Background
On February 6, 2018, the Commission
issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the
Planned Northern Lights 2019
Expansion Project and Request for
Comments on Environmental Issues
(NOI). The NOI addressed both the
Northern Lights 2019 Expansion and the
Rochester Project components, and was
issued during the pre-filing review of
the projects in Docket No. PF18–1–000
and was sent to affected landowners;
federal, state, and local government
agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest
groups; Native American tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries
and newspapers.
In response to the NOI, the
Commission received comments from
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S.
Department of Agriculture, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency,
Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources, Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency, Minnesota State Historic
Preservation Office; one Native
American tribe; ten landowners; and
one public interest group. The primary
issues raised by the commentors were
karst terrain, groundwater, surface
waterbodies, special status species,
property values, local economy, land

use, and air quality and noise impacts
from construction and operation of
pipeline facilities. All substantive
comments will be addressed in the EA.
The Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency is a cooperating agency in the
preparation of the EA.

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 for Environmental

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
3 copies of filings made in the
proceeding with the Commission and
must provide a copy to the applicant
and to every other party. 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
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
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 commentors will be
placed on the Commission’s
environmental mailing list, and will be
notified of any meetings associated with
the Commission’s environmental review
process. Environmental commentors
will not be required to serve copies of
filed documents on all other parties.
However, the non-party commentors
will not receive copies of all documents
filed by other parties or 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 3 copies of the protest or
intervention to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street
