[Docket No. CP21-113-000]

Alliance Pipeline, L.P.; Notice Suspending Environmental Review 
Schedule of the Proposed Three Rivers Interconnection Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) is suspending the environmental review schedule of the 
Three Rivers Interconnection Project (Project) involving construction 
and operation of facilities by Alliance Pipeline, L.P. (Alliance) in 
Grundy County, Illinois. The Notice of Intent to Prepare an 
Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Three Rivers 
Interconnection Project, Request for Comments on Environmental Issues, 
and Schedule for Environmental Review, issued on February 10, 2022, 
identified a September 16, 2022 final Environmental Impact Statement 
(EIS) issuance date. As stated in the notice, the Project would be 
located in the vicinity of a facility regulated by the Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission which could require the completion of a safety 
analysis, and additional time may be necessary to consider the results 
of that analysis.
    In its most recent response to FERC staff's request concerning the 
status of this safety analysis, Alliance stated that it anticipated 
that the operator of the nearby nuclear facility (Constellation Energy 
Generation, LLC) would finalize the required safety analysis by the end 
of August 2022. However, to date, the safety analysis remains 
outstanding.
    Therefore, the Commission will suspend the environmental review 
schedule for the Project. Once Alliance provides the outstanding 
information, the Commission will issue a revised schedule for the final 
EIS. This is not a suspension of the Commission staff's review of the 
Project. Staff will continue to process Alliance's proposal to the 
extent possible based upon the information filed to date while awaiting 
the remaining information.
