# Alliance Pipeline, L.P.; Notice Suspending Environmental Review Schedule of the Proposed Three Rivers Interconnection Project
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) is suspending the environmental review schedule of the Three Rivers Interconnection Project (Project) involving construction and operation of facilities by Alliance Pipeline, L.P. (Alliance) in Grundy County, Illinois. The *Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Three Rivers Interconnection Project, Request for Comments on Environmental Issues, and Schedule for Environmental Review,* issued on February 10, 2022, identified a September 16, 2022 final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) issuance date. As stated in the notice, the Project would be located in the vicinity of a facility regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission which could require the completion of a safety analysis, and additional time may be necessary to consider the results of that analysis.
In its most recent response to FERC staff's request concerning the status of this safety analysis, Alliance stated that it anticipated that the operator of the nearby nuclear facility (Constellation Energy Generation, LLC) would finalize the required safety analysis by the end of August 2022. However, to date, the safety analysis remains outstanding.
Therefore, the Commission will suspend the environmental review schedule for the Project. Once Alliance provides the outstanding information, the Commission will issue a revised schedule for the final EIS. This is not a suspension of the Commission staff's review of the Project. Staff will continue to process Alliance's proposal to the extent possible based upon the information filed to date while awaiting the remaining information.
