Notice Extending Time To Comment on

Draft Environmental Assessment

January 12, 2000.

The Federal Energy Regulatory

Regulatory Commission’s

(Commission’s) regulations, 18 CFR Part

380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897). In the

DEA, the Commission’s staff has

analyzed the potential environmental

impacts of the existing project and has

concluded that approval of the project,

with appropriate environmental

protection measures, would not

constitute a major federal actions

significantly affecting the quality of the

human environment.

The Commission requested comments

on the DEA within 45 days, or by

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP00–55–000]

Distrigas of Massachusetts

Corporation; Notice of Intent To

Prepare an Environmental Assessment

for the Proposed Distrigas LNG Plant

Modifications Project and Request for

Comments on Environmental Issues

January 12, 2000.

The staff of the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission (FERC or

Commission) will prepare an

environmental assessment (EA) that will

discuss the environmental impacts of

the construction and operation of the

facilities proposed at Distrigas of

Massachusetts Corporation’s (DOMAC)

liquefied natural gas terminal (LNG

Plant) in Everett, Massachusetts.1 This

EA will be used by the Commission in

its decision-making process to

determine whether the project is in the

public convenience and necessity.

Summary of the Proposed Project

The proposed project would allow

DOMAC to establish a mutually

beneficial thermal energy exchange

arrangement between its LNG Plant and

the Island End Cogeneration Project

(Power Project), a nonjurisdictional

electric generating Facilities Siting

Board (Siting Board) on October 8, 1998.

DOMAC proposes to supply 66,000

MMBtu per day of regasified liquefied

natural gas (LNG) to the Power Plant

Project and to modify its existing

vaporization facilities to use low-grade

waste heat from the Power Project.

Specifically, DOMAC requests

Commission authorization to:

• Install a closed-loop hot and cold

water thermal energy transfer system

consisting of piping, a warm water

storage tank, water-to-water heat

exchangers, and five water pumps;

• Replace existing low, medium, and

high pressure vaporizers with

equivalent capacity shell-and-tube hot

water heat exchangers compatible with

the thermal energy transfer system;

• Perform minor LNG Plant

modifications necessary to meter and

connect the Power Project’s fuel supply

line to the LNG Plant; and

• Install a new utility water supply

system to serve both the LNG Plant and

the Power Project.

The general location of DOMAC’s

proposed project facilities is shown on

the map attached as appendix 1.2

Construction of the proposed facilities

would occur completely on land owned

by DOMAC or on the adjacent Power

Project site.

The EA Process

The National Environmental Policy

Act (NEPA) requires the Commission to

take into account the environmental

impacts that could result from an action

whenever it considers the issuance of a

Certificate of Public Convenience and

Necessity. NEPA also requires us to

discover and address concerns the

public may have about proposals. We

call this ‘‘scoping’’. The main goal of the

scoping process is to focus the analysis

in the EA on the important

environmental issues. By this Notice of

Intent, the Commission requests public
