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

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.

the Internet in lieu of paper. See the previous 

discussion on filing comments electronically. 

The draft EIS addresses the potential 

environmental effects of the following 

Project facilities: 

• Construction and operation of about 

357.3 miles of mixed-diameter looping 

segments in Mobile, Baldwin, and 

Escambia Counties, Alabama and 

Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, 

Walton, Washington, Jackson, Bay, 

Calhoun, Gadsden, Leon, Jefferson, 

Taylor, Lafayette, Suwannee, Gilchrist, 

Levy, Citrus, Hernando, Pasco, 

Hillsborough, and Miami-Dade 

Counties, Florida; 

• Construction and operation of about 

125.9 miles of three mixed-diameter 

segments of greenfield pipeline in 

Lafayette, Madison, Manatee, DeSoto, 

Highlands, Okeechobee, Martin, and 

Suwannee Counties, Florida; 

• Acquisition from Florida Power & 

Light Company (FPL) one 22.7 mile 20- 

inch-diameter segment of pipeline, 

located in Martin County, Florida, as an 

‘‘in service’’ pipeline; 

• Installation of about 198,000 

horsepower (hp) of compression at 8 

existing compressor stations; 

• Installation of one new 15,600 hp 

compressor station in Highlands 

County, Florida; 

• Acquisition of additional property 

directly adjacent to four existing 

compressor stations for expansion, 

expand four compressor stations within 

their right-of-way, and acquire the 

property for one new compressor 

station; and 

• Construction and operation of new 

meter and regulator (M&R) Stations in 

Suwannee County, Manatee County, 

and Martin County, Florida; upgrade 

two M&R Stations in Mobile County, 

Alabama and Martin County, Florida; 

and construct one new regulator station 

in Lafayette County, Florida.

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP09–157–000] 

El Paso Natural Gas Company; Notice 

of Request Under Blanket 

Authorization 

April 21, 2009. 

Take notice that on April 16, 2009, El 

Paso Natural Gas Company (EPNG), PO 

Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 

80944, filed a prior notice request 

pursuant to parts 157.205 and 157.208 

of the Commission’s regulations under 

the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and EPNG’s 

blanket certificate issued in Docket No. 

CP82–435–000, for authorization to 

increase the certificated Maximum 

Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP) 

of its 65⁄8 inch outer diameter Mesa 

Irrigation Area Line (Line No. 2152) 

located in Yuma County, Arizona, all as 

more fully set forth in the application, 

which is on file with the Commission 

and open to public inspection. The 

filing may also be viewed on the Web 

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

‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket 

number excluding the last three digits in 

the docket number field to access the 

document. For assistance, contact FERC 

at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or call 

toll-free, (866) 208–3676 or TTY, (202) 

502–8659. 

Specifically, EPNG proposes to uprate 

the MAOP of Line No. 2152 from 250 

pounds per square in gauge (psig) to 450 

psig to provide a higher delivery 

pressure to Southwest Gas Corporation 

(SWG) to test its downstream facilities 

and to modestly increase its contract 

pressure. EPNG states that it was 

informed by SWG that it seeks to 

increase the operating pressure of its 

local distribution system and asked 

EPNG to provide a delivery pressure of 

approximately 450 psig to allow SWG to 

pressure test its system. EPNG asserts 

that, after successfully testing its 

system, SWG has requested a minimum 

delivery pressure increase under its 

transportation service agreement from 

250 psig to 265 psig on a day-to-day 

basis. EPNG states that it would be able 

to immediately meet the higher 

pressures requested by SWG given that 

EPNG’s upstream Line No. 2123 already 

operates at higher pressure and has an 

MAOP of 809 psig. EPNG asserts that it 

would not require any new equipment 

installations and would only have to 

change the settings on its existing 

regulation equipment to permit the 

higher pressure operation. 

Any questions regarding the 

application should be directed to 

Richard Derryberry, Director, Regulatory 

Affairs Department, El Paso Natural Gas 

Company, P.O. Box 1087, Colorado 

Springs, Colorado 80944, at (719) 520– 

3782. 

Any person may, within 60 days after 

the issuance of the instant notice by the 

Commission, file pursuant to Rule 214 

of the Commission’s Procedural Rules 

(18 CFR 385.214) a motion to intervene 

or notice of intervention. Any person 

filing to intervene or the Commission’s 

staff may, pursuant to Part 157.205 of 

the Commission’s regulations under the 

NGA (18 CFR 157.205) file a protest to 

the request. If no protest is filed within 

the time allowed therefore, the proposed 

activity shall be deemed to be 

authorized effective the day after the 

time allowed for protest. If a protest is 

filed and not withdrawn within 30 days 

after the time allowed for filing a 

protest, the instant request shall be 

treated as an application for 

authorization pursuant to section 7 of 

the NGA. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests, 

and interventions via the Internet in lieu 

of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii)
