or end dates, or root cause. Specifically,
the identification of root cause has
improved significantly over the past
three years, moving from 38 percent
missing an identification of root cause
to less than 2 percent. Commission staff
subsequently reviewed the supporting
information for these FFTs or CEs,
which provided a majority of the
missing information. Commission staff
ultimately agreed with the final risk
determinations for 120 of the 123
samples. Commission staff also noted a
significant improvement in the clear
identification of factors affecting the risk
prior to mitigation (such as potential
and actual risk), and actual harm, which
was identified in all samples. In
addition, Commission staff noted that
the FFTs and CEs sampled did not
contain any material misrepresentations
by the registered entities.

[Docket No. CP17–15–000]
Dominion Cove Point LNG, LP; Notice
of Availability of the Environmental
Assessment for the Proposed Eastern
Market Access Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) for the
Eastern Market Access Project, proposed
by Dominion Cove Point LNG, LP (DCP)
in the above-referenced docket. DCP
requests authorization to construct,
install, modify, own, operate, and
maintain natural gas facilities in
Virginia and Maryland to provide
294,000 dekatherms per day of firm
natural gas transportation service to
Washington Gas Light Company and
Mattawoman Energy, LLC’s
Mattawoman Energy Center, a power
generation facility.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the

Eastern Market Access 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.
The proposed Eastern Market Access
Project includes the following facilities:
• A new 24,370-horsepower (hp)
natural gas compressor station and
ancillary facilities, and two new taps for
customer delivery at the existing
Washington Gas Light Company
Interconnect in Charles County,
Maryland;
• one new 7,000-hp electric
reciprocating compressor unit and
discharge gas cooler, replacement of
three gas coolers and compression
cylinders for three existing compressors,
and an increase to 30-inch-diameter
discharge piping at the Loudoun
Compressor Station in Loudoun County,
Virginia;
• one new meter building to enclose
existing equipment at the Loudoun
Metering and Regulating Station in
Loudoun County, Virginia; and
• re-wheeling of the compressor on
an existing 17,400-hp electric unit and
upgrading of two gas coolers at the
Pleasant Valley Compressor Station in
Fairfax County, Virginia.
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;
and newspapers and libraries in the
project area. 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
specific your comments, the more useful
they will be. To ensure that the
Commission has the opportunity to
consider your comments prior to
making its decision on this project, it is
important that we receive your
comments in Washington, DC on or
before July 27, 2017.
