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 planned Texas Eastern Appalachia to Market Expansion Project (TEAM 2012 Project) which involves the construction and operation of interstate natural gas transmission facilities by Texas Eastern Transmission, LP (Texas Eastern) in Adams, Bedford, Greene, Fayette, and Franklin Counties, Pennsylvania. This EA will be used by the Commission in its decision-making process to determine whether the TEAM 2012 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 TEAM 2012 Project. Your input will help the Commission staff determine what issues need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note that the scoping period will close on September 17, 2010. This notice is being sent to the Commission’s current environmental mailing list for the TEAM 2012 Project. State and local government representatives are asked to notify their constituents of this 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 pipeline company representative about the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the planned 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 pipeline company could initiate condemnation proceedings where compensation would be determined 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. Summary of the Planned Project Texas Eastern has agreed to provide Range Resources—Appalachia and the Chesapeake Utilities Corporation natural gas transportation services. According to Texas Eastern, these services are required to meet a growing demand for natural gas in the northeast and to provide additional natural gas supply diversity and reliability. To satisfy its agreements, Texas Eastern plans to install and operate approximately 17.8 miles of 36-inchdiameter natural gas transmission pipeline and associated aboveground facilities adjacent to its existing natural gas transmission pipeline system.
