Agency Engagement and Outreach Toolkit

The goal of the Agency Engagement and Outreach (AEO) Program is to provide agency field staff throughout the country with educational and informational tools pertaining to natural gas pipeline system projects. The items in this toolkit, which include four infographics and seven narrated videos, have been developed by industry experts to assist in this goal. 



Environmental Resource Evaluation and Protection Videos
These seven short, narrated presentations describe the types of resources project sponsors/applicants are required to evaluate as part of a FERC-regulated project, including the identification of potential impacts and protection measures. Video topics include:
