Landowner Notification INGAA Comments 7-30-07

Pursuant to the Commission’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“NOPR”) issued in this docket on June 22, 2007, 72 Fed. Reg. 35669 (June 29, 2007), the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (“INGAA”) submits the following comments on the Commission’s proposal to amend Part 157 of the Commission’s Regulations to require a noise survey following the completion of projects involving compressor facilities undertaken pursuant to blanket certificate authority. 


Accordingly, INGAA requests that the Commission clarify that only new compressor stations or the addition or modification to an existing compression unit are subject to the 55 dBA noise standard and reporting requirements.  To that end, INGAA proposes that the Commission amend its proposed regulation text by substituting “new compressor station or the addition or modification to an existing compression unit” in lieu of the word “facility” in line five.
