Commission Extends Landowner Notification

摘要

The FERC took a step to strengthen landowner protections by approving a final rule that expands notification requirements for certain interstate natural gas pipeline construction and upgrade projects.rnThe rule, which amends the Commission's blanket certificate requirements, also requires noise surveys for completed compressor stations constructed or upgraded under blanket certificate authority. It directs natural gas companies planning to build or upgrade compressors or LNG facilities to notify all landowners of property located within one-half mile of the boundary of the project site before beginning construction.
