[Docket No. CP15–527–000]
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Company, LLC; Notice of Availability
of the Environmental Assessment for
the Proposed New York Bay Expansion
Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared this
environmental assessment for the New
York Bay Expansion Project (Project)
proposed by Transcontinental Gas Pipe
Line Company, LLC (Transco) in the
above-referenced docket. Transco
requests authorization to construct,
replace, and operate natural gas pipeline
facilities located in Chester County,
Pennsylvania, Richmond County, New
York, and Middlesex and Essex
Counties, New Jersey. This Project
would enable Transco to modify
existing facilities and replace existing
pipeline to transport an additional 115
million cubic feet of natural gas per day.
The Project would involve the
following activities at existing
aboveground facilities in the specified
towns and municipalities:
• Uprate Compressor Station 200
from 30,860 horsepower (hp) to 33,000
hp (East Whiteland Township, Chester
County, Pennsylvania) and uprate a unit
of Compressor Station 303 from 25,000
hp to 27,500 hp (Roseland Borough,
Essex County, New Jersey);
• Add 11,000 hp of electric-driven
compression to Compressor Station 207
(Old Bridge Township, Middlesex
County, New Jersey);
• Install various appurtenances and
modifications at three meter and
regulation (M&R) stations in East
Brandywine Township (Chester County,

Pennsylvania), Sayreville Borough
(Middlesex County, New Jersey) and
Staten Island Borough (Richmond
County, New York), including setting up
a temporary M&R station during
construction in Staten Island Borough.
In addition, Transco proposes to
replace three segments of its 42-inchdiameter Lower New York Bay Lateral
pipeline, totaling 0.25 mile, and uprate
the lateral pipeline’s operating pressure
from 960 to 1000 pounds per square
inch in Middlesex County, New Jersey.
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 EA 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 May 4,
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 (CP15–527–000) 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.

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.
