BILLING CODE 6717–01–P

[Docket No. CP96–153–000]

Southern Natural Gas Company;

Notice of Availability of the Draft

Environmental Impact Statement for

the Proposed North Alabama Pipeline

Project

March 7, 1997.

The staff of the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission (FERC or

Commission) has prepared a Draft

Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS)

on the natural gas pipeline facilities

proposed by Southern Natural Gas

Company (Southern) in the abovereferenced docket.

The DEIS was prepared to satisfy the

requirements of the National

Environmental Policy Act. The staff

concludes that approval of the proposed

project with the appropriate mitigating

measures as recommended, would have

limited adverse environmental impact.

The DEIS also evaluates alternatives to

the proposal, including a system

alternative called the AlabamaTennessee System Alternative that is

environmentally preferred; major route

alternatives; and route variations, and

requests comments on them.

The DEIS addresses the potential

environmental effects of the

construction and operation of the

following facilities:

• about 118.0 miles of new natural

gas pipeline (109.5 miles of 16-inchdiameter pipeline and 8.5 miles of

12.75-inch-diameter pipeline);

• about 6,300 horsepower of new

compression at two existing compressor

stations; and

• two new meter stations, and related

facilities.

Facilities required by two local

distribution companies are also

examined.

The purpose of the proposed facilities

would be to transport about 74,850

thousand cubic feet per day of natural

gas to five customers in Alabama and

Georgia.

Specific Comment Request

The staff has identified and evaluated

in detail one system alternative (the

Alabama-Tennessee System

Alternative), one major route alternative

(the Tarrant Alternative), the Triana

Variation, and 96 other route variations

to the proposed facilities. Of the 97

route variations, the staff has

recommended the use of 78 and has not

recommended the use of 19 others at

this time. Area residents, local or state

governments, intervenors, Southern,

and other interested parties are asked to

provide specific comments on whether

these alternatives and variations are

reasonable and practicable and

environmentally preferable to the

proposed facilities. Comments should

also address any effect on project timing

and related cost/benefits.

Comment Procedures and Public

Meeting

Any person wishing to comment on

the DEIS may do so. Written comments

must be filed on or before April 28,

1997, must reference Docket No. CP96–

153–000, and be addressed to: Office of

the Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,

Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426.

We will announce in a future notice,

the location and time of at least one

public meeting to receive comments on

the DEIS.

After these comments are reviewed,

any significant new issues are

investigated, and modifications are

made to the DEIS, a Final

Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS)

will be published and distributed by the

staff. The FEIS will contain the staff’s

responses to timely comments filed on

the DEIS.

Comments will be considered by the

Commission but 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).

Anyone may intervene in this

proceeding based on this DEIS. You

must file your request to intervene as

specified above. You do not need

intervenor status to have your

comments considered.
