------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The primary goal of these scoping sessions is to have you identify 
the specific environmental issues and concerns that should be 
considered in the environmental document. Individual oral comments will 
be taken on a one-on-one basis with a court reporter. This format is 
designed to receive the maximum amount of oral comments in a convenient 
way during the timeframe allotted.
    Each scoping session is scheduled from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. 
Eastern Daylight Time. You may arrive at any time after 5:00 p.m. There 
will not be a formal presentation by Commission staff when the session 
opens. If you wish to speak, the Commission staff will hand out numbers 
in the order of your arrival. Comments will be taken until 7:00 p.m. 
However, if no additional numbers have been handed out and all 
individuals who wish to provide comments have had an opportunity to do 
so, staff may conclude the session at 6:30 p.m. Please see appendix 1 
for additional information on the session format and conduct.\1\

FERC staff or representative present) and become part of the public 
record for this proceeding. Transcripts will be publicly available on

instructions on using eLibrary). If a significant number of people are 
interested in providing oral comments in the one-on-one settings, a 
time limit of 5 minutes may be implemented for each commentor.
    It is important to note that the Commission provides equal 
consideration to all comments received, whether filed in written form 
or provided orally at a scoping session. Although there will not be a 
formal presentation, Commission staff will be available throughout the 
scoping session to answer your questions about the environmental review 
process. Representatives from Transco will also be present to answer 
project-specific questions.
