ICR. An OMB Notice of Action on each ICR will become available via a
hyperlink in the OMB Control Number: 1625-0015.

Previous Request for Comments

    This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The
Coast Guard published the 60-day notice (87 FR 3834, January 25, 2022)
required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That notice elicited no comments.
Accordingly, no changes have been made to the Collection.

Information Collection Request

    Title: Bridge Permit Application Guide.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0015.
    Summary: The collection of information is a request for a bridge
permit submitted as an application for approval by the Coast Guard of
any proposed bridge project. An applicant must submit to the Coast
Guard a letter of application along with letter-size drawings (plans)
and maps showing the proposed project and its location.

    Need: 33 U.S.C. 401, 491, and 525 authorize the Coast Guard to
approve plans and locations for all bridges and causeways that go over
navigable waters of the United States.
    Forms: None.
    Respondents: Public and private owners of bridges over navigable
waters of the United States.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden for the period FY18-FY20
is 10,306 hours, which averages to 3,435 hours per year. The previous
submission for this request (FY15-FY17) included permit pre-application
coordination between the Bridge Program and the applicant that is
required as an application is prepared for submission. Recognition of
this work more accurately captured the work of the Bridge Program and
significantly increased the total burden hours. Unfortunately the Coast
Guard was unable to continue to support the antiquated database that
was used to capture this data and a new database solution is not
expected to be fully operational until 2022, therefore reliable data
for the full data period is unavailable. This submission does not
include pre-application work and will therefore show a drastic decrease
in burden hours from 17,607 to 3,435 due to this omission.
    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. et seq.,
chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: April 5, 2022.
Kathleen Claffie,
Chief, Office of Privacy Management, U.S. Coast Guard.

[Docket Number USCG-2020-0035]
RIN 1625-AA08

Special Local Regulation; East Passage, Narragansett Bay, RI

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing to amend an existing special
local regulation for certain waters of the East Passage, Narragansett
Bay, RI. This action is necessary to provide for the safety of life on
these navigable waters near East Passage, Narragansett Bay, RI, during
a sail boat race. This proposed rulemaking would prohibit persons and
vessels from entering the special local regulation unless authorized by
the Captain of the Port Sector Southeastern New England or a designated
representative. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before April 8, 2020.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2020-0035 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

COTP Captain of the Port Sector Southeastern New England
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    On October 17, 2019, the Newport to Bermuda Race notified the Coast
Guard that they would be conducting a sail boat race from 11 a.m.
through 5 p.m.

on June 19, 2020, with the potential make up dates being June 20, 2020
and June 21, 2020. The sail boat race will be launched from East
Passage in Narragansett Bay south of Rose Island. The Captain of the
Port Sector Southeastern New England (COTP) has determined that
potential hazards associated with the sail boat race would be a safety
concern for anyone attempting to transit within East Passage.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels
and the navigable waters within East Passage before, during, and after
the scheduled event. The Coast Guard proposes this rulemaking under
authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231) and 46 U.S.C.
70041.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The COTP proposes to amend a special local regulation from 11 a.m.
through 5 p.m. on June 19, 2020, with makeup dates being June 20, 2020,
or June 21, 2020. The regulation found in 33 CFR 100.119 includes a
regulated area for all waters of Narragansett Bay, Newport, RI, within
the following points (NAD 83):

------------------------------------------------------------------------
              Latitude                            Longitude
------------------------------------------------------------------------
41[deg]27'51'' N                     071[deg]22'14'' W
41[deg]27'24'' N                     071[deg]21'57'' W
41[deg]27'09'' N                     071[deg]22'39'' W
41[deg]27'36'' N                     072[deg]22'55'' W
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the event that weather conditions prohibit a safe race start
within the approach to Newport Harbor, the race will begin offshore and
the following regulated area applies (NAD 83):

