I. Introduction
1. On June 22, 2007, the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission) issued a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) to amend
its regulations to modify landowner
notification requirements and require a
noise survey following the completion
of projects involving compressor
facilities undertaken pursuant to blanket
certificate authority.1 These regulatory
revisions are intended to enhance
public participation in the
Commission’s consideration of
proposed projects and ensure that
compressor projects completed under
blanket certificate authority will not
have a significant adverse
environmental impact. Comments on
the NOPR were submitted by the U.S.
Department of the Interior (Interior) and
the Interstate Natural Gas Association of
America (INGAA). This Final Rule
responds to the comments and adopts,
1 72 FR 35669 (June 29, 2007), FERC Stats. and
Regs.¶ 32,616 (2007). The NOPR followed an
expansion of the blanket certificate program, see
Revisions to the Blanket Certificate Regulations and
Clarification Regarding Rates, Order No. 686, 71 FR
63680 (Oct. 31, 2006), FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,231
(2006), order on reh’g and clarification, Order No.

686–B, FERC Stats. and Regs. ¶ 31,255 (2007).

with minor modifications, the
regulatory revisions described in the
NOPR.
II. Regulatory Revisions
2. The NOPR discusses proposed
changes to the existing regulations
regarding landowner notification and
compressor noise restrictions.
Comments submitted address the latter.
A. Landowner Notification
3. The NOPR discusses expanding the
§ 157.6(d)(2)(iii) landowner notification
requirement. Currently, this
requirement directs natural gas
companies planning to construct
compressor or liquefied natural gas
(LNG) facilities to notify all landowners
whose property contains a residence
within one-half mile of the project site
before beginning any construction.2
This will be revised to remove the
residence qualification, and will instead
direct companies to notify all
landowners within one-half mile of the
site of a planned compressor or LNG
project regardless of whether the
property contains a residence. This
revision should ensure all landowners
within one-half mile of a proposed
project site will receive notice that will
allow them to raise land use issues,
including existing non-residential uses
as well as planned future uses of
undeveloped land.
B. Noise Survey
4. To ensure that compressor facilities
installed under blanket certificate
authority will not have significant
adverse environmental impacts,
compressor facilities must be designed
to meet the noise level limits described
below. To verify blanket certificate
compressor facilities meet these noise
level limits, this order will revise
§ 157.206(b)(5) to require that
companies completing a blanket
certificate compressor project file a
noise survey with the Commission. If
this post-project survey shows the
facility is emitting excessive noise, the
company will have up to one year from
the project’s in-service date to meet the
noise limits. After completing its noise
mitigation measures, the company will
submit a subsequent noise survey to
verify compliance with the noise limits.
2 See the landowner notification requirements, 18
CFR 157.203(d)(1) and (2), and the definition of
affected landowners, 18 CFR 157.6(d)(2)(iii).
