Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability; Draft National Interest Electric Transmission Corridor Designations
The Department of Energy (DOE) published notice of two draft National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors (National Corridors) under section 216 of the Federal Power Act in 72 FR 25838 on May 7, 2007. With regard to the draft Mid-Atlantic Area National Corridor (Docket No. 2007-OE-01), DOE is correcting an error in the text of the May 7, 2007 notice. There are six counties that were correctly included in the map of the draft Mid-Atlantic Area National Corridor, displayed in Figure VIII-21 at 72 FR 25908, but that were inadvertently omitted from the narrative description of the draft Corridor at 72 FR 25909. The six counties that should have been included in the list at 72 FR 25908 are: Monroe County, OH; Carbon County, PA; Cumberland County, PA; Kanawha County, WV; Mason County, WV; and Putnam County, WV. Further, DOE will be holding four additional public meetings on the draft National Corridors.
Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement and Conduct Scoping; Montana Alberta Tie, Ltd.
The Department of Energy (DOE) announces its intention to prepare an EIS and to conduct scoping on the proposed Federal action of granting a Presidential permit to construct a new electric transmission line across the U.S.-Canada border in northwestern Montana. DOE has determined that issuance of a Presidential permit for the proposed project would constitute a major Federal action that may have a significant effect upon the environment within the meaning of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). For this reason, DOE intends to prepare an EIS entitled ``The Montana Alberta Tie, Ltd. (MATL) 230-kV Transmission Line Environmental Impact Statement'' (DOE/EIS-0399) to address potential environmental impacts from the proposed action and the range of reasonable alternatives. The EIS will be prepared in compliance with NEPA and applicable regulations, including DOE NEPA implementing regulations at 10 CFR part 1021. Because of the previous public participation activities, DOE does not plan to conduct additional scoping meetings for this EIS. Written comments on the scope of the EIS are invited.
