Colorado Interstate Gas Company; Notice of Availability of the 
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Spruce Hill Air Blending 
Project

January 5, 2011.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the 
Spruce Hill Air Blending Project proposed by Colorado Interstate Gas 
Company (CIG) in the above-referenced docket. CIG requests 
authorization to construct, operate, and maintain a new air blending 
compressor station in Douglas County, Colorado. This facility would 
allow CIG to meet the gas quality specifications for its existing Line 
No. 9A system.
    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the 
construction and operation of the Spruce Hill Air Blending Project in 
accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy 
Act of 1969. The FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed 
project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a 
major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment.
    The proposed Spruce Hill Air Blending Project includes the 
following facilities:
     An air blending station comprised of three air compressors 
ranging from 215 to 500 horsepower;
     A back-pressure regulator;
     Air blending controls and instrumentation;
     A gas heater;
     Auxiliary facilities and piping;
     Modifications to the existing Spruce Hill Meter Station; 
and
     A FERC non-jurisdictional electric utility connection.
    The EA has been placed in the public files of the FERC and is 
available for public viewing on the FERC's Web site at https://www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link. A limited number of copies of the 
EA are available for distribution and public inspection at: Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, 
NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426. (202) 502-8371.
    Copies of the EA have been mailed to Federal, State, and local 
government representatives and agencies; elected officials; 
environmental and public interest groups; Native American Tribes; 
potentially affected landowners and other interested individuals and 
groups; newspapers and libraries in the project area; and parties to 
this proceeding.
    Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Your comments 
should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable 
alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts.
