The environmental staffs of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC); the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM); the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service (FS); the U.S. Department of Transportation, Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS); the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA); and the Navajo Nation, collectively referred to as the Agency Staffs, have prepared the final environmental impact statement (EIS) to address Transwestern Pipeline Company, LLC’s (Transwestern) proposed expansion of its natural gas pipeline system. A Final General Conformity Determination was also prepared by the FERC to assess the potential air quality impacts associated with construction and operation of the proposed Phoenix Expansion Project and is included as Appendix Q of the final EIS. The final EIS was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The Agency Staffs have concluded that if the project is constructed and operated in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, Transwestern’s proposed mitigation, and the Agency Staffs’ additional mitigation measures, it would have limited adverse environmental impact. The FERC is the lead federal agency and will use the final EIS to consider the environmental impacts that could result if it issues Transwestern a Certificate of Public Convenience and E:\FR\FM\28SEN1.SGM 28SEN1 jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 188 / Friday, September 28, 2007 / Notices Necessity under section 7 of the Natural Gas Act. The BLM and the FS are federal land management agencies affected by Transwestern’s proposal and have elected to act as cooperating agencies in preparing the final EIS. The BLM will use the document to meet its NEPA responsibilities in considering Transwestern’s application for a Rightof-Way Grant and obtain Temporary Use Permits for the portion of the project on federal lands under section 185(f) of the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920. The BLM would issue the Right-of-Way Grant and Temporary Use Permits for the crossing of BLM-managed lands and the Kaibab and Prescott National Forests, which are managed by the FS, and for crossing lands managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (BOR). The BLM would consider the concurrence or non-concurrence of the FS and BOR, as well as FERC approval or denial, in making its decision whether to issue the Right-of-Way Grant and Temporary Use Permits. The BLM’s decision would be documented in a Record of Decision. The OPS is participating as a cooperating agency in preparing the final EIS because it is responsible for ensuring the safe, reliable, and environmentally sound operation of the nation’s transportation system and for providing oversight for oil and natural gas pipelines. The OPS’ authority is found under the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act of 1968 (49 U.S.C. 1671 et seq.) and the Hazardous Liquids Pipeline Safety Act of 1979 (49 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.). The BIA and the Navajo Nation have also elected to act as cooperating agencies in preparing the final EIS because the proposed project would be near tribal lands in Arizona and would cross two classes of Navajo Nation lands in New Mexico: Tribal lands and allotted lands. Tribal lands are owned in fee by the Navajo Nation, and access to these lands would be acquired through direct negotiation between Transwestern and officials of the Navajo Nation Tribal Headquarters in Window Rock, Arizona. Allotted lands are held in trust by the United States government and managed by the BIA for the benefit of individual allottees. The Phoenix Expansion Project is designed to transport up to 500 million cubic feet per day of natural gas to the Phoenix area, which is one of the fastest-growing regions in the United States. The project would not only help to satisfy the increasing demand for electricity and natural gas, but would also increase competition in the regional VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:12 Sep 27, 2007 Jkt 211001 energy market, thereby working to stabilize costs to the consumer. The final EIS addresses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the following facilities proposed by Transwestern: • 24.6 miles of new 36-inch-diameter pipeline loop 1 (the San Juan Lateral Loops A and B) extending along the existing San Juan Lateral in San Juan and McKinley Counties, New Mexico; • 259.3 miles of new 42- and 36-inchdiameter lateral 2 pipeline (the Phoenix Lateral), consisting of 95.7 miles of 42inch-diameter pipeline extending from milepost (MP) 0.0 in Yavapai County, Arizona to MP 95.2 in Maricopa County, Arizona, and 163.6 miles of 36-inchdiameter pipeline extending from MP 95.2 in Maricopa County, Arizona to MP 255.1 in Pinal County, Arizona; • 1.4 miles of new 24-, 20-, 16-, and 6-inch-diameter lateral pipeline (the customer laterals) connecting the Phoenix Lateral to meter stations that are not located immediately adjacent to the Phoenix Lateral right-of-way; • Minor piping and pressure control modifications at the existing Bloomfield Compressor Station in San Juan County, New Mexico and at the existing Seligman Compressor Station No. 1 in Mohave County, Arizona; • Installation of the Ash Fork Facility at MP 0.0 of the Phoenix Lateral in Yavapai County, Arizona including 2 filter separators, odorant injection facilities, and telecommunications equipment; and • Installation of 4 taps, 31 valves, 11 meter stations, 6 pig 3 launchers, and 3 pig receivers.

