government agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest
groups; affected landowners; other
interested parties; Native American
tribes; local newspapers and libraries;
and the FERC’s official service list for
this proceeding. A 30-day comment
period will be allotted for review of the
EA. We will consider all comments on
the EA in any Commission Order that is
issued for the project.
We have held early discussions with
other jurisdictional agencies to identify
their issues and concerns. These
agencies include the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Nashville District; Tennessee
Wildlife Resources Agency; and the
Tennessee Department of Environment
and Conservation, Divisions of Natural
Heritage and Water Pollution Control.
With this notice, we are asking these
and other federal, state, and local
agencies with jurisdiction and/or
special expertise with respect to
environmental issues to formally
cooperate with us in the preparation of
the EA. Agencies that would like to
request cooperating status should follow
the instructions for filing comments
provided below.
Public Participation
You can make a difference by
providing us with your specific
comments or concerns about the
proposal. Your comments should focus
on the potential environmental effects,
reasonable alternatives (including
alternative locations/routes), and
measures to avoid or lessen
environmental impact. The more
specific your comments, the more useful
they will be. To ensure that your
comments are timely and properly
recorded, please mail your comments so
that they will be received in
Washington, DC on or before March 3,
2005, and carefully follow these
instructions:
• Send an original and two copies of
your letter to: Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First St., NE., Room
1A, Washington, DC 20426;
• Label one copy of your comments
for the attention of Gas Branch 1; DG2E;
and
• Reference Docket No. PF05–2–000
on the original and both copies.
The public scoping meeting to be held
on February 24, 2005 in Gallatin, TN is
designed to provide another opportunity
to offer comments on the proposed
project. Interested groups and
individuals are encouraged to attend
this meeting and to present comments
on the environmental issues they
believe should be addressed in the EA.
Transcripts of the meeting will be made

so that your comments will be
accurately recorded.
Please note that the Commission
encourages electronic filing of
comments. See 18 Code of Federal
Regulations 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the
instructions on the Commission’s
Internet Web site at https://www.ferc.gov
under the ‘‘eFiling’’ link and the link to
the User’s Guide. Prepare your
submission in the same manner as you
would if filing on paper and save it to
a file on your hard drive. Before you can
file comments you will need to create an
account by clicking on ‘‘Login to File’’
and then ‘‘New User Account’’. You will
be asked to select the type of filing you
are making. This filing is considered a
‘‘Comment on Filing’’.
When MGT submits its application for
authorization to construct and operate
the MGT Eastern Extension Project, the
Commission will publish a Notice of
Application in the Federal Register and
will establish a deadline for interested
persons to intervene in the proceeding.
Because the Commission’s NEPA Prefiling Process occurs before an
application to begin a proceeding is
officially filed, petitions to intervene
during this process are premature and
will not be accepted by the Commission.
Environmental Mailing List
An effort is being made to send this
notice to all individuals, organizations,
and government entities interested in
and/or potentially affected by the
proposed project. This includes all
landowners who are potential right-ofway grantors, whose property may be
used temporarily for project purposes,
or who own homes within distances
defined in the Commission’s regulations
of certain above-ground facilities. If you
wish to remain on our environmental
mailing list, please return the
Information Request Form included in
Appendix 2. If you do not return this
form, you will be removed from our
mailing list.
Availability of Additional Information
A fact sheet prepared by the FERC
entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas
Facility On My Land? What Do I Need
To Know?’’ is also available for viewing
on the FERC Internet website. This fact
sheet addresses a number of typically
asked questions, including the use of
eminent domain and how to participate
in the Commission’s proceedings.
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 Internet Web site (https://

link on the FERC Internet Web site also
provides access to the texts of formal
documents issued by the Commission,
such as orders, notices, and rule
makings.
In addition, the FERC now offers a
free service called ‘‘eSubscription’’ that
allows you to keep track of all formal
issuances and submittals in specific
dockets. 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. To register for this service,
go to https://www.ferc.gov/

Finally, MGT has established an
Internet Web site for its project at
https://www.mgt.nborder.com. The Web
site includes a description of the
project, overview map, contact
information for MGT, and links to
related documents.
