Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP16-64-000]


ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review 
of the Collierville Expansion Project

    On January 20, 2016, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR) filed an 
application in Docket No. CP16-64-000 requesting a Certificate of 
Public Convenience and Necessity pursuant to section 7(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act to construct and operate certain natural gas pipeline 
facilities. The proposed project is known as the Collierville Expansion 
Project (Project). The Project would expand the delivery capability of 
the existing Collierville Meter Station by an additional 200,000 
dekatherms per day, enabling ANR to provide requested service to the 
Tennessee Valley Authority's pending Allen Combined Cycle Power Plant 
in Memphis, Tennessee.
    On February 3, 2016, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
(Commission or FERC) issued its Notice of Application for the Project. 
Among other things, that notice alerted agencies issuing federal 
authorizations of the requirement to complete all necessary reviews and 
to reach a final decision on a request for a federal authorization 
within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's 
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Project. This instant notice 
identifies the FERC staff's planned schedule for the completion of the 
EA for the Project.

Schedule for Environmental Review

Issuance of EA--July 29, 2016
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline--October 27, 2016

    If a schedule change becomes necessary, additional notice will be 
provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the 
Project's progress.

Project Description

    The Project would consist of the following:
     A new Collierville Compressor Station containing one 4,700 
horsepower gas turbine compressor unit and ancillary equipment, 
including an emergency generator unit, a condensate tank, new control 
building, and compressor building;
     suction and discharge interconnect station piping; and
     upgrades to the existing Collierville Meter Station.

Background

    On February 26, 2016, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent to 
Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Collierville 
Expansion Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues 
(NOI). The NOI was sent to affected landowners; federal, state, and 
local government agencies; elected officials; environmental and public 
interest groups; Native American tribes; other interested parties; and 
local libraries and newspapers. The Commission did not receive comments 
in response to the NOI.

Additional Information

    In order to receive notification of the issuance of the EA and to 
keep track of all formal issuances and submittals in specific dockets, 
the Commission offers a free service called eSubscription. This can 
reduce the amount of time you spend researching proceedings by 
automatically providing you with notification of these filings,
