DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP06-66-002]

Port Barre Investments, LLC. (d/b/a Bobcat Gas Storage); Notice
of Amendment Application

September 27, 2007.
    On September 25, 2007, in Docket No. CP06-66-002, Port Barre
Investments, LLC. (d/b/a Bobcat Gas Storage (Bobcat)), pursuant to
section 7(c) of the Natural Gas, Act, as amended, and section 157
Subparts A of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, filed to amend its certificate issued on April 19, 2007 in
Docket No. CP06-66-001, 119 FERC ]61,057. The requested amendment would
increase the working

gas capacity of each of two authorized storage caverns from 6.75
billion cubic feet (Bcf) to 7.8 Bcf, increasing the total project
working gas capacity to 15.6 Bcf. Bobcat seeks no change to its
authorized maximum daily deliverability or daily injection rate.
Further, Bobcat asks that the Commission issue requested authorizations
on an expedited basis by March 31, 2008.
    Questions concerning the application should be directed to Paul W.
Bieniawski<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or Thomas R. Dill
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>at Bobcat Gas Storage, 1500 City West
Boulevard, Suite 560, Houston, Texas 77042, or by calling (713) 800-
3535, Facsimile:<PHONE_NUMBER> or Lisa M. Tonery<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
or Tania S. Perez<EMAIL_ADDRESS>at King & Spalding LLP, 1185
Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10036 or by calling<PHONE_NUMBER>,
Facsimile:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    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, 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 14 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.
    Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically
via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a) (1) (iii) and
the instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing''
link at http://www.ferc.gov. The Commission strongly encourages

intervenors to file electronically.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the

``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription''
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For
assistance with any FERC Online service, please e-mail:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call<PHONE_NUMBER> (toll free). For

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Antelope Valley
Air Quality Management District (AVAQMD) and South Coast Air Quality
Management District portions of the California State Implementation
Plan (SIP). Under authority of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990
(CAA or the Act), we are proposing to approve local rules that address
particulate matter (PM-10) emissions from open outdoor fires and from
wood burning devices.

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by July 13, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number EPA-R09-

OAR-2009-0142, by one of the following methods:

Francisco, CA 94105.
    Instructions: All comments will be included in the public docket
without change and may be made available online at http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information provided,
unless the comment includes Confidential Business Information (CBI) or
other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Information that you consider CBI or otherwise protected should be
clearly identified as such and should not be submitted through http://www.regulations.gov or e-mail. http://www.regulations.gov is an
``anonymous access'' system, and EPA will not know your identity or
contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment.
If you send e-mail directly to EPA, your e-mail address will be
automatically captured and included as part of the public comment. If
EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot
contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your
comment.
    Docket: The index to the docket for this action is available
electronically at http://www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at EPA
Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California. While all
documents in the docket are listed in the index, some information may
be publicly available only at the hard copy location (e.g., copyrighted
material), and some may not be publicly available in either location
(e.g., CBI). To inspect the hard copy materials, please schedule an
appointment during normal business hours with the contact listed in the
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Al Petersen, Permits Office (AIR-4),
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the approval of
AVAQMD Rule 444 and SCAQMD Rule 445. In the Rules and Regulations
section of this Federal Register, we are approving these local rules in
a direct final action without prior proposal because we believe this
SIP revision is not controversial. If we receive adverse comments,
however, we will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule
and address the comments in subsequent action based on this proposed
rule.
    Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.
    We do not plan to open a second comment period, so anyone
interested in commenting should do so at this time. If we do not
receive adverse comments, no further activity is planned. For further
information, please see the direct final action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Additional Information About the Proposed Settlement Agreements

