Download as PDF 30288 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 121 / Thursday, June 25, 2009 / Notices sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES deserve attention based on a preliminary review of the proposed facilities, comments made to us at the MGS’s open house, preliminary consultations with other agencies, and the environmental information provided by MGS. This preliminary list of issues may be changed based on your comments and our analysis. Issues include, but are not limited to: • Cultural resources that may be affected by the Project; • Potential impacts on streams, riparian zones, and wetlands; • Rights-of-way required for proposed pipeline crossing of federal lands managed by the BLM and the FS; • Cumulative impacts of the proposed facilities combined with past, present, and reasonable foreseeable Projects; and • Assessment of alternatives, including alternative routes, that would avoid or reduce impacts on private and federal lands. Public Participation You can make a difference by providing us with your specific comments or concerns about MGS’s proposal. Your comments should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts. The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. To ensure that your comments are timely and properly recorded, please send in your comments so that they will be received in Washington, DC on or before July 27, 2009. For your convenience, there are three methods, which you can use to submit written comments to the Commission. In all instances please reference the Project docket numbers PF09–3–000 with your submission. The Commission encourages electronic filing of comments and has dedicated eFiling expert staff available to assist you at 202–502–8258 or efiling@ferc.gov. (1) You may file your comments electronically by using the Quick Comment feature, which is located on the Commission’s Internet Web site at https://www.ferc.gov under the link to Documents and Filings.

You may also submit oral comments at one of two public scoping meetings identified earlier in this NOI. Becoming an Intervenor Once MGS formally files its applications with the Commission, you may want to become an ‘‘intervenor,’’ which is an official party to the proceeding. Intervenors play a more formal role in the process and are able to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be heard by the courts if they choose to appeal the Commission’s final ruling. An intervenor formally participates in a Commission proceeding by filing a request to intervene. Instructions for becoming an intervenor are included in the User’s Guide under the ‘‘e-filing’’ link on the Commission’s Web site. Please note that you may not request intervenor status at this time. You must wait until formal applications are filed with the Commission. Environmental Mailing List An effort is being made to send this notice to all individuals, organizations, and government entities interested in and/or potentially affected by the proposed Project. This includes all landowners who are potential right-ofway grantors, whose property may be used temporarily for Project purposes, or who own homes within certain distances of aboveground facilities (as defined in the Commission’s regulations). If you do not want to send comments at this time but still want to remain on our mailing list, please return the Information Request (Appendix 2). If you do not return the Information Request, you will be taken off the mailing list.
