77144 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 231 / Tuesday, December 1, 2020 / Notices 

Responsible Officials 

For the Forest Service, the responsible 

official is the Under Secretary, U.S. 

Department of Agriculture, Natural 

Resources and the Environment. For the 

BLM, the responsible official is the 

Eastern States Director. 

Nature of Decision To Be Made 

Forest Service 

Given the purpose and need, the FS 

responsible official will review the 

proposed action including the POD, 

alternatives, the terms and conditions, 

stipulations, the environmental 

consequences that would be applicable 

to NFS lands, public comment, and the 

project record in order to make the 

following decisions: 

• Whether to approve a Forest Plan 

amendment that would modify eleven 

standards in the JNF’s Forest Plan; 

• Determine what terms and 

conditions, or stipulations should apply 

to a BLM ROW grant; 

• Whether to issue a written letter of 

concurrence to BLM if the decision is to 

assent to the project on NFS lands; and, 

• Whether to adopt all or portions of 

the FERC FEIS that is relevant to NFS 

lands. 

While the Equitrans Expansion 

project was included in the FERC FEIS, 

it is not on NFS lands. Therefore, no 

analysis will be prepared or decision 

made on that project. 

Bureau of Land Management 

Consistent with the MLA, 30 U.S.C. 

185, and BLM’s implementing 

regulations, 43 CFR part 2880, the BLM 

will review Mountain Valley’s revised 

MLA ROW application, the FERC FEIS, 

and the FS supplemental anlaysis to 

determine whether to approve, approve 

with modifications, or deny the MLA 

ROW application through the NFS 

lands. As a cooperating agency, the BLM 

intends to rely on and adopt the FS 

supplemental analysis for its decision, 

as long as the analysis provides 

sufficient evidence to support the 

decision and the FS addresses the 

BLM’s comments and suggestions to the 

BLM’s satisfaction. Before issuing a 

decision on Mountain Valley’s 

application, the BLM would need the 

FS’s written concurrence. Through the 

concurrence process, if the BLM’s 

decision is to approve the ROW, the FS 

would submit to the BLM any 

stipulations for inclusion in the ROW 

grant that are deemed necessary to 

protect the environment and otherwise 

protect the public interest consistent 

with 30 U.S.C. 185(h); 43 CFR 2885.11. 

The BLM decision would be 

documented in a separate ROD. 

Public Engagement Process 

Scoping was completed and 

summarized in the FERC FEIS (FEIS, 

Section ES–2, 1.4). Written, specific 

comments, including those that were 

relevant to NFS lands, identified 

concerns and issues that were addressed 

in the FEIS. Scoping will not be 

repeated and this SEIS will focus on the 

topics identified by the Fourth Circuit 

Court and others that are closely related 

to the Court’s findings including: 

JNF Forest Plan Amendment 

• The purpose and effects of the 

Forest Plan amendment on resources 

including those within the utility 

corridor; soil; water; riparian; terrestrial; 

botanical, and aquatic threatened and 

endangered species; old growth; the 

ANST, scenic integrity; and, 

• How the proposed amendment 

meets Planning Rule requirements. 

Independent Review of Sedimentation 

Analysis 

• An evaluation and assessment of 

erosion and sedimentation and its 

associated effects to water quality and 

threatened and endangered aquatic 

species; 

• An evaluation of predicted effects 

in relation to anticpated mitigation 

effectiveness, supported with rationale; 

and, 

• Disclosure on how previous 

concerns and comments related to 

erosion and its effects that were 

provided to the FERC have been 

satisfied. 

New Information and Changed 

Circumstances 

There is new information and 

changed circumstances to consider 

since the FS ROD was signed in 

December 2017. New information 

includes recent federally listed 

threatened and endangered species and 

critical habitat designations. Changed 

circumstances include the status of the 

project and road use (see Purpose and 

Need for Action). 

Additional opportunities for public 

comment will be provided when the 

Draft SEIS is available. A FS decision to 

amend the Forest Plan will not be 

subject to either the 36 CFR 218 or 36 

CFR 219 pre-decisional administrative 

review because the responsible official 

is the Under Secretary of Agriculture, 

Natural Resources and Environment (36 

CFR 218.13(b); 36 CFR 219.13(b)). 

James E. Hubbard, 

Under Secretary, Natural Resources and 

Environment, U.S. Department of Agriculture.
