Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 99 / Tuesday, May 26, 2009 / Notices 24841 

recently constructed large diameter (42- 

inch) natural gas pipelines in the 

proposed project area utilized a nominal 

100-foot-wide construction right-of-way 

width in uplands and 75-foot-wide 

construction right-of-way in wetlands 

with additional temporary workspace, 

as required for specific construction 

requirements or techniques. ETC Tiger 

has proposed a range of right-of-way 

widths: 125 to 150 feet in uplands, 

depending on land use; and 75 to 125 

feet in wetlands, depending on cover 

type and length of wetland crossing. We 

will be evaluating ETC Tiger’s proposed 

construction right-of-way width 

configurations and justification and 

encourage your comments on this issue. 

A complete summary of the proposed 

right-of-way widths can be found in 

Appendix 1C of ETC Tiger’s draft 

resource report 1 which can be obtained 

on the Commission’s Web site through 

the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.

Becoming an Intervenor 

Once ETC Tiger formally files its 

application with the Commission you 

may want to become an ‘‘intervenor,’’ 

which is an official party to the 

proceeding. Intervenors play a more 

formal role in the process and are able 

to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be 

heard by the courts if they choose to 

appeal the Commission’s final ruling. 

An intervenor formally participates in a 

Commission proceeding by filing a 

request to intervene. Instructions for 

becoming an intervenor are included in 

the User’s Guide under the ‘‘eFiling’’ 

link on the Commission’s Web site. 

Please note that you may not request 

intervenor status at this time. You must 

wait until a formal application is filed 

with the Commission. 

Environmental Mailing List 

Everyone who responds to this notice 

or provides comments throughout the 

EA process will be retained on the 

mailing list. If you do not want to send 

comments at this time but want to stay 

informed and receive a copy of the EA, 

you must return the Mailing List 

Retention Form (Appendix 2). If you do 

not send comments or return the 

Mailing List Retention Form asking to 

remain on the mailing list, you will be 

taken off the mailing list.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP08–465–000] 

ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of 

Availability of the Environmental 

Assessment for the Proposed 

Wisconsin 2009 Expansion Project 

May 15, 2009. 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) of the 

Wisconsin 2009 Expansion Project 

proposed by ANR Pipeline Company 

(ANR) in the above-referenced docket. 

24842 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 99 / Tuesday, May 26, 2009 / Notices 

The EA was prepared to satisfy the 

requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). 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 FERC is the lead agency for the 

preparation of the EA. The United States 

Environmental Protection Agency is a 

cooperating agency for the development 

of the EA. A cooperating agency has 

jurisdiction by law or special expertise 

with respect to the proposed action and 

participates in the NEPA analysis. 

The EA assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

proposed Wisconsin 2009 Expansion 

Project that includes the following 

facilities in Wisconsin: 

• Construction of about 8.9 miles of 

30-inch-diameter pipeline loop 

(Janesville Loop) in Rock County; 

• Relocation of an existing pig 

receiver and appurtenances to the 

existing Janesville Compressor Station 

in Rock County; 

• Installation of a new control valve 

at the existing Marshfield Compressor 

Station in Wood County, and Fairwater 

Meter Station in Columbia County; and 

• Upgrading the existing Marshfield, 

North Wausau, and Randolph Meter 

Stations in Wood, Marathon, and 

Columbia Counties, respectively. 

According to ANR, the purpose of the 

project is to accommodate the growing 

demand for natural gas on ANR’s system 

and provide about 97,880,000 

dekatherms per day of incremental firm 

capacity. 

The EA has been placed in the public 

files of the FERC. 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, 

(202) 502–8371. 

Copies of the EA have been mailed to 

federal, state, and local agencies, public 

interest groups, interested individuals, 

newspapers and libraries in the project 

area, and parties to this proceeding. Any 

person wishing to comment on the EA 

may do so. To ensure consideration 

prior to a Commission decision on the 

proposal, it is important that we receive 

your comments before the date specified 

below. 

You can make a difference by 

providing us with your specific 

comments or concerns about the 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

attention of Gas Branch 3, PJ11.3. Mail 

your comments promptly, so that they 

will be received in Washington, DC on 

or before June 15, 2009. 

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). Only intervenors have the 

right to seek rehearing of the 

Commission’s decision. Further 

instructions for becoming an intervenor 

are included in the User’s Guide under 

the ‘‘e-filing’’ link on the Commission’s 

Web site (http://www.ferc.gov). 

Affected landowners and parties with 

environmental concerns may be granted 

intervenor status upon showing good 

cause by stating that they have a clear 

and direct interest in this proceeding 

which would not be adequately 

represented by any other parties. You do 

not need intervenor status to have your 

comments considered.
