While we agree that there are instances where the frequency of inspections may warrant some relaxation, EPA should propose an absolute minimum of no more than biweekly. This will insure that the agency is no swamped with requests to valve inspection requirements. Container inspections are a very cost effective and efficient way to avoid serious environmental problems. We believe that it is in the public interest to establish an absolute minimum frequency for inspections and we believe that the frequency should not exceed two weeks.

Document #: 0211 40 CAR 264.115 ( EPA is taking comments and is not proposing any changes to these rules.

Comments: EPA is proposing to revise the rules in the future regarding whether a Certified Hazardous Materials Manager ( CHMM) can certify the closure certification report. TNRCC notes that existing 40CFR 264.115 rules require an independent registered professional engineer to certify that the hazardous waste management unit or the facility have been closed according to the specifications in the approved closure plan. EPA is proposing and taking comments on whether a CHMM is capable of performing closure certifications. A review of the requirements for certification as a CHMM that the candidate is not required to posses a technical degree of any sort. However, the individual applying for a CHMM certification without a degree must have at least 11 years of experience in a field related to hazardous materials management CHMM candidates holding a bachelor's degree must also process at least 7 years experience in a field related to hazardous materials management. Candidates hold a Master's degree or higher in a related field, must also have a minimum of 3 years of practical experience. In all cases, the individual must pass a professional multiple choice examination developed and administered by the Hazardous Materials Management Institute, a private organization. However, the professional engineering ( P. E.) requirements are more stringent and closely administered by individual state licensing board which are subject to state regulations. In order for an individual to obtain a P. E. license, the individual ( in most cases) must have a ES degree in engineering and requisite experience before he is allowed to take P. E. certification exams. The P. E. certification examination is a two step process: first, the candidate is required to take and pass an exam covering the fundamentals of engineering; next he/ she must take a comprehensive engineering exam in the respective field for which the license is sought. The registration, exams, and license requirements for P. E. s are administered by the state engineering board. The brief review of the CHMM requirements, indicates the CHMM standards are not as comprehensive or as stringent as those required for a P. E. In addition, the P. E. s are required to comply with state regulations that establish standards for such criteria as education, experience, professional conduct and ethics, liability and insurance, etc., there are no such established standards for the CHMM. Also, a licensed P. E., is only allowed  387 to practice in the field of engineering in which he has the necessary education or experience; it is unclear if such restrictions regulate the areas of engineering in which a CHMM can practice. Therefore, unless CHMM standards are as stringent as the P. E. requirements and are governed by some state regulatory criteria, it us bit advisable to allow CHMMs to authorize any of the various certification requirements. In addition, this proposal may conflict with state P. E. Board regulations. Therefore, in light of the aforementioned issues, TNRCC strongly recommends that EPA not allow CHMMs to authorize any engineering certification, unless he/ she is also a qualified independent professional engineer licensed to practice in the individual state.

Document #: 0213 We do not support this proposal.

Document #: 0241 We believe that it is important that all facilities continue to inspect containment buildings and their monitoring equipment at least once every seven days, regardless of the compliance record of the facility. A facility's enforcement history has little or no bearing on the need to check monitoring data, the potential for equipment breakdown or the development of leaks. Furthermore, allowing less frequent containment building inspections will not significantly reduce the paperwork burden because inspection reports are not required to be submitted to the Agency, but are kept in a log at the facility site.

Document #: 0352 Containment Buildings  Inspection of data from monitoring and leak detection equipment ( for liquids), the containment building, and the area immediately surrounding the building are required weekly by 264.11011( c)( 4) and 265.1101( c)( 4). For the same rationale present above for tanks, LANL supports EPA's proposal to allow any facility to file a case by case application for reduced containment building inspection frequencies using factors such as those described in 40 CAR 264.15( b)( 4).

Response to All Comments: The Agency has been persuaded by the arguments made by the commenters for retaining these requirements. With regard to comments concerning Hazardous Material Managers, please refer to the preamble.

264.1036 Process Vents ( Permitted)  Submit semi annual report of control device monitoring events to the Region: Proposed Action: Eliminate need to submit report  an unnecessary requirement given the detailed recordkeeping required by 264.1035. The 264.1035 information will be retained on site for regulators to examine.

Response to Comments: The Agency is retaining this requirements.  388 264.1061( b)( 1) Equipment Leaks ( Permitted)  Submit notification to implement the alternative valve standard:

Proposed Action: Eliminate  an unnecessary requirement since the relevant information will be retained in the facility record.

Response: The final rule eliminates the notifications for implementing and discontinuing alternative valve standards, alternative work practices fo valves, and the requirement for a semiannual report submission. The necessary information related to the report and the notifications is contained in the operating record and available for review during inspection.

