Pursuant to section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 

within 90 days of this Notice the 

Commission staff will either: complete 

its environmental assessment (EA) and 

place it into the Commission’s public 

record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or 

issue a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review. If a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review is 

issued, it will indicate, among other 

milestones, the anticipated date for the 

Commission staff’s issuance of the final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

or EA for this proposal. The filing of the 

EA in the Commission’s public record 

for this proceeding or the issuance of a 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review will serve to notify federal and 

state agencies of the timing for the 

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to complete all 

federal authorizations within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s FEIS or EA. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

7 copies of filings made in the 

proceeding with the Commission and 

must mail a copy to the applicant and 

to every other party. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commentors will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commentors will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commentors 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests 

and interventions in lieu of paper using 

the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http://

www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file 

electronically should submit an original 

and 5 copies of the protest or 

intervention to the Federal Energy 

regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 

NE., Washington, DC 20426.

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP14–543–000] 

Notice of Availability of the 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Proposed Jackson Prairie Storage 

Facility Project; Puget Sound Energy, 

Inc. 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

Jackson Prairie Storage Facility Project 

proposed by Puget Sound Energy, Inc. 

(Puget Energy) in the above-referenced 

docket. Puget Energy requests 

authorization to construct, operate, and 

abandon certain facilities at its existing 

Jackson Prairie Storage Facility in Lewis 

County, Washington. 

The EA assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

Jackson Prairie Storage Facility Project 

in accordance with the requirements of 

the National Environmental Policy Act. 

The FERC 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 proposed project includes the 

following activities: 

• Permanently plug and abandon four 

gas wells (Well Nos. 1, 11, 31, and 47) 

that have not been used in several years 

and may contribute to cushion gas

migration from the principal storage 

zone (Zone 2) of the Jackson Prairie 

Storage Facility into the gas recapture 

zone (Zone 1); 

• renew the authorization to convert 

an observation well (Well No. 52) to a 

gas recycle well in Zone 1 and to build 

approximately 500 feet of 3-inchdiameter natural gas pipeline to tie Well 

No. 52 into a gathering pipeline; and 

• drill a new water withdrawal well 

(Well No. 91) and construct related 

facilities to continue normal 

maintenance water withdrawal. 

The FERC staff mailed copies of the 

EA to federal, state, and local 

government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; Native 

American tribes; potentially affected 

landowners and other interested 

individuals and groups; newspapers and 

libraries in the project area; and parties 

to this proceeding. In addition, the EA 

is available for public viewing on the 

FERC’s Web site (www.ferc.gov) using 

the eLibrary link. A limited number of 

copies of the EA are available for 

distribution and public inspection at: 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 

Public Reference Room, 888 First Street 

NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426,

Any person wishing to comment on 

the EA may do so. 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 the 

Commission has the opportunity to 

consider your comments prior to 

making its decision on this project, it is 

important that we receive your 

comments in Washington, DC on or 

before February 2, 2015.

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedures (18 CFR 385.214).1 Only 

intervenors have the right to seek 

rehearing of the Commission’s decision. 

The Commission grants affected 

landowners and others with 

environmental concerns intervenor 

status upon showing good cause by 

stating that they have a clear and direct 

interest in this proceeding which no 

other party can adequately represent.
