o. Although our current intent is to 

prepare an environmental assessment 

(EA), there is the possibility that an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

will be required. Nevertheless, the 

below scoping meetings will satisfy the 

NEPA scoping requirements, 

irrespective of whether an EA or EIS is 

issued by the Commission. 

Scoping Meetings 

Commission staff will hold two 

scoping meetings in the vicinity of the 

project at the time and place noted 

below. The daytime meeting will focus 

on resource agency, Indian tribes, and 

non-governmental organization 

concerns, while the evening meeting is 

primarily for receiving input from the 

public. We invite all interested 

individuals, organizations, and agencies 

to attend one or both of the meetings, 

and to assist staff in identifying 

particular study needs, as well as the 

scope of environmental issues to be 

addressed in the environmental 

document. The times and locations of 

these meetings are as follows: 

Daytime Scoping Meeting 

Date: Wednesday, May 20, 2009 

Time: 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. (MST) 

Location: U.S. Forest Service Regional 

Office (Region 2), 740 Simms Street, 

Golden, CO 80401. 

Phone: (303) 275–5350 

Evening Scoping Meeting 

Date: Tuesday, May 19, 2009 

Time: 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. (MST) 

Location: Georgetown Community 

Center, 613 6th Street, Georgetown, CO 

80444. 

Phone: (303) 569–2274 

Scoping Document 1 (SD1), which 

outlines the subject areas to be 

addressed in the environmental 

document, was mailed to the 

individuals and entities on the 

Commission’s mailing list. Copies of 

SD1 will be available at the scoping 

meetings, or may be viewed on the Web 

at http://www.ferc.gov, using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Follow the directions 

for accessing information in paragraph 

m. Based on all oral and written 

comments, a Scoping Document 2 (SD2) 

may be issued. SD2 may include a 

revised process plan and schedule, as 

well as a list of issues, identified 

through the scoping process. 

Site Visit 

Commission staff held an early site 

visit for this project on June 18, 2008. 

Therefore, there will be no site visit 

held in association with the above 

scoping meetings. 

Meeting Objectives 

At the scoping meetings, staff will: (1) 

Initiate scoping of the issues; (2) review 

and discuss existing conditions and 

resource management objectives; (3) 

review and discuss existing information 

and identify preliminary information 

and study needs; (4) review and discuss 

the process plan and schedule for prefiling activity that incorporates the time 

frames provided for in Part 5 of the 

Commission’s regulations and, to the 

extent possible, maximizes coordination 

of federal, state, and tribal permitting 

and certification processes; and (5) 

discuss the appropriateness of any 

federal or state agency or Indian tribe 

acting as a cooperating agency for 

development of an environmental 

document. 

Meeting participants should come 

prepared to discuss their issues and/or 

concerns. Please review the PAD in 

preparation for the scoping meetings. 

Directions on how to obtain a copy of 

the PAD and SD1 are included in item 

m of this document. 

Meeting Procedures 

The meetings will be recorded by a 

stenographer and will become part of 

the formal record of the Commission 

proceeding on the project.

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 

14 copies of filings made with the 

Commission and must mail a copy to 

the applicant and to every other party in 

the proceeding. 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 14 copies of the protest or 

intervention to the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First 

Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. 

This filing is accessible on-line at 

http://www.ferc.gov, using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link and is available for 

review in the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room in Washington, DC. 

There is an ‘‘eSubscription’’ link on the 

Web site that enables subscribers to 

receive email notification when a 

document is added to a subscribed 

docket(s). For assistance with any FERC 

Online service, please e-mail

BILLING CODE 6717–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP09–17–000] 

Florida Gas Transmission Company, 

LLC; Notice of Availability of the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Proposed Phase VIII Expansion 

Project 

April 17, 2009. 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission or 

FERC) has prepared a draft 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

on the natural gas pipeline facilities 

proposed by Florida Gas Transmission 

Company, LLC (FGT) in the abovereferenced docket. FGT’s Phase VIII 

Expansion Project (Project) would be 

located in Alabama and Florida. 

The draft EIS was prepared to satisfy 

the requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that 

the proposed project, with the 

appropriate mitigation measures as 

recommended, would have limited 

adverse environmental impact. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

(COE) and U.S. Department of 

Agriculture Forest Service (USFS) are 

cooperating agencies for this EIS. 

Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction 

by law or special expertise with respect 

to resources potentially affected by the 

proposal and participate in the NEPA 

analysis. The Project would require 

permits from the cooperating agencies 

pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean 

Water Act (33 United States Code 

[U.S.C.] 1344), Section 10 of the Rivers 

and Harbors Act (33 U.S.C. 403), rightof-way grants within the Apalachicola 

National Forest (ANF), and/or 

temporary use permits. The COE would 

adopt the EIS per Title 40 Code of 

Federal Regulations § 1506.3 (40 CFR 

1506.3) if, after an independent review 

of the document, it concludes that its 

comments and suggestions have been 

satisfied. The USFS manages all Federal 

lands (ANF) that would be crossed by 

this Project. A special-use permit would 

be issued by the USFS for the existing 

right-of-way for two existing pipelines 

(a 30-inch and a 36-inch-diameter) and 

the proposed additional 36-inchdiameter pipeline. This additional 

pipeline would require an additional 40 

feet of right-of-way adjacent to the 

existing right-of-way. By participating as 

a cooperating agency, the USFS will 

obtain the views of the public prior to 

reaching an easement decision.
