Commission’s (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No.

The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a final
environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the Sierrita Pipeline Project,
proposed by Sierrita Gas Pipeline LLC
(Sierrita) in the above-referenced
dockets. Sierrita requests authorization
to link El Paso Natural Gas Company’s
existing South Mainline System near
Tucson to an interconnect with the
´
Sasabe-Guaymas Pipeline at the U.S.Mexico border near the town of Sasabe,
Arizona, that would provide up to
200,846 dekatherms per day of natural
gas to markets in Mexico.
The final EIS assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
Sierrita Pipeline Project in accordance
with the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The
FERC staff concludes that approval of
the proposed project, with the
mitigation measures recommended in

the EIS, would have some adverse
environmental impact; however, most of
these impacts would be reduced to lessthan-significant levels.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(FWS)—Arizona Ecological Services
Office; the FWS—Buenos Aires National
Wildlife Refuge; the Arizona Game and
Fish Department; and the U.S. Customs
and Border Protection participated as
cooperating agencies in the preparation
of the EIS. Cooperating agencies have
jurisdiction by law or special expertise
with respect to resources potentially
affected by the proposal and participate
in the NEPA analysis. Although the
cooperating agencies provided input to
the conclusions and recommendations
presented in the final EIS, the agencies
will present their own conclusions and
recommendations in their respective
Records of Decision for the project.
The final EIS addresses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
following project facilities:
• 60.9 miles of 36-inch-diameter
natural gas pipeline in Pima County,
Arizona;
• two meter stations;
• two pig launchers and two pig
receivers 1; and
• six mainline valves.
The FERC staff mailed copies of the
EIS 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.
Paper copy versions of the EIS were
mailed to those specifically requesting
them; all others received a CD version.
In addition, the EIS is available for
public viewing on the FERC’s Web site
(www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link.
A limited number of copies 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.

project is available from the
Commission’s Office of External Affairs,
