DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP15–517–000] 

Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP; 

Notice of Availability of the 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Proposed Coastal Bend Header Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

Coastal Bend Header Project, proposed 

by Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP 

(Gulf South) in the above-referenced 

docket. Gulf South requests 

authorization to construct and operate 

certain natural gas pipeline facilities in 

various counties in Texas to expand the 

capacity of its pipeline system to 1.42 

billion cubic feet per day to provide 

firm transportation service to the 

Freeport LNG Development, L.P. 

(Freeport LNG) terminal located on 

Quintana Island near Freeport, Texas. 

The EA assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

Coastal Bend Header Project in 

accordance with the requirements of the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that 

approval of the proposed project, with 

appropriate mitigating measures, would 

not constitute a major federal action 

significantly affecting the quality of the 

human environment. 

The proposed Project includes the 

following facilities in Texas: 

• Install approximately 66-miles of 

new 36-inch-diameter pipeline lateral 

from Wharton County, Texas to the 

existing Freeport Liquefied Natural Gas 

Stratton Ridge meter site in Brazoria 

County; 

• construct one new gas-fired 83,597 

horsepower (hp) Wilson Compressor 

Station in Wharton County; 

• construct one new electric motordriven 26,400-hp Brazos Compressor 

Station in Fort Bend County; 

• construct one new electric motordriven 10,700-hp North Houston 

Compressor Station in Harris County; 

• install piping modifications at the 

existing Goodrich Compressor Station in 

Polk County to allow for bi-directional 

flow; and 

• install additional gas-fired 15,748- 

hp compressor unit and modifications at 

the former Magasco Compressor Station 

in Sabine County to allow for bidirectional flow. 

The FERC staff mailed copies of the 

EA to federal, state, and local 

government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American tribes; 

potentially affected landowners and 

other interested individuals and groups; 

libraries in the project area; and parties 

to this proceeding. In addition, the EA 

is available for public viewing on the 

FERC’s Web site (www.ferc.gov) using 

the eLibrary link. A limited number of 

copies of the EA are available for 

distribution and public inspection at: 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 

Public Reference Room, 888 First Street 

NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, 

(202) 502–8371. 

Any person wishing to comment on 

the EA may do so. Your comments 

should focus on the 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 that the 

Commission has the opportunity to 

consider your comments prior to 

making its decision on this project, it is 

important that we receive your 

comments in Washington, DC on or 

before February 29, 2016. 

For your convenience, there are three 

methods you can use to file your 

comments with the Commission. In all 

instances, please reference the project 

docket number (CP15–517–000) with 

your submission. The Commission 

encourages electronic filing of 

comments and has expert staff available 

to assist you at 202–502–8258 or 

efiling@ferc.gov. 

(1) You can file your comments 

electronically using the eComment 

feature located on the Commission’s 

Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the link 

to Documents and Filings. This is an 

easy method for submitting brief, textonly comments on a project; 

(2) You can also file your comments 

electronically using the eFiling feature 

on the Commission’s Web site 

(www.ferc.gov) under the link to 

Documents and Filings. 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.’’ You must select 

the type of filing you are making. If you 

are filing a comment on a particular 

project, please select ‘‘Comment on a 

Filing’’; or 

(3) You can file a paper copy of your 

comments by mailing them to the 

following address: Kimberly D. Bose, 

Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, 888 First Street NE., Room 

1A, Washington, DC 20426. 

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 385.214).1 Only 

intervenors have the right to seek 

rehearing 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.

project is available from the 

Commission’s Office of External Affairs, 

at (866) 208–FERC, or on the FERC Web 

site (www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary

provides access to the texts of formal 

documents issued by the Commission, 

such as orders, notices, and 

rulemakings. 

In addition, the Commission offers a 

free service called eSubscription that 

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 www.ferc.gov/docsfiling/esubscription.asp.
