DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP17–471–000] 

Paiute Pipeline Company; Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review of 

the 2018 Expansion Project 

On July 5, 2017, Paiute Pipeline 

Company (Paiute) filed an application 

in Docket No. CP17–471–000 requesting 

a Certificate of Public Convenience and 

Necessity pursuant to Sections 7(b) and 

(c) of the Natural Gas Act to abandon 

and construct certain natural gas 

pipeline facilities. The proposed project 

is known as the 2018 Expansion Project 

(Project), and would provide 4,604 

dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of new 

transportation capacity, and shift an 

additional 1,031 Dth/d of current 

transportation capacity to a delivery 

point further downstream. 

On July 19, 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 27, 2017. 

90-day Federal Authorization Decision 

Deadline—February 25, 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 

The Project would involve 

construction and replacement of 

approximately 8.46 miles of pipeline to 

upsize or loop four segments of Paiute’s 

Carson and South Tahoe Laterals in 

Douglas and Lyon Counties and Carson 

City, Nevada. For the two segments 

where pipeline would be replaced, 

portions of the existing pipeline would 

be abandoned in-place and by removal. 

Background 

On January 26, 2017, the Commission 

issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Planned 2018 Expansion Project and 

Request for Comments on 

Environmental Issues (NOI). The NOI 

was issued during the pre-filing review 

of the Project in Docket No. PF17–2 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 a 

total of four comment letters from the 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the 

Nevada State Clearinghouse, the 

Teamsters National Pipeline Training 

Fund, and one individual. The scoping 

comments pertained to permitting and 

consultation processes, information on 

union pipeline contractors, potential 

effects on the Carson River and other 

state of Nevada properties, air quality 

(dust), and stormwater drainage. 

The Bureau of Land Management and 

the Consolidated Municipality of Carson 

City, Nevada 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 

spend researching proceedings by 

automatically providing you with 

notification of these filings, document 

summaries, and direct links to the 

documents. Go to www.ferc.gov/docsfiling/esubscription.asp. 

Additional information about the 

Project is available from the 

Commission’s Office of External Affairs

link, select General Search from the

with access to eLibrary, the helpline can 

be reached at (866) 208–3676, TTY (202) 

502–8659, or at FERCOnlineSupport@

ferc.gov. The eLibrary link on the FERC 

Web site also provides access to the 

texts of formal documents issued by the 

Commission, such as orders, notices, 

and rule makings.

Amendment 

On May 17, 2017, the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission or
