DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP97–92–001]

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line

Corporation; Notice of Availability of

the Environmental Assessment for the

Proposed Mobile Bay Extension and

Expansion Project

November 28, 1997.

The staff of the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission (FERC or

Commission) has prepared an

environmental assessment (EA) on the

natural gas pipeline facilities proposed

by Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line

Corporation (Transco) in the abovereferenced docket.

The EA was prepared to satisfy the

requirements of the National

Environmental Policy Act. The staff

concludes that approval of the proposed

project, with appropriate mitigating

measures, would not constitute a major

Federal action significantly affecting the

quality of the human environment.

The EA assesses the potential

environmental effects of the

construction and operation of the

proposed gas pipeline facilities

including a total of 75.66 miles of

pipeline and 30,000 horsepower (hp) of

compression:

• 19.08 miles of 30-inch-diameter

pipeline from existing compressor

station 82 in Mobile County, Alabama to

a new offshore connection platform in

Mobile Block 822 (this segment involves

approximately 4.00 miles of onshore

pipeline);

• 56.58 miles of 24-inch-diameter

pipeline from the new offshore

connection platform in Mobile Block

822 to a new platform in Main Pass

Viosca Knoll Block 261;

• 15,000 hp of additional

compression at compressor station 82;

and

• 15,000 hp of compression at a new

compressor station 83 in Mobile County,

Alabama.

The purpose of the proposed facilities

would be to provide about 350,000

thousand cubic feet per day (Mcfd) of

gas on the offshore facilities and

264,000 Mcfd on the onshore portion.

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 and Files Maintenance

Branch, 888 First Street, N.E., Room 2A,

Washington, DC 20426, (202) 208–1371.

Copies of the EA have been mailed to

Federal, state and local agencies, public

interest groups, interested individuals,

newspapers, and parties to this

proceeding.

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 two copies of your comments

to: Lois Cashell, Secretary, Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

First St., N.E., Room 1A, Washington,

DC 20426;

• Label one copy of the comments for

the attention of the Environmental

Review and Compliance Branch, PR–

11.2;

• Reference Docket No. CP97–92–

001; and

• Mail your comments so that they

will be received in Washington, DC on

or before December 29, 1997.

Comments will be considered by the

Commission but will not serve to make

the commentor a party to the

proceeding. Any person seeking to

become a party to the proceeding must

file a motion to intervene pursuant to

Rule 214 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedures (18 CFR

385.214).