------------------------------------------------------------------------
              Latitude                            Longitude
------------------------------------------------------------------------
41[deg]26'04'' N                     071[deg]22'16'' W
41[deg]25'36'' N                     071[deg]21'58'' W
41[deg]25'45'' N                     071[deg]22'40'' W
41[deg]25'49'' N                     071[deg]22'56'' W
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed amendment would be to expand the size of the first
regulated area and to adjust the latitude and longitude of the second
regulated area to encompass a new potential starting line for the race
to accommodate for ideal weather parameters. The special local
regulation would cover all navigable waters from an area just south of
Rose Island expanding just past Castle Hill, RI, and also an area near
Brenton Point. The proposed location of the special local regulation is
as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
              Latitude                            Longitude
------------------------------------------------------------------------
41[deg]29'13'' N                     071[deg]20'07'' W
41[deg]29'41'' N                     071[deg]20'87'' W
41[deg]27'27'' N                     071[deg]22'00'' W
41[deg]27'45'' N                     072[deg]22'83'' W
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the event that weather conditions prohibit a safe race start
within the approach to Newport Harbor, the race will begin offshore and
the following regulated area applies (NAD 83):

------------------------------------------------------------------------
              Latitude                            Longitude
------------------------------------------------------------------------
41[deg]26'06'' N                     071[deg]22'27'' W
41[deg]25'60'' N                     071[deg]21'97'' W
41[deg]25'36'' N                     071[deg]22'65'' W
41[deg]25'82'' N                     071[deg]22'93'' W
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The starting line will take place within one of the proposed
regulated areas and will be decided prior to the race pending current
weather conditions. The starting line box will be the restricted part
of the waterway within the regulated area and that exact location will
be broadcasted prior to the race start. The duration of the special
local regulation is intended to ensure the safety of vessels and these
navigable waters before, during, and after the scheduled sail boat
race. No vessel or person is permitted to enter the special local
regulation without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated
representative. They may be contacted on VHF-FM Channel 16 or by phone
at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Persons and vessels permitted to enter this special
local regulation must transit at their slowest safe speed and comply
with all lawful directions issued by the COTP or a designated
representative. The COTP or a designated representative will inform the
public through broadcast notices to mariners of the enforcement period
for the special local regulation as well as any changes in the planned
schedule. The regulatory text we are proposing appears at the end of
this document.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders and
we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This NPRM has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration and time-of-day of the special local regulation. We
expect the adverse economic impact to this area to be minimal. Although
this regulation may have adverse impact on the impact, the potential
impact will be minimized for the following reasons: The special local
regulation will be in effect for a maximum of 6 hours during the day of
the event; vessels will only be restricted from the area in the East
Passage of the Narragansett Bay during those limited periods when the
races are actually on going; there is an alternate route, the West
Passage of Narragansett Bay, that does not add substantial transit
time, is already routinely used by mariners, and will not be affected
by this special local regulation. Moreover, the Coast Guard would issue
a Broadcast Notice to Mariners (BNMs) via VHF-FM marine channel 16
about the area, and the rule would allow vessels to seek permission to
enter the area.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. 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.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
special local regulation may be small entities, for the reasons stated
in section IV.A above, this proposed rule would not have a significant
economic impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    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.
    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.
If the rule would affect your small business, organization, or
governmental jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its
provisions or options for compliance, please contact the person listed
in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. 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.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, 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. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.

E. 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 (adjusted for
inflation) 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.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing
instructions, and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series),
which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made
a preliminary determination that this action is one of a category of
actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. This proposed rule involves a special
local regulation lasting approximately 6 hours that would prohibit
entry within the regulated area. Such actions are categorically
excluded from further review under paragraph L 61 of Appendix A, Table
1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. We seek any
comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this proposed rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places, or vessels.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking,
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which
each comment applies, and provide a reason for each suggestion or
recommendation.
    We encourage you to submit comments through the Federal eRulemaking
Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. If your material cannot be
submitted using http://www.regulations.gov, contact the person in the
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this document for alternate
instructions.
    We accept anonymous comments. All comments received will be posted
without change to http://www.regulations.gov and will include any
personal information you have provided. For more about privacy and
submissions in response to this document, see DHS's Correspondence
System of Records notice (84 FR 48645, September 26, 2018).
    Documents mentioned in this NPRM as being available in the docket,
and all public comments, will be in our online docket at http://www.regulations.gov and can be viewed by following that website's
instructions. Additionally, if you go to the online docket and sign up
for email alerts, you will be notified when comments are posted or a
final rule is published.

Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    Nasdaq is filing this proposal to clarify the migration timeline
and billing related to the Exchange's enhanced connectivity,
surveillance and risk management services. In April 2021, Nasdaq
launched three re-platformed products: (i) WorkX, (ii) Real-Time Stats
and (iii) Post-Trade Risk Management.\3\ These changes were filed by
Nasdaq on April 20, 2021 and published in the Federal Register on May
7, 2021.\4\ The Exchange noted in the Proposal that as it rolls out the
enhanced products, the fees for the re-platformed products would be the
same as the fees for the corresponding legacy products. Additionally,
the Exchange noted that after the first month of service on each of the
re-platformed products, a customer will be expected to fully migrate to
the enhanced product and will be charged for any fees incurred for
using the new products thereafter. On January 31, 2022, the Exchange
increased the fees for the enhanced products and continued to offer the
waiver for the first month of service.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The corresponding non-re-platformed products are (1) ACT
Workstation; (2) Nasdaq InterACT; and (3) Nasdaq Risk Management,
respectively (collectively, ``legacy products'').
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 91744 (May 3, 2021),
86 FR 24685 (May 7, 2021) (NASDAQ-2021-025) (``Proposal'').
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 91744 (Jan. 31,
2022), 87 FR 9096 (Feb. 17, 2022) (NASDAQ-2022-012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Although the Exchange expected to fully migrate customers within
one month from initiating migration, the process has taken longer due
to the Exchange having to make additional system updates that were
needed to support the enhanced products. As a result, the Exchange
continues to assist its customers in migrating to the enhanced
products. To date, customers continue to utilize the legacy products
and have not fully migrated over to the enhanced products.\6\ To date,
the Exchange has only charged customers for their use of the legacy
products even if the customer has access to both the legacy and
enhanced products. Due to the Exchange's delay in facilitating the full
migration, customers will not be charged for utilizing the enhanced
products until the full migration process is completed. The Exchange is
now at a point where it can facilitate customer migration to the
enhanced products.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Most customers have begun migrating to Nasdaq WorkX and
Real-Time Stats, and the Exchange intends to start migrating
customers to Post-Trade Risk Management in the upcoming weeks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Customers will be expected to complete the migration process for
all enhanced products by November 30, 2023. For customers using both
the legacy and re-platformed products, fees for the re-platformed
product will be waived for December 2023. The Exchange will announce
the migration deadline of November 30, 2023 in an Equity Trader Alert
at least 30 days in advance of the deadline. Any customer who continue
to utilize the legacy products after the migration deadline (i.e.,
December 1, 2023 or thereafter) will be charged for both the legacy and
enhanced products until the Exchange retires the legacy products. If a
customer

