Facilities). Prior to the abandonment 

and sale of the Abandoned Line, 

Tennessee will also undertake activities 

at a series of worksites along the length 

of the Abandoned Line to disconnect it 

from the remaining Tennessee system. 

The estimated cost for the abandonment 

and replacement is approximately $412 

million. When UMTP ultimately 

acquires the abandoned line under the 

terms of the Purchase and Sale 

Agreement, UMTP will reimburse 

Tennessee for all of the costs associated 

with the abandonment and replacement 

activities, and UMTP will provide for 

the reimbursement of fuel costs for a 

period of 10 years. 

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 

within 90 days of this Notice the 

Commission staff will either: complete 

its environmental assessment (EA) and 

place it into the Commission’s public 

record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or 

issue a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review. If a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review is 

issued, it will indicate, among other 

milestones, the anticipated date for the 

Commission staff’s issuance of the final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

or EA for this proposal. The filing of the 

EA in the Commission’s public record 

for this proceeding or the issuance of a 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review will serve to notify federal and 

state agencies of the timing for the 

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to complete all 

federal authorizations within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s FEIS or EA. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

seven copies of filings made in the 

proceeding with the Commission and 

must mail a copy to the applicant and 

to every other party. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commentors will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commentors will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commentors 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests 

and interventions in lieu of paper using 

the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http://

www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file 

electronically should submit an original 

and seven copies of the protest or 

intervention to the Federal Energy 

regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 

NE., Washington, DC 20426.

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP14–539–000] 

Ozark Gas Transmission, LLC; Notice 

of Availability of the Environmental 

Assessment for the Proposed Ozark 

Abandonment Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

Ozark Abandonment Project proposed 

by Ozark Gas Transmission, LLC (Ozark) 

in the above-referenced docket. Ozark 

requests authorization to abandon inplace approximately 159 miles of 

existing 10- to 20-inch-diameter 

mainline natural gas pipeline and 

auxiliary and associated facilities 

located between Sebastian and White 

Counties, Arkansas. Ozark would also 

abandon by removal 29 minor 

aboveground facilities at 27 sites. 

The EA assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

abandonment activities associated with 

the Ozark Abandonment Project in 

accordance with the requirements of the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA). 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 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; 

newspapers and libraries in the project 

area; and parties to this proceeding. In 

addition, the EA is available for public 

viewing on the FERC’s Web site 

(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 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 March 30, 2015. 

For your convenience, there are three 

methods you can use to file your 

comments to the Commission. In all 

instances, please reference the project 

docket number (CP14–539–000) with 

your submission. The Commission 

encourages electronic filing of 

comments and has expert staff available 

to assist you at (202) 502–8258 or 

efiling@ferc.gov. 

(1) You can file your comments 

electronically using the eComment 

feature on the Commission’s Web site 

(www.ferc.gov) under the link to 

Documents and Filings. This is an easy

project, please select ‘‘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).1 Only 

intervenors have the right to seek 

rehearing 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.
