construction and operation of the 

Project in accordance with 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 proposed Project includes the 

following facilities: 

• A 0.5-mile-long new pipeline lateral 

(BIG Interconnect) connecting the 

proposed new Angleton Compressor 

Station to the existing BIG Pipeline in 

Brazoria County, Texas; 

• the new Angleton Compressor 

Station, a 12,500 horsepower 

electrically-powered compressor station 

in Brazoria County, Texas; 

• pressure regulation modifications at 

the existing Joaquin Compressor Station 

in Shelby County, Texas; 

• installation of Clean Burn 

technologies at the existing Mont 

Belvieu Compressor Station in 

Chambers County, Texas; 

• modifications to existing pig 1

launchers at the existing Huntsville 

Compressor Station, in San Jacinto 

County, Texas; and Hempstead 

Compressor Station in Waller County, 

Texas; 

• modifications to an existing pig 

launcher/receiver, facility crossover 

piping and a valve at the existing 

Provident City Station in Lavaca 

County, Texas: 

• a new aboveground wire-line 

launcher/receiver assembly site and 

interconnect valve site near milepost 0.5 

of the BIG Interconnect Pipeline in 

Brazoria County, Texas; and 

• replacement of existing 16-inchdiameter crossover piping and valve 

with new 24-inch-diameter crossover 

piping and valve at an existing facility 

in Lavaca County, Texas. 

The FERC staff mailed copies of the 

EA to federal, state, and local 

government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American tribes; 

potentially affected landowners and 

other interested individuals and groups; 

and newspapers and libraries in the 

project area. 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:

intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedures (18 CFR 385.214).2 Only

will not give you intervenor status, but 

you do not need intervenor status to 

have your comments considered.

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP17–409–000] 

DTE Midstream Appalachia, LLC; 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review of the Birdsboro Pipeline 

Project 

On May 1, 2017, DTE Midstream 

Appalachia, LLC (DTE) filed an 

application in Docket No. CP17–409– 

000 requesting a Certificate of Public 

Convenience and Necessity pursuant to 

Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act to 

construct and operate certain natural gas 

pipeline facilities. The proposed project 

is known as the Birdsboro Pipeline 

Project (Project), and would provide 

approximately 79 million cubic feet per 

day of firm transportation service from 

an interconnect with the Texas Eastern 

Transmission Company pipeline system 

to the Birdsboro Power Facility in 

Birdsboro, Pennsylvania. 

On May 9, 2017, the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission or 

FERC) issued its Notice of Application 

for the Project. Among other things, that 

notice alerted agencies issuing federal 

authorizations of the requirement to 

complete all necessary reviews and to 

reach a final decision on a request for 

a federal authorization within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s Environmental Assessment (EA) 

for the Project. This instant notice 

identifies the FERC staff’s planned 

schedule for the completion of the EA 

for the Project. 

Schedule for Environmental Review 

Issuance of EA—November 15, 2017 

90-day Federal Authorization Decision 

Deadline—February 13, 2018 

If a schedule change becomes 

necessary, additional notice will be 

provided so that the relevant agencies 

are kept informed of the Project’s 

progress. 

Project Description 

DTE is seeking to construct and 

operate approximately 13.2 miles of 12- 

inch-diameter natural gas transmission 

pipeline in Berks County, Pennsylvania. 

The Project would also involve 

construction of a new meter station and 

appurtenant facilities. The Project 

would deliver firm transportation 

service from an interconnect with the 

Texas Eastern Transmission Company 

pipeline system in Rockland Township 

to the Birdsboro Power Facility in the 

Borough of Birdsboro. 

Background 

On January 18, 2017, the Commission 

issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Planned Birdsboro Pipeline Project, and 

Request for Comments on 

Environmental Issues, and Notice of 

Public Scoping Session (NOI). The NOI 

was issued during the pre-filing review 

of the Project in Docket No. PF17–1–000 

and was sent to affected landowners; 

federal, state, and local government 

agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American tribes; other 

interested parties; and local libraries 

and newspapers. In response to the NOI, 

the Commission received comments 

from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 

the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency, the Stockbridge Munsee Tribal 

Historic Preservation Officer, the 

Pennsylvania Department of 

Environmental Protection, the 

Pennsylvania Game Commission, Berks 

County, and multiple non-governmental 

organizations and members of the 

public. The primary issues raised by the 

commentors are cultural and historic 

resources, including the Oley Township 

Historic District; construction of the 

non-jurisdictional Birdsboro Power 

Plant; geologic concerns, including karst 

terrain and blasting at an existing 

quarry; and impacts on streams, 

wetlands, and wildlife habitat. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

and the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency are cooperating agencies in the 

preparation of the EA. 

Additional Information 

In order to receive notification of the 

issuance of the EA and to keep track of 

all formal issuances and submittals in 

specific dockets, the Commission offers 

a free service called eSubscription. This 

can reduce the amount of time you
