published and mailed to Federal, state,

and local agencies, public interest

groups, interested individuals, affected

landowners, newspapers, libraries, and

the Commission’s official service list for

this proceeding. A comment period will

be allotted for review if the EA is

published. We will consider all

comments on the EA before we

recommend that the Commission

approve or not approve the project.

Currently Identified Environmental

Issues

We have already identified a number

of issues that we think deserve

attention, based on a preliminary review

of the proposed facilities and the

environmental information provided by

KN. Keep in mind that this is a

preliminary list. The list of issues may

be added to, subtracted from, or

changed based on your comments and

our analysis. The currently identified

issues are:

• The construction of new pipeline

could affect seven separate wetlands.

• The project could cross habitat of

the piping plover, least tern, bald eagle,

whooping crane, peregrine falcon,

black-footed ferret, pallid sturgeon (all

federally listed endangered species),

and the mountain plover (a category 2

candidate species).

• Construction of a 2,000-hp

compressor at the Guernsey Compressor

Station may increase ambient noise

levels in the vicinity of the compressor

station.

• About 2.5 miles of the pipeline are

proposed to cross the Old Fort

Fetterman Reservation, a historic site

established in 1867.

Public Participation

You can make a difference by sending

a letter addressing your specific

comments or concerns about the project.

You should focus on the potential

environmental effects of the proposal,

alternatives to the proposal (including

alternative routes), and measures to

avoid or lessen environmental impact.

The more specific your comments, the

more useful they will be. Please follow

the instructions below to ensure that

your comments are received and

properly recorded:

• Address your letter to: Lois Cashell,

Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, 825 North Capitol St.,

N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426;

• Reference Docket No. CP95–113–

000;

• Send a copy of your letter to: Mr.

Bob Kopka, EA Project Manager, Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 825

North Capitol St., N.E., Room 7312,

Washington, D.C. 20426; and

• Mail your comments so they will be

received in Washington D.C. on or

before April 7, 1995.

If you wish to receive a copy of the

EA, you should request one from Mr.

Kopka at the above address.

Becoming an Intervenor

In addition to involvement in the EA

scoping process, you may want to

become an official party to the

proceeding or an ‘‘intervenor.’’ Among

other things, intervenors have the right

to receive copies of case-related

Commission documents and filings by

other intervenors. Likewise, each

intervenor must provide copies of its

filings to all other parties. If you want

to become an intervenor you must file

a motion to intervene according to Rule

214 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

385.214) (see appendix 2).

The date for filing timely motions to

intervene in this proceeding has passed.

Therefore, parties now seeking to file

late interventions must show good

cause, as required by section

385.214(b)(3), why this time limitation

should be waived. In certain cases,

environmental issues have been viewed

as good cause for late intervention. You

do not need intervenor status to have

your scoping comments considered.

Additional information about the

proposed project is available from Mr.

Bob Kopka, EA Project Manager, at (202)

BILLING CODE 6717–01–M

Yukon Pacific Company L.P.; Notice of

Availability of the Final Environmental

Impact Statement for the Yukon Pacific

LNG Project

March 6, 1995

The staff of the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission (FERC or

Commission) has made available a final

environmental impact statement (FEIS)

on the construction and operation of the

liquefied natural gas (LNG) liquefaction

plant, LNG storage and marine loading

facilities, and LNG tanker transport

proposed in the above referenced

docket.

The staff prepared the FEIS to satisfy

the requirements of the National

Environmental Policy Act. The staff

concludes that approval of the proposed

action, with appropriate mitigating

measures as recommended, including

receipt of necessary permits and

approvals, would have limited adverse

environmental impact. The FEIS

evaluates alternative to various

components of the proposals.

Yukon Pacific Company L.P. (Yukon

Pacific) is seeking approval of a specific

site at Anderson Bay, Port Valdez,

Alaska to export LNG to destinations in

Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. The proposed

action involves construction of:

• A 2.1 billion cubic feet per day LNG

liquefaction plant.

• Four aboveground 800,000-barrel

LNG storage tanks;

• A marine facility to load two

tankers within a 12-hour period; and

• A cargo/personnel ferry docking

facility.

In addition, Yukon Pacific proposes to

operate a fleet of 15 LNG tankers, each

having 125,000 cubic meters of cargo

capacity. The fleet would make 275

trips per year. Construction of the

project would take 8 years with a peak

work force of nearly 4,000 workers in

the fifth year.

The FEIS will be used in the

regulatory decision-making process at

the FERC. While the period for filing

interventions in this case has expired,

motions to intervene out-of-time can be

filed with the FERC in accordance with

the Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedures, 18 CFR 385.214(d). Further,

anyone desiring to file a protest with the

FERC should do so in accordance with

18 CFR 385.211.

The FEIS has been placed in the

public files of the FERC and is available

for public inspection at: Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, Public

Reference and Files Maintenance

Branch, 941 North Capitol Street, NE.,

Room 3104, Washington, DC 20426,

(202) 208–1371.

Copies of the FEIS have been mailed

to Federal, state, and local agencies,

public interest groups, libraries,

newspapers, individuals who have

requested the FEIS, and other parties to

this proceeding.

Limited copies of the FEIS are

available from:

Manger, Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, 825 North Capital Street,
