This process is referred to as ‘‘scoping.’’ The main goal of the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important environmental issues. By this notice, the Commission requests public comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EA. All comments received will be considered during the preparation of the EA. In the EA, we 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; • Water resources, fisheries, and wetlands; • Cultural resources; • Vegetation and wildlife; • Threatened and endangered species; • Land use, recreational, and visual resources; • Air quality and noise; and • Public safety. We will also evaluate possible alternatives to the proposed project site 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 those on our mailing list (see discussion of how to remain on our mailing list on page 4). 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.

scoping period will close on December 7, 2009.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental 
mailing list for the project, which includes affected landowners; 
Federal, State, and local government representatives and agencies; 
elected officials; environmental and public interest groups; Native 
American Tribes; parties to this proceeding; and local libraries and 
newspapers. State and local government representatives are asked to 
notify their constituents of this proposed project and 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?'' was attached to the

Summary of the Proposed Project

    Gulfstream proposes to construct and operate a new turbine-driven 
compressor unit at its existing Station 420 Compressor Station in 
Manatee County, Florida. The new 20,500-horsepower Solar Titan 130 
compressor would be located within the existing station boundaries. 
Gulfstream also proposes to replace the impellers of the two existing 
turbines at Station 420 to match the flow conditions present after the 
installation of the new compressor.
    The proposed project would provide an additional 35,000 dekatherms 
per day of firm natural gas service to the Hines Electric Generation 
Station in Polk County, Florida. The location of Station 420 and the

would extend its existing compressor building to accommodate the new 
unit. The laydown yard would be revegetated and allowed to revert to 
its pre-construction condition after construction is completed. No new 
access roads would be constructed; however, existing station driveways 
would be improved.

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the 
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could 
result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a 
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us 
\2\ 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 the important 
environmental issues. By this notice, the Commission requests public 
comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EA. All comments 
received will be considered during the preparation of the EA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ ``We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff 
of the Commission's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the EA, we 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;
     Water resources, fisheries, and wetlands;
     Cultural resources;
     Vegetation and wildlife;
     Threatened and endangered species;
     Land use, recreational, and visual resources;
     Air quality and noise; and
     Public safety.
    We will also evaluate possible alternatives to the proposed project 
site 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 those on our mailing list (see 
discussion of how to remain on our mailing list on page 4). 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 instructions in the Public Participation 
discussion below.
    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction and/or 
special expertise with respect to environmental issues to formally 
cooperate with us in the preparation of the EA. These agencies may 
choose to participate once they have evaluated the proposal relative to 
their responsibilities. Agencies that would like to request cooperating 
agency status should follow the instructions for filing comments

eSubscription which allows you to keep track of all formal issuances 
and submittals in specific dockets. This can reduce the amount of time 
you spend researching proceedings by automatically providing you with 
notification of these filings, document summaries and direct links to 
the documents. Go to https://www.ferc.gov/esubscribenow.htm.
    Finally, public meetings or site visits will be posted on the 
Commission's calendar located at https://www.ferc.gov/EventCalendar/EventsList.aspx along with other related information.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
