[Docket No. CP17-40-006]


Spire STL Pipeline LLC; Notice of Availability of the Final 
Environmental Impact Statement for the Spire STL Pipeline Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) has prepared a final environmental impact statement (EIS) 
for the continued operation of the Spire STL Pipeline Project (Spire 
STL), proposed by Spire STL Pipeline LLC (Spire) in the above-
referenced docket. Spire requests the Commission to reissue a 
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity authorizing operation 
of the Spire STL.
    The final EIS assesses the continued operation of the Spire STL in 
accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy 
Act (NEPA). FERC staff concludes that impacts from the continued 
operation of the Spire STL would be less than significant, with the 
exception of climate change impacts resulting from GHG emissions that 
are not characterized as significant or insignificant.
    The final EIS addresses the potential environmental effects of the 
continued operation of the following project facilities:
     59.2 miles of 24-inch-diameter pipeline in Scott, Greene, 
and Jersey Counties, Illinois and St. Charles and St. Louis Counties, 
Missouri;
     6.0 miles of 24-inch-diameter pipeline (the North County 
Extension) in St. Louis County, Missouri; and
     three new meter stations--the Rockies Express Pipeline LLC 
(REX) Receipt Station in Scott County, Illinois and the Laclede/Lange 
Delivery Station and Chain of Rocks station in St. Louis County, 
Missouri.
    The Commission mailed a copy of the Notice of Availability of the 
final EIS to federal, state, and local government representatives and 
agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups; 
Native American tribes; potentially affected landowners and other 
interested individuals and groups; and newspapers and libraries in the 
project area. The final EIS is only available in electronic format. It 
may be viewed and downloaded from the FERC's website (www.ferc.gov), on 
the natural gas environmental documents page (https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/natural-gas/environment/environmental-documents). In 
addition, the final EIS may be accessed by using the eLibrary link on 
the FERC's website. Click on the eLibrary link (https://elibrary.ferc.gov/eLibrary/search) select ``General Search'' and enter
