page of any filing should include the
docket number P–803–120. Comments
emailed to Commission staff are not
considered part of the Commission
record.
The Commission’s Rules of Practice
and Procedure require all intervenors
filing documents with the Commission
to serve a copy of that document on
each person whose name appears on the
official service list for the project.
Further, if an intervenor files comments
or documents with the Commission
relating to the merits of an issue that
may affect the responsibilities of a
particular resource agency, they must
also serve a copy of the document on
that resource agency.
k. Description of Request: The
licensee requests a temporary variance
of the instantaneous minimum flow
requirements in the West Branch
Feather River below the Hendricks Head
Dam, in Philbrook Creek below
Philbrook Reservoir, and in Butte Creek
below the Butte Creek Head Dam, to be
averaged over 48 hours. Specifically, the
licensee requests that the instantaneous
normal and dry year minimum flow
requirements: (1) in the West Branch
Feather River, of 15 or 7 cubic feet per
second (cfs), respectively, be
temporarily modified to between 15 and
7 over 48 hours; (2) in Philbrook Creek,
of 2 cfs (in both water year types), be
temporarily modified to between 1 and
2 cfs over 48 hours; and (3) in Butte
Creek, of 16 cfs (normal water year) or
7 cfs (dry water year), be temporarily
modified to between 16 and 7 cfs,
respectively, over 48 hours. The
licensee proposes to execute these
changes as soon as the Commission
grants approval until November 30,
2023. The licensee states that the
temporary variance would maximize the
delivery of flows released from
Philbrook to Butte Creek by eliminating
the need to release additional buffer
flows (4 to 5 cfs) to ensure the requisite
instantaneous minimum instream flows
are always met. The proposed variance
would help preserve cold water storage
in Philbrook Reservoir, increase flow to
Butte Creek via the Hendricks Canal,
and decrease water residence time in
the DeSabla Forebay, thus providing
additional water to Butte Creek during
the hot summer months to minimize
high temperature effects to Central
Valley spring-run Chinook salmon, and
to preserve water for release later in the
summer months towards the end of
their holding period when the situation
is most critical.
Decisions on when and how to
implement variance flows, as well as
any changes under the variance, will be
done in consultation and proceed with

concurrence of licensee staff, California
Department of Fish and Wildlife,

Saguaro Connector Pipeline, L.L.C.;
Notice of Schedule for the Preparation
of an Environmental Assessment for
the Border Facilities Project
On December 20, 2022, Saguaro
Connector Pipeline, L.L.C. (Saguaro)
filed an application in Docket No.
CP23–29–000 requesting an
Authorization pursuant to Section 3 of
the Natural Gas Act to construct and
operate certain natural gas pipeline
facilities. The proposed project is
known as the Border Facilities Project
(Project), and would serve as an
interconnection to export natural gas
produced in Texas across the United
States–Mexico International Boundary
in Hudspeth County, Texas. The design
capacity of the border crossing is 2.834
billion standard cubic feet per day.
On January 5, 2023, the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission or FERC) issued its Notice
of Application for the Project. Among
other things, that notice alerted agencies
issuing federal authorizations of the
requirement to complete all necessary
reviews and to reach a final decision on
a request for a federal authorization
within 90 days of the date of issuance
of the Commission staff’s environmental
document for the Project.
This notice identifies Commission
staff’s intention to prepare an
environmental assessment (EA) for the
Project and the planned schedule for the
completion of the environmental
review.1
Schedule for Environmental Review
Issuance of EA August 25, 2023
90-Day Federal Authorization Decision
Deadline 2 November 23, 2023
If a schedule change becomes
necessary, additional notice will be
1 40
CFR 1501.10 (2020).
Commission’s deadline applies to the
decisions of other federal agencies, and state
agencies acting under federally delegated authority,
that are responsible for federal authorizations,
permits, and other approvals necessary for
proposed projects under the Natural Gas Act. Per
18 CFR 157.22(a), the Commission’s deadline for
other agency’s decisions applies unless a schedule
is otherwise established by federal law.
