compliance filing if you have previously 

intervened in the same docket. 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. 

Anyone filing a motion to intervene or 

protest must serve a copy of that 

document on the Applicant. In reference 

to filings initiating a new proceeding, 

interventions or protests submitted on 

or before the comment deadline need 

not be served on persons other than the 

Applicant. 

As it relates to any qualifying facility 

filings, the notices of self-certification 

[or self-recertification] listed above, do 

not institute a proceeding regarding 

qualifying facility status. A notice of 

self-certification [or self-recertification] 

simply provides notification that the 

entity making the filing has determined 

the facility named in the notice meets 

the applicable criteria to be a qualifying 

facility. Intervention and/or protest do 

not lie in dockets that are qualifying 

facility self-certifications or selfrecertifications. Any person seeking to 

challenge such qualifying facility status 

may do so by filing a motion pursuant 

to 18 CFR 292.207(d)(iii). Intervention 

and protests may be filed in response to 

notices of qualifying facility dockets 

other than self-certifications and selfrecertifications. 

The Commission encourages 

electronic submission of protests and 

interventions in lieu of paper, using the 

FERC Online links at http:// 

www.ferc.gov. To facilitate electronic 

service, persons with Internet access 

who will eFile a document and/or be 

listed as a contact for an intervenor 

must create and validate an 

eRegistration account using the

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP10–22–000] 

Magnum Gas Storage, LLC; Magnum 

Solutions, LLC; Notice of Availability 

of the Environmental Assessment for 

the Proposed Magnum Storage Project 

and Proposed Pony Express Resource 

Management Plan Amendment for the 

Bureau of Land Management 

November 23, 2010. 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

natural gas storage and pipeline 

facilities proposed by Magnum Gas 

Storage, LLC and Magnum Solutions, 

LLC (Magnum) in the above-referenced 

docket. 

The EA was prepared to satisfy the 

requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that 

approval of the proposed project, with 

appropriate mitigating measures, would 

not constitute a major Federal action 

significantly affecting the quality of the 

human environment. 

The Bureau of Land Management 

(BLM), the State of Utah, Public Lands 

Policy Coordination Office, and Millard 

County, Utah participated as 

cooperating agencies in the preparation 

of the EA. Cooperating agencies have 

jurisdiction by law or special expertise 

with respect to resources potentially 

affected by the proposal and participate 

in the NEPA analysis. The BLM intends 

to adopt and use the EA to consider the 

issuance of right-of-way grants on 

federally administered lands as well as 

to amend the BLM’s Salt Lake Field 

Office Pony Express Resource 

Management Plan (RMP) to establish a 

utility corridor. As such, the EA 

addresses the BLM’s Proposed Pony 

Express Resource Management Plan 

Amendment (PRMPA). While the 

conclusions and recommendations 

presented in the EA were developed 

with input from the cooperating 

agencies, the BLM will present its own 

conclusions and recommendations in its 

respective Record of Decision for the 

project. 

The EA/PRMPA addresses the 

potential environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

following project facilities: 

• Four natural gas storage caverns; 

• Five water supply wells; 

• Four cavern solution mining and 

natural gas injection/withdrawal wells; 

• Numerous project-related facilities 

including pumping and compressor 

stations, gas handling equipment, 

associated valves and piping, electric 

generators, and other support buildings/ 

systems; 

• Three brine evaporation ponds; 

• Several groundwater monitoring 

wells and other groundwater monitoring 

equipment; and 

• A 61.6-mile-long, 36-inch-diameter 

natural gas transmission pipeline and 

associated facilities. 

The EA/PRMPA has been placed in 

the public files of the FERC and is 

available for public viewing on the 

FERC’s Web site at http://www.ferc.gov 

using the eLibrary link. A limited 

number of copies of the EA are available 

for distribution and public inspection 

at: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, Public Reference Room, 

888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, 

Washington, DC 20426, (202) 502–8371. 

Copies of the EA/PRMPA have been 

mailed to Federal, State, and local 

government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American tribes; 

potentially affected landowners and 

other interested individuals and groups; 

newspapers and libraries in the project 

area; and parties to this proceeding. 