    On September 22, 2009, EPA finalized the first comprehensive
reporting

program for greenhouse gases (``GHGs'') under the Clean Air Act
(``CAA'' or ``the Act''). 75 FR 56,260 (October 30, 2009) (``2009 Final
GHG Reporting Rule''). The 2009 Final GHG Reporting Rule requires
reporting of greenhouse gas emissions from large sources and suppliers
in the United States, and is intended to collect accurate and timely
emissions data to inform future policy decisions. Under the rule,
suppliers of fossil fuels or industrial greenhouse gases, manufacturers
of vehicles and engines, and facilities that emit 25,000 metric tons or
more per year of GHG emissions are required to submit annual reports to
EPA. The rule became effective December 29, 2009.
    Eight petitions for review were filed in the DC Circuit challenging
the 2009 Final GHG Reporting Rule: American Chemistry Council (09-
1325); Energy Recovery Council (09-1326); American Petroleum Institute
and National Petroleum Refiners Association (09-1328); The Fertilizer
Institute (09-1329); American Public Gas Association (09-1331); Kinder
Morgan CO2 Co., LP (09-1332); Utility Air Regulatory Group (09-1333);
and Environmental Defense Fund (09-1334). Five petitioners or groups of
petitioners also filed petitions for reconsideration of the 2009 Final
GHG Reporting Rule (American Public Gas Association; American Petroleum
Institute, et al.; the Energy Recovery Council; the Utility Air
Regulatory Group; and the Environmental Defense Fund). Both the
petitions for review in the DC Circuit, and the petitions for
reconsideration, raise issues with the final requirements of the 2009
Final GHG Reporting Rule. Upon EPA's motion, on February 22, 2010, the
court issued an order holding the consolidated cases in abeyance
pending EPA's consideration of the petitions for reconsideration and
the parties' settlement discussions.
    Under the proposed settlement agreements being noticed today, five
petitions for review would be dismissed in their entirety, and one
dismissed in part, if EPA proposes and finalizes certain revisions to
the 2009 Final GHG Reporting Rule. The administrative petitions filed
by the settling parties also would be deemed withdrawn under the terms
of the proposed settlement agreements. Two petitions for review--that
of the Environmental Defense Fund and that of Kinder Morgan CO2 Co.,
LP--would not be settled at this time. Rather, these petitions would
continue to be held in abeyance, pending further settlement discussions
or action by EPA that renders the petition(s) moot.
    Pursuant to the proposed settlement agreements, EPA would be
proposing and taking final action on four primary categories of changes
to the 2009 Final GHG Reporting Rule: (1) Revising the applicability
threshold for one source category; (2) revising the threshold for more
stringent monitoring for one type of combustion source; (3) providing
an option to request the continued use of best available monitoring
methods until 2015 if, at a complex facility, a shutdown or hot tap is
required to install measurement equipment; and (4) generally revising
monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements in various
subparts.
    For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication
of this notice, the Agency will accept written comments relating to the
proposed settlement agreements from persons who were not named as
parties or intervenors to the litigation in question. EPA or the
Department of Justice may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed
settlement agreements if the comments disclose facts or considerations
that indicate that such consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate,
or inconsistent with the requirements of the Act. Unless EPA or the
Department of Justice determines, based on any comment submitted, that
consent to these settlement agreements should be withdrawn, the terms
of the agreements will be affirmed.

II. Additional Information About Commenting on the Proposed Settlement
Agreements

A. How can I get a copy of the settlement agreements?

    The official public docket for this action (identified by Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OGC-2010-0575) contains copies of the proposed settlement
agreements. The official public docket is available for public viewing
at the Office of Environmental Information (OEI) Docket in the EPA
Docket Center, EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW.,
Washington, DC. The EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room is open from
8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal
holidays. The telephone number for the Public Reading Room is (202)
566-1744, and the telephone number for the OEI Docket is (202) 566-
1752.
    An electronic version of the public docket is available through
http://www.regulations.gov. You may use http://www.regulations.gov to
submit or view public comments, access the index listing of the
contents of the official public docket, and to access those documents
in the public docket that are available electronically. Once in the
system, key in the appropriate docket identification number then select
``search''.
    It is important to note that EPA's policy is that public comments,
whether submitted electronically or on paper, will be made available
for public viewing online at http://www.regulations.gov without change,
unless the comment contains copyrighted material, CBI, or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Information
claimed as CBI and other information whose disclosure is restricted by
statute is not included in the official public docket or in the
electronic public docket. EPA's policy is that copyrighted material,
including copyrighted material contained in a public comment, will not
be placed in EPA's electronic public docket but will be available only
in printed, paper form in the official public docket. Although not all
docket materials may be available electronically, you may still access
any of the publicly available docket materials through the EPA Docket
Center.

B. How and to whom do I submit comments?

    You may submit comments as provided in the ADDRESSES section.
Please ensure that your comments are submitted within the specified
comment period. Comments received after the close of the comment period
will be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late
comments.
    If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name, mailing address, and an e-mail address or other
contact information in the body of your comment and with any disk or
CD-ROM you submit. This ensures that you can be identified as the
submitter of the comment and allows EPA to contact you in case EPA
cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties or needs further
information on the substance of your comment. Any identifying or
contact information provided in the body of a comment will be included
as part of the comment that is placed in the official public docket,
and made available in EPA's electronic public docket. If EPA cannot
read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you
for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment.
    Use of the http://www.regulations.gov Web site to submit comments
to EPA electronically is EPA's preferred method for receiving comments.
The electronic public docket system is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity, e-mail address,

or other contact information unless you provide it in the body of your
comment. In contrast to EPA's electronic public docket, EPA's
electronic mail (e-mail) system is not an ``anonymous access'' system.
If you send an e-mail comment directly to the Docket without going
through http://www.regulations.gov, your e-mail address is
automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is
placed in the official public docket, and made available in EPA's
electronic public docket.
