BILLING CODE 6717–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP21–113–000] 

Alliance Pipeline, L.P.; Notice of 

Availability of the Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement for the Proposed 

Three Rivers Interconnection Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared a draft 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

for the Three Rivers Interconnection 

Project (Project), proposed by Alliance 

Pipeline L.P. (Alliance) in the abovereferenced docket. Alliance proposes to 

construct and operate about 2.9 miles of 

20-inch-diameter natural gas 

transmission pipeline and associated 

facilities in Grundy County, Illinois. 

This pipeline would connect Alliance’s 

existing interstate natural gas 

transmission system to Competitive 

Power Venture’s Three Rivers Energy 

Center, currently under construction; 

and as proposed, would transport up to 

210 million standard cubic feet per day 

of natural gas to this facility. According 

to Alliance, the Project is necessary to 

provide Competitive Power Venture’s 

Three Rivers Energy Center with access 

to an additional natural gas supply 

source. 

The draft EIS 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 proposed Project, with the 

mitigation measures recommended in 

the EIS, would result in some adverse 

environmental impacts, but none that 

are considered significant. Regarding 

climate change impacts, this EIS is not 

characterizing the Project’s greenhouse 

gas emissions as significant or 

insignificant because the Commission is 

conducting a generic proceeding to 

determine whether and how the 

Commission will conduct significance 

determinations going forward.1 The EIS 

also concludes that no system, route, or 

other alternative would meet the Project 

objective while providing a significant 

environmental advantage over the 

Project as proposed. 

The U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission participated as cooperating 

agencies in the preparation of the EIS. 

Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction 

by law or special expertise with respect 

to resources potentially affected by the 

proposal and participate in the NEPA 

analysis. 

The Commission mailed a copy of the 

Notice of Availability of the draft EIS to 

federal, state, and local government 

representatives and agencies; elected 

officials; environmental and public 

interest groups; Indian tribes; 

potentially affected landowners and 

other interested individuals and groups; 

and newspapers and libraries in the 

Project area. The draft EIS 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/industriesdata/natural-gas/environment/ 

environmental-documents). In addition, 

the draft EIS 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, 

excluding the last three digits (i.e. 

CP21–113). Be sure you have selected

The draft EIS 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 draft EIS may do so. 

Your comments should focus on the 

draft EIS’ disclosure and discussion of 

potential environmental effects, 

reasonable alternatives, and measures to 

avoid or lessen environmental impacts. 

To ensure consideration of your 

comments on the proposal in the final 

EIS, it is important that the Commission 

receive your comments on or before 5:00 

p.m. Eastern Time on August 1, 2022. 

For your convenience, there are three 

methods you can use to submit your 

comments to the Commission. The 

Commission will provide equal 

consideration to all comments received, 

whether filed in written form or 

provided orally. The Commission 

encourages electronic filing of 

comments and has staff available to 

assist you at (866) 208–3676 or 

FercOnlineSupport@ferc.gov. Please 

carefully follow these instructions so 

that your comments are properly 

recorded. 

(1) You can file your comments 

electronically using the eComment 

feature on the Commission’s website 

(www.ferc.gov) under the link to FERC 

Online. This is an easy method for 

submitting brief, text-only comments on 

a project; 

(2) You can file your comments 

electronically by using the eFiling 

feature on the Commission’s website 

(www.ferc.gov) under the link to FERC 

Online. With eFiling, you can provide 

comments in a variety of formats by 

attaching them as a file with your 

submission. New eFiling users must 

first create an account by clicking on 

‘‘eRegister.’’ If you are filing a comment 

on a particular project, please select 

‘‘Comment on a Filing’’ as the filing 

type; or 

(3) You can file a paper copy of your 

comments by mailing them to the 

Commission. Be sure to reference the 

project docket number (CP21–113–000) 

on your letter. Submissions sent via the 

U.S. Postal Service must be addressed 

to: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington, 

DC 20426. Submissions sent via any 

other carrier must be addressed to: 

Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 12225 

Wilkins Avenue, Rockville, Maryland 

20852. 

Any person seeking to become a party 

to the proceeding must file a motion to 

intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedures (18 CFR part 385.214). 

Motions to intervene are more fully 

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

intervenors have the right to seek 

rehearing or judicial review of the 

Commission’s decision. The 

Commission grants affected landowners 

and others with environmental concerns 

intervenor status upon showing good 

cause by stating that they have a clear 

and direct interest in this proceeding 

which no other party can adequately 

represent. Simply filing environmental 

comments will not give you intervenor 

status, but you do not need intervenor 

status to have your comments 

considered.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 5261–023] 

Green Mountain Power Corporation; 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment 

On August 27, 2021, Green Mountain 

Power Corporation filed an application 

for a subsequent minor license for the 

365-kilowatt Newbury Hydroelectric 

Project (Newbury Project; FERC No. 

5261). The Newbury Project is located 

on the Wells River in the Town of 

Newbury in Orange County, Vermont. 

The project does not occupy federal 

lands. 

In accordance with the Commission’s 

regulations, on April 6, 2022, 

Commission staff issued a notice that 

the project was ready for environmental 

analysis (REA Notice). Based on the 

information in the record, including 

comments filed on the REA Notice, staff 

does not anticipate that licensing the 

project would constitute a major federal 

action significantly affecting the quality 

of the human environment. Therefore, 

staff intends to prepare an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) on the 

application to relicense the Newbury 

Project. 

The EA will be issued and circulated 

for review by all interested parties. All 

comments filed on the EA will be 

analyzed by staff and considered in the 

Commission’s final licensing decision. 

The application will be processed 

according to the following schedule. 

Revisions to the schedule may be made 

as appropriate. 

Milestone Target date 

Commission issues EA ...... January 2023.1

Comments on EA .............. February 2023. 

1The Council on Environmental Quality’s 

(CEQ) regulations under 40 CFR 

1501.10(b)(1) require that EAs be completed 

within 1 year of the federal action agency’s 

decision to prepare an EA. This notice establishes the Commission’s intent to prepare an 

EA for the Newbury Project. Therefore, in accordance with CEQ’s regulations, the EA must 

be issued within 1 year of the issuance date of 

this notice. 

Any questions regarding this notice 

may be directed to Adam Peer at (202) 

502–8449 or adam.peer@ferc.gov.
