BILLING CODE 6717–01–P

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket Nos. CP00–51–000 and CP00–51–

001]

East Tennessee Natural Gas Company;

Notice of Intent To Prepare an

Environmental Assessment for the

Proposed Rocky Top Expansion

Project, and Request for Comments on

Environmental Issues

June 14, 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, testing, operation, and

abandonment of facilities proposed in

the East Tennessee Natural Gas

Company (East Tennessee) Rocky Top

Expansion Project in various counties of

Virginia and Tennessee.1 These

facilities would consist of about 15.1

miles of pipeline, about 0.7 mile of

pipeline replacements at seventeen road

crossings, three new meter stations and

a modification to an existing meter

station, mainline valves, uprating of

four compressor units and four meter

stations, hydrostatic testing of about

26.7 miles of pipeline to increase the

maximum allowable operating pressure

(MAOP), and the abandonment of about

0.7 mile of pipeline. The EA will be

used by the Commission in its decisionmaking process to determine whether

the project is in the public convenience

and necessity.

If you are a landowner on East

Tennessee’s proposed route and receive

this notice, you may be contacted by a

pipeline company representative about

the acquisition of an easement to

construct, operate, and maintain the

proposed facilities. The pipeline

company would seek to negotiate a

mutually acceptable agreement.

However, if the project is approved by

the Commission, that approval conveys

with it the right of eminent domain.

Therefore, if easement negotiations fail

to produce an agreement, the pipeline

company could initiate condemnation

proceedings in accordance with state

law.

A fact sheet prepared by the FERC

entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas

Facility On My Land? What Do I Need

To Know?’’ was attached to the project

notice East Tennessee provided to

landowners along and adjacent to those

proposed route. This fact sheet

addresses a number of typically asked

questions, including the use of eminent

domain and how to participate in the

Commission’s proceedings. It is

available for viewing on the FERC

Internet website (www.ferc.fed.us).

This Notice of Intent (NOI) is being

sent to landowners of property crossed

by and adjacent to East Tennessee’s

amended facility locations and to the

Commission’s list of parties to the

proceeding.

Summary of the Proposed Project

East Tennessee is proposing the

Rocky Top Expansion Project to satisfy

the growing demand for natural gas in

the western Virginia and eastern

Tennessee regions. The project would

provide new firm service to meet

increased market demand of specific

customers as well as provide systemwide benefits. East Tennessee is

requesting authorization to increase its

pipeline capacity by a total of 35,068

dekatherms (Dth) per day through the

installation of additional pipeline,

hydrostatic testing to increase MAOP,

pipeline replacement, compressor

horsepower and meter station uprates,

and installation of additional metering

facilities.

East Tennessee proposes to construct

the following new facilities on its 3300

and 3100 Lines:
