Objectives
At the scoping meetings, staff will: (1)
Summarize the environmental issues
tentatively identified for analysis in the
EA; (2) solicit from the meeting
participants all available information,
especially quantifiable data, on the
resources at issue; (3) encourage
statements from experts and the public
on issues that should be analyzed in the
EA, including viewpoints in opposition
to, or in support of, staff’s preliminary
views; (4) determine the resource issues
to be addressed in the EA; and (5)
identify those issues that require a
detailed analysis, as well as those issues
that do not require a detailed analysis.
Procedures
The meetings will be recorded by a
stenographer and become part of the
formal record of the Commission
proceeding on the project.
Individuals, organizations, and
agencies with environmental expertise
and concerns are encouraged to attend
the meeting and to assist the staff in
defining and clarifying the issues to be

There are two ways to become

stated below, file with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

a motion to intervene in accordance
with the requirements of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and

7 copies of filings made in the
proceeding with the Commission and
must mail a copy to the applicant and

possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition
to this project. The Commission will
consider these comments in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken, but the filing of a comment alone
will not serve to make the filer a party
to the proceeding. The Commission’s
rules require that persons filing
comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to
the party or parties directly involved in
the protest.
Persons who wish to comment only
on the environmental review of this
project should submit an original and
two copies of their comments to the
Secretary of the Commission.
Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission’s
environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents,
and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission’s
environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be
required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties.
However, the non-party commenters
will not receive copies of all documents
filed by other parties or issued by the
Commission (except for the mailing of
environmental documents issued by the
Commission) and will not have the right
to seek court review of the
Commission’s final order.
The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings of comments, protests,
and interventions via the internet in lieu
of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii)
