BILLING CODE 6717–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP17–458–000] 

Midship Pipeline Company, LLC; 

Notice of Availability of the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Proposed Midcontinent Supply 

Header Interstate Pipeline Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared a final 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

for the Midcontinent Supply Header 

Interstate Pipeline Project, proposed by 

Midship Pipeline Company, LLC 

(Midship Pipeline) in the abovereferenced docket. Midship Pipeline 

requests authorization to construct and 

operate approximately 234.1 miles of 

new pipeline, three compressor stations, 

a booster station, and accompanying 

facilities in Oklahoma. The project 

would deliver an additional 1,440 

million standard cubic feet per day of 

year-round firm transportation capacity 

from Kingfisher County, Oklahoma to 

existing natural gas pipelines near 

Bennington, Oklahoma for transport to 

growing Gulf Coast and Southeast 

Markets. 

The final EIS assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

project in accordance with the 

requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The 

FERC staff concludes that approval of 

the project would result in some adverse 

environmental impacts; however, these 

impacts would be reduced to less-thansignificant levels with the 

implementation of Midship Pipeline’s 

proposed mitigation and the additional 

measures recommended in the final EIS. 

The U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency participated as a cooperating 

agency in the preparation of the EIS. 

Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction 

by law or special expertise with respect 

to resources potentially affected by the 

proposal and participate in the NEPA 

analysis. The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency provided input to the 

conclusions and recommendations 

presented in the final EIS. 

The final EIS addresses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

following proposed project facilities in 

Oklahoma: 

• 199.7 miles of new 36-inchdiameter natural gas pipeline in 

Kingfisher, Canadian, Grady, Garvin, 

Stephens, Carter, Johnston, and Bryan 

Counties; 

• 20.5 miles of new 30-inch-diameter 

pipeline lateral in Kingfisher County; 

• 13.8 miles of new 16-inch-diameter 

pipeline lateral in Stephens, Carter, and 

Garvin Counties; 

• 0.1 mile of new 24-inch-diameter 

tie-in piping in Canadian County; 

• three new compressor stations and 

one new booster station in Canadian, 

Garvin, Bryan, and Stephens Counties; 

and 

• eight new receipt meters, two new 

receipt taps, four new delivery meters, 

and appurtenant facilities. 

The FERC staff mailed copies of the 

EIS 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. Paper copy versions of 

Volume I of the EIS were mailed to 

those specifically requesting them; all 

recipients received a CD version 

containing both Volumes I and II of the 

EIS. In addition, the EIS is available for 

public viewing on the FERC’s website 

(www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link. 

A limited number of copies 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.
