mitigation and the additional measures 

we recommend in the EIS. 

The U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA), U.S. Department of 

Transportation, U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, New York City Mayor’s 

Office, and New York City Department 

of Environmental Protection 

participated as cooperating agencies 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. Although the cooperating 

agencies provided input to the 

conclusions and recommendations 

presented in the EIS, the agencies will 

present their own conclusions and 

recommendations in their respective 

Records of Decision for the project. 

The final EIS addresses the potential 

environmental effects of the following 

project facilities: 

• Construction and operation of 

approximately 15.2 miles of new 30- 

inch-diameter pipeline and 4.8 miles of 

42-inch-diameter pipeline; 

• Abandonment of 8.95 miles of 

existing 12-, 20-, and 24-inch-diameter 

pipeline; 

• Installation of seven new metering 

and regulating (M&R) stations; 

• Modifications to four existing 

compressor stations and one existing 

M&R station; and 

• Modifications and installations of 

associated valves and piping. 

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; local 

newspapers and libraries in the Project 

area; intervenors to the FERC’s 

proceeding; and potentially affected 

landowners and other interested 

individuals and groups. Paper copy 

versions of the EIS were mailed to those 

specifically requesting them; all others 

received a CD version. In addition, the 

EIS is available for public viewing on 

the FERC’s Web site (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. 

In accordance with the Council on 

Environmental Quality’s (CEQ) 

regulations implementing NEPA, no 

agency decision on a proposed action 

may be made until 30 days after the EPA 

publishes a notice of availability of the 

final EIS in the Federal Register. 

However, the CEQ regulations provide 

an exception to this rule when an 

agency decision is subject to a formal 

internal appeal process that allows other 

agencies or the public to make their 

views known. In such cases, the agency 

decision may be made at the same time 

the notice of the final EIS is published, 

allowing both periods to run 

concurrently. The Commission decision 

for this proposed action is subject to a 

30-day rehearing period.
