DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP99–94–003]

Florida Gas Transmission Company;

Notice of Intent to Prepare an

Environmental Assessment for the

Proposed Modified Tampa South

Lateral Extension and Request for

Comments on Environmental Issues

December 4, 2000.

The staff of the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission (FERC or

Commission) will prepare an

environmental assessment (EA) that will

discuss the environmental impacts of

the proposed modified route of the

Tampa South Lateral Extension (TSLE)

involving construction and operation of

facilities by Florida Gas Transmission

Company (FGT) in Hillsborough

County, Florida.1 Specifically FGT

proposes to modify its certificate in

Docket No. CP99–94–000. The proposed

facilities would consist of about 6.2

miles of 6– and 8-inch-diameter

pipeline. This EA will be used by the

Commission in its decision-making

process to determine whether the

proposed modified route for TSLE is

preferable to the certificated route.

If you are a landowner receiving this

notice, you may be contacted by a

pipeline company representative about

the acquisition of an easement to

construct, operate and maintain the

proposed facilities. The pipeline

company would seek to negotiate a

mutually acceptable agreement.

However, if the project is approved by

the Commission, that approval conveys

with it the right of eminent domain.

Therefore, if easement negotiations fail

to produce an agreement, the pipeline

company could initiate condemnation

proceedings in accordance with state

law.
