Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC; Notice 

of Supplemental Scoping Period for 

the Proposed Amendment to the 

Certificate of Public Convenience and 

Necessity for the Mountain Valley 

Pipeline Project and Request for 

Comments on Environmental Issues 

On March 16, 2021, Commission staff 

issued a ‘‘Notice of Scoping Period and 

Requesting Comments on 

Environmental Issues for the Proposed 

Amendment to the Certificate of Public 

Convenience and Necessity for the 

Mountain Valley Pipeline Project’’ 

(Notice of Scoping). The Notice of 

Scoping is included as attachment 1.1

The scoping comment period ended on 

April 15, 2021. 

It has come to our attention that the 

entire environmental mailing list may 

not have received copies of the Notice 

of Scoping; therefore, the Commission is 

issuing this Notice of Supplemental 

Scoping Period to provide interested 

parties that did not receive the previous 

notice an opportunity to file comments 

on environmental issues. The 

supplemental scoping period will close 

on August 2, 2021. 

The staff of the Commission is 

preparing an environmental assessment 

(EA) that will discuss the environmental 

impacts of the proposed Amendment to 

the Certificate of Public Convenience 

and Necessity for the Mountain Valley 

Pipeline Project (Amendment Project) 

involving construction and operation of 

facilities by Mountain Valley Pipeline, 

LLC (Mountain Valley) in Wetzel, 

Lewis, Webster, Nicholas, Greenbrier, 

Summers, and Monroe Counties, West 

Virginia and Giles, Montgomery, 

Roanoke, Franklin, and Pittsylvania 

Counties, Virginia. 

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 EA. Commission staff 

will consider all written comments 

during the preparation of the EA. If you 

submitted comments in Docket No. 

CP21–57–000 during the previous 

scoping period, those comments will be 

considered and do not need to be 

resubmitted. 

On June 11, 2021, Commission staff 

issued a ‘‘Notice of Schedule for the 

Preparation of an Environmental 

Assessment for the Proposed 

Amendment to the Certificate of Public 

Convenience and Necessity for the 

Mountain Valley Pipeline Project’’ 

(Notice of Schedule).2 As indicated in 

the Notice of Schedule, the EA is 

scheduled to be published on August 

13, 2021. If a schedule change becomes 

necessary, the Commission will issue a 

revised schedule. 

Additional information on the 

Amendment Project including how to 

submit comments to the Commission, a 

summary of the proposed project, the 

NEPA Process, and information on the 

environmental mailing list can be found

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 2322–069] 

Brookfield White Pine Hydro LLC; 

Notice of Availability of Draft 

Environmental Assessment and 

Revised Procedural Schedule 

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 license for the Shawmut 

Hydroelectric Project, located on the 

Kennebec River in Kennebec and 

Somerset Counties, Maine, and has 

prepared a Draft Environmental 

Assessment (DEA) for the project. No 

federal land is occupied by project 

works or located within the project 

boundary. 

The DEA contains staff’s analysis of 

the potential environmental impacts of 

the project and concludes that licensing 

the project, with appropriate 

environmental protective measures, 

would not constitute a major federal 

action that would significantly affect the 

quality of the human environment. 

The Commission provides all 

interested persons with an opportunity 

to view and/or print the EA 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, 

due to the proclamation declaring a 

National Emergency concerning the 

Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID–19), 

issued by the President on March 13, 

2020. For assistance, contact FERC
