Great Lakes Gas Transmission Limited

Partnership; Notice of Availability of

the Environmental Assessment for the

Proposed St. Clair River Crossing

Project

June 7, 1996.

The staff of the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission (FERC or

Commission) has prepared an

environmental assessment (EA) on the

natural gas pipeline facilities proposed

by Great Lakes Gas Transmission

Limited Partnership (Great Lakes) in the

above-referenced dockets.

The EA was prepared to satisfy the

requirements of the National

Environmental Policy Act. The 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 EA assesses the potential

environmental effects of the

construction and operation of the

proposed St. Clair River crossing and

related aboveground facilities including:

• About 1,500 feet of 36-inchdiameter pipeline to be directionally

drilled under the St. Clair River, and

• An aboveground pig launcher and

mainline valve adjacent to Great Lakes’

existing facilities in the area.

The proposed facilities at the

international border between the United

States and Canada, in St. Clair County,

Michigan would interconnect with the

facilities of TransCanada Pipelines

Limited (TransCanada) in Canada. The

purpose of the proposed facilities would

be to provide security and reliability to

Great Lakes’ river crossing facilities in

this area and to provide 50,000

thousand cubic feet per day of firm

winter transportation service to

TransCanada.

The EA 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, 888 First Street, NE.,

Washington, DC 20426 (202) 208–1371.

Copies of the EA have been mailed to

Federal, state and local agencies,

interested individuals, and parties to

this proceeding.
30060 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 115 / Thursday, June 13, 1996 / Notices

A limited number of copies of the EA

are available from: Mr. Howard

Wheeler, Environmental Project

Manager, Environmental Review and

Compliance Branch II, Office of Pipeline

Regulation, PR–11.2, 888 First Street,

NE., Washington, DC 20426 (202) 208–

2299.

Any person wishing to comment on

the EA may do so. Written comments

must reference Docket No. CP96–26–

000, and be addressed to: Office of the

Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,

Washington, DC 20426.

Comments should be filed as soon as

possible, but must be received no later

than July 8, 1996, to ensure

consideration prior to a Commission

decision on this proposal. A copy of any

comments should also be sent to Mr.

Howard Wheeler, Environmental Project

Manager, PR–11.2, at the above address.

Comments will be considered by the

Commission but will not serve to make

the commentor a party to the

proceeding. 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).

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. Environmental issues

have been viewed as good cause for late

intervention. You do not need

intervenor status to have your

comments considered.

Additional information about this

project is available from Mr. Howard

Wheeler, Environmental Project

Manager.

Williams Natural Gas Company, et al.;

Natural Gas Certificate Filings

June 5, 1996.

Take notice that the following filings

have been made with the Commission:

1. Williams Natural Gas Company

[Docket No. CP96–547–000]

Take notice that on May 29, 1996,

Williams Natural Gas Company (WNG),

P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101,

filed in Docket No. CP96–547–000 a

request pursuant to Sections 157.205,

157.212 and 157.216 of the

Commission’s Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205,

157.212 and 157.216) for authorization

to utilize facilities originally installed

for the delivery of NGPA Section 311

transportation gas to Missouri Gas

Energy (MGE) for purposes other than

NGPA Section 311 transportation, to

abandon by reclaim the original

Higginsville town border station, and to

abandon by sale to MGE approximately

1.4 miles of 6-inch lateral pipeline, all

located in Lafayette County, Missouri,

under WNG’s blanket certificate issued

in Docket No. CP82–479–000 pursuant

to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all

as more fully set forth in the request that

is on file with the Commission and open

to public inspection.

WNG proposes to utilize existing

NGPA Section 311 transportation

facilities for other deliveries of gas to

MGE to serve both the town of

Higginsville and a 50 megawatt turbine

at a new power plant. WNG states that

the facilities consist of a 6-inch tap, a 4-

run, multi-size orifice meter tube

setting, regulation, and appurtenances.

WNG states that the facilities were

installed in April, 1996 to replace the

town border facilities originally

installed in 1937. WNG states that the

new tap is located off of WNG’s 10-inch

Line XTB at the site of WNG’s existing

Higginsville gate. WNG states that the

installation of the new tap at the site of

the Higginsville gate allows WNG to sell

to MGE approximately 1.4 miles of 6-

inch pipeline XTB–2 located

downstream of the existing Higginsville

setting.

WNG states that the combined peak

day summer deliveries for the power

plant and the town border are expected

to be approximately 14,921 Dth with the

power plant operating from June

through September. WNG states that the

peak day winter deliveries to the town

have historically been approximately

3,413 Dth. WNG states that the

operation of the new town border

facilities will have no impact on WNG’s

peak day or annual deliveries, and that

WNG has sufficient capacity to

accomplish the delivery specified

without detriment or disadvantage to its

other customers.

Comment date: July 22, 1996, in

accordance with Standard Paragraph G

at the end of this notice.
