Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP15-91-000]

East Tennessee Natural Gas, LLC; Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Loudon Expansion Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the
Loudon Expansion Project, proposed by East Tennessee Natural Gas, LLC
(East Tennessee) in the above-referenced docket. East Tennessee
requests authorization to construct, own, and operate a new pipeline,
new mainline valve, and new meter station in Monroe and Loudon
Counties, Tennessee and install a pressure regulator at an existing
meter station in Loudon County. The Loudon Expansion Project would
provide up to 40,000 Dekatherms per day of firm transportation service
Tate & Lyle Americas Ingredients, LLC for its new natural gas fueled
combined cycle electric power plant at its manufacturing facility in
Loudon County.
    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Loudon Expansion Project in
accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA). 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 Loudon Expansion Project includes the following
facilities:
     10.2 miles of new 12-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline
from East Tennessee's existing 3200 mainline in Monroe County,
Tennessee to the Tate & Lyle in Loudon County, Tennessee;
     one 12-inch mainline valve, two 12-inch tee taps, above-
and below-ground piping, and a pig launcher barrel in Monroe County;
     one new meter facility, above- and below-ground piping,
flow measurement and control equipment, a filter/separator, a pig
receiver barrel, aboveground valve operators for below ground valves,
blowdowns, and a condensate tank in Loudon County; and
     a pressure regulator at existing Meter Station 59039 on
its Loudon-Lenoir City Lateral Line 3218D-100 in Loudon County.
    The FERC staff mailed copies of the EA 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. In addition, the EA is available for public viewing on
the FERC's Web site (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, (202) 502-
8371.

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for all Airbus SAS Model A321-251N, A321-251NX, A321-252N, A321-252NX,
A321-253N, and A321-253NX airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a
stress analysis on the engine structure that indicated that the fail-
safe lug may not be able to sustain, during one inspection interval as
currently specified in an airworthiness limitations item, the loads
deriving from the engagement of the secondary load path within that
inspection interval for the aft engine mount system. This proposed AD
would require repetitive detailed inspections of the aft engine mount
and secondary load path clearance fail-safe pin and replacement of the
engine if necessary, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety
Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference. The
FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by October 27,
2022.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this NPRM, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Dan
Rodina, Aerospace Engineer, Large Aircraft Section, International
Validation Branch, FAA, 2200 South 216th Street, Des Moines, WA 98198;

commentary that the FAA receives which is not specifically designated
as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this rulemaking.

Background

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2022-0089, dated May 17, 2022 (EASA
AD 2022-0089) (also referred to as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe
condition for all Airbus SAS Model A321-251N, A321-251NX, A321-252N,
A321-252NX, A321-253N, and A321-253NX airplanes.
    This proposed AD was prompted by a weakness identified by the
manufacturer in the design of the CFM LEAP-1A aft engine mount waiting
fail-safe male lug on the engine side. During a stress analysis on the
engine structure, CFM discovered that the fail-safe lug may not be able
to sustain, during one inspection interval, as currently specified in
airworthiness limitation item (ALI) task 712232-01-1, the loads
deriving from the engagement of the secondary load path within that
inspection interval for the aft engine mount system. Consequently, the
inspection interval must be reduced accordingly in order to meet the
predicted life of the fail-safe lug. The FAA is proposing this AD to
address potential failure of the LEAP-1A aft engine mount waiting fail-
safe male lug, which could lead to engine mount rupture, possibly
resulting in engine loss during flight and loss of control of the
airplane. See the MCAI for additional background information.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2022-0089 specifies procedures for repetitive detailed
inspections (DET) for discrepancies of the aft engine mount and
secondary load path clearance fail-safe pin for each engine, and
replacement of any engine with discrepant findings on the secondary
load path clearance check.
    This material 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
the FAA's bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that
the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop
in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in EASA AD 2022-0089 described previously, except for any differences
identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been
coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the
FAA proposes to incorporate EASA AD 2022-0089 by reference in the FAA
final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with
EASA AD 2022-0089 in its entirety through that incorporation, except
for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of
this proposed AD. Using common terms that are the same as the heading
of a particular section in EASA AD 2022-0089 does not mean that
operators need comply only with that section. For example, where the AD
requirement refers to ``all required actions and compliance times,''
compliance with this AD requirement is not limited to the section
titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in EASA AD 2022-
0089. Service information required by EASA AD 2022-0089 for compliance
will be available at regulations.gov by searching for and locating
Docket No. FAA-2022-1155 after the FAA final rule is published.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD would affect 156 airplanes
of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with
this proposed AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
               Labor cost                  Parts cost         Cost per product         Cost on U.S.  operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to 4 work-hours x $85 per hour =                  $0  Up to $340...............  Up to $53,040
 $340.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA estimates that it would take 64 work-hours (at $85 per
work-hour) to replace an engine, if required based on the results of
any required actions. The FAA has received no definitive data on which
to base the estimate for the cost of a replacement engine or any
necessary additional on-condition actions that would be required by
this proposed AD. The FAA has no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need these on-condition actions.

