The Commission will use this EA in its decision-making process to determine whether the Project is in the public convenience and necessity. This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested agencies on the Project. 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. Your input will help the Commission staff determine what issues they need to evaluate in the EA. 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 November 23, 2015. If you sent comments on this Project to the Commission before the opening of this docket on September 9, 2015, you will need to file those comments in Docket No. CP15–552–000 to ensure they are considered as part of this proceeding. This notice is being sent to the Commission’s current environmental mailing list for this Project. State and VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:16 Oct 27, 2015 Jkt 238001 local government representatives should notify their constituents of this proposed Project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern. If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a Northern representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. The company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if the Commission approves the Project, that approval conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation proceedings where compensation would be determined in accordance with state law. Northern has provided landowners with a fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?’’ This fact sheet addresses a number of typically asked questions, including the use of eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission’s proceedings. It is also available for viewing on the FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/ gas/gas.pdf). Public Participation For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to submit your comments to the Commission.

Summary of the Proposed Project Northern proposes to construct and operate a new compressor station in Gaines County, Texas. The Project would include two new natural gasfired turbine compressor units rated at approximately 18,089 horsepower (HP) and would deliver about 210 million standard cubic feet of natural gas per day to supply natural gas for electrical power plants. If approved as proposed, the Project would include installation of two units: (1) Solar Taurus 70–10802S with approximately 11,152 HP; and (2) Solar Taurus 60–7302S with approximately 6,937 HP. The suction side of the compressor station would be connected to the existing 30-inch-diameter Spraberry to Plains pipeline. The station would discharge to the existing 30-inchdiameter Kermit to Beaver pipeline. The proposed Project would also include the installation of two compressor buildings, a control building, an auxiliary building, a septic system and associated above-grade and below-grade piping, and valves and instrumentation. The general location of the proposed Project facilities is shown in appendix 1.1 Land Requirements for Construction Construction of the proposed Project facilities and temporary workspace would disturb approximately 27.8 acres of land. The total acreage maintained for permanent operation of the compressor station would be approximately 20 acres of land. Northern would acquire an approximately 20-acre site for the new compressor station and access road. The predominant land use that would be impacted by the proposed Project is agricultural and fallow cropland.