elects to solely use a legacy product after November 30, the customer
may use the product until the Exchange retires the product. If a
customer elects to switch to the re-platformed product after November
30, the customer will have one month to fully migrate to the enhanced
product.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\7\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\8\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system, and, in general to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also believes that it is just and equitable, and in
the interests of the public and investors, for the Exchange to provide
a deadline of November 30, 2023 for customers to migrate to Nasdaq
WorkX, Real-Time Stats and Post-Trade Risk Management, and to clarify
customer billing during the migration period. The Exchange is not
proposing with this filing any changes to the re-platformed product
fees or legacy product fees. The Exchange believes that requiring
customers to migrate by November 30, 2023, is reasonable because
customers have had the opportunity to engage in months of testing prior
to migration and the Exchange's system is fully prepared to accommodate
full migration of all customers.
    The Exchange also believes that it is reasonable to provide one-
month migration period to customers who choose to migrate after the
November 30. One month was the duration that the Exchange initially
intended for migration, and system updates have eliminated any future
migration delays. The Exchange believes that the public and investors
will benefit from providing a clear deadline for migrating to the re-
platformed products and will also benefit from clarifying billing
during the transition period, which will help limit any potential
confusion in the future.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. As explained above, the purpose
of this proposal is to provide a deadline for customers to fully
migrate to the re-platformed products and to clarify customer billing
during the migration period. The Exchange does not expect the migration
deadline to place any burden on competition. Customers will have the
option of requesting to continue to utilize the legacy products after
the migration deadline and will be charged for both the legacy and
enhanced products until the Exchange retires the legacy products. The
migration deadline and billing during the transition period will impact
all market participants equally.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \9\ and
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \11\ of the Act
normally does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of
filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \12\ permits the Commission to
designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay contained in Rule
19b-4(f)(6)(iii).\13\ The Commission believes that waiver of the 30-day
operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the
public interest as the proposal raises no new or novel issues.
Accordingly, the Commission hereby waives the 30-day operative delay
and designates the proposal operative upon filing.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \14\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule change's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP08-462-000]

Algonquin Gas Transmission, L.L.C.; Notice of Intent To Prepare
an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Kleen Energy Lateral
Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues

September 23, 2008.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the potential environmental impacts of the Kleen Energy Lateral
Project involving the construction of approximately 1.13 miles of 20-
inch-diameter natural gas transmission pipeline by Algonquin Gas
Transmission, L.L.C. (AGT) in Middletown, Connecticut. The EA will be
used by the Commission in its decision-making process to determine
whether the project is in the public convenience and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies on the project. Your input will help determine which issues
need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note that the scoping period
will close on October 23, 2008. Details on how to submit comments are
provided in the ``Public Participation'' section of this notice.
    This notice is being sent to affected landowners; federal, state,
and local government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
Native American tribes; other interested parties; and local libraries
and newspapers. State and local government representatives are asked to
notify their constituents of this proposed project and to encourage
them to comment on their areas of concern.
    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.
AGT 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, AGT could initiate
condemnation proceedings in accordance with state law.
    A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural
Gas Facility on My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' addresses a number
of typically asked questions, including the use of eminent domain and
how to participate in the Commission's proceedings. It is available for
viewing on the FERC Internet Web site (http://www.ferc.gov).

Summary of the Proposed Project

    AGT proposes to construct its 1.13-mile-long, 20-inch-diameter
Kleen Energy Lateral in the area of Middlesex County, Connecticut. AGT
would also construct one metering station and related ancillary
facilities. The project would provide up to 131,000 dekatherms per day
of firm natural gas transportation service to the Kleen Energy Power
Plant, a proposed 620-megawatt natural gas-fired power plant to be
constructed by Kleen Energy in the City of Middletown, Connecticut. The
lateral pipeline would begin at an interconnect with AGT's existing W-
System pipeline at the NRG Power Plant Facility and terminate at the
proposed meter station in the vicinity of the proposed power plant.
    Construction and operation of the proposed project would affect
about 18.6 acres, including the pipeline (4.3 acres), meter station
(0.9 acre), temporary workspaces (11.6 acres), and access roads (1.8
acres). The proposed project is primarily located within an existing
paved roadway. The meter station would be located immediately adjacent
to the proposed Kleen Energy Power Plant. AGT would require one new
access road to access the proposed meter station. Another existing road
(located at the Middletown Power Plant) would be used for site access
during construction and operation.
    The general location of the proposed facilities is shown in
appendix 1.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The appendices referenced in this notice are not being
printed in the Federal Register. Copies of all appendices 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<PHONE_NUMBER>. For instructions on
connecting to eLibrary, refer to the ``Additional Information''
section of this notice. Copies of the appendices were sent to all
those receiving this notice in the mail. Requests for detailed maps
of the proposed facilities should be made directly to AGT.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The EA Process

