The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will discuss the potential environmental ´ impacts of the EcoElectrica Terminal Modification Project (Project) involving construction and operation of natural ´ gas pipeline facilities by EcoElectrica, ´ ˜ L.P. (EcoElectrica) in Penuelas, Puerto Rico. The EA will be used by the Commission in its decision-making process to determine whether the project is in the public convenience and necessity. This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested agencies on the project. Your input will help determine which issues need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note that the scoping period will close on July 11, 2008. Details on how to submit comments are provided in the Public Participation section of this notice. This notice is being sent to affected landowners; federal, state, and local government agencies; elected officials; other interested parties; and newspapers. State and local government representatives are asked to notify their constituents of this proposed project and to encourage them to comment on their areas of concern. A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?’’ addresses a number of typically asked questions, including the use of eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission’s proceedings.

Summary of the Proposed Project ´ EcoElectrica’s Terminal Modification Project would provide up to 186 million cubic feet per day of natural gas to the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA). To accomplish this, ´ EcoElectrica proposes to: • Utilize a previously constructed natural gas pipeline at the existing ´ EcoElectrica liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal that extends to the facility fence line where it would interconnect with PREPA’s facilities; and • Construct two additional vertical shell and tube heat exchanger vaporizers within its existing 36-acre site. Other required facilities associated with the vaporizers include: • Two fixed speed, in-tank LNG sendout pumps (one operational, one intank spare); • Three seawater heat exchangers (plate and frame type, one operational, and two spare); • Three water/glycol circulation pumps (one operational, two spare); • One water/glycol expansion tank at 1,800 gallons; • One seawater supply pump (warehouse spare) at 6,000 gallons per minute; and • Three seawater circulation pumps (one operational, two spare). All construction would take place within the existing LNG facility fence lines. These modifications would increase LNG ship traffic by one ship per month. The general location of the proposed facilities is shown in appendix 1.1 The EA Process We 2 are preparing this EA to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), which requires the Commission to take into account the environmental impact that could result ´ if it authorizes EcoElectrica’s proposal. By this notice, we are also asking federal, state, and local agencies with jurisdiction and/or special expertise with respect to environmental issues to formally cooperate with us in the preparation of the EA. Agencies that would like to request cooperating status should follow the instructions for filing comments provided below. NEPA also requires the FERC to discover and address concerns the public may have about proposals. This process is referred to as ‘‘scoping.’’ The main goal of the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on important environmental issues. By this Notice, we are requesting public comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EA. All comments received are considered during the preparation of the EA. The EA will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of the construction and operation of the proposed project under these general headings: • Geology and soils • Land use and visual quality • Cultural resources • Vegetation and wildlife (including threatened and endangered species) • Air quality and noise • Reliability and safety We will also evaluate possible alternatives to the proposed project or portions of the project, where necessary, and make recommendations on how to lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas. Our independent analysis of the issues will be presented in the EA. Depending on the comments received during the scoping process, the EA may be published and mailed to federal, state, and local agencies; public interest groups; interested individuals; affected landowners; local libraries and newspapers; and the Commission’s official service list for this proceeding. A comment period will be allotted for review if the EA is published. We will consider all comments on the EA before we make our recommendations to the Commission. To ensure your comments are considered, please carefully follow the Land Requirements for Construction The construction of the proposed Terminal Modification Project would be entirely within previously disturbed and currently maintained portions of ´ the existing EcoElectrica LNG terminal site. Construction of the Project would affect a total of 0.64 acre, of which 0.12 acre would be permanently changed with the installation of the new equipment. Following construction, 0.52 acre would be restored to preconstruction condition. No clearing of 1 The appendices referenced in this notice are not being printed in the Federal Register.
