SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Honeywell
International Inc. TPE331 turboprop and TSE331 turboshaft engines. The
NPRM published in the Federal Register on September 13, 2017 (82 FR
42957). The NPRM was prompted by recent reports of failures of the
direct drive fuel control gears and bearings in the hydraulic torque
sensor gear assembly, P/N 3101726-3. The NPRM proposed to require
initial and repetitive engine oil filter sampling and analysis of the
affected engines. The NPRM also proposed to require inspection of the
hydraulic torque sensor gear assemblies that do not meet oil filter
inspection requirements and improved component overhaul procedures that
would remove from service, by attrition, certain P/N hydraulic torque
sensor gear assemblies. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this final rule. The following presents the comments received on the
NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Revise Compliance Time for Resampling

    The National Agricultural Aviation Association (NAAA) commented
that additional compliance time may be required for oil filter analysis
resampling beyond the 25 hours time-in-service proposed by the NPRM.
The NAAA noted that the engine may re-enter service after oil sampling.
Therefore, the 25 hours time-in-service may be exceeded prior to the
operators receiving notification from the laboratory that performed the
oil filter analysis.
    We agree that the proposed compliance time may have resulted in
operators exceeding the 25 hours time-in-service before receiving the
results of the oil filter analysis. We, therefore, revised the
requirement time for resampling in this AD to 25 hours time in service
after receiving notification from the accredited laboratory performing
the oil filter analysis. We determined that allowing this additional
time in service will improve the quality of the sample. We also
clarified that if an inspection or resample is required, then the
inspection must occur within 5 days after receiving notification from
the laboratory that performed the oil filter analysis.

Request To Revise Compliance Time for Initial Sample

    Honeywell requested that we increase the compliance time for
obtaining an oil filter sample from 150 to 200 hours. Honeywell
commented that Honeywell Service Bulletin (SB) TPE331-72-0180 indicates
a 200-hours compliance time for TPE331-10 operators with at least 800
operating hours per year. Honeywell noted that this compliance time
coincides with scheduled maintenance intervals for operators.
    We disagree. We are attempting to detect impending torque sensor
failures using set response times and reduced oil filter sampling and
analysis intervals. We find, therefore, that the 150-hour compliance
time meets the safety objectives of this AD. Further, we did not
receive any comments from part 121

or part 135 operators indicating a concern with the inspection interval
of 150 hours. We did not change this AD.

Request To Revise Number of Resampling Tests

    NAAA and Copperstate Turbine Engine Company commented that a single
resampling allowance that may lead to a gearbox inspection is too
stringent. They indicated that oil filter resampling experience has
shown that multiple resampling tests may be necessary. NAAA commented
that the source of the contamination may not always be the material
caused by the torque sensor failure. In this situation, NAAA indicated
that another resampling, without the inspection, may be warranted. NAAA
commented that the sample analysis should guide maintenance personnel
in the proper direction without having to tear down an engine
unnecessarily.
    We partially agree. We agree that some wear elements, such as
silver and aluminum, found during the initial oil filter analysis could
permit more than one resampling before a required gearbox inspection.
We also agree because these elements or alloys may not cause
accelerated wear and possible failure of the torque sensor assembly. We
disagree with changing the AD because the commenters have not produced
evidence that the presence of certain elements may not contribute to
the failure of the torque sensor. We will consider AMOC requests to
allow additional oil filter resamples before requiring a gearbox
inspection provided we receive acceptable technical justification. We
did not change this AD.

Request To Update Service Information

    Honeywell requested that we revise our reference to the service
bulletin to refer to the latest revision.
    We agree. We updated the reference in the Other Related Service
Information paragraph in this AD to Revision 38 of Honeywell SB TPE331-
72-0180.

