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.
Richard E. Sanderson,
Director, Office of Federal Activities, Environmental Protection 
Agency.