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.
    The FAA is 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.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA 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) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would 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:

along an established and marked course upon the Colorado River in
Parker, AZ. This temporary safety zone is necessary to provide for the
safety of the crews, spectators, and participants of the race and is
also necessary to protect other vessels and users of the waterway.

Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to establish a safety zone that will be
enforced from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on October 9, 2009 through October 11,
2009. The limits of this temporary safety zone are as follows: Starting
at the Bluewater Marina in Parker, AZ, extending approximately 10 miles
to La Paz County Park. This safety zone is necessary to provide for the
safety of the crews, spectators, and participants of the Parker U.S.
Open Nationals and to protect other vessels and users of the waterway.
Persons and vessels will be prohibited from entering into, transiting
through, or anchoring within this safety zone unless authorized by the
Captain of the Port, or his designated representative.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits
under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under that Order. It is not ``significant''
under the regulatory policies and procedures of the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS). We expect the economic impact of this rule to
be so minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. The
safety zone is of a limited duration, ten hours per day for a period of
three days, and is limited to a relatively small geographic area.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this proposed rule would have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed
rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. The safety zone will affect the following
entities, some of which may be small entities: The owners and operators
of pleasure craft engaged in recreational activities and sightseeing.
This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities because: The safety zone is
limited in scope and duration, as it is in effect for ten hours per day
for a period of three days.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule so that they can better
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If the
rule would affect your small business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or
options for compliance, call or e-mail Petty Officer Shane Jackson,
USCG, Waterways Management, U.S. Coast Guard Sector San Diego at
telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>The Coast
Guard will not retaliate against small entities that question or
complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action of the Coast
Guard.

Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this proposed rule
under that Order and have determined that it does not have implications
for federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 or more in any
one year. Though this proposed rule would not result in such an
expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this
preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would not effect a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and would not
create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211,
Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a
category of actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. A preliminary
environmental analysis checklist supporting this determination is
available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. This proposed
rule involves establishing a safety zone under figure 2-1, paragraph
(34)(g), of the Instruction.
    We seek any comments or information that may lead to the discovery
of a significant environmental impact from this proposed rule.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 165

recordkeeping requirements, Security measures, Waterways.

14 CFR Part 60

[Docket No. FAA-2014-0391; Notice No. 2014-04]
RIN 2120-AK08

Flight Simulation Training Device Qualification Standards for
Extended Envelope and Adverse Weather Event Training Tasks; Extension
of Comment Period

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); extension of comment
period.

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

SUMMARY: This action extends the comment period for an NPRM that was
published on July 10, 2014. In that document, the FAA proposed new and
updated flight simulation training device (FSTD) technical evaluation
requirements that are necessary to fully implement the training
requirements recently adopted in the Qualification, Service, and Use of
Crewmembers and Aircraft Dispatchers final rule (Crewmember and
Aircraft Dispatcher Training Final Rule) published on November 12,
2013. Additionally, the FAA proposed further changes to address several
NTSB safety recommendations, aviation rulemaking committee
recommendations, and to conduct a limited alignment of the part 60 FSTD
technical evaluation requirements with that of the latest international
FSTD evaluation guidance document. One airline, an association that
represents several airlines, and an FSTD sponsor have requested that
the FAA extend the comment period to allow time to adequately analyze
the NPRM and prepare comments.

DATES: The comment period for the NPRM published on July 10, 2014 (79
FR 39461), which was scheduled to close on October 8, 2014, is hereby
extended until January 6, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the ``Additional Information'' section
for information on how to comment on this proposal and how the FAA will
handle comments received. The ``Additional Information'' section also
contains related information about the docket, privacy, and the
handling of proprietary or confidential business information. In

rulemaking documents.

