), *reh'd denied,* 154 FERC ¶ 61,046 (2016), *vacated sub nom. New York State Dep't of Envt. Conservation* v. *FERC,* No.19-4338 (2d Cir. Nov. 18, 2021).
Constitution states that project facilities would match its original proposal with the exception of limited variances previously approved by the Commission. Specifically, Constitution requests reissuance of certificate authority to construct: (1) approximately 125 miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania and Broome, Chenango, Delaware, and Schoharie Counties, New York; (2) the Turnpike Road Metering and Regulating (M&R) Station in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania; (3) a receipt tap in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania; (4) the Westfall Road M&R Station at Iroquois Gas Transmission System, L.P.'s (Iroquois) Wright Compressor Station in Schoharie County, New York; (5) 11 mainline valve assemblies; (6) pig launcher/receiver facilities; and (7) other appurtenant facilities.
The Project is designed to provide 650,000 dekatherms per day of firm transportation service from production areas in Pennsylvania to markets in New York and New England. Constitution requests approval of the same pro forma tariff approved in the Certificate Order. Constitution would offer cost-based firm transportation service, interruptible transportation service, and park and loan service under Rate Schedules FT, IT, and PAL, respectively. Constitution states that it intends to update the cost of facilities and recourse rates for the Project following a later petition by Iroquois seeking reissuance of the certificate of public convenience and necessity for its related Wright Interconnect Project. [^2] Until the details of Iroquois's petition are filed and more fully understood, the Commission cannot complete its analysis of the Petition.
[^2] The Commission's previous Final Environmental Impact Statement (accession number 20141024-4001) and Certificate Order addressed both the Constitution Pipeline Project and the Wright Interconnect Project.
Further, Constitution requests that the Commission reaffirm that the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation waived its authority under section 401 of the Clean Water Act by failing or refusing to act on Constitution's request for a water quality certification within one year. [^3]
[^3]*Constitution Pipeline Co., LLC,* 168 FERC ¶ 61,129 (2019) (concluding waiver), *reh'g denied,* 169 FERC ¶ 61,199 (2019), *vacated sub nom. New York State Dep't of Envt. Conservation* v. *FERC,* No.19-4338 (2d Cir. Nov. 18, 2021).
All details are more fully set forth in the petition which is on file with the Commission and available for public inspection. Constitution states that it incorporates by reference the exhibits from its original certificate application on June 13, 2013, the entire record of the Project in Docket No. CP13-499-000, and the waiver determination in Docket No. CP18-5-000.