Request To Clarify Differences Paragraph

    Honeywell requested that we clarify the ``Differences Between This
Proposed AD and the Service Information'' section in the NPRM.
    We disagree. The referenced paragraph does not exist in the final
rule and the compliance requirements were clearly defined in the NPRM.
We did not change this AD.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this final rule with the changes described previously and minor
editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     [Agr]re consistent with the intent that was proposed in
the NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final
rule.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Honeywell Service Information Letter (SIL) P331-97,
Revision 11, dated July 23, 2008. The SIL describes procedures for
conducting the spectrometric oil and filter analysis program to sample
and analyze metal particles in the engine lubricating system. This
service information is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Other Related Service Information

    We reviewed the improved procedures and limitations in the
Honeywell Torque Sensor Gear Assembly Overhaul Manual with Illustrated
Parts List, 72-00-17, Revision 10, dated October 31, 2013, for the
TPE331 and TSE331 torque sensor gear assemblies. We also reviewed
Honeywell's TPE331 Line Maintenance Training Manual which provides
guidance for obtaining oil filter samples. In addition, we reviewed
Honeywell SBs TPE331-72-0402, Revision 6, dated November 26, 1997;
TPE331-72-0403, Revision 5, dated January 20, 1989; TPE331-72-0404,
Revision 8, dated September 13, 2016; TPE331-72-0823, Revision 3, dated
September 13, 1996; TSE331-72-5003, Revision 3, dated January 20, 1989;
and TPE331-72-0180, Revision 38, dated August 15, 2017. The SBs address
the inspection intervals for the oil and filter analysis for the
affected TPE331 and TSE331 engines.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 3,831 engines installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry. We estimate the following costs to comply
with this AD:
    We estimate that 3,831 engines will require a records review to
determine if they have an affected hydraulic torque sensor gear
assembly installed.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to engines, propellers, and
associated appliances to the Manager, Engine and Propeller Standards
Branch, Policy and Innovation Division.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

    Title: NPDES Stormwater Program Phase II.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1820.04, OMB Control No. 2040-0211.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2006.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: This ICR calculates the burden and costs associated with
the regulation of stormwater discharges under Phase II of the NPDES
stormwater program. Specifically, it calculates the burden associated
with small MS4 stormwater permits, small construction (1-5 acres)
permits and waivers, and the no-exposure certification (EPA form 3510-
11) available to industrial facilities. The ICR also specifies the
burden on authorized NPDES States to process and administer the Phase
II program.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 14
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are NPDES permittees, including operators of small
municipal separate storm sewer systems, small construction activity,
and industrial facilities identified in 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14)(i)-(ix)
and (xi) that qualify for a no exposure exemption.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 135,908.
    Frequency of Response: Varies.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,696,276 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $157,922,968, includes $0 annualized
capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The estimated decrease in burden is
1,262,076 hours compared to the total estimated burden hours currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This change is
primarily the result of the decrease in the estimated size of the
regulated universe (based on EPA's estimate of the number of
construction sites affected by this information collection).

0.0	INTRODUCTION

Both copper and zinc naphthenates are microbiocide/microbiostat,
miticide, fungicide, insecticide, algaecide and herbicide/terrestrial
chemicals. Use sites for copper naphthenate include pressure treatment
and non –pressure treatment of wood for exterior uses (residential and
non-residential), wood used in contact with fresh or salt water, and
exterior wood exposed to moisture or weather. Copper naphthenate is also
used in brush, dip, roller, and low pressure spray applications for the
same uses listed above, and in addition is used for greenhouse and
horticultural uses (non-food applications including wooden seedling
trays, plant and flower boxes for ornamental plantings, trellises,
arbors, greenhouse benches, and nursery flats).  Application by
occupational applicators only includes brush, dip, roller, and low
pressure spray to beverage cases, baskets, tents, awnings, tarpaulins,
canvas products, nets [except fishnets], ropes, cordage, lumber for
ammunition boxes, other boxes, crates, and miscellaneous non –food
contact containers, truck and boat covers, non-rubber fabrics, and
burlap. Copper naphthenate is also used as a remedial treatment for
standing wood utility poles, mine timbers, bridge timbers, and
cross-ties and stakes.

Zinc naphthenate use sites are the same as for copper naphthenate but do
not include remedial treatments or to beverage cases, etc. as listed for
copper naphthenate.

The purpose of this chapter is to review the evidence of health effects
in humans resulting from exposure to copper or zinc naphenate, alone or
combination.

Two approaches are used in this section:

The potential health effects of copper or zinc naphenate, alone or
combination in humans, reported as incident reports from different
sources, are summarized.

A literature search of chronic health effects associated with copper or
zinc naphenate, alone or combination exposure, including results of
epidemiological studies, are summarized.

This reports summarized the potential health effects of copper or zinc
naphenate, alone or combination in humans, reported as incident reports
from different sources.

