SWEIS Process and Invitation To 

Comment: The SWEIS scoping process 

provides an opportunity for the public 

to assist the DOE/NNSA in determining 

issues to be analyzed in the document. 

Four public scoping meetings will be 

held as noted under DATES in this 

Notice. The purpose of scoping 

meetings is to provide attendees an 

opportunity to present comments, ask 

questions, and discuss concerns 

regarding the SWEIS with DOE/NNSA 

officials. Comments and 

recommendations can also be submitted 

to Jeanette Norte as noted in this Notice 

under ADDRESSES. The SWEIS scoping 

meetings will use a format to facilitate 

dialogue between DOE/NNSA and the 

public and will provide individuals the 

opportunity to give written or oral 

statements. DOE/NNSA welcomes 

specific comments or suggestions on the 

SWEIS process. Copies of written 

comments and transcripts of oral 

comments provided to DOE/NNSA 

during the scoping period will be 

available at the DOE Public Reading 

Room at Government Information/ 

Zimmerman Library MSC05 3020, 1 

University of New Mexico, 

Albuquerque, NM 87131–0001, Tel: 

505–277–5441 Fax: 505–277–6019 Email: govref@unm.edu; Reading Room 

Web site: http://elibrary.unm.edu/doe; 

and on the Internet at http:// 

www.doeal.gov/sso/eshqa.aspx. After 

the close of the public scoping period, 

DOE/NNSA will begin developing the 

draft SWEIS. DOE/NNSA expects to 

issue the draft SWEIS for public review 

and comment in 2012 for at least 60 

days following publication of the 

Environmental Protection Agency’s 

Notice of Availability in the Federal 

Register. The Notice of Availability, 

along with notices placed in local 

newspapers, will provide dates and 

locations for public hearings on the 

draft SWEIS and the deadline for 

comments on the draft document. 

Persons who submit comments with a 

mailing address during the scoping 

process will receive a copy of the draft 

SWEIS. Other persons who would like 

to receive a copy of the document for 

review when it is issued should notify 

Jeanette Norte at one of the addresses 

provided previously. DOE/NNSA will 

include comments received on the draft 

SWEIS in the final SWEIS.

Any questions regarding this 

application should be directed to Rene

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 

within 90 days of this Notice the 

Commission staff will either: complete 

its environmental assessment (EA) and 

place it into the Commission’s public 

record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or 

issue a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review. If a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review is 

issued, it will indicate, among other 

milestones, the anticipated date for the 

Commission staff’s issuance of the final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

or EA for this proposal. The filing of the 

EA in the Commission’s public record 

for this proceeding or the issuance of a 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review will serve to notify federal and 

state agencies of the timing for the 

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to complete all 

Federal authorizations within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s FEIS or EA. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below, file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

7 copies of filings made with the 

Commission and must mail a copy to 

the applicant and to every other party in 

the proceeding. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commentors will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commentors will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commentors 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests 

and interventions in lieu of paper using 

the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http:// 

www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file 

electronically should submit an original 

and 14 copies of the protest or 

intervention to the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First 

Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. 

This filing is accessible on-line at 

http://www.ferc.gov, using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link and is available for 

review in the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room in Washington, DC. 

There is an ‘‘eSubscription’’ link on the 

Web site that enables subscribers to 

receive e-mail notification when a 

document is added to a subscribed 

docket(s). For assistance with any FERC 

Online service, please e-mail 

FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov, or call 

(866) 208–3676 (toll free). For TTY, call 

(202) 502–8659.
