Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. AD06–5–000]

Office of Energy Projects (OEP); Notice

of Intent to Prepare an Effectiveness

Assessment of the Natural Gas Facility

Interagency Agreement

In May 2002, the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission (FERC or

Commission), the Bureau of Land

Management, the Fish and Wildlife

Service, the Environmental Protection

Agency, the Forest Service, the

Department of Transportation, the Army

Corps of Engineers, the National Marine

Fisheries Service, the Advisory Council

on Historic Preservation, and the

Department of Energy signed an

agreement entitled ‘‘Interagency

Agreement on Early Coordination of

Required Environmental and Historic

Preservation Reviews Conducted in

Conjunction with the Issuance of

Authorizations to Construct and Operate

Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines

Certificated by the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission’’ (IA).

As a result of the IA, the signatory

agencies formed a working group to

coordinate each agency’s

implementation of the IA (Working

Group). Among its tasks, the Working

Group committed to the periodic

evaluation of the effectiveness of the IA.

On behalf of the Working Group, FERC

is leading the effort to initiate this

assessment. To achieve the maximum

benefit, including evaluation of the

Commission’s Pre-Filing Process, a

series of telephone conferences and

interactive public workshops are

planned. The participants will include

individuals who have participated in

the Commission’s National

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)

process since the enactment of the IA,

and will cover both pipeline and

liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects in

various regions of the United States.

These include individuals from Federal,

state and local agencies, regulated

natural industry, Native American

tribes, affected property owners,

citizens, non-government organizations

and other stakeholders.

Since many of the signatory federal

agencies have prepared internal

guidelines to more effectively

implement the IA, the assessment will

also collect feedback on each agency’s

implementation, to determine whether

they are effective or need revision to

improve the review of future natural gas

projects.

erjones on PROD1PC68 with NOTICES

The FERC or its contractor will be

contacting individuals to collect specific

information about experiences working

with the IA and/or agency guidance. We

are looking for a broad cross-section of

responses—large and small projects;

involving multiple agencies or a single

agency; and projects involving the

Commission’s Pre-Filing Process. The

information gathered from this

assessment will be compiled and

presented to the Working Group to

assist in determining whether the IA

and the signatory agencies’ current

internal guidelines are furthering the

intended goals. The information will

also be used to gage whether agencies

are fulfilling the expeditious completion

of proceedings by issuing the necessary

permits or authorizations for natural gas

projects.

At this time, we are considering the

following projects for our assessment

(note this project list may change and is

not final):

• ANR Pipeline Company: West Leg

Project, (CP02–434–000);

• Columbia Gas Transmission

Corporation: Line 1278 Replacement

Project, (CP04–34–000);

• Transwestern Pipeline Company:

San Juan 2005 Expansion, (CP04–104–

000);

• Golden Pass LNG: Golden Pass LNG

Project, (CP04–386–000);

• Vista del Sol LNG: Vista del Sol

LNG Project, (CP04–395–000);

• Northwest Pipeline Corporation:

Northwest Capacity Replacement

Project, (CP05–32–000); and

• Entrega Gas Pipeline, LLC: Entrega

Pipeline Project, (CP04–413–000).