Background

    On July 10, 2014, the FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM), entitled ``Flight Simulation Training Device Qualification
Standards for Extended Envelope and Adverse Weather Event Training
Tasks'' (79 FR 39461). Comments to that document were to be received on
or before October 8, 2014.
    By letter dated July 15, 2014, posted to the electronic docket for
this NPRM, American Airlines requested that the FAA extend the comment
period for the NPRM from 90 days to 180 days. The commenter stated that
additional time is necessary to do a ``complete and proper analysis of
this complex proposed rule.''
    By letter dated August 13, 2014, posted to the electronic docket
for this NPRM Airlines for America (A4A), an industry group which
represents multiple airlines that are directly affected by this
proposal, requested that the FAA extend the comment period an
additional 90 days. The commenter stated that additional time is
necessary to provide meaningful comments on this proposed rule.
    By letter dated August 21, 2014 posted to the electronic docket for
this NPRM FlightSafety International, an FSTD sponsor and flight
training provider also requested that the FAA extend the comment period
by 90 days in order to thoroughly review the proposal, prepare its
response and submit comments.
    The FAA has reviewed the requests for extension and has
additionally spoken to members of the Simulator Technical Issues
Group\1\ (STIG) about

the reasons why an extension is needed. Several members of the STIG
advised that the proposal is very lengthy and difficult to directly
compare with the existing part 60 rule. The FAA emphasizes that the
primary reason for its length is due to the proposal to align a portion
of the part 60 standards with current international FSTD evaluation
guidelines published in the International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO) document 9625 Edition 3, Manual of Criteria for the
Qualification of Flight Simulation Training Devices (ICAO 9625, Edition
3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Simulator Technical Issues Group (STIG) is an industry
working group organized by Airlines for America (A4A) and is
attended by multiple airlines, simulator manufacturers, simulator
data providers, airframe manufacturers, and simulator training
providers. The FAA met with the STIG on August 20, 2014 to address
questions on the NPRM. A summary of FAA's participation in that
meeting has been posted to the electronic docket for this NPRM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA is proposing to align a portion of the part 60 standards
with the ICAO 9625 FSTD evaluation guidance document to be responsive
to industry's historical requests for the FAA to align with the most
current international standards. Part of the benefits of international
alignment is to reduce the number of differences in regulatory
requirements between various National Aviation Authorities by using a
common source document. In addition to simply aligning with the basic
requirements of the ICAO 9625 document, the FAA found that by aligning
with the document's format, numbering system, and language used in many
of the tables, differences between the part 60 standards and ICAO 9625
could potentially be minimized even further going forward. To
accomplish this, many of the tables in the Qualification Performance
Standards (QPS) appendices of the proposal were completely rewritten as
compared to the current part 60 QPS appendices.
    The FAA concurs with the commenters desire to provide the FAA with
meaningful comments and hereby grants the additional 90 days to the
comment period as requested. To further assist the commenters in
reviewing this proposal, the FAA has prepared and submitted to the
docket a summary matrix that better explains where the changes to the
tables in the QPS appendices were made relative to the current part 60
rule (Document  FAA-2014-0391-0008 in the electronic docket
for this NPRM). The FAA also arranged to place in the docket a read-
only non-printable PDF of a portion of ICAO 9625 to be used for
reference only. The FAA notes that this document will be removed from
the docket at the end of the comment period. With this additional
information, the FAA finds that providing an additional 90 days is
sufficient for these commenters to analyze the NPRM and provide
meaningful comment.
    Absent unusual circumstances, the FAA does not anticipate any
further extension of the comment period for this rulemaking.

Extension of Comment Period

    In accordance with Sec.  11.47(c) of title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations, the FAA has reviewed the comments requesting an extension
of the comment period for Notice No. 2014-04 and has determined that
extension of the comment period is consistent with the public interest,
and that good cause exists for taking this action.
    Accordingly, the comment period for Notice No. 2014-04 is extended
until January 6, 2015.

