processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Department enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the

Some of the reporting discussed is

the accrediting agency may wish to
submit voluntarily to ensure that the
Department’s Database of Accredited
Postsecondary Institutions and

[Docket No. CP19–78–000]
PennEast Pipeline Company, LLC;
Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Penneast Pipeline Project
Amendment
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) for the
PennEast Pipeline Project Amendment
(Amendment Project), proposed by
E:\FR\FM\26SEN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 187 / Thursday, September 26, 2019 / Notices
PennEast Pipeline Company, LLC
(PennEast) in the above-referenced
docket. PennEast proposes to amend
their certificate of public convenience
and necessity for the previously
approved PennEast Pipeline Project
(Docket No. CP15–558–000) that was
issued by the Commission on January
19, 2018. The Amendment Project
would include four modifications to
adjust certain aspects of the design,
alignment, workspace, and construction
methods for the PennEast Pipeline
Project in Luzerne, Carbon, Monroe, and
Northampton counties, Pennsylvania.
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 (NEPA). 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 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
and U.S. Department of Agriculture—
Natural Resources Conservation Service
participated as cooperating agencies in
the preparation of the EA. Cooperating
agencies have jurisdiction by law or
special expertise with respect to
resources potentially affected by the
proposal and participate in the NEPA
analysis.
The Amendment Project would
consist of the following four proposed
modifications to the previously
approved PennEast Pipeline Project, all
in Pennsylvania:
• Saylor Avenue Realignment [Plains
Township (Twp.), Luzerne County]—a
0.4-mile-long pipeline realignment
between milepost (MP) 8.5R3 and MP
8.9R3 to address construction feasibility
and land use impacts;
• Interstate 81 Workspace Adjustment
(Plains Twp., Luzerne County)—a
revised horizontal directional drill
(HDD) design and workspace
adjustment between MP 10.0R2 and
10.4R2 due to historic mines;
• Appalachian Trail PPL Electric
Utilities Crossing Realignment (Lower
Towamensing Twp., Carbon County,
Eldred Twp., Monroe County, and
Moore Twp., Northampton County)—a
5.5-mile-long pipeline re-route from MP
48.6R2 to MP 53.6R3 to collocate the
crossing of the Appalachian National
Scenic Trail along an existing utility
corridor, relocation of the Blue
Mountain Interconnect, and addition of
a 0.5-mile-long, 4-inch-diameter Blue
Mountain Lateral; and
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
• Freemansburg Avenue Realignment
(Bethlehem Twp., Northampton
County)—a 0.6-mile-long pipeline
realignment between MP 69.7R3 and
MP 70.8R3 and redesign of construction
method from HDD to open cut to avoid
karst topography.
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 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

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

21, 2019.

status upon showing good cause by
