FERC staff has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the North Padre Island Lateral Abandonment Project (Docket No. CP26-4-000), proposed by Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC (Transco). Transco seeks authorization to abandon approximately 50 miles of 24-inch-diameter interstate natural gas transmission pipeline and associated facilities in Brooks, Jim Wells, Kenedy, and Kleberg Counties, Texas. The EA concludes that approval would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. Comments are due by May 22, 2026.123
