What changed
FERC issued a formal notice establishing the procedural schedule for preparing an Environmental Assessment for the Viola Project under CP26-74. The notice advises Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline and stakeholders of the timeline for FERC staff to complete the EA, including any associated data requests, site inspections, and public review periods. This is a procedural milestone in the certificate review process under the Natural Gas Act, not a substantive determination on project approval.
For Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline and project stakeholders, this notice signals that the environmental review phase is underway and compliance deadlines related to data submission will follow. Parties interested in the project's approval should monitor the docket for updates, as the EA may identify mitigations or conditions that affect project design and cost. No immediate operational or financial penalties arise from this notice, but delays in responding to FERC data requests during the EA process could affect the overall certificate timeline.
What to do next
- Monitor FERC docket CP26-74 for Environmental Assessment release and public comment opportunities
- Ensure all required environmental data and mitigation proposals are submitted per FERC's published schedule
- Review EA findings when published and prepare comments if project impacts are material to operations
