Request for Comment on the Revised Upland Erosion Control, 
Revegetation and Maintenance Plan and the Wetland and Waterbody 
Construction and Mitigation Procedures

December 5, 2002.
    The Office of Energy Projects (OEP) staff has revised the Upland 
Erosion Control, Revegetation and Maintenance Plan (Plan) and the 
Wetland and Waterbody Construction and Mitigation Procedures 
(Procedures) referred to at 18 CFR 157.206(b)(3)(iv) of the 
Commission's regulations. The staff is providing one extra opportunity 
for public comment on the proposed revisions.
    The proposed revisions to the Plan and Procedures were advertised 
by the Commission staff in a Notice issued January 11, 2002. This final 
draft incorporates comments gathered over the past 8 months from the 
natural gas pipeline industry and other agencies. The Plan and 
Procedures were last updated December 2, 1994. Many of the staff's 
proposed changes better address regional issues by converting some

measures into performance-based standards. Other modifications provide 
necessary updates to reflect current laws and regulations.

Procedures on our Web site showing the changes in a redline and 
strikeout format. The final drafts are available at http://www.ferc.gov/gas/environment/guidelines.htm.
