DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP15–503–000] 

Comanche Trail Pipeline, LLC; Notice 

of Availability of the Environmental 

Assessment for the Proposed San 

Elizario Crossing Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

San Elizario Crossing Project (Project), 

proposed by Comanche Trail Pipeline, 

LLC (Comanche Trail) in the abovereferenced docket. Comanche Trail 

requests authorization to construct new 

border crossing pipeline facilities to 

export up to 1.1 billion cubic feet per 

day of natural gas at the International 

Boundary between the United States 

and Mexico. The pipeline would be 

installed via horizontal directional drill 

beneath the Rio Grande River. 

The EA assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

Project in accordance with the 

requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (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 proposed Project includes the 

installation of approximately 1,086 feet 

of 42-inch-diameter pipeline. The new 

pipeline would transport gas to a new 

delivery interconnect with pipeline 

facilities owned by an affiliate of 

Comanche Trail at the United StatesMexico border for expanding electric 

generation and industrial market needs 

in Mexico. 

The FERC staff mailed copies of the 

EA 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. In 

addition, the EA is available for public 

viewing on the FERC’s Web site 

(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.

the EA may do so. Your comments

Commission has the opportunity to 

consider your comments prior to