1.0	INCIDENT REPORT DATA ASSOCIATED WITH HEALTH EFFECTS OF COPPER OR
ZINC NAPHENATE EXPOSURE

The following databases have been consulted for the poisoning incident
data on the active ingredient copper or zinc naphenates (PC Code:
024002)

OPP Incident Data System (IDS) - The Incident Data System of The Office
of Pesticide Programs (OPP) of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
contains reports of incidents from various sources, including
registrants, other federal and state health and environmental agencies
and individual consumers, submitted to OPP since 1992.  Reports
submitted to the Incident Data System represent anecdotal reports or
allegations only, unless otherwise stated.  Typically no conclusions can
be drawn implicating the pesticide as a cause of any of the reported
health effects.  Nevertheless, sometimes with enough cases and/or enough
documentation risk mitigation measures may be suggested.

Poison Control Centers - as the result of a data purchase by EPA, OPP
received Poison Control Center data covering the years 1993 through 2002
for all pesticides.  Most of the national Poison Control Centers (PCCs)
participate in a national data collection system, the Toxic Exposure
Surveillance System, which obtains data from about 65-70 centers at
hospitals and universities.  PCCs provide telephone consultation for
individuals and health care providers on suspected poisonings, involving
drugs, household products, pesticides, etc.

California Department of Pesticide Regulation - California has collected
uniform data on suspected pesticide poisonings since 1982.  Physicians
are required, by statute, to report to their local health officer all
occurrences of illness suspected of being related to exposure to
pesticides.  The majority of the incidents involve workers.  Information
on exposure (worker activity), type of illness (systemic, eye, skin,
eye/skin and respiratory), likelihood of a causal relationship, and
number of days off work and in the hospital are provided.

National Pesticide Telecommunications Network (NPTN) - NPTN is a
toll-free information service supported by OPP. A ranking of the top 200
active ingredients for which telephone calls were received during
calendar years 1984-1991, inclusive, has been prepared. The total number
of calls was tabulated for the categories human incidents, animal
incidents, calls for information, and others.

Published Incident Reports - Some incident reports associated with
copper or zinc naphenates related human health hazard are published in
the scientific literature.

1.1	OPP’s Incident Data System (IDS)

Since 1992, only one incidence associated with copper or zinc
naphthenate, alone or in combination is recorded in IDS. In 1993, a
family had a handy man apply copper naphthenate containing wood
preservative to the wood under the porch of their house.  Shortly after
application, a strong odor was noticed and adverse health effects was
reported. No clear symptoms were described in the report. The household
members moved from their house for several months in order to escape the
fumes. The label did not specify the rate per area should be applied and
does not advise persons living in treated area to leave the area to
avoid breathing vapors.

1.2	Poison Control Center (1993 – 2002)

No incidences associated with copper or zinc naphthenate are reported in
the Poison Center data base.

1.3 	California Data - 1982 through 2004

Detailed descriptions of 103 cases with a definite or probable
relationship cases submitted to the California Pesticide Illness
Surveillance Program (1982-2004) were reviewed. Table 1 presents the
types of illnesses reported by year.  Table 2 gives the total number of
workers that took time off work as a result of their illness and how
many were hospitalized and for how long.

1.4	National Pesticide Telecommunications Network (NPTN)

There is no incidences reported in the NPTN database related to copper
or zinc naphthenate, alone or in Combination exposure.

1.5			Incident Reports Associated Published in Scientific Literature.

There is one incidence reported in scientific literature (Bluhm, 1992),
a family of three individuals who lived in a home where copper
naphthenate was sprayed on the inner foundation of the house.
Subsequently, these individuals developed non-specific complaints. In
two of these individuals, serum copper levels were elevated when first
measured months after copper naphthenate was sprayed in the home. A
gradual decline over several years in urine and serum copper levels was
observed in the individual who maintained follow-up. It is not known if
symptoms reflected exposure to naphthenate, the solvent vehicle,
volatilized copper, or the stress of exposure to a odor of the compound
perceived as toxic.

