The proposed project would be located in part on federal lands administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not authorize the permit holder to perform any land-disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the owners’ express permission. The proposed pumped storage project would consist of the following new facilities: (1) A 5,062-foot-long earthen and/or roller compacted concrete embankment, creating a reservoir with a normal maximum water surface area of 8,900 feet and a storage capacity of 6,000 acre-feet; (2) a 4,093-foot-long, 18foot diameter steel penstock that would convey water from the upper reservoir to the turbine/pump units in the powerhouse and to the lower reservoir; (3) a 760-foot-long, 200-foot-wide powerhouse located adjacent to the lower reservoir containing three 133– MW quaternary turbine/pump unit pairs for a combined capacity of approximately 399 megawatts; (4) a 5,371-foot-long earthen and/or roller compacted concrete embankment, creating a lower reservoir with a normal maximum water surface area of 7,850 feet and a storage capacity of 6,000 acrefeet; (5) gravel access roads to provide access to the upper or lower reservoirs from existing roads; (6) a 2.37 mile-long, 230 kilovolts (kV) transmission line; and (7) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Great Divide Closed Loop Pumped Storage Hydro Project would be approximately 1,861 gigawatt-hours, (GWhs).

(Equitrans) in Clarion County, Pennsylvania. The Commission will use this environmental document in its decision-making process to determine whether the project is in the public convenience and necessity. This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested agencies regarding the project. As part of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review process, the Commission takes into account concerns the public may have about proposals and the environmental impacts that could result from its action whenever it considers the issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. This gathering of public input is referred to as ‘‘scoping.’’ The main goal of the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the environmental document on the important environmental issues. Additional information about the Commission’s NEPA process is described below in the NEPA Process and Environmental Document section of this notice. By this notice, the Commission requests public comments on the scope of issues to address in the environmental document. To ensure that your comments are timely and properly recorded, please submit your comments so that the Commission receives them in Washington, DC on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on February 4, 2022. Comments may be submitted in written form. Further details on how to submit comments are provided in the Public Participation section of this notice. Your comments should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts. Your input will help the Commission staff determine what issues they need to evaluate in the environmental PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 document. Commission staff will consider all written comments during the preparation of the environmental document. If you submitted comments on this project to the Commission before the opening of this docket on December 13, 2022, you will need to file those comments in Docket No. CP22–24–000 to ensure they are considered as part of this proceeding. This notice is being sent to the Commission’s current environmental mailing list for this project. State and local government representatives should notify their constituents of this proposed project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern. If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. The company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable easement agreement. You are not required to enter into an agreement. However, if the Commission approves the project, the Natural Gas Act conveys the right of eminent domain to the company. Therefore, if you and the company do not reach an easement agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation proceedings in court. In such instances, compensation would be determined by a judge in accordance with state law. The Commission does not subsequently grant, exercise, or oversee the exercise of that eminent domain authority. The courts have exclusive authority to handle eminent domain cases; the Commission has no jurisdiction over these matters. Equitrans provided landowners with a fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?’’ which addresses typically asked questions, including the use of eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission’s proceedings. This fact sheet along with other landowner topics of interest are available for viewing on the FERC website (www.ferc.gov) under the Natural Gas Questions or Landowner Topics link. Public Participation There are three methods you can use to submit your comments to the Commission. Please carefully follow these instructions so that your comments are properly recorded. The Commission encourages electronic filing of comments and has staff available to assist you at (866) 208–3676 or FercOnlineSupport@ferc.gov. E:\FR\FM\12JAN1.SGM 12JAN1
