Commission 

[Docket No. CP21–134–000] 

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 

Company, LLC; Notice of Scoping 

Period Requesting Comments on 

Environmental Issues for the Proposed 

Happytown Abandonment Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) will prepare an 

environmental document that will 

discuss the environmental impacts of 

the Happytown Abandonment Project 

involving abandonment of facilities by 

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 

Company, LLC (Transco) in Pointe 

Coupe ́e Parish, Louisiana. The 

Commission will use this environmental 

document in its decision-making 

process. 

This notice announces the opening of 

the scoping process the Commission 

will use to gather input from the public 

and interested agencies regarding the 

project. As part of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

review process, the Commission takes 

into account concerns the public may 

have about proposals and the 

environmental impacts that could result 

from its action whenever it considers 

the issuance of an authorization. This 

gathering of public input is referred to 

as ‘‘scoping.’’ The main goal of the 

scoping process is to focus the analysis 

in the environmental document on the 

important environmental issues. 

Additional information about the 

Commission’s NEPA process is 

described below in the NEPA Process 

and Environmental Document section of 

this notice. 

By this notice, the Commission 

requests public comments on the scope 

of issues to address in the 

environmental document. To ensure 

that your comments are timely and 

properly recorded, please submit your 

comments so that the Commission 

receives them in Washington, DC on or 

before 5:00pm Eastern Time on 

September 21, 2021. Comments may be 

submitted in written form. Further 

details on how to submit comments are 

provided in the Public Participation 

section of this notice. 

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 environmental 

document. Commission staff will 

consider all written comments during 

the preparation of the environmental 

document. 

If you submitted comments on this 

project to the Commission before the 

opening of this docket on April 8, 2021, 

you will need to file those comments in 

Docket No. CP21–134–000 to ensure 

they are considered as part of this 

proceeding. 

This notice is being sent to the 

Commission’s current environmental 

mailing list for this project. State and 

local government representatives should 

notify their constituents of this 

proposed project and encourage them to 

comment on their areas of concern. 

If you are a landowner receiving this 

notice, a pipeline company 

representative may contact you about 

the acquisition of an easement to 

construct, operate, and maintain the 

proposed facilities. The company would 

seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable 

easement agreement. You are not 

required to enter into an agreement. 

However, if the Commission approves 

the project, the Natural Gas Act conveys 

the right of eminent domain to the 

company. Therefore, if you and the 

company do not reach an easement 

agreement, the pipeline company could 

initiate condemnation proceedings in 

court. In such instances, compensation 

would be determined by a judge in 

accordance with state law. The 

Commission does not subsequently 

grant, exercise, or oversee the exercise 

of that eminent domain authority. The 

courts have exclusive authority to 

handle eminent domain cases; the 

Commission has no jurisdiction over 

these matters. 

Transco provided landowners with a 

fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled 

‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On 

My Land? What Do I Need To Know?’’ 

which addresses typically asked 

questions, including the use of eminent 

domain and how to participate in the 

Commission’s proceedings. This fact

Summary of the Proposed Project 

Transco proposes to abandon facilities 

comprising of 8-, 10-, and 12-inchdiameter pipeline segments totaling 

approximately 29.6 miles, as well as 

appurtenant facilities. The Happytown 

Abandonment Project would abandon 

inactive facilities, which would have no 

impact on Transco’s operations and the 

ability of Transco’s Mainlines A, B, and 

C to provide natural gas service. 

According to Transco the system ceased 

production several years ago due to 

diminished reserves. Happytown A, B, 

and the Sun Fordoche Lateral were 

taken out of service in various stages 

between 1993 and 1998. 

The Happytown Abandonment 

Project would consist of the following 

facilities: 

• Approximately 15.1 miles of 8-inchdiameter natural gas pipeline; 

• approximately 6.8 miles of 8-inchdiameter natural gas pipeline; 

• approximately 4.1 miles of 10-inchdiameter natural gas pipeline; and 

• the Sun Fordoche Lateral—an 

approximately 3.6-mile-long, 12-inchdiameter pipeline. 

The general location of the project 

facilities is shown in appendix 1.1

Land Requirements for Construction 

Abandonment activities of the 

proposed facilities would disturb about 

141 acres of land for the aboveground 

facilities and the pipeline. No land 

would be used for operations. 

NEPA Process and the Environmental 

Document 

Any environmental document issued 

by the Commission will discuss impacts 

that could occur as a result of the 

abandonment of the project facilities 

under the relevant general resource 

areas: 

• Geology and soils; 

• water resources and wetlands; 

• vegetation and wildlife; 

• threatened and endangered species; 

• cultural resources; 

• land use; 

• air quality and noise; and 

• reliability and safety. 

Commission staff will also evaluate 

reasonable alternatives to the proposed 

project or portions of the project and 

make recommendations on how to 

lessen or avoid impacts on the various 

resource areas. Your comments will 

help Commission staff identify and 

focus on the issues that might have an 

effect on the human environment and 

potentially eliminate others from further 

study and discussion in the 

environmental document. 

Following this scoping period, 

Commission staff will determine 

whether to prepare an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) or an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS). The EA or the 

EIS will present Commission staff’s 

independent analysis of the issues. If 

Commission staff prepares an EA, a 

Notice of Schedule for the Preparation 

of an Environmental Assessment will be 

issued. The EA may be issued for an 

allotted public comment period. The 

Commission would consider timely 

comments on the EA before making its 

decision regarding the proposed project. 

If Commission staff prepares an EIS, a 

Notice of Intent to Prepare an EIS/ 

Notice of Schedule will be issued, 

which will open up an additional 

comment period. Staff will then prepare 

a draft EIS which will be issued for 

public comment. Commission staff will 

consider all timely comments received 

during the comment period on the draft 

EIS and revise the document, as 

necessary, before issuing a final EIS. 

Any EA or draft and final EIS will be 

available in electronic format in the 

public record through eLibrary 2 and the 

Commission’s natural gas 

environmental documents web page 

(https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/ 

natural-gas/environment/ 

environmental-documents). If 

eSubscribed, you will receive instant 

email notification when the 

environmental document is issued. 

With this notice, the Commission is 

asking agencies with jurisdiction by law 

and/or special expertise with respect to 

the environmental issues of this project 

to formally cooperate in the preparation 

of the environmental document.3

Agencies that would like to request 

cooperating agency status should follow 

the instructions for filing comments 

provided under the Public Participation 

section of this notice.
