Atlantic Sunrise Project; Notice of Availability of Final General 
Conformity Analysis

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 
the Clean Air Act, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 
(Commission or FERC) regulations, Commission staff has prepared this 
final General Conformity Determination (GCD) for the Atlantic Sunrise 
Project (Project) proposed by Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Company, 
LLC (Transco).
    The FERC staff concludes that the Project would achieve conformity 
with the Pennsylvania State Implementation Plan in Lancaster County 
through the transfer of Emission Reduction Credits.
    The Project would involve the construction and operation of about 
199.4 miles of pipeline facilities and appurtenant aboveground 
facilities, including:
     185.9 miles of new natural gas pipeline in Columbia, 
Lancaster, Lebanon, Luzerne, Northumberland, Schuylkill, Susquehanna, 
and Wyoming Counties, Pennsylvania (58.7 miles of 30-inch-diameter and 
127.3 miles of 42-inch-diameter pipeline);
     11.0 miles of new pipeline looping in Clinton and Lycoming 
Counties, Pennsylvania (2.5 miles of 36-inch-diameter and 8.5 miles of 
42-inch-diameter pipeline);
     2.5 miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline replacements in 
Prince William County, Virginia;
     two new compressor stations in Columbia and Wyoming 
Counties, Pennsylvania (Compressor Stations 610 and 605);
     additional compression and related modifications to two 
existing compressor stations in Columbia and Lycoming Counties, 
Pennsylvania (Compressor Stations 517 and 520) and one in Howard 
County, Maryland (Compressor Station 190);
     other modifications would be taking place at Compressor 
Stations 145, 150, 155, 160, 170, 185, and 190 across Maryland, North 
Carolina, and Virginia;
     two new meter stations and three new regulator stations 
would be constructed and operated in Pennsylvania. There would also be 
modifications at an existing meter station, and the construction and 
operation of additional ancillary facilities would occur in 
Pennsylvania; and
     in North Carolina and South Carolina, supplemental 
odorization, odor detection, and/or odor masking/deodorization 
equipment would be installed at 56 meter stations, regulator stations, 
and ancillary facilities.
    For additional information on the Project, the public can view the 
final environmental impact statement on our Web site at https://www.ferc.gov/industries/gas/enviro/eis/2016/12-30-16-FEIS.asp. The 
complete final General Conformity Determination, which also contains 
our responses to public comments on the draft General Conformity 
Determination, may be found on FERC's elibrary system under the above 
referenced Docket number.

502-8097 or by email at [email protected].
