n. Scoping Process: Pursuant to the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA), Commission staff will prepare 

either an environmental assessment 

(EA) or an environmental impact 

statement (EIS) (collectively referred to 

as the ‘‘NEPA document’’) that describes 

and evaluates the probable effects, 

including an assessment of the sitespecific and cumulative effects, if any, 

of the proposed action and alternatives. 

The Commission’s scoping process will 

help determine the required level of 

analysis and satisfy the NEPA scoping 

requirements, irrespective of whether 

the Commission issues an EA or an EIS. 

At this time, we do not anticipate 

holding on-site scoping meetings. 

Instead, we are soliciting written 

comments and suggestions on the 

preliminary list of issues and 

alternatives to be addressed in the 

NEPA document, as described in 

scoping document 1 (SD1), issued 

November 13, 2023. 

Copies of the SD1 outlining the 

proposed project and subject areas to be 

addressed in the NEPA document were 

distributed to the parties on the 

Commission’s mailing list and the 

applicant’s distribution list. Copies of 

SD1 may be viewed on the web at 

http://www.ferc.gov using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link (see item m above).