Transwestern Pipeline Company, LLC; Notice of Availability of the 
Final Environmental Impact Statement and Final General Conformity 
Determination for the Proposed Phoenix Expansion Project

September 21, 2007.
    The environmental staffs of the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission (Commission or FERC); the U.S. Department of the Interior, 
Bureau of Land Management (BLM); the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 
Forest Service (FS); the U.S. Department of Transportation, Office of 
Pipeline Safety (OPS); the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of 
Indian Affairs (BIA); and the Navajo Nation, collectively referred to 
as the Agency Staffs, have prepared the final environmental impact 
statement (EIS) to address Transwestern Pipeline Company, LLC's 
(Transwestern) proposed expansion of its natural gas pipeline system. A 
Final General Conformity Determination was also prepared by the FERC to 
assess the potential air quality impacts associated with construction 
and operation of the proposed Phoenix Expansion Project and is included 
as Appendix Q of the final EIS.
    The final EIS was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the 
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The Agency Staffs have 
concluded that if the project is constructed and operated in accordance 
with applicable laws and regulations, Transwestern's proposed 
mitigation, and the Agency Staffs' additional mitigation measures, it 
would have limited adverse environmental impact.
    The FERC is the lead federal agency and will use the final EIS to 
consider the environmental impacts that could result if it issues 
Transwestern a Certificate of Public Convenience and

Necessity under section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
    The BLM and the FS are federal land management agencies affected by 
Transwestern's proposal and have elected to act as cooperating agencies 
in preparing the final EIS. The BLM will use the document to meet its 
NEPA responsibilities in considering Transwestern's application for a 
Right-of-Way Grant and obtain Temporary Use Permits for the portion of 
the project on federal lands under section 185(f) of the Mineral 
Leasing Act of 1920. The BLM would issue the Right-of-Way Grant and 
Temporary Use Permits for the crossing of BLM-managed lands and the 
Kaibab and Prescott National Forests, which are managed by the FS, and 
for crossing lands managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior, 
Bureau of Reclamation (BOR). The BLM would consider the concurrence or 
non-concurrence of the FS and BOR, as well as FERC approval or denial, 
in making its decision whether to issue the Right-of-Way Grant and 
Temporary Use Permits. The BLM's decision would be documented in a 
Record of Decision.
    The OPS is participating as a cooperating agency in preparing the 
final EIS because it is responsible for ensuring the safe, reliable, 
and environmentally sound operation of the nation's transportation 
system and for providing oversight for oil and natural gas pipelines. 
The OPS' authority is found under the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act 
of 1968 (49 U.S.C. 1671 et seq.) and the Hazardous Liquids Pipeline 
Safety Act of 1979 (49 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.).
    The BIA and the Navajo Nation have also elected to act as 
cooperating agencies in preparing the final EIS because the proposed 
project would be near tribal lands in Arizona and would cross two 
classes of Navajo Nation lands in New Mexico: Tribal lands and allotted 
lands. Tribal lands are owned in fee by the Navajo Nation, and access 
to these lands would be acquired through direct negotiation between 
Transwestern and officials of the Navajo Nation Tribal Headquarters in 
Window Rock, Arizona. Allotted lands are held in trust by the United 
States government and managed by the BIA for the benefit of individual 
allottees.
    The Phoenix Expansion Project is designed to transport up to 500 
million cubic feet per day of natural gas to the Phoenix area, which is 
one of the fastest-growing regions in the United States. The project 
would not only help to satisfy the increasing demand for electricity

     1.4 miles of new 24-, 20-, 16-, and 6-inch-diameter 
lateral pipeline (the customer laterals) connecting the Phoenix Lateral 
to meter stations that are not located immediately adjacent to the 
Phoenix Lateral right-of-way;
     Minor piping and pressure control modifications at the 
existing Bloomfield Compressor Station in San Juan County, New Mexico 
and at the existing Seligman Compressor Station No. 1 in Mohave County, 
Arizona;
     Installation of the Ash Fork Facility at MP 0.0 of the 
Phoenix Lateral in Yavapai County, Arizona including 2 filter 
separators, odorant injection facilities, and telecommunications 
equipment; and
     Installation of 4 taps, 31 valves, 11 meter stations, 6 
pig \3\ launchers, and 3 pig receivers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ A pig is an internal tool that can be used to clean and dry 
a pipeline and/or to inspect it for damage or corrosion.

notices, and rulemakings.
    In addition, the Commission 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 the eSubscription 
link on the FERC Internet Web site.
