potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of 
the Projects in accordance with the requirements of the National 
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The draft EIS was mailed to the 
parties on the Commission's environmental mailing list and placed on 
the FERC's Web site (www.ferc.gov).
    The Commission invites you to attend one of the public comment 
meetings its staff will conduct in the Projects' area to receive verbal 
comments on the draft EIS, scheduled as follows:

    We will begin our sign up of speakers at 5:30 p.m. The comments 
meetings will begin at 6:00 p.m. with a description of our 
environmental review process by Commission staff, after which speakers 
will be called. The meetings will end once all speakers have provided 
their comments or at 10 p.m., whichever comes first. Please note that 
there may be a time limit of three minutes to present comments, and 
speakers should structure their comments accordingly. If time limits 
are implemented, they will be strictly enforced to ensure that as many 
individuals as possible are given an opportunity to comment. The 
meetings will be recorded by a court reporter to ensure comments are 
accurately recorded. Transcripts will be entered into the formal record 
of the Commission proceeding.
    You do not need to attend one of the above comment meetings to 
provide comment to the Commission on the draft EIS. For your 
convenience, there are three additional methods you can use to submit 
your comments to the Commission. The Commission will provide equal 
consideration to all comments received, whether filed in written form 
or provided verbally. The Commission encourages electronic filing of 
comments and has expert staff available to assist you at (202) 502-8258 
or efiling@ferc.gov. Please carefully follow these instructions so that 
your comments are properly recorded.
    (1) You can file your comments electronically using the eComment 
feature on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the link to 
Documents and Filings. This is an easy method for submitting brief, 
text-only comments on a project;
    (2) You can file your comments electronically by using the eFiling 
feature on the Commission's Web site

[[Page 12896]]

(www.ferc.gov) under the link to Documents and Filings. With eFiling, 
you can provide comments in a variety of formats by attaching them as a 
file with your submission. New eFiling users must first create an 
account by clicking on ``eRegister.'' If you are filing a comment on a 
particular project, please select ``Comment on a Filing'' as the filing 
type; or
    (3) You can file a paper copy of your comments by mailing them to 
the following address. Be sure to reference the applicable project 
docket number (CP15-93-000, CP15-94-000, or CP15-96-000) with your 
submission: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, 888 First Street NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426.
    To ensure consideration of your comments on the proposals in the 
final EIS, it is important that the Commission receive your comments on 
or before April 11, 2016. Please take note that on February 26, 2016, 
Commission staff issued a correction to Appendix I-1 of the EIS and 
placed the document in the public record under accession number 
20160226-3005.
