[Docket No. CP11-31-000]


Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC; Notice of 
Availability of the Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Mid-
Atlantic Connector Expansion Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the Mid-
Atlantic Connector Expansion Project (MAC Expansion Project) proposed 
by Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC (Transco) in the above-
referenced docket. Transco requests authorization to abandon, 
construct, and operate certain natural gas pipeline facilities on its 
existing mainline system in Prince William, Fairfax, Fluvanna, and 
Pittsylvania Counties, Virginia. The purpose of the MAC Expansion 
Project is to increase capacity by 142,000 dekatherms per day from 
Transco's Cascade Creek Interconnect in Rockingham County, North 
Carolina, to delivery points in Virginia and Maryland.
    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the 
construction and operation of the MAC Expansion Project in accordance 
with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
(NEPA). 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 National Park Service (NPS) participated as a cooperating 
agency in the preparation of the EA. Cooperating agencies have 
jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to resources 
potentially affected by the proposal and participate in the NEPA 
analysis. The NPS will adopt and use the EA to consider the issuance of 
a right-of-way grant for the portion of the MAC Expansion Project on 
Federal lands.
    Transco's proposed MAC Expansion Project includes the following 
facilities:
     Installation of about 2.8 miles of new 42-inch-diameter 
pipeline looping \1\ and replacement in Prince William and Fairfax 
Counties;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A pipeline loop is constructed parallel to an existing 
pipeline to increase capacity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Modifications at Transco's existing Compressor Stations 
165 and 175 in Pittsylvania and Fluvanna Counties;

[[Page 27313]]

     Installation and relocation of various appurtenant 
underground and aboveground facilities; and
     Abandonment of certain facilities.
    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; 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.
