Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 62 / Friday, March 30, 2018 / Notices

regarding potential environmental and
socioeconomic impacts associated with
each alternative. As such, the scope of
this PEA is broad and encompasses
activities to support ABCT stationing
and planning for facilities projected to
be required from fiscal years 2018 to
2021. The programmatic approach is
designed to allow for early planning,
coordination, and flexibility throughout
implementation of the Army’s process
of stationing an ABCT.
Implementation of the proposed
action would require unit stationing
(e.g., realignment or inactivation),
garrison construction and demolition,
live-fire training, and maneuver
training. The proposed action and
alternatives do not propose or require
land expansion or acquisition.
Adverse impacts were anticipated to
be less than significant for air quality
and greenhouse gas, biological
resources, cultural resources, soils,
traffic and transportation, surface
waters, and wetlands. Negligible
adverse effects were anticipated for land
use, noise, geology, groundwater,
floodplains, airspace, facilities, energy
demand and generation, utilities,
hazardous materials, hazardous waste,
and human health and safety.
Socioeconomic impacts for Fort Carson
were anticipated to be negligible under
Alternative 1 and moderately adverse
under Alternatives 2 through 5.
Socioeconomic impacts for Fort Bliss,
Fort Hood, Fort Riley, and Fort Stewart
were anticipated to be beneficial under
the gain-scenario alternative for each
installation, with no impacts under the
remaining alternatives.
Members of the public, federallyrecognized Native American Tribes, and
federal, state, and local agencies are
invited to submit written comments on
the PEA and/or draft FNSI.

Coordination Act Report, an
Environmental Assessment (EA), and
agency/public review of the EA did not
reveal any significant impacts on the
human environment. Therefore, the

Notice of Availability of the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Proposed Transcontinental Gas
Pipe Line Company, LLC, Northeast
Supply Enhancement Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a draft
environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the Northeast Supply Enhancement
Project (NESE Project or Project) as
proposed by Transcontinental Gas Pipe
Line Company, LLC (Transco) in the
above-referenced docket. Transco
requests authorization to construct and
operate 36.9 miles of onshore and

offshore natural gas transmission
pipeline loop 1 and associated facilities,
one new natural gas-fired compressor
station, and modifications at one
existing compressor station. The Project
would provide about 400,000
dekatherms per day of natural gas to end
use residential and commercial
customers in the New York City area.
The draft EIS assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
Project in accordance with the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The
FERC staff concludes that approval of
the Project would result in some adverse
environmental impacts; however, all
impacts would be reduced to less-thansignificant levels with the
implementation of Transco’s proposed
mitigation and the additional measures
recommended in the draft EIS.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
and the City of New York participated
as cooperating agencies in the
preparation of the draft EIS. Cooperating
agencies have jurisdiction by law or
special expertise with respect to
resources potentially affected by the
proposals and participate in the NEPA
analysis. Although the cooperating
agencies provide input to the
conclusions and recommendations
presented in the draft EIS, the agencies
will each present its own conclusions
and recommendations in its respective
record of decision or determination for
the Project.
The draft EIS addresses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
following Project facilities:
• 10.2 miles of 42-inch-diameter
pipeline loop in Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania (the Quarryville Loop);
• 3.4 miles of 26-inch-diameter
pipeline loop in Middlesex County,
New Jersey (the Madison Loop);
• 23.5 miles of 26-inch-diameter
pipeline loop in Middlesex and
Monmouth Counties, New Jersey, and
Queens and Richmond Counties, New
York (the Raritan Bay Loop 2);
• modification of existing Compressor
Station 200 in Chester County,
Pennsylvania;
• construction of new Compressor
Station 206 in Somerset County, New
Jersey; and
1 A loop is a segment of pipe that is installed
adjacent to an existing pipeline and connected to
it at both ends. A loop generally allows more gas
to move through the system.
2 Except for 0.2 mile of pipe in onshore
Middlesex County, New Jersey, the Raritan Bay
Loop would occur in offshore New Jersey waters
(6.0 miles) and offshore New York waters (17.3
miles).

• ancillary facilities (including
cathodic protection systems, new and
modified mainline valves with tie-in
assemblies, new and modified launcher/
receiver facilities, and facilities to
connect the Raritan Bay Loop to the
existing Rockaway Delivery Lateral at
the Rockaway Transfer Point).
The FERC staff mailed copies of the
draft EIS to federal, state, and local
government representatives and
agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest
groups; Native American tribes;
potentially affected landowners and
other interested individuals and groups;
and newspapers and libraries in the
Project area. Paper copy versions of this
draft EIS were mailed to those
specifically requesting them; all others
received a CD version. In addition, the
draft EIS is available for public viewing
on the FERC’s website (www.ferc.gov)
using the eLibrary link. A limited
number of copies are available for
distribution and public inspection at:
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
Public Reference Room, 888 First Street
NE, Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426,
(202) 502–8371.
Any person wishing to comment on
the draft EIS may do so. To ensure
consideration of your comments on the
proposal in the final EIS, it is important
that the Commission receive your
comments on or before May 14, 2018.
For your convenience, there are four
methods you can use to submit your
comments to the Commission. The
Commission will provide equal
