125-Mile Pipeline Proposed Through PA & NY

Constitution Pipeline Company is asking the Commission to reissue a certificate to construct and operate about 125 miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline and related facilities through Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania and Broome, Chenango, Delaware, and Schoharie Counties, New York. The petition explicitly lists metering and regulating stations, a receipt tap, 11 mainline valves, pig launcher/receiver facilities, and other appurtenant facilities.

Transportation Services Offered (FT, IT, PAL)

Constitution states it would offer cost-based firm transportation service, interruptible transportation service, and park-and-loan service under Rate Schedules FT, IT, and PAL, respectively, using the same pro forma tariff approved in the original Certificate Order.

Request to Reaffirm NY §401 Waiver

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.

Public Participation Deadline and No-Fee Filings

The Commission notice gives the public three ways to participate (comment, protest, or file a motion to intervene) and states there is no fee to file comments or motions to intervene. The deadline to file a motion to intervene and to submit comments or protests is 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on January 29, 2026.
