of a pipeline that would be 12 or 16 inches in diameter and 
approximately 400 miles in length. The proposed project is known as the 
Mid-American Pipeline Company Four Corners Loop Project. The 
environmental document is being prepared as an environmental

supplementary information: Pursuant to Section 28 of the Mineral 
Leasing Act of 1920 (30 U.S.C.), as amended by the Act of November 16, 
1973 (37 Stat. 567), the Mid-America Pipeline Company has applied for a 
right-of-way, serial number NMNM93652, for the construction, operation, 
and maintenance of a pipeline. The proposed project crosses Federal, 
State, Indian, and private land. The pipeline starts at the Chaco Pump 
Station approximately 12 miles south of Farmington, New Mexico and ends 
at the Mid-American Pipeline Company Hobbs Pump Station located in 
Texas southeast of Hobbs, New Mexico. The proposed project will 
parallel existing pipelines for most of its length except as dictated 
by resource conflicts. The pipeline is designed to transport 50,000 
barrels of natural gas liquids per day. Maps of the Mid-America 
Pipeline Company proposed route are available for viewing at the Bureau
