NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
TFR Temporary Final Rule

A. Regulatory History and Information

    On April 18, 2013, in light of dangerously high water conditions,
the Coast Guard established a safety zone on the Illinois River from
Mile Marker 187.2 to Mile Marker 285.9 (see USCG-2013-0323 docket for a
copy of the previous regulation). The safety zone restricted
recreational and commercial vessel transits in the zone without the
permission of the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan. The safety zone
has been effective and enforced since April 18, 2013 and expires on
April 30, 2013.
    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because doing so would be impracticable. The
Coast Guard is issuing this rule in response to an immediate and
emergency situation which involves river flooding--an act of nature.
Thus, delaying the effective date of this rule to wait for a comment
period to run would be impracticable because it would inhibit the Coast
Guard's ability to protect persons and vessels from the hazards, which
are discussed further below, associated with extreme high water on the
Illinois River.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. For the same reasons discussed in
the preceding paragraph, waiting for 30 day notice period to run would
be impracticable and contrary to the public interest.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the rule is the Coast Guard's authority to
establish regulated navigation areas and limited access areas: 33
U.S.C. 1231; 46 U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33
CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, 160.5; Public Law 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064;
Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.
    Heavy and extended periods of rain during the first half of the
month of April have resulted in dangerously high

waters within the Illinois River. High-water conditions are hindering
navigation due to excessive debris and rapidly-flowing water. Current
high-water conditions also threaten to damage critical infrastructure
including river levees.
    On April 18, 2013, as a result of these conditions, the Coast Guard
established a safety zone on the Illinois River from Mile Marker 187.2
to Mile Marker 285.9 restricting recreational vessel transit and
commercial vessel fleeting in the safety zone without the permission of
the Captain of the Port. Since April 18, seven barges broke loose from
their tow during an approach to the Marseilles Lock canal and lodged
against the Marseilles Dam. Salvage operations are underway to recover
the barges and a structural survey of the dam needs to be completed. In
order to protect vessel traffic above the dam and ensure that salvage
operations remain unimpeded a safety zone between mile marker 244 and
mile marker 252 is being enforced to prohibit all vessels that are not
directly engaged in the salvage operations.
    In response to these changes and to allow commerce to resume on the
river, the Captain of the Port is issuing this temporary final rule.
Enforcement of the restrictions in the prior temporary safety zone will
be suspended.
    The Captain of the Port, Sector Lake Michigan, has established the
restrictions named within this regulation in response to the safety
risks presented by the high water conditions, the potentially
compromised dam, and ongoing salvage operations. The safety risks
associated with these conditions include loss of vessel control,
sinking, swamping, collisions, and allisions.

C. Discussion of Rule

    The Captain of the Port, Sector Lake Michigan, has determined that
a safety zone is necessary to mitigate the aforementioned safety risks.
Thus, this rule establishes a safety zone that encompasses all waters
of the Illinois River from Mile Marker 187.2 to Mile Marker 285.9. This
rule will place restrictions on certain vessels so that no recreational
vessel may transit this portion of the Illinois River. Furthermore,
this rule will prohibit commercial vessels from transiting an area of
the safety zone in which salvage operations are being conducted except
by permission of the Captain of the Port, Sector Lake Michigan. This
rule is effective and will be enforced from April 26, 2013, until May
31, 2013.
    The Captain of the Port Lake Michigan will notify the public that
this safety zone is being enforced by all appropriate means to the
affected segments of the public including publication in the Federal
Register as practicable, in accordance with 33 CFR 165.7(a). Such means
of notification may also include, but are not limited to Broadcast
Notice to Mariners or Local Notice to Mariners.
    All persons and vessels shall comply with the instructions of the
Captain of the Port, Sector Lake Michigan, or his or her designated on-
scene representative. Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the
safety zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port,
Sector Lake Michigan, or his or her designated on-scene representative.
The Captain of the Port, Sector Lake Michigan, or his or her designated
on-scene representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16 or by
contacting the Coast Guard Sector Lake Michigan Command Center at (414)
747-7182.

E. Regulatory Analysis

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

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. 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 conclude that this rule is not a
significant regulatory action because we anticipate that it will have
minimal impact on the economy, will not interfere with other agencies,
will not adversely alter the budget of any grant or loan recipients,
and will not raise any novel legal or policy issues. The safety zone
created by this rule will be relatively small and enforced for a
relatively short amount of time. Also, this safety zone is designed to
minimize its impact on navigable waters. Furthermore, the safety zone
has been designed to allow vessels to transit unrestricted to portions
of the waterways not affected by the safety zones. Thus, restrictions
on vessel movements within that particular area are expected to be
minimal. Under certain conditions, moreover, vessels may still transit
through the safety zone when permitted by the Captain of the Port,
Sector Lake Michigan. On the whole, the Coast Guard expects
insignificant adverse impact to mariners from the activation of this
safety zone.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 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 rule
would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. This rule will affect the following entities, some of
which might be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels
intending to transit or anchor within the portions of the Illinois
River to which this regulation applies.
    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: This
rule will be enforced for a limited time during dangerous high-water
conditions on the Illinois River. 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.

