Trans-Foreland Pipeline Company,
LLC; Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Kenai LNG Cool Down
Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) for the
E:\FR\FM\10SEN1.SGM

khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 176 / Thursday, September 10, 2020 / Notices
Kenai LNG Cool Down Project (Project)
proposed by Trans-Foreland Pipeline
Company, LLC (Trans-Foreland) in the
above referenced docket. TransForeland requests authorization to
construct, install, own, and operate
facilities at its existing liquified natural
gas (LNG) export plant in Kenai, Alaska.
Trans-Foreland states that the proposed
Project would permit it to cool down the
existing LNG storage tanks and
associated LNG facilities by importing
LNG for delivery to the storage tanks,
and subsequently deliver boil-off gas
(BOG) generated under normal
operations from the Kenai LNG Plant to
the Kenai Refinery.
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 Project, with appropriate mitigating
measures, would not constitute a major
federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment.
The U.S. Department of Energy, U.S.
Department of Transportation’s Pipeline
and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration, and U.S. Coast Guard
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 Kenai LNG Cool Down Project
would consist of the following facilities
in Kenai, Alaska:
• A trim vaporizer unit assembly,
containing 10 skid mounted units;
• a new trim vaporizer feed pump;
• a new LNG tank circulation pump;
• a 1,000 horsepower electric driven
BOG booster compressor and associated
building; and
• two electrical buildings.
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 parties 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/

the FERC’s website. Click on the

The EA is not a decision document.
It presents Commission staff’s
independent analysis of the
environmental issues for the
Commission to consider when
addressing the merits of issues raised in
this proceeding. 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
October 5, 2020.
For your convenience, there are three
methods you can use to submit your
comments to the Commission. The
Commission encourages electronic filing

carefully follow these instructions so
that your comments are properly
recorded.