Additional Information

A. Comments Invited

    The FAA invites interested persons to participate in this
rulemaking by submitting written comments, data, or views. The agency
also invites comments relating to the economic, environmental, energy,
or federalism impacts that might result from adopting the proposals in
this document. The most helpful comments reference a specific portion
of the proposal, explain the reason for any recommended change, and
include supporting data. To ensure the docket does not contain
duplicate comments, commenters should send only one copy of written
comments, or if comments are filed electronically, commenters should
submit only one time.
    The FAA will file in the docket all comments it receives, as well
as a report summarizing each substantive public contact with FAA
personnel concerning this proposed rulemaking. Before acting on this
proposal, the FAA will consider all comments it receives on or before
the closing date for comments. The FAA will consider comments filed
after the comment period has closed if it is possible to do so without
incurring expense or delay. The agency may change this proposal in
light of the comments it receives.
    Proprietary or Confidential Business Information: Do not file
proprietary or confidential business information in the docket. Such
information must be sent or delivered directly to the person identified
in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this document, and
marked as proprietary or confidential. If submitting information on a
disk or CD ROM, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM, and identify
electronically within the disk or CD ROM the specific information that
is proprietary or confidential.
    Under 14 CFR 11.35(b), if the FAA is aware of proprietary
information filed with a comment, the agency does not place it in the
docket. It is held in a separate file to which the public does not have
access, and the FAA places a note in the docket that it has received
it. If the FAA receives a request to examine or copy this information,
it treats it as any other request under the Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552). The FAA processes such a request under Department of
Transportation procedures found in 49 CFR part 7.

MEMORANDUM TO THE DOCKET: 	Regarding the Application of the Work Allocation Methodology to the Dakota Spirit Ag Energy Proposed Ethanol Plant

DATE: 					August 31, 2012

Dakota Spirit AgEnergy ("Dakota") petitioned the Agency on October 15, 2011 to approve their generation of renewable fuel RINs (D-code 6), pursuant to 40 CFR § 80.1416. Through the petition process described under 40 CFR § 80.1416, Dakota submitted data to EPA to perform a lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions analysis of their production of ethanol. EPA has issued a technical notice in response to the petition submitted by Dakota. This memo supplements the notice and provides the steps and equations used in the lifecycle analysis.

Based on the information submitted by Dakota, EPA assumed that the associated upstream emissions, fuel transport, and co-product credits are the same as those modeled for the RFS2 final rule for corn ethanol production. Dakota will import steam from the adjacent Spiritwood Station power plant for its fuel production process. As a result, Dakota's emission analysis differs only in its fuel production emissions methodology.

Fuel Production Emissions
Fuel production emissions can be calculated (in terms of grams CO2e per gallon of ethanol produced) from the plant energy use and the GHG emission factor associated with energy use as follows:

Emissions (g CO2egal ethanol) = Energy Use btugal ethanolxGHG Emission Factor g CO2ebtu

Dakota's fuel production emissions consist of four major components:

   1) Process steam from Spiritwood power plant main boiler operating in CHP mode
   2) Process steam from Spiritwood power plant backup boiler operating in steam mode
   3) Electricity purchased from grid
   4) Natural gas to operate emission controls

Process steam is the largest component, consisting of close to 90% of Dakota's plant energy use, while electricity accounts for most of the remainder, and emission controls use an almost negligible amount of energy.  The emissions associated with purchased electricity use and onsite emission controls were derived from the energy use data from Dakota's petition and the GHG emission factors promulgated as part of the RFS2 final rule. The GHG emissions associated with process steam are described in the next section.

Process Steam Emissions
In the proposed Dakota plant process, thermal energy (steam in this case) for the process will be supplied from the Spiritwood Station power plant, located adjacent to Dakota. The Spiritwood plant maintains two boilers capable of providing steam to Dakota: a main boiler that operates on coal and a backup boiler that operates on natural gas. When the main boiler at Spiritwood is out of service (either due to planned or unplanned outages), the backup boiler at Spiritwood will provide steam to Dakota. Since the backup boiler operates in steam-only mode, its emissions will be comparable to an onsite boiler. Therefore, the backup boiler emissions were calculated using the backup boiler energy use provided in the Dakota petition and the natural gas GHG emission factor from the RFS2 final rule.

The main boiler will operate in a CHP configuration to provide electricity for the grid and steam for Dakota's production process. In this configuration, a portion of the steam driving the steam turbine generator will be extracted to meet Dakota's thermal energy needs.  In CHP mode, for each unit of fuel consumed in the boiler, there is a net reduction in the amount of electricity generated by the power plant.  Although the amount of electricity generated is reduced, the total fuel consumed and the resulting GHG emissions of the power plant remain unchanged.

