n. Scoping Process: The Commission 

intends to prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) on the project in 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act. The EIS will 

consider both site-specific and 

cumulative environmental impacts and 

reasonable alternatives to the proposed 

action. 

Scoping Meetings 

FERC staff has previously noticed a 

series of scoping meetings, one agency 

scoping meeting and three public 

meetings. The agency scoping meeting, 

Wednesday March 28, 2007, in Rock 

Hill NC, will focus on resource agency 

and non-governmental organization 

(NGO) concerns. The public scoping 

meetings on March 26, 27, 28, and 29, 

2007 will provide a means for public 

input. All interested individuals, 

organizations, and agencies are invited 

to attend one or more of the meetings, 

and to assist the staff in identifying the 

scope of the environmental issues that 

should be analyzed in the EIS. 

Copies of the SD1 outlining the 

subject areas to be addressed in the EIS 

were distributed to the parties on the 

Commission’s mailing list. Copies of the 

SD1 will be available at the scoping 

meeting or may be viewed on the Web 

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

‘‘eLibrary’’ link.
