The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the Henderson County Expansion
Project (Project), proposed by Texas Gas
Transmission, LLC (Texas Gas) in the
above-referenced docket. Texas Gas
requests a Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity and
Abandonment Authorization to
construct, operate, and maintain, and
abandon certain natural gas
transmission pipeline facilities in
Henderson and Webster Counties,
Kentucky and Posey and Johnson
Counties, Indiana. The Project purpose
is to provide up to 220,000 dekatherms
per day of new firm transportation
service to CenterPoint Energy Indiana
South’s (CenterPoint) AB Brown
Generating Station in Posey County,
Indiana.
The final EIS 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).
FERC staff concludes that approval of
the proposed Project, with the
mitigation measures recommended in
the EIS, would result in some adverse
environmental impacts; however, with
the exception of potential impacts on
climate change, we conclude that
impacts would be reduced to less than
significant levels. Regarding climate
change impacts, this EIS is not
characterizing the Project’s greenhouse
gas emissions as significant or
insignificant because the Commission is
conducting a generic proceeding to
determine whether and how the
Commission will conduct significance
determinations going forward.1
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency participated as a cooperating
agency in the preparation of the EIS.
Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction
by law or special expertise with respect
to resources potentially affected by the
proposal and participate in the NEPA
analysis. Although the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
provides input to the conclusions and
recommendations presented in the final
EIS, the agency may present its own
conclusions and recommendations in
any applicable Records of Decision or
other documentation for the Project.
The final EIS addresses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
following project facilities:
• Henderson Lateral—Construction of
an approximately 23.5-mile-long, 20inch-diameter natural gas transmission
pipeline extending from a new tie-in
facility in Henderson County, Kentucky
to the new AB Brown Meter and
Regulating (M&R) Station in Posey
County, Indiana.
• AB Brown M&R Station and Point
of Demarcation Site (Posey County,
Indiana)—Construction of a delivery
M&R station, receiver facility, and a 0.1mile-long, 16-inch-diameter
interconnecting pipeline terminating at
the new Point of Demarcation Site,
which would serve as CenterPoint’s tiein for Project facilities for its AB Brown
Generating Station.
• Slaughters Compressor Station
(Webster County, Kentucky)—
Installation of a new 4,863-horsepower
Solar Centaur 50 turbine compressor
unit with piping modifications and
other appurtenant facilities,
abandonment in place of an existing
compressor unit (Unit 5), and placement
on standby of two existing compressor
units (Unit 6 and Unit 7).
• New ancillary facilities including a
mainline valve and tie-in facility in
Henderson County, Kentucky and
upgrades to an existing M&R station in
Johnson County, Indiana.
The Commission mailed a copy of the
Notice of Availability of the Final
Environmental Impact Statement for the
Proposed Henderson County Expansion
Project to federal, state, and local
government representatives and
agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest
groups; Native American Tribes;
potentially affected landowners and
1 ‘‘Burden’’ is defined as the total time, effort, or
financial 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, reference 5 CFR 1320.3.
2 Commission staff estimate that the industry’s
hourly cost for wages plus benefits is similar to the
Commission’s $87.00 FY 2021 average hourly cost
for wages and benefits.

Natural Gas Infrastructure Project Reviews, 178
FERC ¶ 61,108 (2022); 178 FERC ¶ 61,197 (2022).
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.
