Granite State Gas Transmission, Inc.; Notice of Intent To Prepare 
an Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Granite State LNG 
Project and Request for Additional Comments on Environmental Issues

June 9, 1995.
    On March 16, 1995, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) 
issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Assessment for 
the proposed Granite State LNG Project and Request for Comments on 
Environmental Issues. One of the specific comments sought was whether 
an environmental assessment (EA) was the proper environmental document 
or whether an environmental impact statement (EIS) was necessary. On 
May 15, 1995, the Commission staff conducted a site visit and a public 
scoping meeting in Wells, Maine. Given the number of written requests 
and oral requests at the public scoping meeting for an EIS versus an 
EA, the Commission herein gives notice that an EIS will be prepared for 
the Granite State LNG Project. If anyone wishes to file additional 
comments, please follow the instructions below. If you have already 
submitted comments on the March 16, 1995, notice or at the May 15, 
1995, public scoping meeting, you do not have to resubmit them; they 
will be considered as comments to this notice.
     Address your letter to: Lois Cashell, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street NE., Washington, 
D.C. 20426.
     Reference Docket No. CP95-52-000
     Send a copy of your letter to: Mr. Chris Zerby, EIS 
Project Manager, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North 
Capitol Street NE., Room 7312, Washington, DC 20426; and
     Mail your comments so that they are received in 
Washington, D.C. on or before July 7, 1995.
    The staff intends to conduct additional site visits and meetings 
with the public during various phases of the environmental process, 
e.g., public meetings to receive comments on the future Draft 
Environmental Impact Statement once it is prepared and circulated for 
public comment. Such site visits and public meetings will be noticed 
prior to their occurrence.

    For further information on the EIS process, call Chris Zerby, 
EIS Project Manager, at (202) 208-0111.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
