DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Notice of Environmental Compliance and Applicant Environmental
Report Preparation Training Courses
June 23, 1995.
The Office of Pipeline Regulation (OPR) staff is conducting two
sessions of its environmental compliance training course and a new
course on what we expect to see in the applicant-prepared environmental
report.
These courses are a result of the positive response to our outreach
training courses held from 1992 through 1995. We encourage interested
organizations and the public to take advantage of the courses to gain
an understanding of the requirements and objectives of the Commission
in ensuring compliance with all environmental certificate conditions
and meeting its responsibilities under the National Environmental
Policy Act and other laws and regulations.
Environmental Report Preparation Course
The environmental report preparation course will include a manual
covering the following topics:
A. What types of projects require environmental filings.
[[Page 33797]]
1. Natural Gas Act section 7
2. Natural Gas Policy Act filings
3. Section 2.55 replacements
B. What filings are required of each type of filing.
C. What to include in each filing.
D. Potential time saving procedures
1. Applicant-prepared DEA
2. Third-party EA or EIS
The staff intends the manual to be a cookbook for preparing
environmental filings. Because time is limited and the material
required for the other types of filings is not as extensive and is
listed in the regulations, the actual presentation at the session will
be limited to Natural Gas Act filings under section 7. However, the
manual will cover the other types of filings as well.
If you have specific questions related to the subject matter of
this course, or if you would like the course to address a particular
item, please call Mr. John Leiss at (202) 208-1106.
