Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. PF06–13–000]

Downeast LNG, Inc.; Supplemental

Notice of Intent To Prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement for

the Proposed Downeast LNG Project

and Request for Comments on

Environmental Issues

September 18, 2006.

The Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission (FERC or Commission) and

the U.S. Department of Homeland

Security, U.S. Coast Guard (Coast

Guard) are preparing an environmental

impact statement (EIS) that will discuss

the environmental impacts of the

Downeast Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)

Project proposed by Downeast LNG, Inc.

(Downeast). The FERC and the U.S.

Coast Guard will be the lead federal

agencies in the preparation of the EIS,

but will prepare the EIS in coordination

with their cooperating agencies: the

Environmental Protection Agency, U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers, and the

National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration National Marine

Fisheries Service. The document will

satisfy the requirements of the National

Environmental Policy Act.

This notice supplements the Notice of

Intent (NOI) to prepare an EIS issued on

March 13, 2006. The NOI provided

information about the proposed project

and the environmental review process

and requested comments on the scope of

issues to address in the EIS. The

comment period for the NOI closed on

April 17, 2006.

Since the NOI dated March 13, 2006,

the natural gas sendout pipeline routes

have been analyzed in greater technical

detail by Downeast. Originally,

Downeast evaluated three options for

the sendout pipeline route. Option 3 has

been eliminated from further

consideration because of significant

residential impacts and the lack of

available land area adjacent to

roadways. Downeast has identified two

additional route options (Route Options

4 and 5). The previous transmittal

identified Route Option 1 as the

preferred alternative for the pipeline

route. Among the route option

alternatives now available and

evaluated, Option 4 is now the preferred

route for the following reasons:

• Shorter pipeline length by 3 miles

(28 miles long);

• Follows existing transmission

corridors for 57 percent of its length;

• Reduced potential for wetlands

impact;

• Reduced number of residences

within 50 feet of the construction ROW;

• Reduced acreage of Significant

Wildlife Habitat within 250 feet of the

construction ROW;

• An inability to receive irrevocable

license agreements from the Maine

Department of Transportation for use of

the existing but inactive railroad and

other roadways;

• The potential for re-activation of the

railway would require reconstruction of

the rail bed and straightening of rail line

segments which could require

relocation of the proposed gas pipeline;

and

• On-going discussions with the staff

at the Moosehorn National Wildlife

Refuge regarding minimization of

pipeline routing through the refuge.

A map depicting the current preferred

route and alternative route locations is

included in Appendix 1 1. We 2 are

specifically requesting comments on the

new preferred Route Option 4. Your

input will help identify the issues that

need to be evaluated in the EIS. The

scoping period for this Notice ends on

October 18, 2006.

Public Participation

You can make a difference by

providing us with your specific

comments or concerns about the

planned project. By becoming a

commentor, your concerns will be

addressed in the EIS and considered by

the Commission. Your comments

should focus on the potential

environmental effects, reasonable

alternatives (including alternative

pipeline routes), and measures to avoid

or lessen environmental impacts. The

more specific your comments, the more

useful they will be. To ensure that your

comments are timely and properly

recorded, please follow these

instructions:

• Send an original and two copies of

your letter to: Magalie R. Salas,

Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, 888 First St., NE., Room

1A, Washington, DC 20426.

• Label one copy of your comments

for the attention of OEP/DG2E/Gas

Branch 3.

• Reference Docket No. PF06–13–000

on the original and both copies.

• Mail your comments so that they

will be received in Washington, DC on

or before October 18, 2006. Appropriate

copies will be provided to the Coast

Guard.

The Commission strongly encourages

electronic filing of any comments in

response to this NOI. For information on

electronically filing comments, please

see the instructions on the

Commission’s Web site at http://

www.ferc.gov under the ‘‘e-Filing’’ link

and the link to the User’s Guide as well

as information in 18 CFR

385.2001(a)(1)(iii). Before you can file

comments you will need to create a free

account, which can be accomplished

on-line.

identified on the Commission’s service

list for this proceeding. Persons on the

service list with e-mail addresses may

be served electronically; others must be

served a hard copy of the filing.

Affected landowners and parties with

environmental concerns may be granted

intervenor status upon showing good

cause by stating that they have a clear

and direct interest in this proceeding

which would not be adequately

represented by any other parties. You do

not need intervenor status to have your

environmental comments considered.

Becoming an Intervenor

Because the NEPA Pre-Filing Process

occurs before an application to begin a

proceeding is officially filed, petitions

to intervene during this process are

premature and will not be accepted by

the Commission. When Downeast files

its application for authorization to

construct the proposed facilities, the

Commission will publish notice of the

application in the Federal Register and

establish a deadline for interested

persons to intervene in the proceeding.

To become an intervenor you must

file a motion to intervene according to

Rule 214 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

385.214). Intervenors have the right to

seek rehearing of the Commission’s

decision. Motions to Intervene should

be electronically submitted using the

Commission’s eFiling system at http://

www.ferc.gov. Persons without Internet

access should send an original and 14

copies of their motion to the Secretary

of the Commission at the address

indicated previously. Persons filing

Motions to Intervene on or before the

comment deadline indicated above must

send a copy of the motion to the

Applicant. All filings, including late

interventions, submitted after the

comment deadline must be served on

the Applicant and all other intervenors

free service called eSubscription that

allows you to keep track of all formal

issuances and submittals in specific

dockets. This can reduce the amount of

time you spend researching proceedings

by automatically providing you with

notification of these filings, document
