[CP24-529-000]
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, LLC; Notice of Availability of
the Environmental Assessment for the Proposed 507G Line Abandonment
Project
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the 507G
Line Abandonment Project (Project), proposed by Tennessee Gas Pipeline
Company, LLC (Tennessee) in the above-referenced docket.\1\ Tennessee
requests authorization to abandon in place and by removal a portion of
Tennessee's 507G-100 and 507G-500 Lines and the associated
appurtenances, located in Acadia, Vermilion, Iberia, and St. Mary
Parishes, Louisiana. The EA assesses the potential environmental
effects of the abandonment activities associated with the Project in
accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed
Project would not constitute a major federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human environment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ For tracking purposes under NEPA, the unique identification
number for documents relating to this environmental review is EAXX-
019-20-000-1731681706.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The proposed Project consists of the abandonment in-place of
approximately 58.0 miles and abandonment by removal of approximately
17.3 miles of the 16-inch-diameter 507G-100 Line and disconnection and
removal of appurtenant facilities. In addition, the Project involves
abandonment in-place of about 7.9 miles and abandonment by removal of
about 1.1 miles of the 12-inch-diameter 507G-500 supply lateral
pipeline, and disconnection and removal of appurtenant facilities. In
addition, under Section 2.55(a) of the Commission's regulations,
Tennessee intends to relocate an existing pigging facility.
The Commission mailed a copy of the Notice of Availability to
federal, state, and local government representatives and agencies;
elected officials; environmental and public interest groups; Native
American tribes; and potentially affected landowners and other
interested individuals and groups in the project area. The EA is only
available in electronic format. It may be viewed and downloaded from
the FERC's website (<a href="http://www.ferc.gov">www.ferc.gov</a>), on the natural gas environmental
documents page (<a href="https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/natural-gas/environment/environmental-documents">https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/natural-gas/environment/environmental-documents</a>). In addition, the EA may be

The EA is not a decision document. It presents Commission staff's
independent analysis of the environmental issues for the Commission to
consider when addressing the merits of all issues in this proceeding.
Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Your comments should
focus on the EA's disclosure and discussion of potential environmental
effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen
environmental impacts. The more specific your comments, the more useful
they will be. To ensure that the Commission has the opportunity to
consider your comments prior to making its decision on this project, it
is important that we receive your comments in Washington, DC on or
before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 2, 2025.
For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to file
your comments to the Commission. The Commission encourages electronic
filing of comments and has staff available to assist you at (866) 208-
3676 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#0d4b687f6e4263616463685e787d7d627f794d6b687f6e236a627b"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="b8feddcadbf7d6d4d1d6ddebcdc8c8d7caccf8deddcadb96dfd7ce">[email protected]</span></a>. Please carefully follow these
instructions so that your comments are properly recorded.
(1) You can file your comments electronically using the eComment
feature on the Commission's website (<a href="http://www.ferc.gov">www.ferc.gov</a>) under the link to

eFiling feature on the Commission's website (<a href="http://www.ferc.gov">www.ferc.gov</a>) under the

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington, DC
20426. Submissions sent via any other carrier must be addressed to:

Filing environmental comments will not give you intervenor status,
but you do not need intervenor status to have your comments considered.
Only intervenors have the right to seek rehearing or judicial review of
the Commission's decision. At this point in this proceeding, the
timeframe for filing timely intervention requests has expired. Any
person seeking to become a party to the proceeding must file a motion
to intervene out-of-time pursuant to Rule 214(b)(3) and (d) of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 385.214(b)(3) and
(d)) and show good cause why the time limitation should be waived.
Motions to intervene are more fully described at <a href="https://www.ferc.gov/how-intervene">https://www.ferc.gov/how-intervene</a>.
Additional information about the project is available from the
Commission's Office of External Affairs, at (866) 208-FERC, or on the
FERC website (<a href="http://www.ferc.gov">www.ferc.gov</a>) using the eLibrary link. The eLibrary link
also provides access to the texts of all formal documents issued by the
Commission, such as orders, notices, and rulemakings.

meaningful public engagement and participation in Commission
proceedings. OPP can help members of the public, including landowners,
community organizations, Tribal members and others, access publicly
available information and navigate Commission processes. For public
inquiries and assistance with making filings such as interventions,
comments, or requests for rehearing, the public is encouraged to

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 summaries, and direct links to
