[Docket No. CP21-78-000]

ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of Availability of the Final 
Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Wisconsin Access 
Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) has prepared a final environmental impact statement (EIS) 
for the Wisconsin Access Project, proposed by ANR Pipeline Company 
(ANR) in the above-referenced docket. ANR requests authorization to 
modify seven existing meter stations in Oneida, Marathon, Oconto, and 
Manitowoc Counties, Wisconsin and increase firm transportation capacity 
on its pipeline by 50,707 dekatherms per day.
    The final EIS assesses the potential environmental effects of the 
construction and operation of the Wisconsin Access Project in 
accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy 
Act. FERC staff concludes that approval of the Project would not result 
in significant environmental impacts, with the exception of climate 
change impacts, where staff find the annual operation and downstream 
greenhouse gas emissions from the project would exceed the Commission's 
presumptive significance threshold based on 100 percent utilization.
    The final EIS addresses the potential environmental effects of the 
construction and operation of minor modifications to ANR's existing 
Coleman, Lena, Meeme, Mosinee, Rhinelander, Suring, and Two Rivers 
Meter Stations. The modifications include the replacement of some 
metering and filtering equipment, installation of additional metering 
equipment, and replacement of two meter station buildings at the Lena 
and Rhinelander Meter Stations.
    The Commission mailed a copy of the Notice of Availability of the 
Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Wisconsin Access Project 
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. The final EIS is only available in electronic format. It may be 
viewed and downloaded from the FERC's website (www.ferc.gov), on the 
natural gas environmental documents page (https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/natural-gas/environment/environmental-documents). In 
addition, the final EIS may be accessed by using the eLibrary link on 
the FERC's website. Click on the eLibrary link (https://elibrary.ferc.gov/eLibrary/search), select ``General Search,'' and
