decisions of other federal agencies, and state 

agencies acting under federally delegated authority, 

that are responsible for federal authorizations, 

permits, and other approvals necessary for 

proposed projects under the Natural Gas Act. Per 

18 CFR 157.22(a), the Commission’s deadline for 

other agency’s decisions applies unless a schedule 

is otherwise established by federal law. 

potential effects on historic properties.6

The environmental document for this 

project will document our findings on 

the impacts on historic properties and 

summarize the status of consultations 

under section 106. 

Environmental Mailing List 

The environmental mailing list

project. 

If you need to make changes to your

please complete one of the following 

steps: 

(1) Send an email to 

GasProjectAddressChange@ferc.gov 

stating your request. You must include 

the docket number PF22–6–000 in your

Becoming an Intervenor 

Once Transco files its application 

with the Commission, you may want to 

become an ‘‘intervenor’’ which is an 

official party to the Commission’s 

proceeding. Only intervenors have the 

right to seek rehearing of the 

Commission’s decision and be heard by 

the courts if they choose to appeal the 

Commission’s final ruling. An 

intervenor formally participates in the 

proceeding by filing a request to 

intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedures (18 CFR 385.214). Motions 

to intervene are more fully described at 

https://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/ 

how-to.asp. Please note that the 

Commission will not accept requests for 

intervenor status at this time. You must 

wait until the Commission receives a 

formal application for the project, after 

which the Commission will issue a 

public notice that establishes an 

intervention deadline.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket Nos. CP22–162–000, CP18–549– 

001] 

Equitrans, L.P.; Notice of Schedule for 

the Preparation of an Environmental 

Assessment for the Swarts Complex 

Abandonment Project Amendment 

On April 12, 2022, Equitrans, L.P. 

(Equitrans) filed an application in 

Docket Nos. CP22–162–000 and CP18– 

549–001 requesting a limited 

amendment to the existing 

abandonment authorization issued by 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission (Commission or FERC) on 

March 20, 2019. The proposed project is 

known as the Swarts Complex 

Abandonment Project Amendment 

(Project) and would change Equitrans’ 

abandonment method for five injection 

and withdrawal (I/W) wells in the 

Swarts Complex. Equitrans previously 

proposed abandonment-by-sale and 

currently proposes to plug-and-abandon 

the five wells to comply with 

Pennsylvania Department of 

Environmental Protection’s (PADEP) 

regulations. 

On April 15, 2022, the Commission 

issued its Notice of Application for the 

Project. Among other things, that notice 

alerted agencies issuing federal 

authorizations of the requirement to 

complete all necessary reviews and to 

reach a final decision on a request for 

a federal authorization within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s environmental document for the 

Project. 

This notice identifies Commission 

staff’s intention to prepare an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

Project and the planned schedule for the 

completion of the environmental 

review.1

Schedule for Environmental Review 

Issuance of EA—September 2, 2022. 

90-day Federal Authorization Decision 

Deadline 2—December 1, 2022. 

If a schedule change becomes 

necessary, additional notice will be 

provided so that the relevant agencies 

are kept informed of the Project’s 

progress. 

Project Description 

The Commission authorization issued 

on March 20, 2019 in Docket No. CP18– 

549–000 authorized Equitrans to 

abandon eighteen I/W wells in the 

Swarts Complex by sale, abandon the 

associated well lines in place, and 

abandon any associated appurtenant 

facilities. Since the issuance of the 

Abandonment Authorization, Equitrans 

has abandoned four of the originally 

authorized eighteen I/W wells by sale to 

CONSOL Pennsylvania Coal Company 

LLC, CONSOL Mining Company LLC, 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
31870 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 101 / Wednesday, May 25, 2022 / Notices 

and CNX Gas Company LLC 

(collectively, CONSOL). The PADEP’s 

setback regulation requires wells within 

2,000 feet of coal mining activities to be 

plugged/abandoned or reconditioned. 

Equitrans, to comply with the PADEP’s 

regulations, now proposes to perform 

the plugging and abandonment of five of 

the remaining fourteen wells itself 

rather than transferring those 

responsibilities to CONSOL. 

Specifically, Equitrans now proposes to 

plug and abandon I/W wells 603791, 

603792, 603793, 603795, and 603797, 

and abandon in place the pipelines 

associated with the five wells. Equitrans 

also proposes to disconnect and remove 

aboveground appurtenances along with 

a portion of the well lines that are 

within each well site workspace. 

Background 

On April 19, 2022, the Commission 

issued a Notice of Scoping Period 

Requesting Comments on 

Environmental Issues for the Proposed 

Swarts Complex Abandonment Project 

Amendment (Notice of Scoping). The 

Notice of Scoping was sent to affected 

landowners; federal, state, and local 

government agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American tribes; other 

interested parties; and local libraries 

and newspapers. In response to the 

Notice of Scoping, the Commission has 

not received any comments to date. Any 

substantive comment filed in response 

to the Notice of Scoping will be 

addressed in the EA. 

Additional Information 

In order to receive notification of the 

issuance of the EA and to keep track of 

formal issuances and submittals in 

specific dockets, the Commission offers 

a free service called eSubscription. This 

service provides automatic notification 

of filings made to subscribed dockets, 

document summaries, and direct links 

to the documents. Go to https://

Availability of Environmental 

Assessment 

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 Walden 

Hydroelectric Project, located on the 

Wallkill River in the Village of Walden, 

in Orange County, New York, and has 

prepared an Environmental Assessment 

(EA) for the project. The project does 

not occupy federal land. 

The EA 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
