One purpose of the PBO is to improve service to students and other participants in the student financial assistance programs authorized under title IV, including making those programs more understandable to students and their parents. To do that, FSA has committed to ensuring that all people receive service that matches or exceeds the best service available in the private sector. The legislation’s requirements establish an ongoing need for FSA to be engaged in an interactive process of collecting information and using it to improve program services and processes.

Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Rover Pipeline, 
Panhandle Backhaul, and Trunkline Backhaul Projects

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) has prepared a final environmental impact statement (EIS) 
for the Rover Pipeline, Panhandle Backhaul, and Trunkline Backhaul 
Projects (Projects), proposed by Rover Pipeline, LLC (Rover), Panhandle 
Eastern Pipe Line Company, LP (Panhandle), and Trunkline Gas Company, 
LLC (Trunkline), respectively, in the above-referenced dockets. Rover 
requests authorization to construct, operate, and maintain certain 
natural gas pipeline facilities to transport about 3.25 billion cubic 
feet per day (Bcf/d) of stranded natural gas from Marcellus and Utica 
production areas in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio to markets in 
the United States and Canada. Panhandle requests authorization to 
modify existing facilities and install an interconnection

with Rover in Defiance County, Ohio to accommodate 0.75 Bcf/d of east-
to-west firm transportation service. Trunkline would modify existing 
facilities, including piping at the existing Panhandle-Trunkline 
Interconnect in Douglas County, Illinois to provide 0.75 Bcf/d of 
north-to-south firm transportation service.
    The final EIS assesses the potential environmental effects of the 
construction and operation of the Projects in accordance with the 
requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The FERC 
staff concludes that approval of the Projects would have some adverse 
and significant environmental impacts; however, these impacts would be

agencies have jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to 
resources potentially affected by the proposal and participate in the 
NEPA analysis. Although the cooperating agencies provided input to the 
conclusions and recommendations presented in the final EIS, the 
agencies will present their own conclusions and recommendations in 
their respective Records of Decision for the Projects.
    The final EIS addresses the potential environmental effects of the 
construction and operation of the following project facilities:
     510.3 miles of new 24- to 42-inch-diameter natural gas 
pipeline and appurtenant facilities that include 10 new compressor 
stations, 21 new meter stations, 6 new tie-ins, 78 mainline valves, and

     modifications by Panhandle at four existing compressor 
stations, one interconnection, and three valve sites; and
     modifications by Trunkline at four existing compressor 
stations and one meter station.
    The FERC staff mailed copies of the final EIS 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
