Midship Pipeline Company, LLC; Notice of Availability of the 
Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Midcontinent 
Supply Header Interstate Pipeline Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) has prepared a final environmental impact statement (EIS) 
for the Midcontinent Supply Header Interstate Pipeline Project, 
proposed by Midship Pipeline Company, LLC (Midship Pipeline) in the 
above-referenced docket. Midship Pipeline requests authorization to 
construct and operate approximately 234.1 miles of new pipeline, three 
compressor stations, a booster station, and accompanying facilities in 
Oklahoma. The project would deliver an additional 1,440 million 
standard cubic feet per day of year-round firm transportation capacity 
from Kingfisher County, Oklahoma to existing natural gas pipelines near 
Bennington, Oklahoma for transport to growing Gulf Coast and Southeast 
Markets.
    The final EIS assesses the potential environmental effects of the 
construction and operation of the project in accordance with the 
requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The FERC 
staff concludes that approval of the project would result in some 
adverse environmental impacts; however, these impacts would be reduced 
to less-than-significant levels with the implementation of Midship 
Pipeline's proposed mitigation and the additional measures recommended 
in the final EIS.
    The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency participated as a 
cooperating agency in the preparation of the EIS. 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 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency provided input to 
the conclusions and recommendations presented in the final EIS.
    The final EIS addresses the potential environmental effects of the 
construction and operation of the following proposed project facilities 
in Oklahoma:
     199.7 miles of new 36-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline 
in Kingfisher, Canadian, Grady, Garvin, Stephens, Carter, Johnston, and 
Bryan Counties;
     20.5 miles of new 30-inch-diameter pipeline lateral in 
Kingfisher County;
     13.8 miles of new 16-inch-diameter pipeline lateral in 
Stephens, Carter, and Garvin Counties;
     0.1 mile of new 24-inch-diameter tie-in piping in Canadian 
County;
     three new compressor stations and one new booster station 
in Canadian, Garvin, Bryan, and Stephens Counties; and
     eight new receipt meters, two new receipt taps, four new 
delivery meters, and appurtenant facilities.
    The FERC staff mailed copies of the EIS 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. Paper copy 
versions of Volume I of the EIS were mailed to those specifically 
requesting them; all recipients received a CD version containing both 
Volumes I and II of the EIS. In addition, the EIS is available for 
public viewing on the FERC's website (www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary 
link. A limited number of copies are 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.
