May 5, 2006.

May 5, 2006.

In accordance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and

the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission’s regulations, 18 CFR part

380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879), the

Office of Energy Projects has reviewed

the application for a subsequent license

for the Clam River Hydroelectric Project,

located on the Clam River, 9.5 miles

northwest of Webster, Wisconsin in

Burnett County, and has prepared an

Environmental Assessment (EA). In the

EA, Commission staff analyze the

potential environmental effects of

relicensing the project and conclude

that issuing a subsequent license for the

project, with appropriate environmental

measures, would not constitute a major

Federal action significantly affecting the

quality of the human environment.

A copy of the EA is on file with the

Commission and is available for public

inspection. The EA may also be viewed

on the Commission’s Web site at

http://www.ferc.gov using the

‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket

number excluding the last three digits in

the docket number field to access the

document. For assistance, contact FERC

FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or tollfree at 1–866–208–3676, or for TTY,

(202) 502–8659.

Any comments should be filed within

30 days from the issuance date of this

notice, and should be addressed to the

Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,

Room 1–A, Washington, DC 20426.

Please affix ‘‘Clam River Project No.

9185–009’’ to all comments. Comments

may be filed electronically via Internet

in lieu of paper. The Commission

strongly encourages electronic filings.

The staff of the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission (Commission or

FERC) has prepared an environmental

assessment (EA) on the liquefied natural

gas (LNG) facilities proposed by Sabine

Pass LNG, L.P. (SPLNG) in the abovereferenced docket. The Sabine Pass LNG

Terminal Phase II Project (Project)

would be located in Cameron Parish,

Louisiana.

The EA was prepared to satisfy the

requirements of the National

Environmental Policy Act. The 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. This

EA evaluates alternatives to the

proposal, including system alternatives

and site layout alternatives for the LNG

import terminal, impact of Ambient Air

Vaporizers, and air emissions.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

(COE), U.S. Coast Guard (Coast Guard),

and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

(FWS) have all participated as

cooperating agencies in the preparation

of the EA.

The EA assesses the potential

environmental effects of the

construction and operation of the

following facilities:

• Sixteen (16) ambient air

vaporization trains (AAV Trains), one of

which would be installed significantly

before the others as a pilot AAV Train

for testing purposes;

• Eight (8) SCV Trains;

• One (1) pilot AAV Train;

• Three (3) LNG storage tanks;

• Two (2) LNG transfer lines;

• Two (2) BOG compressors;

• Two (2) BOG condensing systems;

• Four (4) shell and tube heat

exchangers;

• Two (2) vapor return blowers;

• One (1) simple cycle gas turbine

generator; and

• Two (2) 30-inch natural gas

pipelines from the Project process area

to new main meters.

The EA has been placed in the public

files of the FERC and is available for

public inspection at: Federal Energy
