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 Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (Tennessee) in the above-referenced docket. The EA was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. The FERC 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 Tennessee’s proposed Fitchburg Expansion Project (Project). The Project would involve replacing approximately 5.1 miles of 6-inch-diameter pipeline with 12-inch-diameter pipeline on Tennessee’s existing Line 268–100 (Fitchburg Lateral) in Worcester County, Massachusetts; installing a pig launcher facility at the beginning of the Fitchburg Lateral in Framingham, Middlesex County, Massachusetts; and installing a pig receiver at the terminus of the Fitchburg Lateral (Milepost 5.1) in Lunenburg, Worcester County. The purpose of the Fitchburg Expansion Project is to provide 12,300 dekatherms per day of firm transportation service for the Massachusetts Development Financial Agency. 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.
