[Docket No. RP21-1058-000]


EQT Energy, LLC v. Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; Notice of 
Complaint

    Take notice that on August 27, 2021, pursuant to Section 5 of the 
Natural Gas Act \1\ and Rule 206 of the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission's (Commission) Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 
385.206 (2020), EQT Energy, LLC (Complainant or EQT Energy) filed a 
formal complaint against Texas Eastern Transmission, LP (Respondent or 
Texas Eastern), alleging that recent service cuts on Respondent's 30 
Inch System caused by a 20 percent operating pressure reduction 
required by order of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety 
Administration did not constitute an event of force majeure, and 
therefore Texas Eastern's refusal to provide EQT Energy with the 
appropriate reservation charge credits, as required by the pipeline's 
tariff, is unjust and unreasonable and contrary to Commission policy 
and precedent, all as more fully explained in its complaint.

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 717d.

    The Complainant certifies that copies of the complaint were served

file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). Protests will be 
considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to 
be taken but will not serve to make protestants parties to the 
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of 
intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. The Respondent's 
answer and all interventions, or protests must be filed on or before 
the comment date. The Respondent's answer, motions to intervene, and 
protests must be served on the Complainant.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
