The action pending is granting right-of-way permits for crossing Federal lands. A 6,280-mile underground pipeline has been proposed to transport natural gas from Prudhoe Bay (Alaska) to markets in the lower United States. The pipeline will cross all or portions of Alaska; Yukon Territory, Northwest Territories, British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan (Canada); and Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, California, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania in the lower United States. As proposed, all activities necessary for pipeline construction and operation will be phased over an 8-year period. Of all lands traversed by the proposal, 999.5 miles will involve lands and waters under the jurisdiction of five Federal agencies who must issue right-of-way permits. Other permits or licenses also must be issued by Federal agencies before construction may begin or the project becomes operational.
