DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP22–141–000] 

Great Basin Gas Transmission 

Company; Notice of Schedule for the 

Preparation of an Environmental 

Assessment for the 2023 Mainline 

Replacement Project 

On March 30, 2022, Great Basin Gas 

Transmission Company (Great Basin) 

filed an application in Docket No. 

CP22–141–000 requesting a Certificate 

of Public Convenience and Necessity 

pursuant to Section 7(c) to construct 

and operate certain natural gas pipeline 

facilities and Authorization pursuant to 

Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act to 

abandon certain natural gas pipeline 

facilities. The proposed project is 

known as the 2023 Mainline 

Replacement Project (Project) and 

would involve abandoning and 

replacing a segment of pipeline in 

Humboldt County, Nevada to address 

indications that the subject pipeline 

segment is approaching the end of its 

useful life. 

On April 13, 2022, the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission or 

FERC) 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—November 10, 2022 

90-day Federal Authorization Decision 

Deadline 2—February 8, 2023 

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 

Great Basin proposes to abandon inplace approximately 20.4 miles of its 

existing 16-inch-diameter steel pipeline 

and construct, as replacement, 

approximately 20.4 miles of new 16- 

inch-diameter steel pipeline in 

Humboldt County, Nevada. The 

replacement pipeline would be 

constructed approximately 20 feet from 

the existing pipeline to be abandoned 

beginning just south of US–95, north of 

Winnemucca, Nevada, and ending south 

of State Highway 49/Jungo Road near 

Great Basin’s existing Elko Lateral Tap. 

The Project would also include removal 

of existing valves and replacement with 

new valves and associated 

appurtenances within Great Basin’s 

existing Elko Lateral Tap. 

Background 

On May 16, 2022, the Commission 

issued a Notice of Scoping Period 

Requesting Comments on 

Environmental Issues for the Proposed 

2023 Mainline Replacement Project and 

Notice of Public Scoping Session (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 

received comments from the Nevada 

State Historic Preservation Officer, 

Environmental Protection Agency, and 

Teamsters National Pipeline Labor 

Management Cooperation Trust. The 

primary issues and topics raised by the 

commenters are consultation under 

Section 106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act and recommendations

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 133 / Wednesday, July 13, 2022 / Notices 41709 

for what the environmental analysis 

should include regarding purpose and 

need, alternatives, scope of the 

assessment, environmental baseline, 

climate change, air quality, water 

resources, spills and hazardous 

materials, habitat and wildlife, 

environmental justice, land use, tribal 

consultations, and monitoring and 

adaptive management. We also received 

a comment letter promoting the use of 

Teamster union member pipeline 

workers and its union contractors to 

build the Project. All substantive 

comments will be addressed in the EA. 

The Bureau of Land Management and 

Environmental Protection Agency are 

cooperating agencies in the preparation 

of the EA. 

Additional Information

issuance of the EA and to keep track of 

formal issuances and submittals in