2.0	SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

There are some incidences been reported associated with exposure to
end-use products containing copper and/or zinc naphthenates. Although,
naphthenates are skin irritant in man and in rabbits, not many skin
related incidences are reported.  Itchy rashes are the primary reported
complaints through dermal exposure.  Incidence associated with
inhalation exposed to vapors of a pesticide containing copper
naphthenate, with it strong odor, complained of nausea, head ache,
dizziness, sore throat, dry throat, chest tightness, coughing are
commonly reported. It is not known if symptoms reflected exposure to
naphthenate, the solvent vehicle, volatilized copper, or the stress of
exposure to a strong odor compound perceived as toxic.

The most common symptoms reported for cases of ocular exposure were eye
irritation/burning.  Eye pain and swelling of eyes also been reported in
some incidence.  There is no exposure incidences associated with oral
exposure is reported.

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes.
This proposed AD was prompted by reports of drainage holes on the belly
fairing forward and middle access panels being obstructed with sealant.
This proposed AD would require inspecting for and removing all sealant
blocking the drainage holes on the belly fairing forward and middle
access panels. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition
on these products.

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2018-14, dated May 1, 2018 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-1A10 and
BD-700-1A11 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Bombardier Aerospace (BA) has informed Transport Canada that the
drainage holes on the belly fairing forward and middle access panels
may be obstructed with sealant. The purpose of the drainage holes is
to allow for drainage of a limited quantity of fluids due to any
leaks, should they occur. This condition, if not corrected, may
prevent the timely detection of fluid leakage that could lead to the
accumulation of flammable fluids/vapors, beyond the design capacity
of the belly fairing venting provisions [which could ignite if an
ignition source (i.e., spark, static discharge, heat, etc.) is
present].
    This [Canadian] AD is issued to mandate the removal of all
sealant blocking the drainage holes on the belly fairing forward and
middle access panels.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2018-
0796.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Bombardier, Inc., has issued the following service information for
Bombardier Model BD-700-1A10 airplanes.
     Service Bulletin 700-53-051, dated May 17, 2017.
     Service Bulletin 700-53-6009, dated May 17, 2017.
    Bombardier, Inc., has issued the following service information for
Bombardier Model BD-700-1A11 airplanes.
     Service Bulletin 700-1A11-53-026, dated May 17, 2017.
     Service Bulletin 700-53-5010, dated May 17, 2017.
    This service information describes procedures for inspecting for
and removing sealant blocking the drainage holes on the belly fairing
forward and middle access panels. These documents are distinct since
they apply to different airplane models and configurations. This
service information is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all the relevant information and determined the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on other
products of the same type design.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 376 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on

products identified in this rulemaking action.
    This proposed AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated
by the Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as
authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order,
issuance of ADs is normally a function of the Compliance and
Airworthiness Division, but during this transition period, the
Executive Director has delegated the authority to issue ADs applicable
to transport category airplanes to the Director of the System Oversight
Division.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP21-94-000]

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC; Notice of Intent To
Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Regional
Energy Access Expansion Project, Request for Comments on Environmental
Issues, and Schedule for Environmental Review

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) that
will discuss the environmental impacts of the Regional Energy Access
Expansion Project (Project) involving construction and operation of
facilities by Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC (Transco) in
Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Luzerne, Monroe, Northampton, Wyoming, and
York Counties, Pennsylvania; and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester,
Hunterdon, Mercer, Somerset, and Warren Counties, New Jersey; and
Baltimore County, Maryland. The Commission will use this EIS in its
decision-making process to determine whether the project is in the
public convenience and necessity. The schedule for preparation of the
EIS is discussed in the Schedule for Environmental Review section of
this notice.
    As part of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review
process, the Commission takes into account concerns the public may have
about proposals and the environmental impacts that could result
whenever it considers the issuance of a Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity. This gathering of public input is referred
to as ``scoping.'' By notice issued on July 24, 2020, in Docket No.
PF20-3-000, the Commission opened a scoping period during Transco's
pre-filing process; and staff intends to prepare an EIS that will
address the concerns raised during that scoping period as well as
comments received in response to this notice. Therefore, the Commission
requests comments on potential alternatives and impacts, and any
relevant information, studies, or analyses of any kind concerning
impacts affecting the quality of the human environment. To ensure that
your comments are timely and properly recorded, please submit your
comments so that the Commission receives them in Washington, DC on or
before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 19, 2021. Further details on
how to submit comments are provided in the Public Participation section
of this notice.
    As mentioned above, the Commission previously opened a scoping
period which expired on August 24, 2020. All substantive written and
oral comments provided during scoping will be addressed in the EIS.
Therefore, if you submitted comments on this Project to the Commission
during the previous scoping process, you do not need to file those
comments again.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company
representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. The company
would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable easement agreement. You
are not required to enter into an agreement. However, if the Commission
approves the Project, the Natural Gas Act conveys the right of eminent
domain to the company. Therefore, if you and the company do not reach
an easement agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation
proceedings in court. In such instances, compensation

