procedure.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by modifying Class E surface airspace and
Class E Airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at
Wokal Field/Glasgow International Airport, Glasgow, MT. Controlled
airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft using RNAV (GPS) standard
instrument approach procedures at the airport, and would enhance the
safety and management of aircraft operations. This action would also
update the airport name from Glasgow International Airport to Wokal
Field/Glasgow International Airport.
    Class E Airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 and
6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010, and
effective September 15, 2010, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E Airspace designation listed in this document will
be published subsequently in this Order.
    The FAA has determined this proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this proposed regulation; (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); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a
regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since
this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures
and air navigation, it is certified this proposed rule, when
promulgated, would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106, describes
the authority for the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it modifies controlled airspace at Wokal Field/Glasgow International
Airport, Glasgow, MT.

Airworthiness Directives; Saab AB, Saab Aerosystems Model 340A
(SAAB/SF340A) and SAAB 340B Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above that would supersede an existing AD. This
proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information
(MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to
identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The
MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    In 2003, a number of reports had been received concerning broken
wires and corroded connectors in the SAAB 340 main landing gear
(MLG) emergency release system. The investigation results showed
that these were due to improper repairs and installations, not
conforming to the approved type design.
    This condition, if not corrected, could inhibit the functioning
of the separation bolt, preventing proper release of the MLG during
an emergency situation, possibly resulting in damage to aeroplane
during landing and injury to the occupants.
* * * * *
    The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address
the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by November 25,
2011.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    On May 28, 2004, we issued AD 2004-12-03, Amendment 39-13662 (69 FR
35235, June 24, 2004). That AD required actions intended to address an
unsafe condition on the products listed above.
    Since we issued AD 2004-12-03, Amendment 39-13662 (69 FR 35235,
June 24, 2004), we have received reports that the previous modification
does not fully meet the expected results; therefore, an improved
separation bolt harness having part number (P/N) 7292520-691 has been
designed to replace the current separation bolt harness having P/N
7292520-678. The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the
Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has
issued EASA Airworthiness Directive 2011-0003, dated January 17, 2011
(referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for the specified products. The MCAI states:

    In 2003, a number of reports had been received concerning broken
wires and corroded connectors in the SAAB 340 main landing gear
(MLG) emergency release system. The investigation results showed
that these were due to improper repairs and installations, not
conforming to the approved type design.
    This condition, if not corrected, could inhibit the functioning
of the separation bolt, preventing proper release of the MLG during
an emergency situation, possibly resulting in damage to aeroplane
during landing and injury to the occupants.
    To address that unsafe condition, Swedish AD (SAD) 1-186 was
issued to require an inspection and, depending on findings,
corrective action, in accordance with SAAB Service Bulletin (SB)
340-32-127.
    Subsequently, Saab introduced a modification to ensure correct
functioning of the MLG emergency release system. Accomplishment of
that modification (SAAB SB 340-32-128) was made mandatory by SAD 1-
189 [which corresponds to FAA AD 2004-12-03 (69 FR 35235, June 24,
2004)].
    Since that [SAD] AD was issued, service experience has shown
that this modification does not fully meet the expected results.
    Prompted by these findings, SAAB has developed an improved
separation bolt harness with a new routing.
    For the reasons described above, this AD requires replacement of
the current

separation bolt harness Part Number (P/N) 7292520-678 with the
improved unit, P/N 7292520-691.

    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Saab has issued Service Bulletin 340-32-139, Revision 01, dated
November 1, 2010. The actions described in this service information are
intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    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 pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 111 products 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.

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); and
    3. 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP07-031-000]

Dominion Transmission, Inc. Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed USA Storage Project and
Request for Comments on Environmental Issues

January 17, 2007.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of the USA Storage Project involving
construction and operation of natural gas facilities by Dominion
Transmission, Inc. (DTI) in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, Virginia
and West Virginia.\1\ DTI proposes to drill 14 new storage wells and
install approximately a total of 1.57 miles of associated six-inch-
diameter pipeline that would connect the new wells to the existing
piping network within DTI's Pennsylvania natural gas storage complexes.
In addition, DTI plans to construct a new compressor station at its
West Virginia storage complex and expand three of its existing
compressor stations located in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
This EA will be used by the Commission in its decision-making process
to determine whether the project is in the public convenience and
necessity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ DTI's application was filed with the Commission under
section 7 of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's
regulations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This notice announces the opening of the public comment period that
will be used to gather environmental input from the public and
interested agencies on the project. Comments are requested by February
19, 2007.
    With this notice, the FERC staff is asking other federal, state,
local and tribal agencies with jurisdiction and/or special expertise
with respect to environmental issues to cooperate with us in the
preparation of the EA. These agencies may choose to participate once
they have evaluated DTI's proposal relative to their responsibilities.
Agencies that would like to request cooperating status should follow
the instructions for filing comments described in Appendix 1.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, you may be contacted
by a pipeline company representative about the acquisition of an
easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities.
The pipeline company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable
agreement. However, if the project is approved by the Commission, that
approval conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if
easement negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the pipeline
company could initiate condemnation proceedings in accordance with
state law.
    A brochure prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural
Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' is available for
viewing on the FERC Web site at http://www.ferc.gov. This fact sheet

addresses a number of typically asked questions, including the use of
eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings.

