Texas Eastern requests authorization to construct, modify, operate, and maintain a new natural gas pipeline and associated facilities in Ohio, which would provide 550,000 dekatherms per day of firm transportation service. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the OPEN 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. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) 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 USFWS intends to adopt and use the EA to issue an easement on federal lands to Texas Eastern. The proposed OPEN Project includes the following new facilities in Ohio: • 75.8 miles of new 30-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline crossing portions of Columbiana, Carroll, Jefferson, Belmont, and Monroe Counties, and; • a new 18,800-horsepower compressor station in Belmont County, PO 00000 Frm 00055 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 51997 Ohio (Colerain Compressor Station) that would include a 300-foot communication tower. The proposed OPEN Project also includes modifications to existing facilities along Texas Eastern’s system in Monroe County, Ohio; Monroe County, Kentucky; Attala, Hinds, and Jefferson Counties, Mississippi; and West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana. 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 September 22, 2014. For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to file your comments with the Commission. In all instances, please reference the Project docket number (CP14–68–000) with your submission.
