DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP09–444–000] 

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; 

Notice of Availability of the 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Proposed 300 Line Project 

February 25, 2010. 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission or 

FERC) has prepared an environmental 

assessment (EA) for the 300 Line Project 

proposed by Tennessee Gas Pipeline 

Company (TGP) in the above referenced 

docket. TGP requests authorization to 

expand its natural gas pipeline system 

in Pennsylvania and New Jersey in 

order to increase the natural gas 

delivery capacity to the northeast region 

of the United States by approximately 

350,000 dekatherms per day and 

improve the reliability of it’s existing 

300 Line system. 

The EA assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 300 

Line Project in accordance with 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 U.S. Bureau of Land 

Management, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, and the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers participated as cooperating 

agencies in the preparation of this EA. 

Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction 

by law or special expertise with respect 

to resources potentially affected by 

TGP’s proposal and participate in the 

NEPA analysis. These cooperating 

agencies will adopt and use the EA to 

consider the issuance of right-of-way 

grants on federally administered lands. 

The proposed 300 Line Project 

includes the following facilities: 

• Installation of approximately 127.4 

miles of new 30-inch-diameter pipeline 

loop 1 in seven separate segments in 

Potter, Tioga, Bradford, Susquehanna, 

Wayne, and Pike Counties, 

Pennsylvania; and Sussex and Passaic 

Counties, New Jersey; 

• Construction of new compressor 

stations in Venango and McKean 

Counties, Pennsylvania; 

• Modifications to seven existing 

compressor stations in Potter, Tioga, 

Bradford, Susquehanna, and Pike 

Counties, Pennsylvania, and Sussex 

County, New Jersey; 

• Installation of associated 

appurtenant aboveground facilities 

including mainline valves and pig 2

launchers/receivers; and 

• Contractor/pipe yards and access 

roads. 

The EA 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 Regulatory Energy Commission, 

Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, 

NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, 

(202) 502–8371. 

Copies of the EA have been mailed to 

Federal, State, and local government 

representatives and agencies; elected 

officials; environmental and public 

interest groups; Native American tribes; 

local libraries and newspapers in the 

project area; intervenors to the FERC’s 

proceeding; and affected landowners, 

potentially affected landowners, and 

other interested individuals and groups. 

Any person wishing to comment on 

the EA 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. The Notice of Schedule for

1Enbridge Energy, Limited Partnership, 107 FERC 

¶ 61,336 (2004). 

Environmental Review issued on 

December 8, 2009, indicated that the EA 

would be issued on February 19, 2010 

and the 90-day Federal authorization 

decision deadline was May 20, 2010. 

Due to the unprecedented weather 

circumstances and subsequent closing 

of Federal government offices in 

Washington, DC, during the week of 

February 8, 2010, issuance of the EA 

was delayed from February 19, 2010, 

until February 25, 2010. Therefore, the 

90-day Federal authorization decision 

deadline is extended until May 26, 

2010. To ensure that your comments are 

properly recorded and considered prior 

to a Commission decision on the 

proposal, it is important that FERC 

receives your comments in Washington, 

DC on or before March 29, 2010. 

For your convenience, there are three 

methods which you can use to submit 

your comments to the Commission. In 

all instances please reference the project 

docket number (CP09–444–000) 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) You may file your comments 

electronically by using the Quick 

Comment feature, which is located on 

the Commission’s Web site at http:// 

www.ferc.gov under the link to 

Documents and Filings. A Quick 

Comment is an easy method for 

interested persons to submit 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. eFiling involves 

preparing your submission in the same 

manner as you would if filing on paper, 

and then saving the file on your 

computer’s hard drive. You will attach 

that file as your submission. New 

eFiling users must first create an 

account by clicking on ‘‘Sign up’’ or 

‘‘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).3 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 

at (866) 208–FERC or on the FERC Web 

site (http://www.ferc.gov) using the 

eLibrary link. Click on the eLibrary link, 

then on ‘‘General Search’’ and enter the 

docket number excluding the last three 

digits in the Docket Number field (i.e.,

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 

notifications of these filings, document 

summaries and direct links to the 

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