    We \2\ are preparing this EA to comply with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) which requires the Commission to take
into account the environmental impact that could result if it
authorizes AGT's proposal. By this notice, we are also asking federal,
state, and local agencies with jurisdiction and/or special expertise
with respect to environmental issues to formally cooperate with us in
the preparation of the EA. Agencies that would like to request
cooperating status should follow the instructions for filing comments
provided below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ ``We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the FERC's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NEPA also requires the FERC 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, we are requesting public comments on the scope of the
issues to address in the EA. All comments received will be considered
during the preparation of the EA.
    The EA will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of the
construction and operation of the proposed project under these general
headings:
     Geology and soils
     Land use and visual quality
     Cultural resources
     Vegetation and wildlife (including threatened and
endangered species)
     Air quality and noise
     Reliability and safety
    We will also evaluate possible alternatives to the proposed project
or portions of the project, where necessary, and make recommendations
on how to lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    Our independent analysis of the issues will be presented 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,
local libraries and newspapers, 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.
    To ensure your comments are received and considered, please
carefully follow the instructions in the ``Public Participation''
section below.

Public Participation

    You can make a difference by providing us with your specific
comments or concerns about the Kleen Energy Lateral Project. Your

PJ11.1.

Becoming an Intervenor

    In addition to involvement in the EA scoping process, you may want
to become an official party to the proceeding known as an
``intervenor.''

Intervenors play a more formal role in the process. Among other things,
intervenors have the right to receive copies of case-related Commission
documents and filings by other intervenors. Likewise, each intervenor
must send one electronic copy (using the Commission's eFiling system)
or 14 paper copies of its filings to the Secretary of the Commission
and must send a copy of its filings to all other parties on the
Commission's service list for this proceeding.
    If you want to become an intervenor you must file a motion to
intervene according to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214) (see appendix 2).\3\ Only intervenors
have the right to seek rehearing of the Commission's decision.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Interventions may also be filed electronically via the
Internet in lieu of paper. See the previous discussion on filing
comments electronically.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Affected landowners and parties with environmental concerns may be
granted intervenor status upon showing good cause by stating that they
have a clear and direct interest in this proceeding which would not be
adequately represented by any other parties. You do not need intervenor
status to have your environmental comments considered.

Environmental Mailing List

    As described above, we may publish and distribute the EA for
comment. If you are interested in receiving an EA for review and/or
comment, please return the Environmental Mailing List Form (appendix
3). If you do not return the Environmental Mailing List Form, you will

Virginia; Major Disaster and Related Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This is a notice of the Presidential declaration of a major
disaster for the Commonwealth of Virginia (FEMA-1905-DR), dated April
27, 2010, and related determinations.

DATES: Effective Date: April 27, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peggy Miller, Recovery Directorate,
Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter
dated April 27, 2010, the President issued a major disaster declaration
under the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the ``Stafford
Act''), as follows:

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the
Commonwealth of Virginia resulting from severe winter storms and
snowstorms during the period of February 5-11, 2010, is of
sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a major disaster
declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the ``Stafford
Act''). Therefore, I declare that such a major disaster exists in
the Commonwealth of Virginia.
    In order to provide Federal assistance, you are hereby
authorized to allocate from funds available for these purposes in
such amounts as you find necessary for Federal disaster assistance
and administrative expenses.
    You are authorized to provide Public Assistance in the
designated areas and Hazard Mitigation throughout the Commonwealth.
You are further authorized to provide emergency protective measures,
including snow assistance, under the Public Assistance program for
any continuous 48-hour period during or proximate to the incident
period. You may extend the period of assistance, as warranted. This
assistance excludes regular time costs for the sub-grantees' regular
employees.
    Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance is
supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for
Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75
percent of the total eligible costs.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration
for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the
Stafford Act.

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice
that pursuant to the authority vested in the Administrator, under
Executive Order 12148, as amended, Regis Leo Phelan of FEMA is
appointed to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this major
disaster.

Ocean-Going Vessels At-Berth in California Ports; Opportunity for
Public Hearing and Comment

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of opportunity for public hearing and comment.

