The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) on the natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by Kinder Morgan Interstate Gas Transmission, LLC (Kinder Morgan) in the above-referenced docket. Kinder Morgan’s proposal (the Colorado Lateral Expansion Project) is to construct about 41.4 miles of 12-inch-diameter pipeline in Weld County, Colorado. The EA was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. The staff concludes that approval of the proposed project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the proposed Colorado Lateral Expansion Project, as well as five lateral distribution pipelines totaling 10.8 miles, also in Weld County, Colorado. The purpose of the Colorado Lateral Expansion Project is to provide an additional reliable source of natural gas to Greeley, Colorado. This project would add 57 million cubic feet per day of pipeline capacity from the Cheyenne Hub to distribution points in the Greeley market area. The EA has been placed in the public files of the FERC. A limited number of copies of the EA are available for distribution and public inspection at: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Public Reference Room, 888 First Street NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426. Copies of the EA have been mailed to federal, state, and local agencies; public interest groups; newspapers and libraries in the project area; parties to the proceeding; and those who have expressed an interest in this project by returning the August 30, 2007 Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Colorado Lateral Expansion Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues. Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so.

The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) in cooperation with the U.S. Coast Guard (Coast Guard); U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE); National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service; and the New York Department of State has prepared a final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal and natural gas pipeline (referred to as the Broadwater LNG Project) proposed by Broadwater Energy LLC and Broadwater Pipeline LLC (jointly referred to as Broadwater) in the above-referenced dockets. Broadwater PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Energy LLC is jointly owned by TCPL USA LNG, Inc. (a subsidiary of TransCanada Corporation) and Shell Broadwater Holdings LLC (a subsidiary of Shell Oil Company). Broadwater Pipeline LLC is owned by Broadwater Energy LLC. The proposed LNG terminal would be located in New York State waters of Long Island Sound, approximately 9 miles from the nearest shoreline of Long Island, and about 10 miles from the nearest shoreline in Connecticut. The terminal would be a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) that would be attached to a yoke mooring system (YMS) that includes a mooring tower embedded in the seafloor. The FSRU would look like a marine vessel and would remain moored in place for the duration of the Project (expected to be 30 years or more). The YMS would allow the FSRU to pivot or ‘‘weathervane’’ around the YMS, enabling the FSRU to orient in response to the prevailing wind, tide, and current conditions. LNG would be delivered to the FSRU by LNG carriers, temporarily stored, vaporized (regasified), and then transported in a new subsea natural gas pipeline that would extend from the seafloor beneath the FSRU approximately 21.7 miles to an offshore connection with the existing Iroquois Gas Transmission System (IGTS) pipeline in Long Island Sound. Natural gas would be routed from the FSRU to the subsea pipeline and into the IGTS pipeline for delivery at an average flow rate of about 1.0 billion cubic feet per day. LNG would be delivered to the FSRU by 2 to 3 LNG carriers per week to meet the Project’s planned send-out volumes of natural gas. LNG carriers would transit from the Atlantic Ocean to either the Point Judith Pilot Station (northeast of Block Island) or the Montauk Pilot Station (southwest of Block Island). From the Point Judith Pilot Station, carriers would transit Block Island Sound north of Block Island, head generally west to enter Long Island Sound at its eastern end (an area known as the Race), and then proceed to the FSRU. From the Montauk Pilot Station, carriers would head generally northwest to approach the Race, then proceed to the FSRU. The final EIS addresses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the following LNG and natural gas pipeline facilities: • A double-hulled FSRU approximately 1,215 feet long and 200 feet wide, with a closed-loop shell-andtube vaporization system and a total E:\FR\FM\18JAN1.SGM 18JAN1
