ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[ER-FRL-6249-1]
Notice of Public Hearing and Extension of the Public Comment
Period
AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), Research and
Special Programs Administration, Office of Pipeline Safety, and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 6, completed an
Environmental Assessment (EA) and preliminary Finding of No Significant
Impact (FNSI) on the proposed petroleum products pipeline to be
operated by Longhorn Partners Pipeline, L.P. The purpose of this notice
is to notify interested parties that EPA and DOT have scheduled a
public meeting on the Longhorn Partners Pipeline EA/FNSI on Monday,
January 10, 2000, at 6 P.M. at the City Coliseum, located at 101 Dawson
Rd., in south Austin, TX. An information ``open house'' will be held
from 4-6 P.M. This is a rescheduling of the November 16, 1999, meeting
in Austin, TX, which was terminated early due to overcrowding of the
meeting site. The Houston, TX; Fredericksburg, TX; Bastrop, TX; and El
Paso, TX meetings were conducted as previously scheduled. Consistent
with the rescheduling of the Austin public meeting, the comment period
is extended until Friday, January 14, 2000. A copy of the EA/FNSI is
available for public review at County Clerk Offices in counties along
the pipeline route, EPA's regional office, DOT's Houston regional
office, and at www.epa.gov/earth1r6/6en/xp/longhorn.htm on the EPA web
site. There is also an electronic mailbox so that citizens can submit
comments electronically to longhorn@epa.gov''. Address all comments
to Robert D. Lawrence (6EN-XP), EPA, 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, TX,
75202-2733.
Dated: December 14, 1999.
