The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) of the natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by the Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation (Transco) in the abovereferenced docket. The EA was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. The FERC VerDate Aug<31>2005 20:20 Apr 24, 2008 Jkt 214001 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 environmental impacts of constructing and operating the proposed Sentinel Expansion Project (Project). The purpose of the proposed Project is to provide approximately 142,000 dekatherms per day (Dt/d) of natural gas delivery capacity to the northeastern United States through the replacement of existing facilities and the addition of looping and compression facilities along Transco’s existing natural gas delivery system. 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, (202) 502–8371. Copies of the EA have been mailed to federal, state, and local agencies, public interest groups, interested individuals, newspapers, and parties to this proceeding. Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so.
