CP08–6–002; CP09–56–000] Midcontinent Express Pipeline LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed MEP Amendment and Expansion Projects and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues March 24, 2009. The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will discuss the environmental impacts of the proposed Midcontinent Express Pipeline LLC (MEP) Amendment and Expansion Projects (MEP Amendment and Expansion) involving construction and operation of facilities by Midcontinent Express Pipeline LLC in Lamar and Cass Counties, Texas; Union Parish, Louisiana; and Hinds County, Mississippi.1 This 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 supersedes the ‘‘Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed MEP Amendment Project and Request for 1 On December 30, 2008, MEP filed its amended application for CP08–6–000 with the Commission under section 7 of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission’s regulations. The Commission issued its Notice of Amendment on January 12, 2009. On January 29, 2009, MEP filed its application for CP09–56–000 with the Commission under section 7 of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission’s regulations.

The Commission staff plans to address the environmental impacts of both the MEP Amendment Project (Docket No. CP08–6–002) and the MEP Expansion Project (Docket No. CP09–56–000) under a single EA document. This notice summarizes and describes currently identified environmental issues for both projects. This notice announces the opening of the scoping process we 2 will use to gather input from the public and interested agencies on the project. Your input will help the Commission staff determine which issues need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note that the scoping period will close on April 23, 2009. This notice is being sent to affected landowners; Federal, State, and local government representatives and agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups; Native American Tribes; other interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. State and local government representatives are asked to notify their constituents of this planned project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern. If you are a landowner receiving this notice, you may be contacted by a MEP representative about survey permission and/or the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. The company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if the project is approved by the Commission, that approval conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the natural gas company could initiate condemnation proceedings in accordance with state law. A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?’’ is available for viewing on the FERC Web site (https:// www.ferc.gov). This fact sheet addresses a number of typically asked questions, including the use of eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission’s proceedings. It is available for viewing on the FERC Internet Web site (https://www.ferc.gov).