would be determined by a judge in accordance with state law. The
Commission does not grant, exercise, or oversee the exercise of eminent
domain authority. The courts have exclusive authority to handle eminent
domain cases; the Commission has no jurisdiction over these matters.
    Transco provided landowners with a fact sheet prepared by the FERC
entitled ``An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I
Need To Know?'' which addresses typically asked questions, including
the use of eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission's
proceedings. This fact sheet along with other landowner topics of
interest are available for viewing on the FERC website (www.ferc.gov)
under the Natural Gas Questions or Landowner Topics link.

Public Participation

    There are three methods you can use to submit your comments to the
Commission. The Commission encourages electronic filing of comments and
has staff available to assist you at<PHONE_NUMBER> or
[email protected]. Please carefully follow these instructions
so that your comments are properly recorded.
    (1) You can file your comments electronically using the eComment
feature, which is located on the Commission's website (www.ferc.gov)
under the link to FERC Online. Using eComment is an easy method for
submitting brief, text-only comments on a project;
    (2) You can file your comments electronically by using the eFiling
feature, which is located on the Commission's website (www.ferc.gov)
under the link to FERC Online. With eFiling, you can provide comments
in a variety of formats by attaching them as a file with your
submission. New eFiling users must first create an account by clicking
on ``eRegister.'' You will be asked to select the type of filing you

on a Filing''; or
    (3) You can file a paper copy of your comments by mailing them to
the Commission. Be sure to reference the project docket number (CP21-
94-000) on your letter. Submissions sent via the U.S. Postal Service
must be addressed to: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington, DC
20426. Submissions sent via any other carrier must be addressed to:
Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
12225 Wilkins Avenue, Rockville, MD 20852.
    Additionally, the Commission offers a free service called
eSubscription. This service provides automatic notification of filings
made to subscribed dockets, document summaries, and direct links to the
documents. Go to https://www.ferc.gov/ferc-online/overview to register

Summary of the Proposed Project, the Project Purpose and Need, and
Expected Impacts

    Transco plans to construct and operate approximately 36.1 miles of
pipeline loop \1\ and one new compressor station, as well as modify
existing compressor stations and facilities in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey. The Project would provide about 829 million standard cubic feet
of natural gas per day to multiple delivery points along Transco's
existing system in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland. According to
Transco, its Project would provide its customers with enhanced access
to Marcellus and Utica Shale natural gas supplies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A pipeline loop is a segment of pipe constructed parallel to
an existing pipeline to increase capacity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Project would consist of the following facilities:
     Installation of 22.3 miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline
loop in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania (Regional Energy Lateral);
     installation of 13.8 miles of 42-inch-diameter pipeline
loop in Monroe County, Pennsylvania (Effort Loop);
     installation of the new electric-motor driven Compressor
Station 201 (9,000 horsepower [hp]) in Gloucester County, New Jersey);
     installation of two gas turbine driven compressor units
(31,800 hp) at existing Compressor Station 505 in Somerset County, New
Jersey to accommodate the replacement of 16,000 hp from eight existing
compressors and increase the certificated station compression by 15,800
hp;
     installation of two gas turbine compressor units (63,742
hp) and modifications to three existing compressors at existing
Compressor Station 515 in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania to accommodate
the replacement of 17,000 hp from five existing compressors and
increase the certificated station compression by 46,742 hp;
     modifications at existing compressor stations, meter
stations, interconnects, and ancillary facilities in Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, and Maryland; and
     installation of ancillary facilities such as mainline
valves, communication facilities, and pig \2\ launchers and receivers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ A ``pig'' is a tool that the pipeline company inserts into
and pushes through the pipeline for cleaning the pipeline,
conducting internal inspections, or other purposes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The general location of the Project facilities is shown in appendix
1.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The appendices referenced in this notice will not appear in
the Federal Register. Copies of the appendices were sent to all
those receiving this notice in the mail and are available at
www.ferc.gov using the link called ``eLibrary.'' For instructions on
connecting to eLibrary, refer to the last page of this notice. At
this time, the Commission has suspended access to the Commission's
Public Reference Room due to the proclamation declaring a National
Emergency concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19),
issued by the President on March 13, 2020. For assistance, contact
FERC at [email protected] or call toll free,<PHONE_NUMBER>
or TTY<PHONE_NUMBER>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Based on the environmental information provided by Transco,
construction of the proposed facilities would disturb about 807.7 acres
of land for the aboveground facilities and the pipeline. Following
construction, Transco would maintain about 231.2 acres for operation of
the Project facilities; the remaining acreage would be restored and
revert to former uses.
    Based on an initial review of Transco's proposal and public
comments, Commission staff have identified several expected impacts
that deserve attention in the EIS. The Project would impact 83
waterbodies, 17.4 acres of wetland, and greenhouse gas emissions.