Work Potential Allocation Method
To determine the emissions associated with the extracted steam, the total emissions of the Spiritwood power plant need to be allocated to the power plant's power production and to the steam extracted for use at the biorefinery.  EPA's proposed allocation approach for this CHP configuration is the "work potential" method. The process for determining the steam GHG emission factor using the work potential allocation approach is summarized by the following steps:

1. Calculate the GHG emission factor for the Spiritwood power plant without any steam extracted;
2. Determine the amount of electricity that is not generated due to the extraction of steam for the Dakota plant; and
3. Apply the Spiritwood GHG emission factor from Step One to the amount of electricity not generated due to steam extraction and calculate the emission factor associated with the extracted steam.

Step One  -  Calculate the GHG emission factor for the Spiritwood power plant without any steam extracted

The power-only emission factor for the power plant was calculated based on the steam flow and energy value data provided in Dakota's petition. The CO2 emission factor was based on the carbon content of the coal given by Dakota, and the combustion CH4, combustion N2O, and upstream coal emission factors were the same as those used in the 2010 RFS rule. For consistency, all values were represented on a lower heating value (LHV) basis.

Based on the Dakota petition, the coal combusted in the boiler has a carbon content of 44%, a higher heating value (HHV) of 7450 Btu/lb, and a LHV of 6844 Btu/lb.  The Spiritwood power plant in power-only mode has an efficiency for electricity production of 28.7% on a HHV basis, which converts to an efficiency of 31.3% on a LHV basis.  Each emission factor was calculated taking the following steps:

CO2 emission factor from coal combustion (g CO2/Btu)

      0.44 lb Clb coalx44 lb CO212 lb Cxlb coal6844 Btux453.6 g CO2lb CO2=0.106927 g CO2/Btu

CH4 emission factor from coal combustion (from 2010 RFS2 rule) (g CO2/Btu)

      4.0g CH4MMBtux21 g CO2eg CH4x1 MMBtu1 x106 Btu=0.000084 g CO2e/Btu

N2O emission factor from coal combustion (from 2010 RFS2 rule) (g CO2/Btu)

      1.0g CH4MMBtux310 g CO2eg CH4x1 MMBtu1 x106 Btu=0.000310 g CO2e/Btu

Upstream GHG emission factor (from 2010 RFS2 rule) =0.004171 gCO2e/Btu

The GHG fuel emission factor was first determined on an input basis as follows:

GHG Emission Factor on input basis (g CO2e/Btu input)

      =GHG emissions from coal combustion+GHG upstream emissions
            =0.106927+0.000084+0.000310+0.004171=0.1115  g CO2eBtu input

The GHG fuel emission factor on output basis can be determined from the factor developed on an input basis by using the efficiency of electricity production at the Spiritwood plant.

GHG Emission Factor on output basis (g CO2e/MWh output)

      =0.1115  g CO2eBtu inputx3412 BtukWhx1000kWhMWh/31.3%
      =1,215,961 g CO2e/MWh

Step Two  -  Determine the amount of electricity that is not generated due to the extraction of steam for the Dakota plant.

The amount of electricity not generated due to steam extraction is determined with the mass flow rate of steam extracted from the process prior to the steam entering the low-pressure steam turbine (LPST) and the enthalpy drop over the LPST. The mass flow rates and enthalpy drop were based on data provided in the Dakota petition. The amount of electricity not generated was determined to be 9.987 MW:

Displaced Power (MW)

      =Enthalpy of extracted steam-LPST exit enthalpyxSteam flowratexGenerator efficiencyBtukWhConversion Factor

      =1230.3 -1068.0 Btu/lbx211,000lbhrx99.5%3412 BtukWhx1 MW1000 kW

      =9.987 MW

Step Three  -  Apply the Spiritwood GHG emission factor from Step 1 to the amount of electricity not generated due to steam extraction and calculate the emission factor associated with the extracted steam.

The GHG emission factor of the emissions associated with the extracted steam was then calculated with the Spiritwood "No CHP" emission factor calculated in Step One above and the amount of electricity not generated due to steam extraction calculated in Step Two above. We determined the emission factor for the imported process steam to be 53,175 g CO2e/mmbtu steam:

Steam emission factor (g CO2e/mmbtu steam)

      =GHG Emission Factor xDisplaced Power Steam flowrate *Enthalpy of extracted steam-Condensate return enthalpy
