Nation Regarding the Proposed Red Lake Gas Storage Project


February 4, 2003.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) 
is issuing this notice to announce the date and location of a meeting 
with the Hualapai Nation to address certain issues regarding the 
proposed Red Lake Gas Storage Project. The meeting will be held on 
February 12, 2003, at 1 pm, at the Hualapai Nation's Tribal 
Multipurpose Building in Peach Springs, Arizona 86434. This is a 
rescheduled meeting that was supposed to have been held on January 24, 
2003.
    The Commission staff will be preparing an environmental assessment 
(EA) for Red Lake Gas Storage, L.P.''s (Red Lake) proposed project in 
Mohave County, Arizona, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of the 
Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Arizona Department of 
Environmental Quality (ADEQ), and the Arizona Game and Fish Department 
(AGFD). The planned facilities would consist of two solution-mined 
underground salt caverns, about 52 miles of various diameter pipeline, 
a 25,000-horsepower (hp) compressor station, a 9,000-hp compressor 
station, four water withdrawal wells, four brine disposal wells, and 
appurtenant facilities. The EA will be used by the Commission in its 
decision-making process to determine whether the project is in the 
public convenience and necessity.
    In view of the potential for impacts to resources of special 
concern to the Hualapai Nation resulting from construction of the 
proposed project, the meeting will not be open to the public. 
Attendance at the meeting will be limited to the Hualapai Tribal 
Council, members of the Hualapai Tribe, and representatives of the
