The DOS’ independent analysis of the 

issues will be presented in the EA. The 

EA will be placed in the public record 

and, depending on the comments 

received during the scoping process, 

may be published and distributed to the 

public. A comment period will be 

allotted if the EA is published for 

review. The DOS will consider all 

comments on the EA before it issues a 

Presidential Permit. To ensure your 

comments are considered, please 

carefully follow the instructions in the 

Public Participation section. 

With this notice, the DOS is asking 

agencies with jurisdiction and/or 

special expertise with respect to 

environmental issues to formally 

cooperate with DOS in the preparation 

of the EA. These agencies may choose 

to participate once they have evaluated 

the proposal relative to their 

responsibilities. Agencies that would 

like to request cooperating agency status 

should follow the instructions for filing 

comments provided under the Public 

Participation section of this notice. 

During this scoping period, the DOS 

also plans to use the scoping process to 

help identify historic preservation 

issues for consideration under Section 

106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act and its implementing 

regulations (Title 36 Code of Federal 

Regulations Part 800). 

Public Participation 

You are encouraged to become 

involved in this process and provide 

your specific comments or concerns 

about the proposed project. By 

becoming a commenter, your concerns 

will be considered by the DOS and 

addressed appropriately in the EA. Your 

comments should focus on the potential 

environmental impacts, reasonable 

alternatives (including alternative 

facility sites and alternative pipeline 

routes), and measures to avoid or lessen 

environmental impacts. Parties 

interested in being involved in Section 

106 consultation should also contact the 

DOS. The more specific your comments, 

the more useful they will be. To ensure 

that your comments are timely and 

properly recorded, please send your 

comments so they will be received on or 

before January 17, 2011. 

For your convenience, there are two 

methods that you can use to submit 

your comments to the DOS. In all