Any person wishing to comment on 

the EA/PRMPA may do so. Your 

comments should focus on the potential 

environmental effects, reasonable 

alternatives, and measures to avoid or 

lessen environmental impacts. The more 

specific your comments, the more useful 

they will be. To ensure that your 

comments are properly recorded and 

considered prior to a Commission 

decision on the proposal, it is important 

that we receive your comments in 

Washington, DC on or before December 

23, 2010. Comments specific to the 

PRMPA should be addressed to the BLM 

(see specific procedures in Attachment 

1). 

For your convenience, there are three 

methods you can use to submit your 

comments to the Commission. In all 

instances please reference the project 

docket number (CP10–22–000) with 

your submission. The Commission 

encourages electronic filing of 

comments and has dedicated eFiling 

expert staff available to assist you at 

202–502–8258 or efiling@ferc.gov.

1 Interventions may also be filed electronically via 

the Internet in lieu of paper. See the previous 

discussion on filing comments electronically. 

(1) You may file your comments 

electronically by using the eComment 

feature, which is located on the 

Commission’s Web site at http:// 

www.ferc.gov under the link to 

Documents and Filings. An eComment 

is an easy method for interested persons 

to submit brief, text-only comments on 

a project; 

(2) You may file your comments 

electronically by using the eFiling 

feature, which is located on the 

Commission’s Web site at http:// 

www.ferc.gov under the link to 

Documents and Filings. With eFiling 

you can provide comments in a variety 

of formats by attaching them as a file 

with your submission. New eFiling 

users must first create an account by 

clicking on ‘‘eRegister.’’ You will be 

asked to select the type of filing you are 

making. A comment on a particular 

project is considered a ‘‘Comment on a 

Filing’’; or 

(3) You may file a paper copy of your 

comments at the following address: 

Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street, NE., Room 1A, Washington, 

DC 20426. 

Although your comments will be 

considered by the Commission, simply 

filing comments will not serve to make 

the commentor a party to the 

proceeding. Any person seeking to 

become a party to the proceeding must 

file a motion to intervene pursuant to 

Rule 214 of the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 

385.214).1 Only intervenors have the 

right to seek rehearing of the 

Commission’s decision. 

Affected landowners and parties with 

environmental concerns may be granted 

intervenor status upon showing good 

cause by stating that they have a clear 

and direct interest in this proceeding 

which would not be adequately 

represented by any other parties. You do 

not need intervenor status to have your 

comments considered. 

Additional information about the 

project is available from the 

Commission’s Office of External Affairs,

eLibrary link also provides access to the 

texts of formal documents issued by the 

Commission, such as orders, notices, 

and rulemakings. 

In addition, the Commission offers a 

free service called eSubscription which 

allows you to keep track of all formal 

issuances and submittals in specific 

dockets. This can reduce the amount of 

time you spend researching proceedings 

by automatically providing you with 

notification of these filings, document 

summaries, and direct links to the 

documents. Go to http://www.ferc.gov/ 

esubscribenow.htm. 

The BLM will issue a separate 

Decision Record (DR) for this project. As 

part of the BLM decision-making 

process, certain additional steps must be 

completed. Details on how to participate 

in that process are provided below. 

BLM Proposed Plan Amendment 

The EA/PRMPA contains a Proposed 

Amendment of the Pony Express 

Resource Management Plan. The 

amendment would create a 250-footwide utility corridor. Pursuant to BLM’s 

planning regulations at 43 CFR 1610.5– 

2, any person who participated in the 

planning process for this Proposed Plan 

Amendment and has an interest which 

may be adversely affected by the 

planning decision may protest approval 

of the planning decision within 30 days 

from the date this Notice of Availability 

for the EA/PRMPA is published in the 

Federal Register. For further 

information on filing a protest of the 

BLM planning decision, please see the 

accompanying protest regulations in the 

pages that follow (labeled as Attachment 

#1). The regulations specify the required 

elements of your protest. Take care to 

document all relevant facts. As much as 

possible, reference or cite the planning 

documents or available planning 

records (e.g., meeting minutes or 

summaries, correspondence, etc.). If 

your protest does not include all of the 

elements outlined in 43 CFR 1610.5–2, 

the BLM will not respond to your 

protest. 

