2022-22365. Gas Transmission Northwest LLC; Notice of Revised Schedule for Environmental Review of the GTN XPress Project

This notice provides the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission staff's revised schedule for completion of the environmental impact statement (EIS) for Gas Transmission Northwest LLC's (GTN) GTN XPress Project. The Notice of Intent issued on January 21, 2022 identified October 14, 2022 as the final EIS issuance date. However, numerous comments filed during the draft EIS comment period require additional time for Commission staff's analysis. As a result, staff has revised the schedule for issuance of the final EIS.

Schedule for Environmental Review

Issuance of the Notice of Availability of the final EIS—November 18, 2022

90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline ^[1] —February 16, 2023

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

Additional Information

In order to receive notification of the issuance of the EIS 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, document summaries, and direct links to the documents. Go to https://www.ferc.gov/​ferc-online/​overview to register for eSubscription.

Additional information about the Project is available from the Commission's Office of External Affairs at (866) 208-FERC or on the FERC website ( www.ferc.gov).
