    Title: Tolerance Petitions for Pesticides on Food/Feed Crops and
New Inert Ingredients.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0597.09; OMB Control No. 2070-0024.
    Abstract: This information collection will enable EPA to collect
adequate data to support the establishment of pesticide tolerances
pursuant to section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act
(FFDCA). A pesticide may not be used on food or feed crops unless EPA
has established a tolerance for the pesticide residues on that crop, or
established an exemption from the requirement to have a tolerance.
Responses to this collection are required to obtain tolerances or
exemptions from tolerances for pesticides used on food or feed crops,
pursuant to section 408 of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a, as amended by FQPA
(Pub. L. 104-170). Confidential Business Information (CBI) submitted to
EPA in response to this information collection is protected from
disclosure under FIFRA section 10.
    This ICR only applies to the information collection activities
associated with the submission of a petition for a tolerance action. It
is EPA's responsibility to ensure that the maximum residue levels
likely to be found in or on food/feed crops are safe for human
consumption through a careful review and evaluation of residue
chemistry and toxicology data. In addition, it must ensure that
adequate enforcement of the tolerance can be achieved through the
testing of submitted analytical methods. If the data are adequate for
EPA to determine that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will
result from aggregate exposure, the Agency will establish the tolerance
or grant an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance.
    Under the FFDCA, any person may petition EPA to propose the
issuance of a regulation establishing, modifying, or revoking (a) a
tolerance for a pesticide chemical residue in or on food, or (b) an
exemption from the requirement to have a tolerance for such residue.
Section 408 of FFDCA requires petitioners submit an information summary
of the petition and of the data, information and arguments submitted or
cited in support of the petition. In addition, EPA encourages
petitioners to voluntarily submit additional data in support of their
petitions to help the Agency determine whether there is a reasonable
certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1,726
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: Any person seeking a tolerance
action.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 150.
    Frequency of Response: As Needed.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 258,900.
    Estimated Total Annual Labor Cost: $23,973,150.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no increase or decrease in hours
in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory
of Approved ICR Burdens.

George Vanderschmidt:

You are our clients and we welcome your comments/feedback.

In front of you is the second draft of the Tribal Pilot Guidance and
today’s presentation

In the end this will be a regulation, a law that requires FEMA to work
with the tribes as savant nations with a specific set of rules very
different then how we work with the states

January 8 FEMA published this draft

All tribes received a letter from Administrator Fugate

567 Federally recognized tribes

2013 under the Sandy Recovery Improvement Act – Allowed Federally
recognized tribal governments to request a Federal Presidential
Declaration directly (first time), before only thru the governor/state

Since 2013 we have had 9 tribes request a Federal Declaration

Going forward we want to have specific guidelines for the tribes

Basic Concept of a Major Disaster Declaration is the disaster goes
beyond the capability for the tribe to respond or recover

Tribes can request on their own or tribes can go through the state
and/or both

Cost Share 75% Federal and 25% tribal.  President can waive or adjust
cost share

Stafford Act recreated FEMA and there are many amendments to support
tribes

Last Monday we talked with the southern tribes to get comments/feedback

Mashpee Wampanoag in Mashpee, MA

Narraganset Indian Tribe

Mohican Tribe

Stafford Act (State, Local, Tribal) – you can request

Public Assistance – i.e., roads and bridges owned by the tribe

Individual Assistance

Hazard migration

Two declarations

Emergency Declaration – i.e., shelter, cots, water, debris removal and
food (immediate)

Major Disaster Declaration – Beyond tribal and state capability to
recover, i.e., IA, permanent  work,

IA and PA assistance

$33,000 is the cap for IA, 2016 – two subdivisions are

Household – 100% federally covered

Other needs, i.e., television, stove, furniture, wood, funeral, trauma
counseling

Listing on page 5 for PA

Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Requirement

Tribal government must submit an approvable plan within 30 days of date
of declaration

You can request for an Time Extension

FEMA cannot obligate money without this plans in place

Submit your comments by porthole, email

Changes from first daft to second draft

IA requested changes from tribes

Eligibility

enrolled tribal members or non-enrolled member who may receive
assistance from tribe

Second draft – clarity from you the tribe, how do we identify who
should receive assistance

A list of names will have to be provided to FEMA from the tribes for
declaration

Second draft – changes from first draft on evaluation on damaged homes

FEMA spoke with Bruce Fitzgerald – Maine’s Emergency Manager about
attending this meeting and the decision is up to the Tribe to disperse
information from this meeting

Total vote from Tribe to not release minutes to Bruce Fitzgerald

Questions

Chief Brenda Commander - out of the 9 tribal declarations did they
choose to go through with a Presidential Declaration request and how did
that go?

George – Yes, they did with some challenges because we did not have
this guidance and had to refer to the Stafford Act

Chief Brenda Commander – Can we submit written comments

Bruce – Yes, until April 7, 2016

William Nicholas - What or is their threshold?  How do we meet that?

George – We cannot consider a declaration for PA under $3,000.00,
based on cost effective/high administration cost.  This doesn’t mean
you can’t request a declaration.

Remember you can request under the tribal or through the state.

Tribes can come under the state as a sub-grantee

Based on per capita each year for each state

Chief Brenda Commander – who has to approve these plans – Hazard
Mitigation

George – FEMA does

Linda Raymond – We service non-enrolled with medical and other
services, example widowers and children who live off the reservation we
would like them to be covered

George – So that I’m clear, when a declaration is declared the
tribes will provide the names of those who receives assistance?

