Project Description
Saguaro proposes to site, construct,
connect, operate, and maintain a 48inch-diameter natural gas pipeline from
the United States (U.S.) to the Mexico
International Border in Hudspeth
County, Texas. The pipeline would
extend from State of Texas land to the
U.S.–Mexico international border in the
middle of the Rio Grande River. The
Project would consist of the installation
of approximately 1,000 feet of 48-inchdiameter pipeline, establishment of a
50-foot-width permanent right-of-way,
and use of approximately 14.2 acres as
temporary workspaces and 6.9 miles of
temporary access road.

Background
On February 3, 2023, the Commission
issued a Notice of Scoping Period
Requesting Comments on
Environmental Issues for the Proposed
Borders Facilities Project (Notice of
Scoping). The Notice of Scoping was
sent to affected landowners; federal,
state, and local government agencies;
elected officials; environmental and
public interest groups; Native American
tribes; other interested parties; and local
libraries and newspapers. In response to
the Notice of Scoping, the Commission
received several comments. The primary
issues raised by the commenters are
environmental justice, cultural
resources, and pipeline safety. The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
provided recommendations to FERC
regarding air quality, water quality,
hazardous waste, and environmental
justice. EPA’s recommendations for
these resources included comments
regarding cumulative impacts for the
non-jurisdictional pipeline connected to
the Project and consultation with the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regarding
Clean Water Act Section 404 waters. All
substantive comments will be addressed
in the EA.
Additional Information
In order to receive notification of the
issuance of the EA and to keep track of
formal issuances and submittals in
specific dockets, the Commission offers
a free service called eSubscription. This
service provides automatic notification
of filings made to subscribed dockets,
document summaries, and direct links
to the documents. Go to https://

Community of Elfin Cove Non Profit

Commission; Notice of Availability of
Environmental Assessment
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission’s (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR 1 part 380, the
Office of Energy Projects has reviewed
the application for a license to construct
and operate the Crooked Creek and Jim’s
Lake Hydroelectric Project. The project
would be located on Crooked Creek and
Jim’s Lake, near the community of Elfin
Cove, in the Sitka Recording District,
Unorganized Borough, Alaska.
Commission staff has prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the
project. The project would occupy 10.5
acres of federal land in the Tongass
National Forest, managed by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s Forest
Service.
The EA contains the staff’s analysis of
the potential environmental impacts of
the project and concludes that licensing
the project, with appropriate
environmental protective measures,
would not constitute a major federal
action that would significantly affect the
quality of the human environment.
The Commission provides all
interested persons with an opportunity
to view and/or print the EA via the
internet through the Commission’s
Home Page (https://www.ferc.gov/), using

Public Participation
There are three ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this project: you can file a protest to the
project, you can file a motion to
intervene in the proceeding, and you
can file comments on the project. There
is no fee or cost for filing protests,
motions to intervene, or comments. The
deadline for filing protests, motions to
intervene, and comments is 5:00 p.m.
Eastern Time on April 5, 2023. How to
file protests, motions to intervene, and
comments is explained below.
Protests
Pursuant to section 157.205 of the
Commission’s regulations under the
NGA,2 any person 3 or the Commission’s
staff may file a protest to the request. If
no protest is filed within the time
allowed or if a protest is filed and then
withdrawn within 30 days after the
allowed time for filing a protest, the
proposed activity shall be deemed to be
authorized effective the day after the
time allowed for protest. If a protest is
filed and not withdrawn within 30 days
after the time allowed for filing a
protest, the instant request for
authorization will be considered by the
Commission.
Protests must comply with the
requirements specified in section
157.205(e) of the Commission’s
regulations,4 and must be submitted by
the protest deadline, which is April 5,
2023. A protest may also serve as a
motion to intervene so long as the
protestor states it also seeks to be an
intervenor.
Interventions
Any person has the option to file a
motion to intervene in this proceeding.
Only intervenors have the right to
request rehearing of Commission orders
issued in this proceeding and to
subsequently challenge the
Commission’s orders in the U.S. Circuit
Courts of Appeal.
To intervene, you must submit a
motion to intervene to the Commission
in accordance with Rule 214 of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure 5 and the regulations under
the NGA 6 by the intervention deadline
for the project, which is April 5, 2023.

extent known, your position regarding
the proceeding, as well as your interest

directly impacted by the project in order
to intervene. For more information
about motions to intervene, refer to the
FERC website at https://www.ferc.gov/
how-guides.
All timely, unopposed motions to
intervene are automatically granted by
operation of Rule 214(c)(1). Motions to
intervene that are filed after the
intervention deadline are untimely and
may be denied. Any late-filed motion to
intervene must show good cause for
being late and must explain why the
time limitation should be waived and
provide justification by reference to
factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the
Commission’s Rules and Regulations. A
person obtaining party status will be
placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and
will receive copies (paper or electronic)
of all documents filed by the applicant
and by all other parties.
Comments
Any person wishing to comment on
the project may do so. The Commission
considers all comments received about
the project in determining the
appropriate action to be taken. To
ensure that your comments are timely
and properly recorded, please submit
your comments on or before April 5,
2023. The filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the
proceeding. To become a party, you
must intervene in the proceeding.

protests, motions to intervene, and

of Application Requesting an
Amendment to Certificate of Public
Interest and Necessity
Take notice that on March 14, 2023,
Northern Natural Gas Company
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street,
Omaha, NE 68124, filed an application
pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas
Act (NGA) to amend the certificate
issued on December 7, 2022, authorizing
Northern to: (1) abandon in-place
approximately 82.70 miles of 20-inchdiameter A-line and appurtenances in
Boone, Webster, Wright, and Hancock
counties, Iowa; and (2) install the
approximately 6.04-mile extension of its
30-inch-diameter D-line extension and
above-ground facilities, all with
appurtenances, in Wright County, Iowa,
all as more fully set forth in the request,
which is on file with the Commission
and open to public inspection.
Specifically, Northern has determined
based on the hydraulic analysis, that
existing capacity demands on the
existing pipeline system can be
adequately met by reducing the length
of the proposed D-line Extension to 1.51
miles. In addition to reducing the length
of pipeline, Northern is no longer
proposing to install a pipeline