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

SUMMARY: The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has notified EPA
that it has adopted airborne toxic control measures for auxiliary
diesel engines operated on ocean-going vessels at-berth in California
ports (``At-Berth Regulation''). The At-Berth Regulation is designed to
reduce emissions of oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter from
auxiliary diesel engines on container vessels, passenger vessels and
refrigerated cargo vessels while they are docked at specified
California ports. CARB has requested that EPA grant a new full
authorization pursuant to Clean Air Act section 209(e) for this
regulation. This notice announces that EPA has tentatively scheduled a
public hearing to consider California's At-Berth Regulation, and that
EPA is now accepting written comment on the request.

DATES: EPA has tentatively scheduled a public hearing concerning CARB's
request on July 21, 2011, at 10 a.m. EST. EPA will hold a hearing only
if any party notifies EPA by July 15, 2011, expressing its interest in
presenting oral testimony. Parties wishing to present oral testimony at
the public hearing should provide written notice to Kristien Knapp at
the e-mail address

noted below. If EPA receives a request for a public hearing, that
hearing will be held at 1310 L Street, NW., Washington, DC 20005. If
EPA does not receive a request for a public hearing, then EPA will not
hold a hearing, and instead consider CARB's request based on written
submissions to the docket. Any party may submit written comments until
August 22, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. California's At-Berth Regulation

    By letter dated August 2, 2010, CARB submitted to EPA its request
pursuant to section 209(e) of the Clean Air Act (``CAA'' or ``the
Act''), regarding its regulations to enforce its airborne toxic control
measures (ATCM) for auxiliary diesel engines operated on ocean-going
vessels at-berth in California ports (``At-Berth Regulation'').\1\ The
At-Berth Regulation is designed to significantly reduce emissions of
diesel particulate matter (PM), which is a CARB-identified toxic air
contaminant, oxides of nitrogen (NOX), and carbon dioxide
(CO2), a greenhouse gas. These reductions will assist
California in meeting federal and state ambient air quality standards
for the South Coast and San Joaquin Valley air basins for ozone and
fine particulate matter (PM2.5). CARB approved the At-Berth
Regulation at a public hearing on December 6, 2007 (by Resolution 07-
57).\2\ After making modifications to the regulation available on
August 22, 2008 for supplemental public comment, CARB's Executive
Officer formally adopted the At-Berth Regulation in Executive Order R-
08-013 on October 16, 2008.\3\ The At-Berth Regulation is codified in
title 13, California Code of Regulations, section 2299.3, and title 17,
California Code of Regulations, section 93118.3.\4\

Authorization,'' August 2, 2010, EPA-HQ-OAR-2011-0548-0001.
    \2\ CARB Attachment 4, ``Resolution 07-57,'' EPA-HQ-
OAR-2011-0548-0006.

section 93118.3,'' EPA-HQ-OAR-2011-0548-0011.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CARB's At-Berth Regulation contains requirements that apply, with
limited exceptions,\5\ to any person who owns,

