The environmental assessment
assesses the potential environmental
effects of the construction and operation
of the Project in accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act. 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 environmental assessment has
been placed in the public files of the
FERC and is available for public
viewing on the FERC’s Web site at
www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link. A
limited number of copies of the
environmental assessment are available
for distribution and public inspection
at: Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, Public Conference Room,
888 First Street NE., Room 2A,
Washington, DC 20426, (202) 502–8371.
Copies of the environmental
assessment have been mailed 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;
libraries in the Project area; and parties
to this proceeding.
Any person wishing to comment on
the environmental assessment 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
your comments are properly recorded
and considered prior to a Commission
decision on the proposal, it is important
that the FERC receives your comments
in Washington, DC on or before March
21, 2016.
For your convenience, there are three
methods you can use to submit your
comments to the Commission. In all
instances, please reference the Project
docket number (CP15–504–000) with
your submission. The Commission
encourages electronic filing of
comments and has dedicated eFiling
expert staff available to assist you at
(202) 502–8258 or efiling@ferc.gov.
(1) You may file your comments
electronically by using the eComment
feature, which is located on the
Commission’s Web site at www.ferc.gov
under the link to Documents and
Filings. An eComment is an easy

method for interested persons to submit
brief, text-only comments on a project;
(2) You may file your comments
electronically by using the eFiling
feature, which is located on the
Commission’s Web site at www.ferc.gov
under the link to Documents and
Filings. With eFiling, you can provide
comments in a variety of formats by
attaching them as a file with your
submission. New eFiling users must
first create an account by clicking on
‘‘eRegister.’’ You will be asked to select
the type of filing you are making. A
comment on a particular project is
considered a ‘‘Comment on a Filing’’; or
(3) You may file a paper copy of your
comments at the following address:
Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street NE., Room 1A, Washington,
DC 20426.
Although your comments will be
considered by the Commission, simply
filing comments will not serve to make
the commentor a party to the
proceeding. Any person seeking to
become a party to the proceeding must
file a motion to intervene pursuant to
Rule 214 of the Commission’s Rules of
Practice and Procedures (18 CFR
385.214).1 Only intervenors have the
right to seek rehearing of the
Commission’s decision.
Affected landowners and parties with
environmental concerns may be granted
intervenor status upon showing good
cause by stating that they have a clear
and direct interest in this proceeding
which would not be adequately
represented by any other parties. You do
not need intervenor status to have your
comments considered.

Project is available from the
Commission’s Office of External Affairs,
at (866) 208–FERC, or on the FERC Web
site (www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary

rulemakings.

free service called eSubscription which
allows you to keep track of all formal
issuances and submittals in specific

(‘‘PPHE’’) in the United States District
Court for the District of Hawai’i: PPHE
v. McCarthy, Civil Action No. 1:15–cv–

operation of the Hu Honua Bioenergy
Facility located in Pepe‘ekeo, Hawaii.

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
I. Additional Information About the
Proposed Consent Decree
The proposed consent decree would
resolve a lawsuit filed by PPHE seeking
to compel the Administrator to take
actions under CAA section 505(b)(2).
Under the terms of the proposed
consent decree, EPA would agree to sign
its response granting or denying the
petition filed by PPHE regarding the Hu
Honua Bioenergy Facility located in
Pepe‘ekeo, Hawaii, pursuant to section
505(b)(2) of the CAA, on or before
September 16, 2016.
Under the terms of the proposed
consent decree, EPA would
expeditiously deliver notice of EPA’s
response to the Office of the Federal
Register for review and publication
following signature of such response. In
addition, the proposed consent decree
outlines the procedure for the Plaintiffs
to request costs of litigation, including
attorney fees.
For a period of thirty (30) days
following the date of publication of this
notice, the Agency will accept written
comments relating to the proposed
consent decree from persons who are
not named as parties or intervenors to
the litigation in question. EPA or the
Department of Justice may withdraw or
withhold consent to the proposed
consent decree if the comments disclose
facts or considerations that indicate that
such consent is inappropriate,
improper, inadequate, or inconsistent
with the requirements of the Act. Unless
EPA or the Department of Justice
determines that consent to this consent
decree should be withdrawn, the terms
of the consent decree will be affirmed.
