(USDA) Rural Development Utilities
Programs, hereinafter referred to as
Rural Development, intends to hold a
public scoping meeting and prepare an

to possible financial assistance to East
Texas Electric Cooperative (ETEC) of
Nacogdoches, Texas, for the proposed

simple cycle combustion turbine
generation station in San Jacinto
County, Texas. ETEC is requesting

financial assistance for the proposal.
DATES: USDA Rural Development will

house format in order to provide
information and solicit comments for
the preparation of an EA. The meeting
will be held on September 25, 2007,
from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Shepherd ISD

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ETEC is
constructing the Jacinto Peaking Power
Facility (JPPF), a 168 MW simple cycle
combustion turbine generation station,
in San Jacinto County, Texas. The
project is located approximately 5 miles
south of Shepherd and 2 miles east of
U.S. Highway 59. Construction on the
project is expected to commence in June
2008 with an expected completion date
of May 2009. The generation facility
will be constructed, owned, operated,
and maintained by ETEC.
The generation units at the JPPF will
consist of two (2) natural gas fired
combustion turbines that have a net
output of 84 MW each. The project will
require the construction of less than 500
feet of transmission line to interconnect
with Entergy’s existing 138 kV JacintoPoco transmission line that crosses the
property where the JPPF will be located.
The output of the JPPF will be used to
meet ETEC’s power and energy
requirements in east Texas, along with
providing added reliability and stability
to the region’s power and transmission
system.
Government agencies, private
organizations, and the public are invited
to participate in the planning and
analysis of the proposal. Representatives
from USDA Rural Development and
ETEC will be available at the scoping
meeting to discuss USDA Rural
Development’s environmental review
process, describe the project, the
purpose and need for the proposal, and
discuss the scope of environmental
issues to be considered, answer
questions, and accept oral and written
comments.
Comments received by the due date
will be incorporated into the
environmental analyses ETEC prepares
and submits to USDA Rural
Development for review. USDA Rural
Development will use the
environmental analyses to determine
the significance of the impacts of the
project and may adopt it as its EA of the
project. USDA Rural Development’s EA
of the proposal would be available for
review and comment for 30 days.
Should USDA Rural Development
determine that the preparation of an
Environmental Impact Statement is not
necessary, it will prepare a Finding of
