83403
On October 11, 2023, the staff of the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC or Commission) issued a Notice
of Scoping Period Requesting Comments
On Environmental Issues for the
Worcester Resiliency Upgrade Project.
With that notice, the Commission
requested public comments on the
scope of issues to address in the
environmental document that the FERC
staff will prepare to discuss the
environmental impacts of the Worcester
Resiliency Upgrade (Project). The
Project involves construction and
operation of facilities by Eastern Shore
Natural Gas Company (Eastern Shore) in
Worcester, Wicomico, and Somerset
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 262001
Counties, Maryland and Sussex County,
Delaware (appendix 1). The
Commission will use this environmental
document in its decision-making
process to determine whether the
Project is in the public convenience and
necessity.
The October 11, 2023 notice
announced the opening of the scoping
process the Commission will use to
gather input from the public and
interested agencies regarding the
Project. This notice announces the
scoping session dates, locations, and
times (see Public Participation section
of this notice). As part of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
review process, the Commission
considers 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.
This notice was sent to the
Commission’s current environmental
mailing list for this Project. State and
local government representatives should
notify their constituents of this planned
PO 00000
Frm 00026
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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
planned 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.
A fact sheet prepared by FERC
entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas
Facility On My Land? What Do I Need
To Know?’’ addresses typically asked
questions, including the use of eminent
domain and how to participate in the
Commission’s proceedings. This fact

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP23-536-000]
Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company; Notice of Public Scoping
Session for the Proposed Worcester Resiliency Upgrade Project
On October 11, 2023, the staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC or Commission) issued a Notice of Scoping Period
Requesting Comments On Environmental Issues for the Worcester
Resiliency Upgrade Project. With that notice, the Commission requested
public comments on the scope of issues to address in the environmental
document that the FERC staff will prepare to discuss the environmental
impacts of the Worcester Resiliency Upgrade (Project). The Project
involves construction and operation of facilities by Eastern Shore
Natural Gas Company (Eastern Shore) in Worcester, Wicomico, and
Somerset Counties, Maryland and Sussex County, Delaware (appendix 1).
The Commission will use this environmental document in its decision-
making process to determine whether the Project is in the public
convenience and necessity.
The October 11, 2023 notice announced the opening of the scoping
process the Commission will use to gather input from the public and
interested agencies regarding the Project. This notice announces the
scoping session dates, locations, and times (see Public Participation
section of this notice). As part of the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) review process, the Commission considers 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.
This notice was sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this Project. State and local government
representatives should notify their constituents of this planned
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 planned 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.
A fact sheet prepared by FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural Gas
Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' addresses typically
asked questions, including the use of eminent domain and how to
participate in the Commission's proceedings. This fact
[[Page 83404]]
sheet along with other landowner topics of interest are available for
viewing on the FERC website (www.ferc.gov) under the links to Natural
Gas Questions or Landowner Topics.

The environmental mailing list includes federal, state, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American Tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. This list also
includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission's
regulations) who are potential right-of-way grantors, whose property
may be used temporarily for project purposes, or who own homes within
certain distances of aboveground facilities, and anyone who submits
comments on the Project and includes a mailing address with their
comments. Commission staff will update the environmental mailing list
as the analysis proceeds to ensure that Commission notices related to
this environmental review are sent to all individuals, organizations,
and government entities interested in and/or potentially affected by
the planned Project.
If you need to make changes to your name/address, or if you would
like to remove your name from the mailing list, please complete one of
the following steps:
(1) Send an email to [email protected] stating your
request. You must include the docket number CP23-536-000 in your

to include your name and the correct address. If you are requesting to
delete your address from the mailing list, please include your name and
address as it appeared on this notice. This email address is unable to

Becoming an Intervenor
Eastern Shore has filed its application with the Commission and you
may want to become an ``intervenor'' which is an official party to the
Commission's proceeding. Only intervenors have the right to seek
rehearing of the Commission's decision and be heard by the courts if
they choose to appeal the Commission's final ruling. An intervenor
formally participates in the proceeding by filing a request to
intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedures (18 CFR 385.214). Motions to intervene are more fully
described at https://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to.asp. Please
note that the Commission will not accept requests for intervenor status
at this time. You must wait until the Commission receives a formal
application for the Project, after which the Commission will issue a
public notice that establishes an intervention deadline.
