[Docket No. CP22–161–000]
Gulf South Pipeline Company, LLC;
Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Index 130 MS River
Replacement Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) for the
Index 130 MS River Replacement
Project, proposed by Gulf South
Pipeline Company, LLC (Gulf South) in
the above-referenced docket. To
accommodate the Mississippi River
Ship Channel Deepening Project, Gulf
South requests authorization to replace
via horizontal directional drill (HDD) its
MS River Crossing consisting of three
20-inch-diameter pipelines with
approximately 5,750 feet of two 30-inchdiameter pipelines under the
Mississippi River, in Ascension Parish,
Louisiana.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Index
130 MS River Replacement 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.
In the proposed Index 130 MS River
Replacement Project, Gulf South
requests authorization to:
• replace via HDD its existing
pipelines, MS River Crossing, under the
Mississippi River and install tie-in,
auxiliary and appurtenant equipment
including new mainline valves all to
reconnect to the existing mainlines;
• abandon in-place and by removal
the existing MS River Crossing; and
PO 00000

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
• reconfigure its tie-in for an existing
Gulf South pipeline, Index 804 located
on the east bank of the Mississippi
River, which would require constructing
approximately 730 feet of 6-inchdiameter pipeline to a new tie-in point
on the Index 130 and 130L.
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 natural gas
environmental documents page (https://
www.ferc.gov/industries-data/naturalgas/environment/environmentaldocuments). In addition, the EA may be
accessed by using the eLibrary link on
the FERC’s website. Click on the
eLibrary link (https://elibrary.ferc.gov/
eLibrary/search), select ‘‘General
Search’’ and enter the docket number in
the ‘‘Docket Number’’ field, excluding
the last three digits (i.e., CP22–161). Be

It presents Commission staff’s
independent analysis of the
environmental issues for the
Commission to consider when
addressing the merits of all issues 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

Establishing Interregional Transfer
Capability Transmission Planning and
Cost Allocation Requirements; Notice
of Staff-Led Workshop
Take notice that Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission)
staff will convene a workshop to discuss
whether and how the Commission could
establish a minimum requirement for
interregional transfer capability 1 for
public utility transmission providers in
transmission planning and cost
allocation processes in the abovecaptioned proceeding on December 5
and 6, 2022, from approximately 12:00
p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
This workshop will consider the
question of whether and how to
establish a minimum requirement for
interregional transfer capability. Topics
for discussion may include: how to
identify the purpose and value of setting
a minimum requirement for
interregional transfer capability; how to
develop appropriate criteria, metrics,
and models to establish a minimum
requirement for interregional transfer
capability; the transmission planning
horizon and minimum interregional
transfer capability requirements;
whether operational agreements
currently act as a barrier to interregional
transfer capability; and how the costs of
transmission facilities identified to
achieve a minimum requirement for
interregional transfer capability should
be allocated between and/or within
1 The Commission’s regulations, as revised by
Order No. 890, define total transfer capability as
‘‘the amount of electric power that can be moved
or transferred reliably from one area to another area
of the interconnected transmission systems by way
of all transmission lines (or paths) between those
areas under specified system conditions, or such
definition as contained in Commission-approved
Reliability Standards.’’ 18 CFR 35.6(b)(1)(vi) (2021).
In the context of interregional transfer capability, an
‘‘area’’ in the above definition would be a
transmission planning region.

Gulf South Pipeline Company, LLC; Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Index 130 MS River
Replacement Project
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the Index
130 MS River Replacement Project, proposed by Gulf South Pipeline
Company, LLC (Gulf South) in the above-referenced docket. To
accommodate the Mississippi River Ship Channel Deepening Project, Gulf
South requests authorization to replace via horizontal directional
drill (HDD) its MS River Crossing consisting of three 20-inch-diameter
pipelines with approximately 5,750 feet of two 30-inch-diameter
pipelines under the Mississippi River, in Ascension Parish, Louisiana.
The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Index 130 MS River Replacement
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.
In the proposed Index 130 MS River Replacement Project, Gulf South
requests authorization to:
replace via HDD its existing pipelines, MS River Crossing,
under the Mississippi River and install tie-in, auxiliary and
appurtenant equipment including new mainline valves all to reconnect to
the existing mainlines;
abandon in-place and by removal the existing MS River
Crossing; and
reconfigure its tie-in for an existing Gulf South
pipeline, Index 804 located on the east bank of the Mississippi River,
which would require constructing approximately 730 feet of 6-inch-
diameter pipeline to a new tie-in point on the Index 130 and 130L.
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