operates, charters, rents or leases any container vessel, passenger
vessel, or refrigerated cargo vessel that visits any of six specified
California ports.\6\ It also contains requirements that affect any
person who owns or operates those ports or terminals located at them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The following vessels are exempt from the At-Berth
Regulation: ocean going vessel voyages consisting of continuous and
expeditious navigation (i.e., traversing Regulated California Waters
without entering California internal estuarine waters or calling at
a port); vessels owned or operated by local, state, federal, or
foreign governments in government non-commercial services;
steamships; auxiliary engines using natural gas; and fleets composed
solely of container or refrigerated cargo vessels making fewer than
twenty-five (25) visits to the same California port in a Calendar
year or fleets composed solely of passenger vessels making fewer
than five (5) visits to the same California port in a calendar year.
Exemptions also exist for emergency events and hotelling required by
a federal agency. Title 17, California Code of Regulations (CCR),
section 93118.3(b)(3), CARB Attachment 9, ``Final
Regulation Order for title 17, CCR section 93118.3,'' EPA-HQ-OAR-
2011-0548-0011.
    \6\ The At-Berth Regulation applies to vessels docked at six
California ports: the Port of Hueneme, the Port of Los Angeles, the
Port of Long Beach, the Port of Oakland, the Port of San Diego, and
the Port of San Francisco.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The At-Berth Regulation requires fleets of container vessels,
passenger vessels and refrigerated cargo vessels to either: (1) Limit
the amount of time they operate their auxiliary diesel engines by
connecting to shore power for most of a vessel's stay at port (``Shore
Power Option''); or (2) achieve equivalent emission reductions by
employing other emission control techniques (``Equivalent Emission
Reduction Option'').\7\ Fleet operators that elect the Shore Power
Option are required to obtain the power that would otherwise be
provided by a vessel's auxiliary engines by connecting to shore power
for a percentage of the fleet's annual port visits.\8\ The required
percentage of shore power connected port visits increases over the life
of the regulation. Specifically, fifty percent of a fleet's total
visits must be connected to shore power by 2014, followed by seventy
percent by 2017, and eighty percent by 2020. Additionally, if a vessel
is equipped to connect to shore power and it visits a berth equipped to
provide compatible power, the vessel must use the shore power provided.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ ``Fleet'' means ``all container, passenger, and refrigerated
cargo vessels, visiting a specific California port, which are owned
and operated by, or otherwise under the direct control, of the same
Person * * * For purposes of this section, a person shall be deemed
to have separate fleets for each California port visited and each
fleet is composed of one type of vessel.'' Title 17, CCR section
93118.3(c)(16). See also CARB, ``Authorization Support Document,''
EPA-HQ-OAR-2011-0548-0002.
    \8\ ``Shore power'' is defined as ``electrical power being
provided by either the local utility or by distributed generation.''
CARB Attachment 9, ``Final Regulation Order for title 17, CCR
section 93118.3,'' EPA-HQ-OAR-2011-0548-0011.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Fleet operators that elect the Equivalent Emission Reduction Option
must reduce their fleet's auxiliary engine emissions by specific
amounts below the fleet's baseline emissions by specific dates.\9\ This
option requires that a fleet achieve a ten percent reduction from the
fleet's baseline emissions by 2010, a twenty-five percent reduction by
2012, a fifty percent reduction by 2014, a seventy percent reduction by
2017, and an eighty percent reduction by 2020. Emission reductions can
be achieved by: (1) Using grid-based shore power; (2) using distributed
generation equipment to provide power to the vessel; (3) using
alternative emission controls onboard a vessel or at the berth; or (4)
using a combination of these techniques. Fleets that achieve reductions
of emissions of oxides of nitrogen or particulate matter in excess of
the prescribed reductions receive fleet emission credits that can be
used to comply with emission reduction requirements in subsequent
years.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ CARB, ``Authorization Support Document,'' August 2, 2010,
EPA-HQ-OAR-2011-0548-0002.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The At-Berth Regulation also requires operators of terminals that
received more than fifty vessel visits in 2008 to submit terminal plans
identifying how the terminals would be upgraded to accommodate vessels
under the two compliance options and including a schedule for
implementing the needed infrastructure improvements. They are required
to submit plan updates at a frequency dependent upon the compliance
option selected by the vessel fleet owner or operator and the
terminals.

