DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket Nos. CP18–37–000;CP18–38–000] 

Notice of Availability of the 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Sierrita Gas Pipeline LLC Proposed 

Sierrita Compressor Expansion Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

Sierrita Compressor Expansion Project, 

proposed by Sierrita Gas Pipeline LLC 

(Sierrita) in the above-referenced 

dockets. Sierrita filed an application in 

Docket No. CP18–37–000 requesting a 

Certificate of Public Convenience and 

Necessity pursuant to section 7(c) of the 

Natural Gas Act to construct and operate 

certain natural gas pipeline facilities. 

Specifically, Sierrita requests 

authorization to construct a new 15,900 

horsepower natural gas compressor 

station on its existing Line No. 2177 

pipeline system in Pima County, 

Arizona. Additionally, in Docket No. 

CP18–38–000, Sierrita is requesting an 

amendment to its section 3 

authorization and its Presidential 

Permit. 

The EA assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

Sierrita Compressor Expansion Project 

in accordance with the requirements of 

the National Environmental Policy Act. 

The FERC 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 proposed Sierrita Compressor 

Expansion Project includes the 

following facilities: 

• One new 15,900 horsepower 

compressor station (Sierrita Compressor 

Station); 

• approximately 1,000 feet of suction 

and discharge piping and various 

station yard auxiliary facilities to 

connect the Sierrita Compressor Station 

with Sierrita’s existing Line No. 2177; 

• one new 10-inch Ultrasonic meter 

at the existing San Joaquin Meter 

Station on Line No. 2177; and 

• the relocation of the existing 

Mainline Valve 2 and an associated 

inspection tool launcher and receiver 

from milepost 1.2 to milepost 6.5 on 

Line No. 2177. 

The FERC staff mailed copies of the 

EA to federal, state, and local 

government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American tribes; 

potentially affected landowners and 

other interested individuals and groups; 

and newspapers and libraries in the 

project area. In addition, the EA is 

available for public viewing on the 

FERC’s website (www.ferc.gov) using the 

eLibrary link. 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. 

Any person wishing to comment on 

the EA may do so. Your comments 

should focus on the EA’s disclosure and 

discussion of potential environmental 

effects, reasonable alternatives, and 

measures to avoid or lessen 

environmental impacts. The more 

specific your comments, the more useful 

they will be. To ensure that the 

Commission has the opportunity to 

consider your comments prior to 

making its decision on this project, it is 

important that we receive your 

comments in Washington, DC on or 

before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 

13, 2018. 

For your convenience, there are three 

methods you can use to file your 

comments with the Commission. In all 

instances please reference the 

applicable project docket number 

(CP18–37 and/or CP18–38) with your 

submission. The Commission 

encourages electronic filing of 

comments and has staff available to 

assist you at (866) 208–3676 or 

FercOnlineSupport@ferc.gov. 

(1) You can file your comments 

electronically using the eComment 

feature located on the Commission’s 

website (www.ferc.gov) under the link to 

Documents and Filings. Using 

eComment is an easy method for 

submitting brief, text-only comments on 

a project; 

(2) You can also file your comments 

electronically using the eFiling feature 

located on the Commission’s website 

(www.ferc.gov) under the link to 

Documents and Filings. With eFiling, 

you can provide comments in a variety 

of formats by attaching them as a file 

with your submission. New eFiling 

users must first create an account by 

clicking on eRegister. You must select 

the type of filing you are making. A 

comment on a particular project is 

considered a ‘‘Comment on a Filing’’; or 

(3) You can file a paper copy of your 

comments by mailing them to the 

following address: Kimberly D. Bose, 

Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 

1A, Washington, DC 20426. 

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). Only 

intervenors have the right to seek 

rehearing or judicial review of the 

Commission’s decision. The 

Commission grants affected landowners 

and others with environmental concerns 

intervenor status upon showing good 

cause by stating that they have a clear 

and direct interest in this proceeding 

which no other party can adequately 

represent. Simply filing environmental 

comments will not give you intervenor 

status, but you do not need intervenor 

status to have your comments 

considered.
