[Docket No. CP95-614-000]


Paiute Pipeline Co.; Notice of Availability of the Environmental 
Assessment for the Proposed Paiute LNG Trucking Project

November 8, 1995.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) on the 
natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by Paiute Pipeline Company 
(Paiute) 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 project which includes the following facilities: and 
operation of Paiute's proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) trucking

 About 330 feet of 3-inch-diameter transfer piping;
 A 115-foot-long drainage channel;
 A cryogenic flexible hose;
 Isolation and relief valves; and
 Other appurtenant facilities.

    The purpose of the project is to construct an LNG truck unloading 
station to give Paiute the ability to provide its LNG storage service 
customers with additional options for helping to meet their peak 
demand, emergency, or other requirements.
    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, 888 First 
Street, N.E., 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: Mr. James 
Dashukewich, Environmental Project Manager, Environmental Review and 
Compliance Branch I, Office of Pipeline Regulation (PR11.1), 888 First 
Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20426, (202) 208-0117.
    Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Written comments 
must reference Docket No. CP95-614-000, and be addressed to: Office of 
the Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, 
N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426.
    Comments should be filed as soon as possible, but must be received 
no later than December 8, 1995, to ensure consideration prior to a 
Commission decision on this proposal. A copy of any comments should 
also be sent to Mr. James Dashukewich, Environmental Project Manager, 
at the above address.
    Comments will be considered by the Commission but will not serve to 
make the commentor 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 late 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 Mr. 
James Dashukewich, Environmental Project Manager.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
