Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 13, 2008 / Notices 47151 

authorized under section 7 of the 

Natural Gas Act. NEPA also requires us 

to discover and address concerns the 

public may have about proposals to be 

considered by the Commission. This 

process is referred to as ‘‘scoping.’’ The 

main goal of the scoping process is to 

focus the analysis in the EA on the 

important environmental issues. With 

this Notice of Intent, the Commission 

staff is requesting public comments on 

the scope of the issues to be addressed 

in the EA. All comments received will 

be considered during preparation of the 

EA. 

In the EA we will discuss impacts that 

could occur as a result of the 

construction and operation of the 

proposed project under these general 

headings: 

• Geology and soils; 

• land use; 

• water resources, fisheries, and 

wetlands; 

• cultural resources; 

• vegetation and wildlife; 

• threatened and endangered species; 

• air quality and noise; 

• hazardous waste; and 

• public safety. 

In the EA, we will also evaluate 

possible alternatives to the proposed 

projects or portions of the projects, and 

make recommendations on how to 

lessen or avoid impacts on affected 

resources. 

Although no formal application has 

been filed, the FERC staff has already 

initiated its NEPA review under its 

NEPA Pre-filing Process. The purpose of 

the Pre-filing Process is to encourage the 

early involvement of interested 

stakeholders and to identify and resolve 

issues before an application is filed with 

the FERC. 

Public Participation 

You can make a difference by 

providing us with your specific 

comments or concerns about SSEIII 

Project. 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 

your comments are timely and properly 

recorded, please send in your comments 

so that they will be received in 

Washington, DC on or before September 

8, 2008. 

For your convenience, there are three 

methods which you can use to submit 

your comments to the Commission. In 

all instances please reference the project 

docket number, PF08–13–000, with 

your submission. The Commission 

encourages electronic filing of 

comments and has dedicated eFiling 

expert staff available to assist you at 

202–502–8258 or efiling@ferc.gov. 

(1) You may file your comments 

electronically by using the Quick 

Comment feature, which is located on 

the Commission’s internet Web site at 

http://www.ferc.gov under the link to 

Documents and Filings. A Quick 

Comment is an easy method for 

interested persons to submit text-only 

comments on a project; 

(2) You may file your comments 

electronically by using the eFiling 

feature, which is located on the 

Commission’s internet Web site at 

http://www.ferc.gov under the link to 

Documents and Filings. eFiling involves 

preparing your submission in the same 

manner as you would if filing on paper, 

and then saving the file on your 

computer’s hard drive. You will attach 

that file as your submission. New 

eFiling users must first create an 

account by clicking on ‘‘Sign up’’ or 

‘‘eRegister.’’ You will be asked to select 

the type of filing you are making. A 

comment on a particular project is 

considered a ‘‘Comment on a Filing;’’ or 

(3) You may file your comments via 

mail to the Commission by sending an 

original and two copies of your letter to: 

Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First St., NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC 

20426. 

Label one copy of the comments for 

the attention of Gas Branch 2, PJ11.2. 

We might mail the EA for comment.

please return the Information Request
