Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline LLC; Notice of Availability of 
the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Kinder Morgan 
Louisiana Pipeline Project

April 20, 2007.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) has prepared a final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 
on the natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by Kinder Morgan 
Louisiana Pipeline LLC (KMLP) in the above-referenced docket.
    The final EIS was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the 
National Environmental Policy Act. The staff concludes that approval of 
the proposed Project with the appropriate mitigating measures as 
recommended, would have limited adverse environmental impact. The final 
EIS also evaluates alternatives to the proposal, including system 
alternatives, major route alternatives, and route variations.
    The final EIS addresses the potential environmental effects of the 
construction and operation of the following facilities:
     Leg 1--132.2 miles of 42-inch-diameter pipeline beginning 
within the Sabine Pass Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Terminal in Cameron 
Parish and extending northward and easterly through Calcasieu, 
Jefferson Davis, and Acadia Parishes until it connects with an existing 
Columbia Gulf Transmission interstate pipeline in Evangeline Parish, 
Louisiana.
     Leg 2--1.2 miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline beginning 
within the Sabine Pass LNG Terminal and extending to a point of 
interconnection with the existing Natural Gas Pipeline Company of 
America pipeline just south of State Highway 82 in Cameron Parish, 
Louisiana.
     The Florida Gas Transmission (FGT) Lateral--2.3 miles of 
24-inch-diameter pipeline extending eastwardly from Leg 1 at 
approximately milepost 110.60 until it connects with the existing FGT 
Company's Compressor Station No. 7 near the town of Williams in Acadia 
Parish, Louisiana.
     Associated mainline block valves, metering, tie-in, and 
pigging facilities.
    The purpose of the proposed facilities is to deliver at least 
3,395,000 decatherms (Dth) per day of regasified natural gas from the 
Sabine Pass LNG Terminal into the national pipeline and underground 
storage grid.
    The final EIS has been placed in the public files of the FERC and 
is available for distribution and public inspection at: Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE., 
Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, (202) 502-8371.
    Copies the final EIS have been mailed to Federal, State, and local 
agencies, public interest groups, individuals who have requested the 
final EIS, newspapers, and parties to this proceeding.
    Additional information about the Project is available from the 
Commission's Office of External Affairs, at 1-866-208-FERC (3372) or on
