[Federal Register Volume 81, Number 94 (Monday, May 16, 2016)] [Notices] [Pages 30295-30296] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2016-11526] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. CP16-17-000] Millennium Pipeline Company, L.L.C.; Notice of Availability of the Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Valley Lateral Project The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared this Environmental Assessment (EA) of the Valley Lateral Project (Project) proposed by Millennium Pipeline Company, L.L.C. (Millennium) in the above-referenced docket. Millennium requests authorization to construct, operate, and maintain new natural gas facilities consisting of 7.9 miles of new, 16-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline extending from Millennium's existing mainline to the CPV Valley, LLC (CPV) Valley Energy Center in Orange County, New York. The Project would provide transportation capacity for 130,000 dekatherms per day (130 million cubic feet) of natural gas to serve the new 650 megawatt gas-powered CPV Valley Energy Center. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the Project in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. 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 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets participated as cooperating agencies in the preparation of the EA. Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to resources potentially affected by the proposal and participate in the NEPA analysis. The FERC staff mailed copies of the EA to federal, state, and local [[Page 30296]] 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 also available for distribution and public inspection at: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Public Reference Room, 888 First Street NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, (202) 502-8371. Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Your comments should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts. The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. To ensure that your comments are properly recorded and considered prior to a Commission decision on the proposal, it is important that the FERC receives your comments in Washington, DC, on or before June 8, 2016. For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to submit your comments to the Commission. In all instances, please reference the project docket number (CP16-17-000) with your submission. The Commission encourages electronic filing of comments and has dedicated eFiling expert staff available to assist you at 202-502-8258 or [email protected]. (1) You may file your comments electronically by using the eComment feature, which is located on the Commission's Web site at www.ferc.gov under the link to Documents and Filings. An eComment is an easy method for interested persons to submit brief, text-only comments on a project; (2) You may file your comments electronically by using the eFiling feature, which is located on the Commission's Web site at 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.'' You will be asked to select the type of filing you are making. A comment on a particular project is considered a ``Comment on a Filing''; or (3) You may file a paper copy of your comments at the following address: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426. Although your comments will be considered by the Commission, simply filing comments will not serve to make the commentor a party to the proceeding. Any person seeking to become a party to the proceeding must file a motion to intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedures (18 Code of Federal Regulations 385.214).\1\ Only intervenors have the right to seek rehearing of the Commission's decision. Affected landowners and parties with environmental concerns may be granted intervenor status upon showing good cause by stating that they have a clear and direct interest in this proceeding that would not be adequately represented by any other parties. You do not need intervenor status to have your comments considered. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ Interventions may also be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. See the previous discussion on filing comments electronically. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Additional information about the Project is available from the Commission's Office of External Affairs, at 1-866-208-FERC (3372), or on the FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link. Click on the eLibrary link, click on ``General Search,'' and enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the Docket Number field (i.e., CP16-17).
