(Millennium) in the abovereferenced docket. Millennium requests authorization to construct and operate its Hancock Compressor Project in Delaware County, New York, to meet the demands of existing customers and allow bi-directional gas flow. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the Hancock Compressor Project in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (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 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 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 proposed Hancock Compressor Project includes the following facilities: VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:43 Mar 06, 2013 Jkt 229001 • One 15,900-horsepower natural gasfired compressor unit at the new Hancock Compressor Station; • About 320 feet of 30-inch-diameter pipeline for suction from the existing Millennium mainline and about 290 feet of 30-inch-diameter pipeline for discharge to the existing Millennium mainline; • A new 650-foot-long permanent access driveway; and • Associated ancillary facilities. The FERC staff mailed copies of the EA 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. In addition, the EA is available for public viewing on the FERC’s Web site (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. 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. The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. To ensure that the Commission has the opportunity to consider your comments prior to making its decision on this project, it is important that we receive your comments in Washington, DC on or before April 1, 2013. For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to file your comments to the Commission. In all instances, please reference the project docket number (CP13–14–000) with your submission. The Commission encourages electronic filing of comments and has expert staff available to assist you at (202) 502–8258 or efiling@ferc.gov.

The Commission grants affected landowners and others with environmental concerns intervenor status upon showing good cause by stating that they have a clear and direct interest in this proceeding which no other party can adequately represent. Simply filing environmental comments will not give you intervenor status, but you do not need intervenor status to have your comments considered.