Summary of the Proposed Project

    DTI seeks authority to construct and operate the following natural
gas facilities:
    Potter and Clinton Counties, PA:
     Drill six new storage wells and install a total of
approximately 0.45 mile of new six-inch-diameter pipeline to connect
the new wells to the existing storage piping network within DTI's
Greenlick Storage Complex;
    Tioga County, PA:
     Drill eight new storage wells and install a total of about
1.52 miles of new six-inch-diameter pipeline to connect the new wells
to the existing storage piping network within DTI's Sabinsville Storage
Complex;
     Expand the existing Sabinsville Compressor Station by
adding a 2,370 horsepower (HP) natural gas-fired reciprocating unit, a
5,800 HP gas turbine and a desiccant dehydration capacity of 100 mmcfd;
    Gilmer County, WV:
     Construct a new compressor station at the Racket-Newberne
Storage Complex that would include a 1,150 HP natural gas-fired
reciprocating unit and would have a glycol dehydration capacity of 50
million cubic feet per day (mmcfd);
    Fauquier County, VA:
     Expand the existing Quantico Compressor Station by adding
a 7,800 HP gas turbine;
    Steuben County, NY:
     Expand the existing Woodhull Compressor Station by adding
two additional 1,800 HP reciprocating units; and
    Frederick and Washington Counties, MD and Franklin County, PA:
     Hydrostatically re-test three sections of DTI's existing
30-inch-diameter PL-1 pipeline which would allow the system to operate
at a 1,250 pounds per square inch gauge (psig) of Maximum Allowable
Operating Pressure (MAOP). The total pipeline length that would be
hydrostatically re-tested is approximately 4.46 miles.

    The expansions of and additions to these existing natural gas
facilities would allow DTI to meet its precedent agreements to provide
184,994 Dekatherms per day (Dt/d) of new firm transportation capacity
on its existing PL-1 pipeline system for delivery to two existing
delivery points. The new facilities would allow an additional 4.29
billion cubic feet (bcf) of natural gas to be withdrawn from storage,
which would be used to fulfill DTI's increasing requests for service.
    The general locations of the project facilities are shown in
Appendix 2.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The appendices referenced in this notice are not being
printed in the Federal Register. Copies of all appendices, other
than Appendix 2 (map), are available on the Commission's Web site at
the ``eLibrary'' link or from the Commission's Public Reference
Room, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, or call (202)
502-8371. For instructions on connecting to eLibrary refer to the
last page of this notice. Copies of the appendices were sent to all
those receiving this notice in the mail.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Land Requirements

    Construction and expansion of the proposed pipeline and aboveground
facilities would affect approximately 132.61 acres of land and includes
access roads, pipe/contractor yards, and extra work areas. Following
construction, about 41.65 acres would be permanently maintained. The
remaining 90.96 acres land would be restored and allowed to revert to
its former use.

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could
result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us
to discover and address concerns the public may have about proposals.
This process is referred to as ``scoping''. The main goal of the
scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important
environmental issues. By this Notice of Intent, the Commission staff
requests public comments on the scope of the issues to address in the
EA. All comments received are considered during the preparation of the
EA. State and local government representatives are encouraged to notify
their constituents of this proposed action and encourage them to
comment on their areas of concern.
    Our \3\ independent analysis of the issues will be in the EA.
Depending on the comments received during the scoping process, the EA
may be published and mailed to federal, state and local agencies,
public interest groups, interested individuals, affected landowners,
newspapers, libraries and the Commission's official service list for
this proceeding. A comment period will be allotted for review if the EA
is published. We will consider all comments on the EA before we make
our recommendations to the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ ``We'', ``us'', and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the Office of Energy Projects (OEP).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently Identified Environmental Issues

    In the EA, we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of
the construction and operation of the proposed project. We will also
evaluate reasonable alternatives to the proposed project or portions of
the project.
    We have already identified the following issues that we think
deserve attention based on a preliminary review of the proposed
facilities and the environmental information provided by DTI:
     Two private water supply wells within 150 feet of the
construction workspace;
     Six waterbody crossings, one of which is a sensitive
surface waterbody;
     Seven wetland crossings;
     Potential impacts to a historic farmstead; and
     Crossing of Susquehannock State Forest, a designated area
used for conservation and recreation.
    The above preliminary list of issues may be changed based on your
comments and our analysis.

Public Participation

    You can make a difference by providing us with your specific
comments or concerns about the project. By becoming a commentor, your
concerns will be addressed in the EA and considered by the Commission.
You should focus on the potential environmental effects of the
proposal, alternatives to the proposal (including alternative locations
and routes), and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impact. The
more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. Please