3. 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 rule to that they can better evaluate
its effects on them. If this 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 above.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's

responsiveness to small business. If you wish to comment on actions by
employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR (1-888-734-3247). The
Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that question or
complain about this rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

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

5. Federalism

    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 rule under that Order and determined
that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. 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 rule would not result
in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

7. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not affect the taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.

8. Civil Justice Reform

    This 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.

9. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this 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.

10. Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does 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.

11. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

12. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

13. Environment

    We have analyzed this 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 determined
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 rule involves the establishment of a safety zone, and
thus, paragraph 34(g) of figure 2-1 in Commandant Instruction M16475.lD
applies.
    An environmental analysis checklist supporting this determination
and a Categorical Exclusion Determination are available in the docket
where indicated under ADDRESSES.

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A Model
PIAGGIO P-180 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. 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:

    Compass mismatch (up to loss of heading information) were
reported by operators, due to ferro-magnetic masses (like the
telescopic Tow-Bar) stowed in the baggage compartment. A limitation
was added to the approved Airplane Flight Manual, stating that the
towing bar P/N 01-1227-0000 or similar ferromagnetic masses are
prohibited to be carried in the baggage compartment.

    Temporary Change No. 7 to the Pilot's Operating Handbook and EASA
Approved Airplane Flight Manual Rep. 6591, issued: February 24, 2009,
include MCAI that has maintenance requirements and/or airworthiness
limitations developed by Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A. and Piaggio
Aero Industries. These revisions are approved and considered mandatory
by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community. Failure to
comply with the MCAI constitutes an unsafe condition. 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 December 20,
2010.

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

Discussion

    Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A. and Piaggio Aero Industries have
issued service information (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The service
information and limitations are considered mandatory by the EASA, which
is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Community.
The MCAI states:

    Compass mismatch (up to loss of heading information) were
reported by operators, due to ferro-magnetic masses (like the
telescopic Tow-Bar) stowed in the baggage compartment. A limitation
was added to the approved Airplane Flight Manual, stating that the
towing bar P/N 01-1227-0000 or similar ferromagnetic masses are
prohibited to be carried in the baggage compartment.

    Temporary Change No. 7 to the Pilot's Operating Handbook and EASA
Approved Airplane Flight Manual Rep. 6591, issued: February 24, 2009,
include MCAI that has maintenance requirements and/or airworthiness
limitations developed by Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A. and Piaggio
Aero Industries. These revisions are approved and considered mandatory
by the EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Community. Ferro-magnetic masses stowed in the baggage
compartment may cause an erroneous indication from the compass (loss of
heading information), which could result in loss of control of the
airplane. The MCAI requires incorporating a temporary change to the
airplane flight manual and placard installation. You may obtain further
information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A. has issued Service Bulletin
(Mandatory) N.: SB 80-0275, Rev. N. 0, dated June 15, 2009, and Piaggio
Aero Industries has issued P180-Service Letter No. SL-80-0202, dated
January 30, 2009. The actions described in this service information are
intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the 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 this State of Design Authority, they
have notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and
service information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because
we evaluated all information and determined the unsafe condition exists
and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type
design.

Differences Between This Proposed 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

    We estimate that this proposed AD will affect 100 products of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per
product to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The
average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost
about $50 per product.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD on
U.S. operators to be $13,500, or $135 per product.

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.

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:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A.: Docket No. FAA-2010-1099;
Directorate Identifier 2010-CE-054-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by December 20, 2010.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A. Model
PIAGGIO P-180 airplanes, all manufacturer serial numbers (MSN),
certificated in any category.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 50: Cargo
and Accessory Compartments.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:

    Compass mismatch (up to loss of heading information) were
reported by operators, due to ferro-magnetic masses (like the
telescopic Tow-Bar) stowed in the baggage compartment. A limitation
was added to the approved Airplane Flight Manual, stating that the
towing bar P/N 01-1227-0000 or similar ferromagnetic masses are
prohibited to be carried in the baggage compartment.

