[Docket No. CP94-654-001]


Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation; Notice of Availability of 
the Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Flex-X Riverside Project

June 23, 1995.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) on the 
natural gas facilities proposed by Texas Eastern Transmission 
Corporation (Texas Eastern) in the above-referenced docket.
    The EA was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National 
Environmental Policy Act. The staff concludes that approval of the 
proposed project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not 
constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality 
of the human environment.
    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the 
construction and operation of the proposed facilities including:
      About 2.86 miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline replacement 
in Fayette County, Pennsylvania between the Uniontown and Bedford 
Compressor Stations (Uniontown Replacement);
      About 2.38 miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline replacement 
in Bedford County, Pennsylvania between the Bedford and Chambersburg 
Compressor Stations (Bedford Replacement);
      About 1.98 miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline replacement 
in Bucks 

[[Page 33798]]
County, Pennsylvania between Eagle, Pennsylvania and Lambertville, New 
Jersey (Eagle Replacement); and
      A new meter and regulation station (Doylestown M&R 
Station) at Doylestown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
    The purpose of the proposed facilities would be to provide an 
additional firm transportation capacity of up to 33,210 dekatherm per 
day (Dth/d) and a total delivery capacity at Doylestown, Pennsylvania 
of 50,000 Dth/d.
    The EA has been placed in the public files of the FERC and is 
available for public inspection at: Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, Public Reference and Files Maintenance Branch, 941 North 
Capitol Street, NE., Room 3104, Washington, DC 20426, (202) 208-1371
    Copies of the EA have been mailed to Federal, state and local 
agencies, public interest groups, interested individuals, newspapers, 
and parties to this proceeding.
    A limited number of copies of the EA are available from: Ms. 
Jennifer Goggin, Environmental Project Manager, Environmental Review 
and Compliance Branch II, Office of Pipeline Regulation, Room 7312, 825 
North Capitol Street, NW., Washington, DC 20426, (202) 208-2226
    Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Written comments 
must reference Docket No. CP94-654-001, and be addressed to: Office of 
the Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol 
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426
    Comments should be filed as soon as possible, but must be received 
no later than July 24, 1995, to ensure consideration prior to a 
Commission decision on this proposal. A copy of any comments should 
also be sent to Ms. Jennifer Goggin, Environmental Project Manager, at 
the above address.
    Comments will be considered by the Commission but will not serve to 
make the commenter a party to the proceeding. Any person seeking to 
become a party to the proceeding must file a motion to intervene 
pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214).
    The date for filing timely motions to intervene in this proceeding 
has passed. Therefore, parties now seeking to file later interventions 
must show good cause, as required by section 385.214(b)(3), why this 
time limitation should be waived. Environmental issues have been viewed 
as good cause for late intervention. You do not need intervenor status 
to have your comments considered.
    Additional information about this project is available from Ms. 
Jennifer Goggin, Environmental Project Manager.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
