Phase VI Expansion Project On June 3, 2019, Gulfstream Natural Gas System, L.L.C. (Gulfstream) filed an application in Docket No. CP19–475– 000 requesting a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity pursuant to Section 7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act to abandon, construct, and operate certain natural gas pipeline facilities in Alabama and Florida. The proposed project is known as the Phase VI Expansion Project (Project). The Project would add an additional 78,000 dekatherms per day of mainline capacity to an existing power plant in Manatee County, Florida. On June 17, 2019, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) issued its Notice of Application for the Project. Among other things, that notice alerted agencies issuing federal authorizations of the requirement to complete all necessary reviews and to reach a final decision on a request for a federal authorization within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff’s Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Project. This instant notice identifies the FERC staff’s planned schedule for the completion of the EA for the Project. Schedule for Environmental Review Issuance of EA—January 16, 2020 VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:12 Aug 26, 2019 Jkt 247001 90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline—April 15, 2020 If a schedule change becomes necessary, additional notice will be provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the Project’s progress. Project Description Gulfstream proposes to install one 16,000 horsepower turbine driven compressor unit at its existing Compressor Station 410 located in Mobile County, Alabama and would also abandon in place approximately 4 miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline in Mobile County. Gulfstream would construct approximately 4 miles of thicker walled 36-inch-diameter pipeline to replace the abandoned pipeline and increase the maximum allowable operating pressure of approximately 59 miles of 36-inchdiameter onshore and offshore pipeline. The Project would also require the construction of metering equipment at Compressor Station 420 in Manatee County, Florida. Background On July 25, 2019, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Phase VI Expansion Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues (NOI). The NOI 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. To date, the Commission received comments from one landowner in response to the NOI. The primary issues raised by the commenter were not related to the Project. All substantive comments will be addressed in the forthcoming EA. Additional Information In order to receive notification of the issuance of the EA and to keep track of all formal issuances and submittals in specific dockets, the Commission offers a free service called eSubscription.