FEMA will come back to you and ask if this person should receive
assistance or not

So you want a case by case on decision

Enrolled members living on a reservation or not is eligibly?  For
non-enrolled members we want to make sure that you want them covered

Linda Raymond – Yes

George and Bruce asked the group if this meeting could be shared with
Governor LaPage

Tribe agree upon not sharing any information from today’s meeting with
the Governor

Bruce Brodoff – Suggested free courses at EMI starting in August

Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on September 15, 2016, Texas Eastern Transmission,
LP (Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, TX 77056-5310,
filed an application in Docket No. CP16-501-000 pursuant to Section
7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and Part 157 of the Commission's
regulations, for a certificate of public convenience and necessity to
construct its Marshall County Mine Panel 17W Project. Texas Eastern
states its project is designed to ensure the safe and efficient
operation of Texas Eastern's existing pipeline facilities during the
longwall mining activities planned by Marshall County Coal Company in
the area beneath Texas Eastern's pipelines in Marshall County, West
Virginia. Texas Eastern proposes to excavate, elevate, and/or replace
certain sections of four different pipelines and appurtenant
facilities, all as more fully set forth in the application, which is on
file with the Commission and open for public inspection. The filing may
also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary''
link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the
docket number field to access the document. For assistance, please
contact FERC at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll free at (866) 208-
3676, or TTY,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions regarding the proposed project should be directed to
Lisa A. Connolly, General Manager, Rates and Certificates, Texas
Eastern Transmission, LP, P.O. Box 1642, Houston, TX 77251-1642, or by
calling<PHONE_NUMBER> (telephone), or<PHONE_NUMBER> (fax), or by
email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC
20426, a motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 7 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 5 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington,
DC 20426.

    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General
Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, and any changes,
or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart
OOO. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial
notification, performance tests, and periodic reports and results.
Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the
operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the
monitoring system is inoperative.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Nonmetallic mineral processing
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart OOO).
    Estimated number of respondents: 4,896 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and occasionally.
    Total estimated burden: 14,120 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,648,000 (per year), includes $228,000
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the respondent
burden from the most recently approved ICR. This increase is not due to
any program changes. The previous ICR reflected burdens and costs
associated with initial activities for subject facilities, including
performance testing and establishing recordkeeping systems. This ICR
accounts for the additional burden incurred by existing sources that
must conduct five-year performance testing during this ICR period. This
ICR also reflects an increase in the total number of respondents due to
industry growth. The overall result is an increase in total burden
hours and costs.
    EPA has also updated the capital/startup and O&M costs to reflect
the additional costs incurred by existing sources that must conduct
five year performance tests. This adjustment resulted in an overall
increase in the total capital/startup and O&M cost.
    There is a decrease in Agency burden from the most recently
approved ICR. The previous ICR's burden calculations largely
overestimated the number of existing sources submitting performance
test reports to EPA. We have adjusted the number of sources
accordingly. This adjustment resulted in the overall decrease in the
Agency burden.

National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation Empire Pipeline, Inc.;
Notice of Request for Extension of Time

    Take notice that on January 28, 2021, National Fuel Gas Supply
Corporation (National Fuel) and Empire Pipeline, Inc. (Empire)
(collectively, Applicants), requested that the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission) grant an extension of time, until
December 31, 2024, to complete construction of the Northern Access
Project (Project) and make the Project available for service, as
authorized in the February 3, 2017 Order Granting Abandonment and
Issuing Certificates (Certificate Order).\1\

nom., N.Y. State Dep't of Env't Conservation v. FERC, 991 F.3d 439
(2d Cir. 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Project consists of approximately 99 miles of new pipeline,
primarily 24-inches in diameter, to be constructed in McKean County,
Pennsylvania, and Allegany, Cattaraugus, Erie, and Niagara Counties,
New York; a new compressor station along Empire's system in Niagara
County, New York; and additional compression at National Fuel's
existing Porterville Compressor Station in Erie County, New York, as
well as new pipeline interconnects and various auxiliary and
appurtenant facilities. The Certificate Order required Applicants to
complete construction of the Project facilities and make them available
for service by February 3, 2019.\2\ In January 2019, the Commission
granted Applicants' request for a three-year extension, until February
3, 2022, to complete construction and place the Project facilities into
service.\3\ Due to legal, regulatory, and procurement delays,
Applicants now request an additional 34-month extension of time, until
December 31, 2024, to complete construction of the Project and place it
into service.

Pipeline, Inc., Docket No. CP15-115-000 (issued Jan. 31, 2019)
(National Fuel Letter Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This notice establishes a 15-calendar day intervention and comment
period deadline. Any person wishing to comment on National Fuel and
Empire's request for an extension of time may do so. No reply comments
or answers will be considered. If you wish to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this request, you should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file a motion to intervene in
accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10).
    As a matter of practice, the Commission itself generally acts on
requests for extensions of time to complete construction for Natural
Gas Act facilities when such requests are contested before order
issuance. For those extension requests that are contested,\4\ the
Commission will aim to issue an order acting on the request within 45
days.\5\ The Commission will address all arguments relating to whether
the applicant has demonstrated there is good cause to grant the
extension.\6\ The Commission will not consider arguments that re-
litigate the issuance of the certificate order, including whether the
Commission properly found the project to be in the public convenience
and necessity and whether the Commission's environmental analysis for
the certificate complied with the National Environmental Policy Act.\7\
At the time a pipeline requests an extension of time, orders on
certificates of public convenience and necessity are final and the
Commission will not re-litigate their issuance.\8\ The OEP Director, or
his or her designee, will act on all of those extension requests that
are uncontested.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Contested proceedings are those where an intervenor disputes
any material issue of the filing. 18 CFR 385.2201(c)(1) (2019).

    \6\ Id. at P 40.
    \7\ Similarly, the Commission will not re-litigate the issuance
of an NGA section 3 authorization, including whether a proposed
project is not inconsistent with the public interest and whether the
Commission's environmental analysis for the permit order complied
with NEPA.