II. Clean Air Act Nonroad Engine and Vehicle Authorizations

    Section 209(e)(1) of the Act permanently preempts any State, or
political subdivision thereof, from adopting or attempting to enforce
any standard or other requirement relating to the control of emissions
for certain new nonroad engines or vehicles.
    Section 209(e)(2) requires the Administrator, after notice and
opportunity for public hearing, to authorize California to enforce
standards and other requirements relating to the control of emissions
from new engines not listed under section 209(e)(1), if certain
criteria are met. EPA has promulgated regulations implementing these
provisions at 40 CFR part 1074. These regulations set forth the
criteria that EPA must consider before granting California
authorization to enforce its new nonroad emission standards.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 1074.105
provides:
    (a) The Administrator will grant the authorization if California
determines that its standards will be, in the aggregate, at least as
protective of public health and welfare as otherwise applicable
federal standards.
    (b) The authorization will not be granted if the Administrator
finds that any of the following are true:
    (1) California's determination is arbitrary and capricious.
    (2) California does not need such standards to meet compelling
and extraordinary conditions.
    (3) The California standards and accompanying enforcement
procedures are not consistent with section 209 of the Act.
    (c) In considering any request from California to authorize the
state to adopt or enforce standards or other requirements relating
to the control of emissions from new nonroad spark-ignition engines
smaller than 50 horsepower, the Administrator will give appropriate
consideration to safety factors (including the potential increased
risk of burn or fire) associated with compliance with the California
standard.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As stated in the preamble to the section 209(e) rule, EPA has
historically interpreted the section 209(e)(2)(iii) ``consistency''
inquiry to require, at minimum, that California standards and
enforcement procedures be consistent with section 209(a), section
209(e)(1), and section 209(b)(1)(C) (as EPA has interpreted that
subsection in the context of section 209(b) motor vehicle waivers).\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See 59 FR 36969 (July 20, 1994).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In order to be consistent with section 209(a), California's nonroad
standards and enforcement procedures must not apply to new motor
vehicles or new motor vehicle engines. To be consistent with section
209(e)(1), California's nonroad standards and enforcement procedures
must not attempt to regulate engine categories that are permanently
preempted from state regulation. To determine consistency with section
209(b)(1)(C), EPA typically reviews nonroad authorization requests
under the same ``consistency'' criteria that are applied to motor
vehicle waiver requests. Pursuant to section 209(b)(1)(C), the
Administrator shall not grant California a motor vehicle waiver if she
finds that California ``standards and accompanying enforcement
procedures are not consistent with section 202(a)'' of the Act.
Previous decisions granting waivers and authorizations have noted that
state standards and enforcement procedures are inconsistent with
section 202(a) if: (1) There is inadequate lead time to permit the
development of the necessary technology giving appropriate
consideration to the cost of compliance within that time, or (2) the
federal and state testing procedures impose inconsistent certification
requirements.

III. EPA's Request for Comments

    As stated above, EPA is offering the opportunity for a public
hearing, and requesting written comment on issues

relevant to a full authorization analysis. Specifically, we request
comment on: (a) Whether CARB's determination that its standards, in the
aggregate, are at least as protective of public health and welfare as
applicable federal standards is arbitrary and capricious, (b) whether
California needs such standards to meet compelling and extraordinary
conditions, and (c) whether California's standards and accompanying
enforcement procedures are consistent with section 209 of the Act.

IV. Procedures for Public Participation

    If a hearing is held, the Agency will make a verbatim record of the
proceedings. Interested parties may arrange with the reporter at the
hearing to obtain a copy of the transcript at their own expense.
Regardless of whether a public hearing is held, EPA will keep the
record open until August 22, 2011. Upon expiration of the comment
period, the Administrator will render a decision on CARB's request
based on the record from the public hearing, if any, all relevant
written submissions, and other information that she deems pertinent.
All information will be available for inspection at the EPA Air Docket
No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2011-0548.
    Persons with comments containing proprietary information must
distinguish such information from other comments to the greatest extent
possible and label it as ``Confidential Business Information''
(``CBI''). If a person making comments wants EPA to base its decision
on a submission labeled as CBI, then a non-confidential version of the
document that summarizes the key data or information should be
submitted to the public docket. To ensure that proprietary information
is not inadvertently placed in the public docket, submissions
containing such information should be sent directly to the contact
person listed above and not to the public docket. Information covered
by a claim of confidentiality will be disclosed by EPA only to the
extent allowed, and according to the procedures set forth in 40 CFR
part 2. If no claim of confidentiality accompanies the submission when
EPA receives it, EPA will make it available to the public without
further notice to the person making comments.