264.1061( d) Equipment Leaks ( Permitted)  Submit notification to discontinue alternative valve standard: Proposed Action: Eliminate  an unnecessary requirement since there are standards that must be followed if the regular standards are going to be followed. Relevant information will be retained in the facility record. 264.1062( a)( 2) Equipment Leaks ( Permitted)  Submit notification to implement alternative work practices for valves: Proposed Action: Eliminate  an unnecessary reporting requirement as long as standards are followed. Relevant information will be retained in the facility record for regulators to examine.

See response for 265.1062( a)( 2) The final rule eliminates the notifications for implementing and discontinuing alternative valve standards, alternative work practices fo valves, and the requirement for a semi annual report submission. The necessary information related to the report and the notifications is contained in the operating record and available for review during inspection.

Response: The Agency proposed to eliminate notifications regarding implementing and discontinuing alternative valve standards. In addition, we proposed to eliminate notifications for implementing alternative work practices for valves. We also proposed elimination of the semiannual report with a record of equipment, shutdowns, and control device monitoring events.

We receive a number of comments on these proposed eliminations. Some commenters opposed elimination of notifications for alternative valve standards, believing that some technical review was needed to approve an alternative standard.

Another commenter opposed to eliminating these notifications argued that the report ( equipment leaks) should be submitted only if there have been problems with the equipment, and that the public has an interest in these reports and would not see the information if it were only  389 maintained at the facility.

Another commenter argued that the alternative valve standard should be self implementing, and there should be no need to submit a notification to implement the standard, since, since this information is retained in facility records. Similarly, this commenter also believed there was no need to submit alternative work practices for valves specified in 264.1062.

Another commenter believed the notifications are not necessary since the appropriate documentation will be in the facility's records, available for review during inspections. This reduces the administrative burden on both the facility and regulator.

Another commenter said that the record keeping requirements for facilities subject to Subpart BB are extensive, and that facility records would contain documentation on leaks from valves, pumps, and compressors and resulting repairs. Therefore, there should be no need for facilities to also submit semi annual reports with this same information.

The final rule eliminates the notifications for implementing and discontinuing alternative valve standards, alternative work practices fo valves, and the requirement for a semi annual report submission. The necessary information related to the report and the notifications is contained in the operating record and available for review during inspection. Furthermore, we believe that the information regarding the use or discontinued use of alternative valve standards need not be submitted but maintained on site.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP10-16-000]

Cadeville Gas Storage, LLC; Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Cadeville Gas Storage Project

April 30, 2010.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the
Cadeville Gas Storage Project proposed by Cadeville Gas Storage, LLC
(Cadeville) in the above referenced docket. Cadeville requests
authorization to convert a depleted natural gas production field into a
multi-cycle natural gas storage facility located in Ouachita Parish,
Louisiana.
    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Cadeville Gas Storage Project in
accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy
Act. The FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed project,
with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a major
federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment.
    The proposed Cadeville Gas Storage Project includes the following
facilities:
     Eight new natural gas injection/withdrawal wells and the
conversion of three existing wells to observation wells;
     A storage field pipeline network and associated
aboveground facilities including launcher/receiver facilities and valve
sites;
     One compressor station, comprised of five 4,735 horsepower
natural gas fueled engines with air intake filters/silencers, critical
grade exhaust silencer/catalyst, a triethylene glycol dehydration
system, control and safety systems, and associated facilities;

     An approximate 2.6-mile, 16-inch-diameter header pipeline
connecting the Compressor Station with the facilities of Tennessee Gas
Pipeline (Tennessee);
     An approximate 0.9-mile, 16-inch-diameter header
connecting the Compressor Station with the facilities of Gulf South
Pipeline Company, LP (Gulf South);
     An approximate 6.4 mile, 24-inch-diameter header pipeline
connecting the Compressor Station with the facilities of CenterPoint
Energy Gas Transmission (CenterPoint); and
     Three metering and regulation stations, one at each
interconnection point of the Cadeville Project with Tennessee,
CenterPoint and Gulf South.
    The storage field piping network would include the South Injection/
Withdrawal Pipeline (about 0.2 miles of 20-inch-diameter pipeline), and
the North Injection/Withdrawal Pipeline (about 1.4 miles of 16-inch-
diameter pipeline).
    The EA has been placed in the public files of the FERC and is
available for public viewing on the FERC's Web site at http://
www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link. A limited number of copies of the
EA are available for distribution and public inspection at: Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, Public Reference Room, 888 First Street,
NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Copies of the EA have been mailed to Federal, State, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes;
potentially affected landowners and other interested individuals and
groups; newspapers and libraries in the project area; and parties to
this proceeding.
    Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Your comments
should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable
alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts.
The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. To
ensure that your comments are properly recorded and considered prior to
a Commission decision on the proposal, it is important that the FERC
receives your comments in Washington, DC on or before July 29, 2010.
    For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to submit
your comments to the Commission. In all instances please reference the
