2020-23405. Notice of Revised Schedule for Environmental Review of the Rio Bravo Pipeline Company, LLC Rio Bravo Pipeline Project Amendment

This notice identifies the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission staff's revised schedule for the completion of the environmental assessment (EA) for Rio Bravo Pipeline Company, LLC's Rio Bravo Pipeline Project Amendment. The first notice of schedule, issued on August 14, 2020, identified November 16, 2020, as the EA issuance date. Following issuance of the August 14th notice of schedule, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration requested cooperating agency status to review the EA, and staff required additional information from Rio Bravo Pipeline Company, LLC to further address scoping comments. As a result, staff has revised the schedule for issuance of the EA.

Schedule for Environmental Review

Issuance of the EA—December 21, 2020

90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline—March 22, 2021

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.