The NEPA Process and the EIS

    The EIS issued by the Commission will discuss impacts that could
occur as a result of the construction and operation of the proposed
Project under the relevant general resource areas:
     Geology and soils;
     water resources and wetlands;
     vegetation and wildlife;
     threatened and endangered species;
     cultural resources;
     land use and visual impacts;
     socioeconomics and environmental justice;
     air quality and noise;
     reliability and safety; and
     cumulative impacts.
    Commission staff will also make recommendations on how to lessen or
avoid impacts on the various resource areas. Your comments will help
Commission staff focus its analysis on the issues that may have a
significant effect on the human environment.
    The EIS will present Commission staff's independent analysis of the
issues. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore and Philadelphia
Districts and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency are cooperating

agencies in the preparation of the EIS.\4\ Staff will prepare a draft
EIS which will be issued for public comment. Commission staff will
consider all timely comments received during the comment period on the
draft EIS and revise the document, as necessary, before issuing a final
EIS. Any draft and final EIS will be available in electronic format in
the public record through eLibrary \5\ and the Commission's natural gas
environmental documents web page (https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/natural-gas/environment/environmental-documents). If eSubscribed, you
will receive instant email notification when the environmental document
is issued.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Council on Environmental Quality regulations addressing
cooperating agency responsibilities are at Title 40 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), Section 1501.8. (2021).
    \5\ For instructions on connecting to eLibrary, refer to the
last page of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alternatives Under Consideration

    The EIS will evaluate reasonable alternatives that are technically
and economically feasible and meet the purpose and need for the
proposed action.\6\ Alternatives currently under consideration include:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 40 CFR 1508.1(z).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The no-action alternative, meaning the Project is not
implemented;
     use of other existing and proposed pipeline systems; and
     alternative locations to construct the Project facilities.
    With this notice, the Commission requests specific comments
regarding any additional potential alternatives to the proposed action
or segments of the proposed action. Please focus your comments on
reasonable alternatives (including alternative facility sites and
pipeline routes) that meet the Project objectives, are technically and
economically feasible, and avoid or lessen environmental impact.

Consultation Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act

    In accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
implementing regulations for section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, the Commission initiated section 106 consultation for
the Project in the notice issued on July 24, 2020, with the applicable
State Historic Preservation Offices, and other government agencies,
interested Indian tribes, and the public to solicit their views and
concerns regarding the Project's potential effects on historic
properties.\7\ This notice is a continuation of section 106
consultation for the Project. The Project EIS will document findings on
the impacts on historic properties and summarize the status of
consultations under section 106.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's regulations
are at Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 800. Those
regulations define historic properties as any prehistoric or
historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in
or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic
Places.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Schedule for Environmental Review

    On April 9, 2021, the Commission issued its Notice of Application
for the Project. Among other things, that notice alerted other agencies
issuing federal authorizations of the requirement to complete all
necessary reviews and to reach a final decision on the request for a
federal authorization within 90 days of the date of issuance of the
Commission staff's final EIS for the Project. This notice identifies
the Commission staff's planned schedule for completion of the final EIS
for the Project, which is based on an issuance of the draft EIS in
February of 2022.

Issuance of Notice of Availability of the final EIS--July 29, 2022
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline--October 27, 2022

    If a schedule change becomes necessary for the final EIS, an
additional notice will be provided so that the relevant agencies are
kept informed of the Project's progress.
