Any questions regarding the
application should be directed to Bill
Hammons at Transcontinental Gas Pipe

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
Review 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
3 copies of filings made in the
proceeding with the Commission and
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
must mail 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
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.
As of the February 27, 2018 date of
the Commission’s order in Docket No.
CP16–4–001, the Commission will
apply its revised practice concerning
out-of-time motions to intervene in any
new Natural Gas Act section 3 or section
7 proceeding.1 Persons desiring to
become a party to a certificate
proceeding are to intervene in a timely
manner. If seeking to intervene out-oftime, the movant is required to show
good cause why the time limitation
should be waived, and should provide
justification by reference to factors set
forth in Rule 214(d)(1) of the
Commission’s Rules and Regulations.2
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,

Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Northern Natural Gas
Company Northern Lights 2019
Expansion and Rochester Projects
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) for the
Northern Lights 2019 Expansion Project
and the Rochester Project, proposed by
Northern Natural Gas Company
(Northern) in the above-referenced
docket. Considering both projects,
Northern requests authorization to
construct, operate, and maintain new
natural gas facilities in Carver, Freeborn,
Hennepin, Le Sueur, Morrison, Mower,
Olmsted, Rice, Steele, and Wright
Counties, Minnesota, and to uprate the
maximum allowable operating pressure
(MAOP) of a line segment. The projects
would allow Northern to provide
138,504 dekatherms per day of new firm
natural gas transportation service to
serve increased markets for industrial,
commercial, and residential uses.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
Northern Lights 2019 Expansion Project
and the Rochester Project in accordance
with the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The
FERC staff concludes that approval of
the proposed projects, with appropriate
mitigating measures, would not
constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment.
The Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency participated as a cooperating
agency in the preparation of the EA. A
cooperating agency has jurisdiction by
law or special expertise regarding
environmental impacts involved with
the proposal, and is involved in the
NEPA analysis.
The proposed projects includes the
following facilities (all located in
Minnesota):
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
61155
• Approximately 12.6 miles of new
16-inch-diameter pipeline in Olmsted
County;
• Increase of MAOP on an existing 8mile-long segment of 16-inch-diameter
pipeline in Freeborn and Mower
Counties;
• A new town border station with
receiver in Olmsted County;
• Relocation of a regulator from
Freeborn to Mower County; and
• Appurtenant facilities including
two valves and a pig launcher at
milepost 0.0 of the Rochester Greenfield
Lateral.
Northern Lights 2019 Project
• Approximately 10.0 miles of new
24-inch-diameter pipeline in Hennepin
and Wright Counties;
• Approximately 4.3 miles of new 8inch-diameter pipeline loop extension
in Morrison County;
• Approximately 1.6 miles of new 6inch-diameter pipeline looping in Le
Sueur County;
• Approximately 3.1 miles of new 24inch-diameter pipeline extension in
Carver County;
• Aa new 11,153-horsepower (hp)
compressor station in Carver County;
• Aan additional 15,900 hp of
compression at the existing Faribault
Compressor Station in Rice County;
• An additional 15,900 hp of
compression at the existing Owatonna
Compressor Station in Steele County;
and
• Appurtenant facilities including
valves, pig launchers, and pig receivers.
The Commission mailed a copy of the
Notice of Availability 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 areas. The EA is only available
in electronic format. It may be viewed
and downloaded from the FERC’s
website (www.ferc.gov), on the
Environmental Documents page (https://
www.ferc.gov/industries/gas/enviro/
eis.asp). In addition, the EA may be
accessed by using the eLibrary link on
the FERC’s website. Click on the
