1 Commitment reasons may include, but are not 

limited to, system-wide capacity, constraint 

management, and voltage support. 

2 The hourly cost estimate is based on data from 

the Bureau of Labor Statistics for three occupational 

categories for 2020 involved in the reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements. These figures include 

salary (https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_

nat.htm) and benefits and are: 

• Manager (Occupation Code 11–0000): $97.15/ 

hour.

$70.19/hour. 

• File Clerk (Occupation Code 43–4071): 34.70/ 

hour. 

The estimated hourly cost for the reporting 

requirement ($67.38) is an average of the costs 

listed above.

Provisions of the National Environmental Policy 

Act (Final Rule, 85 FR 43304), which was effective

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 2146–111; Project No. 82–000; 

Project No. 618–000] 

Alabama Power Company, Notice of 

Availability of The Draft Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

The Coosa River Hydroelectric Project 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission’s (Commission) 

regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office 

of Energy Projects has reviewed the 

application for a single new license for 

three currently separately licensed 

projects and has prepared a draft 

supplemental environmental impact 

statement (SEIS).1 The single new 

operating license would combine the 

Coosa Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 

2146), which consists of the Weiss, H. 

Neely Henry, Logan Martin, Lay, and 

Bouldin developments, the Mitchell 

Dam Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 

82), and the Jordan Dam Hydroelectric 

Project (FERC No. 618) as one 960.9- 

megawatt (MW) project, the Coosa River 

Hydroelectric Project (Coosa River 

Project) No. 2146. The projects are 

located on the Coosa River, in the states 

of Alabama and Georgia, and occupy 

about 508.31 acres of federal land 

administered by the U.S. Bureau of 

Land Management and 5.75 acres of 

federal land administered by the U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers. 

The draft SEIS has been prepared to 

address the July 6, 2018 opinion issued 

by the United States Court of Appeals 

for the District of Columbia (court) 

regarding the Commission’s 

environmental review of the Coosa 

River Project, and supplements the final 

environmental assessment (FEA), issued 

December 31, 2009, for the project. The 

draft SEIS focuses on the following 

issues identified by the court as needing 

further analysis and expands upon the 

analysis contained within the FEA for 

these issues: (1) Dissolved oxygen; (2) 

fish entrainment and turbine mortality; 

(3) federally listed threatened and 

endangered species; and (4) cumulative 

effects. The draft SEIS describes staff’s 

analysis of the applicant’s proposal and 

the alternatives for relicensing the 

project. The draft SEIS documents the 

views of governmental agencies, nongovernmental organizations, affected 

Indian tribes, the public, the license 

applicant, and Commission staff. 

The Commission provides all 

interested persons with an opportunity 

to view and/or print the draft SEIS via 

the internet through the Commission’s 

Home Page (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. At this time, the Commission 

has suspended access to the 

Commission’s Public Reference Room,

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP21–14–000] 

Adelphia Gateway, LLC; Notice of 

Availability of the Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement for the Proposed 

Marcus Hook Electric Compression 

Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared a draft 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

for the Marcus Hook Electric 

Compression Project (Project), proposed 

by Adelphia Gateway, LLC (Adelphia) 

in the above-referenced docket. 

Adelphia requests authorization to 

construct and operate an additional 

compressor unit and ancillary facilities 

at its Marcus Hook Compressor Station 

in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The 

Project purpose is to increase the 

certificated capacity of Adelphia’s 

pipeline system to provide an additional 

16,500 dekatherms per day of firm 

transportation service for a new shipper 

on Adelphia’s system to an 

interconnection with Columbia Gas 

Transmission, LLC’s pipeline system in 

New Castle County, Delaware. 

The draft EIS incorporates by 

reference the Commission’s February 9, 

2021 Environmental Assessment (EA),1

which addressed the potential 

environmental effects of the installation 

and operation of an electric motordriven 3,000-horsepower compressor 

unit and ancillary facilities at the 

Marcus Hook Compressor Station. The 

draft EIS also responds to a protest and 

comments that were filed following 

issuance of the EA, provides additional 

discussion of climate change impacts in 

the region, and includes disclosure of 

downstream greenhouse gas emissions 

for the Project. With the exception of 

climate change impacts, the FERC staff 

concludes that approval of the proposed 

Project would not result in significant 

environmental impacts. FERC staff 

continues to be unable to determine 

significance with regards to climate 

change impacts. 

The Commission mailed a copy of the 

Notice of Availability of the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for the 

Proposed Marcus Hook Electric 

Compression Project 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; 

and newspapers and libraries in the 

Project area. The draft EIS is only 

available in electronic format. It may be 

viewed and downloaded from the 

FERC’s website (www.ferc.gov), on the 

natural gas environmental documents 

page (https://www.ferc.gov/industriesdata/natural-gas/environment/ 

environmental-documents). In addition, 

the draft EIS may be accessed by using 

the eLibrary link on the FERC’s website. 

Click on the eLibrary link (https://

elibrary.ferc.gov/eLibrary/search) select 

‘‘General Search’’ and enter the docket 

number in the ‘‘Docket Number’’ field 

(i.e., CP21–14). Be sure you have 

selected an appropriate date range. For

Support at FercOnlineSupport@ferc.gov 

or toll free at (866) 208–3676, or for 

TTY, contact (202) 502–8659. 

The draft EIS is not a decision 

document. It presents Commission 

staff’s independent analysis of the 

environmental issues for the 

Commission to consider when 

addressing the merits of all issues in 

this proceeding. Any person wishing to 

comment on the draft EIS may do so. 

Your comments should focus on draft 

EIS’s disclosure and completeness of the 

submitted alternatives, information and 

analyses, including climate impacts, 

and measures to avoid or lessen 

environmental impacts. To ensure 

consideration of your comments on the 

proposal in the final EIS, it is important 

that the Commission receive your 

comments on or before 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time on August 9, 2021. 

For your convenience, there are three 

methods you can use to submit your 

comments to the Commission. The 

Commission encourages electronic filing 

of comments and has staff available to 

assist you at (866) 208–3676 or
