Pursuant to section 157.9 of the
Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the
Commission staff will either: Complete
its environmental assessment (EA) and
place it into the Commission’s public
record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or
issue a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review. If a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review is
issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the
Commission staff’s issuance of the final
environmental impact statement (FEIS)
or EA for this proposal. The filing of the
EA in the Commission’s public record
for this proceeding or the issuance of a
Notice of Schedule will serve to notify
federal and state agencies of the timing
for the completion of all necessary
reviews, and the subsequent need to
complete all federal authorizations
within 90 days of the date of issuance
of the Commission staff’s FEIS or EA.
There are two ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this project. First, any person wishing to
obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceedings for this project
should, on or before the comment date
stated below, file with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426,
a motion to intervene in accordance
with the requirements of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)
and the Regulations under the NGA (18
CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list
maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies of
all documents filed by the applicant and
by all other parties. A party must submit
5 copies of filings made with the
Commission and must mail a copy to
the applicant and to every other party in
the proceeding. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of
Commission orders in the proceeding.
However, a person does not have to
intervene in order to have comments
considered. The second way to
participate is by filing with the
Secretary of the Commission, as soon as
possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition
to this project. The Commission will
consider these comments in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken, but the filing of a comment alone
will not serve to make the filer a party
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
to the proceeding. The Commission’s
rules require that persons filing
comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to
the party or parties directly involved in
the protest.
Persons who wish to comment only
on the environmental review of this
project should submit an original and
two copies of their comments to the
Secretary of the Commission.
Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission’s
environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents,
and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission’s
environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be
required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties.
However, the non-party commenters
will not receive copies of all documents
filed by other parties or issued by the
Commission (except for the mailing of
environmental documents issued by the
Commission) and will not have the right
to seek court review of the
Commission’s final order.
The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings of comments, protests
and interventions in lieu of paper using
the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at https://
www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file
electronically should submit an original
and 7 copies of the protest or
intervention to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street
NE., Washington, DC 20426.
Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern
Time on May 22, 2017.

[Docket No. Cp17–9–000]
ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of
Availability of the Environmental
Assessment for the Proposed
Wisconsin South Expansion Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission or
FERC) prepared this environmental
assessment (EA) to assess the
environmental effects of the Wisconsin
South Expansion Project (Project)
involving replacement and expansion of
existing aboveground facilities by ANR
Pipeline Company (ANR) in the area
PO 00000
Frm 00040

west and southwest of Lake Michigan.
The Project would enable ANR to
expand delivery by 230,950 dekatherm
per day (Dth/d) into the Northern
Illinois and Wisconsin market areas to
meet growing natural gas demand.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
proposed Project in accordance with the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). 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.
ANR proposes to install one new
6,130-horsepower (HP) Solar Centaur 50
compressor unit at ANR’s existing
Sandwich Compressor Station in
Kendall County, Illinois; increase
capacity of the existing Hampshire
Meter Station in Kane County, Illinois
from the current 320 million cubic feet
per day (MMCFD) to 500 MMCFD;
abandon by removal the existing 0.54mile-long 16-inch-diameter Line 332
Lateral located in Kane County, Illinois,
and replaced in the same ditch with a
new 24-inch-diameter pipeline to
increase flow capacity from the
Hampshire Meter Station to Nicor;
increase the capacity of ANR’s existing
Tiffany East Meter Station in Rock
County, Wisconsin from the current 118
MMCFD to 237 MMCFD; and re-stage an
existing Saturn 10 turbine compressor
unit at ANR’s Kewaskum Compressor
Station in Sheboygan County,
Wisconsin.
The FERC staff mailed copies of the
EA 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 this proceeding. In
addition, the EA is available for public
viewing on the FERC’s Web site
(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 Reference Room, 888 First Street
NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426,
(202) 502–8371
Any person wishing to comment on
the EA may do so. Your comments
should focus on the potential
environmental effects, reasonable
alternatives, and measures to avoid or
lessen environmental impacts. The more
