DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. PF22–3–000, Docket No. PF22– 

4–000] 

Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC; 

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 

Company, LLC Supplemental Notice of 

Scoping Period Requesting Comments 

on Environmental Issues for the 

Planned Virginia Reliability Project and 

Commonwealth Energy Connector 

Project, and Notice of Public Scoping 

Session 

On February 22, 2022 the staff of the 

Office of Energy Projects issued the 

Notice of Scoping Period Requesting 

Comments on Environmental Issues for 

the Planned Virginia Reliability Project 

and Commonwealth Energy Connector 

Project, and Notice of Public Scoping 

Session. It has come to our attention that 

addresses on our intended mailing list 

may not have received the correct 

notice. As such, we are issuing a 

Supplemental Notice of Scoping Period. 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) will prepare an 

environmental document that will 

discuss the environmental impacts of 

the Virginia Reliability Project and 

Commonwealth Energy Connector 

Project involving construction and 

operation of facilities by Columbia Gas 

Transmission, LLC (Columbia) and 

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 

Company, LLC (Transco), respectively. 

Columbia’s project would be located in 

Greensville, Prince George, Sussex, 

Surry, Southampton, and Isle of Wight 

Counties, Virginia and in the cities of 

Suffolk and Chesapeake, Virginia. 

Transco’s project would be located in 

Mecklenburg, Brunswick, and 

Greensville Counties, Virginia. Because 

of planned operational connections 

between the Virginia Reliability Project 

and the Commonwealth Energy 

Connector Project, the Commission will 

prepare a single environmental 

document as part of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

review process. The Commission will 

use this environmental document in its 

decision-making process to determine 

whether the projects are in the public 

convenience and necessity. 

This notice announces the extension 

of the scoping process the Commission 

will use to gather input from the public 

and interested agencies regarding the 

projects. As part of the NEPA review 

process, the Commission takes into 

account concerns the public may have 

about proposals and the environmental 

impacts that could result from its action 

whenever it considers the issuance of a 

Certificate of Public Convenience and 

Necessity. This gathering of public 

input is referred to as ‘‘scoping.’’ The 

main goal of the scoping process is to 

focus the analysis in the environmental 

document on the important 

environmental issues. Additional 

information about the Commission’s 

NEPA process is described below in the 

NEPA Process and Environmental 

Document section of this notice. 

By this notice, the Commission 

requests public comments on the scope 

of issues to address in the 

environmental document. To ensure 

that your comments are timely and 

properly recorded, please submit your 

comments so that the Commission 

receives them in Washington, DC on or 

before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 

6, 2022. Comments may be submitted in 

written or oral form. Further details on 

how to submit comments are provided 

in the Public Participation section of 

this notice. 

Your comments should focus on the 

potential environmental effects, 

reasonable alternatives, and measures to 

avoid or lessen environmental impacts. 

Your input will help the Commission 

staff determine what issues they need to 

evaluate in the environmental 

document. Commission staff will 

consider all written or oral comments 

during the preparation of the 

environmental document. 

If you submitted comments on either 

of these projects to the Commission 

before the opening of the dockets on 

December 1, 2021, you will need to file 

those comments in Docket Nos. PF22– 

3–000 (Virginia Reliability Project) or 

PF22–4–000 (Commonwealth Energy 

Connector Project) to ensure they are 

considered. 

This notice is being sent to the 

Commission’s current environmental 

mailing list for these projects. State and 

local government representatives should 

notify their constituents of these 

planned projects and encourage them to 

comment on their areas of concern. 

If you are a landowner receiving this 

notice, a representative from Columbia 

or Transco may contact you about the 

acquisition of an easement to construct, 

operate, and maintain the planned 

facilities. The company would seek to 

negotiate a mutually acceptable 

easement agreement. You are not 

required to enter into an agreement. 

However, if the Commission approves 

the project, the Natural Gas Act conveys 

the right of eminent domain to the 

company. Therefore, if you and the 

company do not reach an easement 

agreement, the pipeline company could
