Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP14-21-000]


Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC; Notice of Availability of 
the Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Pompano Compressor 
Station 21.5 Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) has prepared this environmental assessment (EA) for the 
Pompano Compressor Station 21.5 Project proposed by Florida Gas 
Transmission Company, LLC (FGT) in the above-referenced docket. FGT 
requests authorization to construct, own, and operate new natural gas 
facilities in Broward County, Florida to provide additional delivery 
quantities to Florida Power & Light Company's Port Everglades Next 
Generation Clean Energy Center.
    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the 
construction and operation of the Pompano Compressor Station 21.5 
Project in accordance with the requirements of the National 
Environmental Policy Act. FGT's proposed project would include a new 
22,000 horsepower electric driven compressor station; 3,100 feet of 18- 
and 24-inch-diameter mainline pipeline; and appurtenant facilities in 
Broward County, Florida. The FERC staff concludes that approval of the 
proposed project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not 
constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality 
of the human environment.
    The EA has been placed in the public files of the FERC and is 
available for viewing on the FERC's Web site at www.ferc.gov using the 
eLibrary link. A limited number of copies of the EA are 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 of the EA were mailed to federal, state, and local 
government representatives and agencies; elected officials; public 
interest groups; Native American tribes; potentially affected 
landowners and other interested individuals and groups; newspapers and 
libraries in the project area; and parties to this proceeding. Any 
person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Your comments should 
focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, 
and measures to lessen or avoid environmental impacts. The more 
specific your comments, the more useful they will be. To ensure that 
your comments are properly recorded and considered prior to a 
Commission decision on the proposal, it is important that we receive 
your comments in Washington, DC on or before August 8, 2014.
    For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to submit 
your comments to the Commission. In all instances, please reference the 
project docket number (CP14-21-000) with your submission. The 
Commission encourages electronic filing of comments and has dedicated 
eFiling expert staff available to assist you at 202-502-8258 or 
efiling@ferc.gov.
    (1) You may file your comments electronically by using the eComment 
feature, which is located on the Commission's Internet Web site at 
www.ferc.gov under the link to Documents and Filings. An eComment is an 
easy method for interested persons to submit brief, text-only comments 
on a project;
    (2) You may file your comments electronically by using the eFiling 
feature, which is located at www.ferc.gov under the link to Documents 
and Filings. With eFiling, you can provide comments in a variety of 
formats by attaching them as a file with your submission. New eFiling 
users must first create an account by clicking on ``eRegister.'' You 
will be asked to select the type of filing you are making. A comment on

    (3) You may file a paper copy of your comments at the following 
address: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, 888 First Street NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426.
    Although your comments will be considered by the Commission, simply 
filing comments will not serve to make the commentor a party to the 
proceeding. Any person seeking to become a party to the proceeding must 
file a motion to intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 385.214).\1\ Only intervenors 
have the right to seek rehearing of the Commission's decision.

Internet in lieu of paper. See the previous discussion of filing 
comments electronically.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Affected landowners and parties with environmental concerns may be 
granted intervenor status upon showing good cause by stating that they 
have a clear and direct interest in this proceeding which would not be 
adequately represented by any other parties. You do not need intervenor 
status to have your comments considered.

Commission's Office of External Affairs at (866) 208-FERC or on the
