El Paso Natural Gas Company; Notice of Public Scoping Meetings 
for the Planned SASABE Lateral Project

    On October 18 and 20, 2012, the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission (FERC or Commission) Office of Energy Project's staff will 
hold public scoping meetings for El Paso Natural Gas Company's (El 
Paso) Sasabe Lateral Project (Project). The Project is a planned 60-
mile-long natural gas pipeline that would link El Paso's existing South 
Mainline System near Tucson, Arizona, to a point at the U.S.-Mexico 
border near the town of Sasabe, Arizona. FERC staff will conduct public 
scoping meetings as part of their preparation of an environmental 
impact statement (EIS) on the Project. The scoping meetings are 
designed to provide the public with an opportunity to offer verbal 
comments on the Project and on the issues they believe should be 
addressed in the EIS.
    More information about this Project and the Commission's EIS 
process is available in the Notice of Intent to Prepare an 
Environmental Impact Statement for the Planned Sasabe Lateral Project 
and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues (NOI), issued on 
August 1, 2012. The NOI also provides details on how to submit written 
comments in lieu of or in addition to verbal comments on the Project.
