30220 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 96 / Wednesday, May 18, 2022 / Notices 

The EA assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

Project in accordance with the 

requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The 

FERC staff concludes that approval of 

the Project would result in some adverse 

environmental impacts. However, if the 

Project is constructed and operated in 

accordance with the mitigation 

measures discussed in this EA, and our 

recommendations, approval of the 

proposed Project would not constitute a 

major federal action significantly 

affecting the quality of the human 

environment. 

The Commission mailed a copy of the 

Notice of Availability for this EA to 

federal, state, and local government 

representatives and agencies; elected 

officials; non-governmental 

organizations, environmental, and 

public interest groups; potentially 

interested Indian tribes; affected 

landowners; and newspapers and 

libraries in the project area. The EA 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/ 

industries-data/natural-gas/ 

environment/environmentaldocuments). In addition, the EA 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– 

463). Be sure you have selected an 

appropriate date range. For assistance,

The EA 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 EA may do so. Your comments 

should focus on the EA’s disclosure and 

discussion of potential environmental 

effects, reasonable alternatives, and 

measures to avoid or lessen 

environmental impacts. The more 

specific your comments, the more useful 

they will be. To ensure consideration of 

your comments, it is important that the 

Commission receive your comments on 

or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on 

June 13, 2022.

that your comments are properly 

recorded.

Filing environmental comments will 

not give you intervenor status, but you 

do not need intervenor status to have 

your comments considered. Only 

intervenors have the right to seek 

rehearing or judicial review of the 

Commission’s decision. At this point in 

this proceeding, the timeframe for filing 

timely intervention requests has 

expired. Any person seeking to become 

a party to the proceeding must file a 

motion to intervene out-of-time 

pursuant to Rule 214(b)(3) and (d) of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedures (18 CFR 385.214(b)(3) and 

(d)) and show good cause why the time 

limitation should be waived. Motions to 

intervene are more fully described at 

https://www.ferc.gov/ferc-online/ferconline/how-guides. 

Additional information about the 

Project is available from the 

Commission’s Office of External Affairs, 

at (866) 208–FERC, or on the FERC 

website (www.ferc.gov) using the 

eLibrary link. The eLibrary link also 

provides access to the texts of all formal 

documents issued by the Commission, 

such as orders, notices, and 

rulemakings. 

In addition, the Commission offers a 

free service called eSubscription which 

allows you to keep track of all formal 

issuances and submittals in specific 

dockets. This can reduce the amount of 

time you spend researching proceedings 

by automatically providing you with 

notification of these filings, document 

summaries, and direct links to the 

documents. Go to https://www.ferc.gov/ 

ferc-online/overview to register for 

eSubscription.
