Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP06–421–000] 

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 

Corporation; Notice of Availability of 

the Environmental Assessment for the 

Proposed Potomac Expansion Project 

January 16, 2007. 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission or 

FERC) has prepared the Environmental 

Assessment (EA) for the construction 

and operation of the Potomac Expansion 

Project as proposed by Transcontinental 

Gas Pipe Line Corporation (Transco) in 

the above-referenced docket. 

The EA was prepared to satisfy the 

requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act. The staff 

concludes that approval of the proposed 

Potomac Expansion Project, with 

appropriate mitigating measures as 

recommended, would not constitute a 

major federal action significantly 

affecting the quality of the human 

environment. The EA evaluates 

alternatives to the proposal, including 

the no-action alternative. 

The EA addresses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

proposed Potomac Expansion Project in 

Campbell, Pittsylvania, and Fairfax 

Counties, Virginia, including the 

construction of: 

• About 16.4 miles of 42-inchdiameter pipeline; 

• About 3.4 miles of 30-inch-diameter 

pipeline replacement with 42-inchdiameter pipeline; and 

• New and replacement aboveground 

facilities at existing aboveground 

facilities. 

The purpose of the Potomac 

Expansion Project is to: expand delivery 

capacity on Transco’s existing mainline 

pipeline system to deliver up to 165,000 

dekatherms per day of incremental 

primary firm transportation from 

Transco’s interconnects with East 

Tennessee Natural Gas and Pine Needle 

LNG to interconnects with the 

customers’ local distribution systems in 

northern Virginia, Washington, DC, and 

Baltimore, Maryland. 

The EA has been placed in the public 

files of the FERC. A limited number of 

copies of the EA are available for 

distribution and public inspection at: 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 

Public Reference Room, 888 First Street 

NE, Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, 

(202) 502–8371. 

In addition, copies of the EA have 

been mailed to Federal, State, and local 

government agencies; elected officials; 

Native American tribes; local libraries 

and newspapers; intervenors in the 

FERC’s proceeding; and affected 

landowners and individuals. 

Any person wishing to comment on 

the EA may do so. To ensure 

consideration prior to a Commission 

decision on the proposal, it is important 

that we receive your comments before 

the date specified below. Please 

carefully follow these instructions to 

ensure that your comments are received 

in time and properly recorded: 

• Send an original and two copies of 

your comments to: Secretary, Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street, NE, Room 1A, Washington, 

DC 20426. 

• Label one copy of the comments for 

the attention of the Gas Branch 1; 

• Reference Docket No. CP06–421–

000; and 

• Mail your comments so that they 

will be received in Washington, DC on 

or before February 16, 2007. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filing of any comments, 

interventions, or protests to this 

proceeding. See 18 CFR
