filing comments.

pipeline. 

The environmental assessment 

assesses the potential environmental 

effects of the construction and operation 

of the Project in accordance with 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 environmental assessment has 

been placed in the public files of the 

FERC and is available for public 

viewing on the FERC’s Web site at 

www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link. A 

limited number of copies of the 

environmental assessment are available 

for distribution and public inspection 

at: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, Public Conference Room, 

888 First Street NE., Room 2A, 

Washington, DC 20426, (202) 502–8371. 

Copies of the environmental 

assessment have been mailed 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; 

libraries in the Project area; and parties 

to this proceeding. 

Any person wishing to comment on 

the environmental assessment may do 

so. Your comments should focus on the 

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 

your comments are properly recorded 

and considered prior to a Commission 

decision on the proposal, it is important 

that the FERC receives your comments 

in Washington, DC on or before March 

21, 2016. 

For your convenience, there are three 

methods you can use to submit your 

comments to the Commission. In all 

instances, please reference the Project 

docket number (CP15–504–000) with 

your submission. The Commission 

encourages electronic filing of 

comments and has dedicated eFiling 

expert staff available to assist you at 

(202) 502–8258 or efiling@ferc.gov. 

(1) You may file your comments 

electronically by using the eComment 

feature, which is located on the 

Commission’s Web site at www.ferc.gov 

under the link to Documents and 

Filings. An eComment is an easy 

method for interested persons to submit 

brief, text-only comments on a project; 

(2) You may file your comments 

electronically by using the eFiling 

feature, which is located on the 

Commission’s Web site at 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 will be asked to select 

the type of filing you are making. A 

comment on a particular project is 

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

(3) You may file a paper copy of your 

comments at the following address: 

Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street NE., Room 1A, Washington, 

DC 20426. 

Although your comments will be 

considered by the Commission, simply 

filing comments 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).1 Only intervenors have the 

right to seek rehearing of the 

Commission’s decision. 

Affected landowners and parties with 

environmental concerns may be granted 

intervenor status upon showing good 

cause by stating that they have a clear 

and direct interest in this proceeding 

which would not be adequately 

represented by any other parties. You do 

not need intervenor status to have your 

comments considered. 

Additional information about the 

Project is available from the 

Commission’s Office of External Affairs, 

at (866) 208–FERC, or on the FERC Web 

site (www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary 

link. Click on the eLibrary link, click on 

‘‘General Search,’’ and enter the docket 

number excluding the last three digits in 

the Docket Number field (i.e., CP15– 

504). Be sure you have selected an 

appropriate date range. For assistance, 

please contact FERC Online Support at 

FercOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll free 

at (866) 208–3676, or for TTY, contact 

(202) 502–8659. The eLibrary link also 

provides access to the texts of formal 

documents issued by the Commission, 

such as orders, notices, and 

rulemakings. 

In addition, the Commission offers a 

free service called eSubscription which 

allows you to keep track of all formal 

issuances and submittals in specific 

dockets. This can reduce the amount of 

time you spend researching proceedings 

by automatically providing you with 

notification of these filings, document 

summaries, and direct links to the 

documents. Go to http://www.ferc.gov/

Department of Health, to Hu Honua

operation of the Hu Honua Bioenergy 

Facility located in Pepe‘ekeo, Hawaii.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Consent Decree 

The proposed consent decree would 

resolve a lawsuit filed by PPHE seeking 

to compel the Administrator to take 

actions under CAA section 505(b)(2). 

Under the terms of the proposed 

consent decree, EPA would agree to sign 

its response granting or denying the 

petition filed by PPHE regarding the Hu 

Honua Bioenergy Facility located in 

Pepe‘ekeo, Hawaii, pursuant to section 

505(b)(2) of the CAA, on or before 

September 16, 2016. 

Under the terms of the proposed 

consent decree, EPA would 

expeditiously deliver notice of EPA’s 

response to the Office of the Federal 

Register for review and publication 

following signature of such response. In 

addition, the proposed consent decree 

outlines the procedure for the Plaintiffs 

to request costs of litigation, including 

attorney fees. 

For a period of thirty (30) days 

following the date of publication of this 

notice, the Agency will accept written 

comments relating to the proposed 

consent decree from persons who are 

not named as parties or intervenors to 

the litigation in question. EPA or the 

Department of Justice may withdraw or 

withhold consent to the proposed 

consent decree if the comments disclose 

facts or considerations that indicate that 

such consent is inappropriate, 

improper, inadequate, or inconsistent 

with the requirements of the Act. Unless 

EPA or the Department of Justice 

determines that consent to this consent 

decree should be withdrawn, the terms 

of the consent decree will be affirmed.
