[Docket No. CP96–201–000]

Algonquin Gas Transmission

Company; Notice of Availability of the

Environmental Assessment for the

Proposed Middletown Lateral Project

July 2, 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 Algonquin Gas Transmission

Company (Algonquin) in the abovereferenced docket.

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 pipeline facilities including:

• 8.4 miles of 20-inch-diameter

pipeline (the Middletown Lateral) from

Algonquin’s existing mainline system in

Glastonbury, Hartford County,

Connecticut to The Connecticut Light

and Power Company’s (CL&P) electric

generating station in Middletown,

Middlesex County, Connecticut

(Middletown Plant);

• A meter station; and.

• A tap value site and appurtenant

facilities.

CL&P would construct

nonjurisdictional facilities consisting of

approximately 1,500 feet of piping, a

regulator station, and burner conversion

equipment. All of CL&P’s facilities

would be constructed within its plant

site.

The purpose of the proposed facilities

would be to provide up to 82,500

million British thermal units of gas per

day to CL&P for use as an alternate fuel

for Unit Nos. 2 and 3 at its Middletown

Plant.

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, N.E.,

Washington, DC 20426, (202) 208–1371.

Copies of the EA have been mailed to

Federal, state and local agencies, public

interest groups, interested individuals,

newspapers, and parties to this

proceeding.

A limited number of copies of the EA

are available from: Mr. John

Wisniewski, Environmental Project

Manager, Environmental Review and

Compliance Branch II, Office of Pipeline

Regulation, PR–11.2, 888 First Street,

N.E., Washington, DC 20426, (202) 208–

0896.

Any person wishing to comment on

the EA may do so. Written comments

must reference Docket No. CP96–201–

000, and be addressed to: Office of the

Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, 888 First Street, N.E.,

Washington, D.C. 20426.

Comments should be filed as soon as

possible, but must be received no later

than August 1, 1996, to ensure

consideration prior to a Commission

decision on this proposal. A copy of any

comments should also be sent to Mr.

John Wisniewski, 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

later 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. John

Wisniewski, Environmental Project

Manager.

Lois D. Cashell,

Secretary.
