[Docket No. CP22–227–000]

Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC ;
Notice of Scoping Period Requesting
Comments on Environmental Issues
for the Proposed Coco B Wells
Replacement Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an
environmental document that will
discuss the environmental impacts of
the Coco B Wells Replacement Project
involving construction and operation of
facilities by Columbia Gas
Transmission, LLC (Columbia) in
Kanawha County, West Virginia. The
Commission will use this environmental
document in its decision-making
process to determine whether the
project is in the public convenience and
necessity.
This notice announces the opening of
the scoping process the Commission
will use to gather input from the public
and interested agencies regarding the
project. As part of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
review process, the Commission takes
into account concerns the public may
have about proposals and the
environmental impacts that could result
from its action whenever it considers
the issuance of a Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity. This
gathering of public input is referred to
as ‘‘scoping.’’ The main goal of the
scoping process is to focus the analysis
in the environmental document on the
important environmental issues.
Additional information about the
Commission’s NEPA process is
hourly cost (for wages and benefits) of $87.00 (and
an average annual cost of $180,703/year).
Commission staff is using the FERC average salary
plus benefits because we consider people
completing the FERC–538 to be compensated at
rates similar to FERC employees.