E-mailed and faxed protests will not 

be accepted as valid protests unless the 

protesting party also provides the 

original letter by either regular or 

overnight mail postmarked by the close 

of the BLM’s protest period. Under these 

conditions, the BLM will consider the 

emailed or faxed protest as an advance 

copy and will afford it full 

consideration. If you wish to provide 

the BLM with such advance 

notification, please direct faxed protests 

to the attention of Brenda HudgensWilliams, BLM protest coordinator, at 

(202) 912–7212, and e-mailed protests 

to: Brenda_Hudgens-Williams@blm.gov. 

All protests, including the follow-up 

letter to emails or faxes, must be in 

writing and mailed to one of the 

following addresses: 

Regular mail Overnight mail 

Director (210) Director (210) 

Attention: Brenda Williams Attention: Brenda Williams 

P.O. Box 66538 1620 L Street, NW., Suite 1075 

Washington, DC 20035 Washington, DC 20036 

Before including your address, phone 

number, e-mail address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

protest, be advised that your entire 

protest—including your personal 

identifying information—may be made 

publicly available at any time. While 

you can ask us in your protest to 

withhold from public review your 

personal identifying information, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

The BLM Director will make every 

attempt to promptly render a decision 

on each protest. The decision will be in 

writing and will be sent to the 

protesting party by certified mail, return 

receipt requested. The decision of the 

BLM Director shall be the final decision 

of the Department of the Interior. 

Responses to protest issues will be 

compiled and formalized in a Director’s 

Protest Decision Report made available 

following issuance of the decisions. 

Upon resolution of all land use plan 

amendment protests, the BLM will issue 

an Approved RMP Amendment and DR.

74710 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 230 / Wednesday, December 1, 2010 / Notices 

Unlike land use planning decisions, 

implementation decisions included in 

this EA/PRMPA are not subject to 

protest under the BLM planning 

regulations, but are subject to an 

administrative review process, through 

appeals to the Office of Hearings and 

Appeals, Interior Board of Land Appeals 

pursuant to 43 CFR, part 4, subpart E. 

Implementation decisions generally 

constitute the BLM’s final approval 

allowing on-the-ground actions to 

proceed. Where implementation 

decisions are made as part of the land 

use planning process, they are still 

subject to the appeals process or other 

administrative review as prescribed by 

specific resource program regulations 

once the BLM resolves the protests to 

land use planning decisions and issues 

an Approved RMP Amendment and DR. 

The BLM’s Approved RMP Amendment 

and DR will therefore identify the 

implementation decisions made in the 

plan that may be appealed to the Office 

of Hearing and Appeals.

Rules and Regulations to amend its 

certificate issued on May 18, 2006, as 

amended on January 11, 2007 and 

October 23, 2007 authorizing Transco’s 

Leidy to Long Island Expansion Project. 

The application is on file with the 

Commission and open for public 

inspection. This filing is available for 

review at the Commission in the Public 

Reference Room or may be viewed on 

the Commission’s Web site at http:// 

www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.

Transco requests authorization to 

allow either of the existing compressor 

units at Compressor Station 207, each of 

which is currently certificated at 5,000 

horsepower, to be operated up to 7,000 

horsepower. This increase will not 

change the total horsepower used at 

Station 207 of 10,000 horsepower as 

certificated. The proposed operational 

change will not involve any 

construction activities or result in any 

incremental transportation capacity. No 

additional costs will be incurred. 

Any questions regarding the 

application are to be directed to Scott 

Turkington, Director, Rates and 

Regulatory, Transcontinental Gas Pipe 

Line Corporation, P.O. Box 1396, 

Houston, Texas 77251–1396; phone

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s regulations, 18 CFR 

157.9, within 90 days of this Notice, the 

Commission’s staff will either complete 

its environmental assessment (EA) 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’s staff issuance of the EA 

for this proposal. The filing of the EA 

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 reach a final 

decision on a request for Federal 

authorization within 90 days of the date 

of issuance of the Commission staff’s 

EA. 

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 

14 copies of filings made with the 

Commission and must mail 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 commenters will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commenters will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commenters 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests 

and interventions in lieu of paper using 

the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http://www.ferc.gov. 

Persons unable to file electronically 

should submit an original and 14 copies 

of the protest or intervention to the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 

20426. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) 

and the instructions on the 

Commission’s Web site under the ‘‘eFiling’’ link.
