[Docket No. CP17-46-000]


Southern Natural Gas Company, LLC; Notice of Schedule for 
Environmental Review of the Fairburn Expansion Project

    On February 3, 2017, Southern Natural Gas Company, LLC (Southern) 
filed an application in Docket No. CP17-46-000 requesting a Certificate 
of Public Convenience and Necessity pursuant to section 7(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act to construct and operate certain natural gas pipeline 
facilities. The proposed project is known as the Fairburn Expansion 
Project, and would add 343,164 dekatherms per day of firm 
transportation service to its existing pipeline system.
    On February 17, 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: August 18, 2017.
    90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline: November 16, 2017.
    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

    Southern would upgrade and construct certain compression and 
pipeline facilities in Fayetteville and Fulton Counties, Georgia 
(including installing a new 4.9-mile-long 30-inch-diameter Fairburn 
Lateral and the new 18,000-horsepower electric Fairburn Compressor 
Station); and Clayton and Cobb Counties Georgia.

Background

    On March 20, 2017, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent To 
Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Fairburn Expansion 
Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues (NOI). The NOI 
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 
comments from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and five 
landowners. The primary issues raised by the commentors are safety and 
residential impacts during construction, and operational safety in 
association with electric power line collocation.
    The EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 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/docs-filing/esubscription.asp.
    Additional information about the Project is available from the 
Commission's Office of External Affairs at (866) 208-FERC or on the 
FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov). Using the eLibrary link, select General 
Search from the eLibrary menu, enter the selected date range and Docket 
Number excluding the last three digits (i.e., CP17-47), and follow the 
instructions. For assistance with access to eLibrary, the helpline can 
be reached at (866) 208-3676, TTY (202) 502-8659, or at 
[email protected]. 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.
