The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the
Petal III Compression Project, proposed
by Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP.
(Gulf South) in the above-referenced
docket. Gulf South requests
authorization to construct, operate, and
maintain two new electric-driven 5,000
horsepower compressor units, within
the existing Petal III Compressor Station
(Petal III CS) building and add a new
dehydration unit, thermal oxidizer, and
other auxiliary, appurtenant facilities
adjacent to the Petal III CS building in
Forrest County, Mississippi.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
project in accordance with the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act. 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 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 libraries in the project area. 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
eLibrary link (https://www.ferc.gov/
docs-filing/elibrary.asp), click on
General Search, and enter the docket
number in the ‘‘Docket Number’’ field,
excluding the last three digits (i.e.
CP19–3). Be sure you have selected an
appropriate date range. For assistance,
please contact FERC Online Support at
FercOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll free
at (866) 208–3676, or for TTY, contact
(202) 502–8659.
Any person wishing to comment on
the EA may do so. Your comments
should focus on the EA’s disclosure and
discussion of 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 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May
3, 2019.
For your convenience, there are three
methods you can use to file your
comments to the Commission. The
Commission encourages electronic filing
of comments and has staff available to
assist you at (866) 208–3676 or
FercOnlineSupport@ferc.gov. Please
carefully follow these instructions so
that your comments are properly
recorded.
(1) You can file your comments
electronically using the eComment

resources expended by persons to generate,
maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information
to or for a Federal agency. For further explanation
of what is included in the information collection
burden, refer to Title 5 Code of Federal Regulations
1320.3.
5 The Commission staff believes the FERC FTE
(full-time equivalent) average salary plus benefits is

respondents. The FERC 2018 average salary plus
benefits for one FERC FTE is $164,820/year (or
$79.00/hour). (This is an update to the cost figures
used in the 60-day Notice.)
Comments: Comments are invited on:
(1) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden and cost of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information collection;
and (4) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
