SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969; the Council on Environmental Quality Guidelines (40
CFR Part 1500); and the Natural Resources Conservation Service
Guidelines (7 CFR Part 650); the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, has decided to subordinate its
rights, acquired under the Wetland Reserve Program (WRP), to allow the
Southeast Supply Header, LLC to cross NRCS held conservations easements
associated with the Southeast Supply Header Project in Madison Parish,
LA.
    On December 18, 2006, SESH filed, in Docket No. CP07-446-000, an
application with the Commission pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural
Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's regulations for a Certificate
to construct, operate, and maintain an interstate natural gas pipeline
and associated ancillary and aboveground facilities.
    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has prepared a
final environmental impact statement (EIS) to fulfill requirements of
the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The purpose of this
document was to make public the analysis of the environmental impacts
that would likely result from the construction and operation of the
proposed Project. The NRCS participated as a cooperating agency in the
preparation of the EIS.
    The project will affect approximately 7 NRCS held Wetlands Reserve
Program (WRP) easements by creating a 50 ft. permanent right of way
(within a 100 ft. construction right-of-way) that extends for
approximately 269 miles of which 6.7 miles is over lands encumbered
under WRP easements located in Madison Parish, Louisiana. Of the 34,584
acres encumbered by WRP easements in Madison Parish, Louisiana 73.93
acres will be affected.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kevin D. Norton, State
Conservationist, Natural Resources Conservation Service, 3737
