Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Revised Schedule for Environmental Review of the Bushton to Clifton A-Line Abandonment Project

This notice identifies the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) staff's revised schedule for the completion of the environmental assessment (EA) for Northern Natural Gas Company's Bushton to Clifton A-Line Abandonment Project. The first notice of schedule, issued on July 30, 2019, identified November 8, 2019 as the EA issuance date.

Because affected landowners were inadvertently excluded from the environmental mailing list for the Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Bushton to Clifton A-line Abandonment Project issued by the Commission on July 15, 2019, we have issued a supplemental notice on November 6, 2019 to provide all affected landowners an opportunity to comment in this proceeding. As a result, staff has revised the schedule for issuance of the EA to extend the comment period and give the public an expanded opportunity to participate in the project's design and implementation.

Schedule for Environmental Review

Issuance of Notice of Availability of the EA—December 17, 2019

90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline—March 16, 2019

If a schedule change becomes necessary, an additional notice will be provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the project's progress.
