The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will discuss the environmental impacts of constructing and operating Wyoming Interstate Company, Ltd.’s (WIC) proposed Medicine Bow Expansion Project. The proposed Medicine Bow Expansion Project includes installation of one 24,930-horsepower (hp) turbine compressor unit with ancilliary facilities at the existing Douglas Compressor Station in Converse County, Wyoming, located on its Medicine Bow Pipeline System. The added compressor unit would enable WIC to create 330,000 dekatherms per day of additional capacity on its Medicine Bow Lateral System. WIC requests the Commission to grant its request by November 1, 2007 for a targeted inservice date of June 1, 2008. A map depicting WIC’s proposed facilities is provided in Appendix 1.1 Construction would take place completely within the fenced-in compressor station site on about 8 acres.

NEPA also requires the Commission to undertake a process to identify and address concerns the public may have about proposed projects. This process is commonly referred to as ‘‘scoping’’. The main goal of the ‘‘scoping’’ process is to identify public concerns and then address them in the environmental assessment. By this Notice of Intent, the Commission requests public comments on environmental issues that should be addressed in the environmental assessment. The Commission’s staff will prepare an environmental assessment that will discuss the potential environmental impacts resulting from the proposed project under the following general headings: • Geology and Soils. • Water Resources and Wetlands. • Fisheries, Vegetation and Wildlife. • Threatened and Endangered Species. • Air Quality and Noise. • Land Use. • Cultural Resources. • Pipeline safety and reliability. The Commission’s staff will also evaluate possible alternatives to the proposed project or portions of the project and make recommendations on how to lessen or avoid impacts to the identified environmental resources. Upon completion of the staff’s environmental assessment and depending on the issues identified and/ or comments received during the ‘‘scoping’’ process, the EA may be published and mailed to federal, state and local government agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups; affected landowners; other interested parties; local libraries and newspapers; and the Commission’s official service list for this proceeding. A 30-day comment period would be allotted for review of the EA if it is published. Staff would consider all comments submitted concerning the EA before making their recommendations to the Commission. To ensure your comments are considered, please carefully follow the instructions in the public participation section of this notice. Federal, state, or local agencies wishing to participate in the development of the environmental assessment may request ‘‘cooperating agency’’ status. Cooperating agencies are encouraged to participate in the scoping process and provide us with written comments concerning the proposed project. Cooperating agencies are also PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 welcome to suggest format and content changes that will make it easier for them to adopt the EA; however, we will decide what modifications will be adopted in light of our production constraints.
