amended (5 U.S.C. 552b), the U.S. 

Election Assistance Commission (EAC) 

will conduct a virtual roundtable 

discussion on the new Election 

Administration and Voting Survey 

(EAVS) 2020 Comprehensive Report and 

‘‘Lessons Learned from the 2020 General

page: https://www.eac.gov/researchand-data/studies-and-reports. The 2020 

EAVS will be available on that web page 

once it is finalized. The ‘‘Lessons

Election’’ report will also be available 

on the EAC’s website: https://

The full agenda will be posted in

www.eac.gov. 

Background 

Since 2004, the U.S. Election 

Assistance Commission (EAC) has 

conducted the Election Administration 

and Voting Survey (EAVS) following 

each federal general election. The EAVS 

asks all 50 U.S. states, the District of 

Columbia, and five U.S. territories— 

American Samoa, Guam, the Northern 

Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the 

U.S. Virgin Islands—to provide data 

about the ways Americans vote and how 

elections are administered. Since 2008, 

this project has included a separate 

survey collecting information about 

state election laws, policies, and 

practices. 

The EAVS provides the most 

comprehensive source of state and local 

jurisdiction-level data about election 

administration in the United States. 

Topics covered through EAVS data 

collection relate to voter registration and 

list maintenance, voting practices for 

overseas citizens and members of the 

armed forces serving away from home 

and other important issues related to 

voting and election administration. 

The EAC commissioned Charles 

Stewart from MIT and John Fortier from 

the American Enterprise Institute to 

develop the ‘‘Lessons Learned from the 

2020 General Election’’ report. This 

report draws on a wide variety of 

evidence and statistical sources to 

review a variety of topics that inform 

our understanding of how well the 

election was run: Shifting from inperson to mail balloting; managing mail 

and in-person voting; counting votes; 

paying for the election; voting 

technology; voter registration; and voter 

confidence. 

Status 

This roundtable discussion will be 

open to the public.

Associate Counsel, U.S. Election Assistance 

Commission.

Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure,1 within 90 days of this 

Notice the Commission staff will either: 

Complete its environmental review 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 environmental assessment (EA) for 

this proposal. The filing of an 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. 

Public Participation 

There are three ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project: You can file a protest to the 

project, you can file a motion to 

intervene in the proceeding, and you 

can file comments on the project. There 

is no fee or cost for filing protests, 

motions to intervene, or comments. The 

deadline for filing protests, motions to 

intervene, and comments is 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time on August 20, 2021. How 

to file comments and motions to 

intervene is explained below. 

Comments 

Any person wishing to comment on 

the project may do so. The Commission 

considers all comments received about 

the project in determining the 

appropriate action to be taken. To 

ensure that your comments are timely 

and properly recorded, please submit 

your comments on or before August 20, 

2021. However, the filing of a comment 

alone will not serve to make the filer a 

party to the proceeding. To become a 

party, you must intervene in the 

proceeding. 

Persons who comment on the 

environmental review of this project 

will be placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, and will 

receive notification when the 

environmental documents (EA or EIS) 

are issued for this project and will be 

notified of meetings associated with the 

Commission’s environmental review 

process. 

Interventions 

Any person, which includes 

individuals, organizations, businesses, 

municipalities, and other entities,2 has 

the option to file a motion to intervene 

in this proceeding. Only intervenors 

have the right to request rehearing of 

Commission orders issued in this 

proceeding and to subsequently 

challenge the Commission’s orders in 

the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal. 

To intervene, you must submit a 

motion to intervene to the Commission 

in accordance with Rule 214 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure 3 and the regulations under 

the NGA 4 by the intervention deadline 

for the project, which is August 20, 

2021. As described further in Rule 214, 

your motion to intervene must state, to 

the extent known, your position 

regarding the proceeding, as well as 

your interest in the proceeding. [For an 

individual, this could include your 

status as a landowner, ratepayer, 

resident of an impacted community, or 

recreationist. You do not need to have 

property directly impacted by the 

project in order to intervene.] For more 

information about motions to intervene, 

refer to the FERC website at https://

www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/ 

intervene.asp. 

All timely, unopposed motions to 

intervene are automatically granted by 

operation of Rule 214(c)(1). Motions to 

intervene that are filed after the 

intervention deadline are untimely and 

may be denied. Any late-filed motion to 

intervene must show good cause for 

being late and must explain why the 

time limitation should be waived and 

provide justification by reference to 

factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the 

Commission’s Rules and Regulations. A 

person obtaining party status will be 

placed on the service list maintained by 

the Secretary of the Commission and 

will receive copies (paper or electronic) 

of all documents filed by the applicant 

and by all other parties. 

How To File Comments and 

Interventions 

There are two ways to submit your

[Docket No. CP20–484–000; CP20–485–000] 

ANR Pipeline Company; Lakes 

Transmission Limited Partnership; 

Notice of Availability of the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Proposed Alberta Xpress and 

Lease Capacity Abandonment Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared a draft 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

for the Alberta Xpress and Lease 

Capacity Abandonment Projects, 

proposed by ANR Pipeline Company 

(ANR) and Great Lakes Gas 

Transmission Limited Partnership 

(GLGT) in Docket Nos. CP20–484–000 

and CP20–485–000, respectively. ANR 

proposes to construct and operate one 

new greenfield compressor station 

(designated as the Turkey Creek 

Compressor Station) and modify a 

mainline valve in Evangeline Parish, 

Louisiana, and acquire a lease 

agreement between ANR and GLGT. 

ANR has executed binding precedent 

agreements with two shippers to 

transport up to 165,000 dekatherms per 

day of natural gas. GLGT proposes to 

abandon firm capacity by a lease 

agreement with ANR. No new 

construction is proposed as part of the 

Lease Capacity Abandonment Project; 

however, this is related to the 

application filed by ANR to construct 

and operate the Alberta Xpress Project. 

The draft EIS responds to comments 

that were received on the Commission’s 

December 4, 2020 environmental 

assessment (EA),1 provides additional 

discussion of climate change impacts in 

the region, and discloses downstream 

greenhouse gas emissions for the 

projects. With the exception of climate 

change impacts, the FERC staff 

concludes that approval of the proposed 

projects, with the mitigation measures 

recommended in this EIS, would not 

result in significant environmental 

impacts. FERC staff continues to be 

unable to determine significance with 

regards to climate change impacts.
