the project develops. On natural gas
facility projects, the APE at a minimum
encompasses all areas subject to ground
disturbance (examples include
construction right-of-way, contractor/
pipe storage yards, compressor stations,
and access roads). Our EA for this
project will document our findings on
the impacts on historic properties and
summarize the status of consultations
under Section 106.
Public Participation
You can make a difference by
providing us with your specific
comments or concerns about the project.
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 your comments are
timely and properly recorded, please
send your comments so that the
Commission receives them in
Washington, DC on or before February
9, 2015.
For your convenience, there are three
methods which you can use to submit
your comments to the Commission. In
all instances please reference the project
docket number (CP15–14–000) with
your submission. The Commission
encourages electronic filing of

government representatives and
agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest
groups; Native American Tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries
and newspapers. This list also includes
all affected landowners (as defined in
the Commission’s regulations) who are
potential right-of-way grantors, whose
property may be used temporarily for
project purposes or who own homes
within certain distances of aboveground
facilities, and anyone who submits
comments on the project. We will
update the environmental mailing list as
the analysis proceeds to ensure that we
send the information related to this
environmental review to all individuals,
organizations, and government entities
interested in and/or potentially affected
by the proposed project.
If we publish and distribute the EA,
copies will be sent to the environmental
mailing list for public review and
comment. If you would prefer to receive
a paper copy of the document instead of
the CD version or would like to remove
your name from the mailing list, please
return the attached Information Request
(appendix 2).
Becoming an Intervenor
In addition to involvement in the EA
scoping process, you may want to
become an ‘‘intervenor’’ which is an
official party to the Commission’s
proceeding. Intervenors play a more
formal role in the process and are able
to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be
heard by the courts if they choose to
appeal the Commission’s final ruling.
An intervenor formally participates in
the proceeding by filing a request to
intervene. Instructions for becoming an
intervenor are in the User’s Guide under
the ‘‘e-filing’’ link on the Commission’s
Web site.

Availability of an Environmental
Assessment (EA) and Finding of No

ACTION: Environmental Assessment
(EA)/Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI).
AGENCY:
Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (42
U.S.C. 4321–4307h), the Council on
Environmental Quality’s NEPA
regulations (40 CFR part 1500–1508),
and EPA’s regulations for implementing
NEPA (40 CFR part 6), EPA has
prepared an Environmental Assessment
(EA) to analyze the potential
environmental impacts related to the
reissuance of the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
General Permit for stormwater
discharges associated with Industrial
Activity (the ‘‘2015 Multi-Sector
General Permit’’). The EA evaluates the
potential environmental impacts from
the discharge of pollutants in
stormwater discharges associated with
industrial activities where EPA is the
permitting authority. Based on the
environmental impact analysis in the
EA, EPA has made a preliminary
determination that no significant
environmental impacts are anticipated
from the issuance of the 2015 MultiSector General Permit.

EPA is
seeking public comment regarding its
preliminary Finding of No Significant
Impact (FONSI) to document its
determination that no significant
environmental impacts are anticipated
from the issuance of the 2015 MultiSector General Permit. EPA invites the
public to submit comments through
Regulations.gov or by mail to the
address cited in the ADDRESSES section
during the 30-day comment period
following the publication of this notice
in the Federal Register.
Since 1995, EPA has issued a series of
NPDES Multi-Sector General Permits
(MSGP) that cover areas where EPA is
the permitting authority. At present,
EPA is the permitting authority in
Idaho, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
and New Mexico, Indian Country Lands,
Puerto Rico, Washington, DC, and U.S.
territories and protectorates. EPA’s
current MSGP became effective on
September 29, 2008 (73 FR 56572) and
expired at midnight on September 29,
2013. The proposed action, would
replace the 2008 MSGP. EPA proposes
to issue the MSGP for five (5) years
during which time the permit will
provide coverage to eligible existing and
new dischargers for the ten categories of
industrial activities identified in 40 CFR
122.26(b)(14)(i)–(xi) where EPA is the
NPDES permitting authority. On
November 15, 2013, EPA initiated
scoping for the development of the
environmental issues and reasonable
alternatives to be addressed in the EA.
78 FR 68835.
The environmental review process,
which is documented by the
Environmental Assessment (EA),
indicates that no potential significant
adverse environmental impacts are
anticipated from the proposed action.
The EA, which analyzed the potential
environmental impacts of issuing the
new MSGP, considered the potential
environmental impacts from the
discharge of pollutants in stormwater
discharges associated with industrial
activities where EPA is the permitting
authority.
Based on the environmental impact
analysis in the EA, EPA has determined
that no significant environmental
impacts are anticipated from the
issuance of the 2015 Multi-Sector
General Permit and the proposed action
does not constitute a major Federal
action significantly affecting the quality
of the human environment, making the
preparation of an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) unnecessary. Therefore,
