noise, and safety. The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency is a

Spire STL Pipeline LLC; Supplemental
Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment and
Reopening of Comment Period for the
Proposed Spire STL Pipeline Project
On September 29, 2017, the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC
or Commission) issued in Docket Nos.
CP17–40–000 and CP17–40–001 a
Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Spire STL Pipeline Project.
FERC has subsequently learned that
delivery of the CD version of the
Environmental Assessment (EA) was
delayed and as a result some
stakeholders did not receive a copy of
the EA until after the comment period
had closed. In recognition of the delay
in receipt, this supplemental notice
announces the opening of another
comment period.
A CD containing an electronic copy of
the EA was previously mailed to you.
Alternatively, the EA is available for
public viewing on the FERC’s Web site
(www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link
and searching for accession number
20170929–3022; the direct link is as
follows: https://elibrary.FERC.gov/

The enclosure contains the original
notice of availability describing the
project and the methods you can use to
file your comments to the Commission.
To ensure that the Commission has the
opportunity to consider your comments
prior to making its decision on this