Temporary Change No. 7 to the Pilot's Operating Handbook and EASA
Approved Airplane Flight Manual Rep. 6591, issued: February 24,
2009, include MCAI that has maintenance requirements and/or
airworthiness limitations developed by Piaggio Aero Industries
S.p.A. and Piaggio Aero Industries. These revisions are approved and
considered mandatory by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA),
which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European
Community. Failure to comply with the MCAI constitutes an unsafe
condition. The MCAI requires incorporating a temporary change to the
airplane flight manual and placard installation.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, within 5 flights after the effective
date of this AD, do the following actions:
    (1) For MSN 1004 through 1104: Incorporate Temporary Change No.
7 to the Pilot's Operating Handbook and EASA Approved Airplane
Flight Manual Rep. 6591, issued: February 24, 2009, in the
Limitations Section following Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A. Service
Bulletin (Mandatory) N.: SB 80-0275, Rev. N. 0, dated June 15, 2009.
    (2) For MSN 1105 and subsequent: Incorporate Temporary Change
No. 11 to the EASA Approved Airplane Flight Manual Rep. 180-MAN-
0010-01100, issued: February 24, 2009, in the Limitations Section
following Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A. Service Bulletin
(Mandatory) N.: SB 80-0275, Rev. N. 0, dated June 15, 2009, and
Piaggio Aero Industries P180-Service Letter No. SL-80-0202, dated
January 30, 2009.
    (3) All MSN: Install the part number 80K347593-005 limitation
placard in the front of the baggage compartment door following
Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A. Service Bulletin (Mandatory) N.: SB
80-0275, Rev. N. 0, dated June 15, 2009.

FAA AD Differences

    Note:  This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows: Revisions and changes to the Limitations Section of the
AFM are mandatory in Europe as part of the European regulatory
process upon issuance by the type certificate holder. The FAA must
mandate any such changes through rulemaking, specifically in this
case an airworthiness directive.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (g) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
Standards Office, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this
AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send
information to ATTN: Sarjapur Nagarajan, Aerospace Engineer, FAA,
Small Airplane Directorate, 901 Locust, Room 301, Kansas City,
Missouri 64106; telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
Before using any approved AMOC on any airplane to which the AMOC
applies, notify your appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the FAA
Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local
FSDO.
    (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product
is airworthy before it is returned to service.
    (3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in
this AD, a federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person
is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a
penalty for failure to comply with a collection of information
subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless
that collection of information displays a current

valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number for this
information collection is 2120-0056. Public reporting for this
collection of information is estimated to be approximately 5 minutes
per response, including the time for reviewing instructions,
completing and reviewing the collection of information. All
responses to this collection of information are mandatory. Comments
concerning the accuracy of this burden and suggestions for reducing
the burden should be directed to the FAA at: 800 Independence Ave.,
SW., Washington, DC 20591, Attn: Information Collection Clearance
Officer, AES-200.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket Nos. CP20-68-000; CP20-70-000]

Enable Gas Transmission, LLC, Enable Gulf Run Transmission, LLC;
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review of the Gulf Run and Line CP
Modifications Project

    On February 28, 2020, Enable Gas Transmission, LLC (EGT) and Enable
Gulf Run Transmission, LLC (Gulf Run) (collectively, Enable) filed
applications in Docket Nos. CP20-68-000 and CP20-70-000 requesting a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity pursuant to Section
7(c) of the Natural Gas Act to construct and operate certain natural
gas pipeline facilities in Texas and Louisiana. The proposed project
combination is known as the Gulf Run and Line CP Modifications Project
(Project) and would include modifications to existing facilities to
allow bi-directional flow, a new natural gas pipeline, and ancillary
facilities which would allow transport of about 1,650,000 dekatherms of
natural gas per day.
    On March 13, 2020, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission or FERC) issued its Notice of Application for the Project.
Among other things, that notice alerted agencies issuing federal
authorizations of the requirement to complete all necessary reviews and
to reach a final decision on a request for a federal authorization
within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Project. This instant notice
identifies the FERC staff's planned schedule for the completion of the
EA for the Project.

Schedule for Environmental Review

    Issuance of EA, July 31, 2020.
    90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline, October 29, 2020.
    If a schedule change becomes necessary, additional notice will be
provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the
Project's progress.

Project Description

    The Project includes two components: (1) Approximately 134 miles of
new 42-inch-diameter pipeline, seven associated mainline valves, one
new meter/regulating station, and other ancillary facilities in
Louisiana; and (2) modifications to two existing Line CP compressor
stations and three existing meter/regulating stations, and two new
meter/regulating stations in Texas and Louisiana.

Background

    On April 12, 2019, the Commission staff granted Enable's request to
use the FERC's Pre-filing environmental review process and assigned the
Gulf Run and Line CP Modifications Project Docket No. PF19-3-000. On
June 12, 2019, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Gulf Run and Line CP
Modifications Project, Request for Comments on Environmental Issues,
and Notice of Public Scoping Sessions (NOI).
    The NOI was issued during the pre-filing review of the Project and
was sent to federal, state, and local government agencies; elected
officials; affected landowners; environmental and public interest
groups; Native American tribes and regional organizations; commentors
and other interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. Major
issues raised during scoping include pipeline safety, Project
necessity, route alternatives, threatened and endangered species,
inland fisheries, water quality and turbidity, and wildlife management
areas.
    At the time of filing its application, Enable had determined that
certain originally planned pipeline and compression facilities
considered during the pre-filing review were no longer necessary for
the Project. Upon review of Enable's proposed facilities in its filed
application, FERC staff determined that an EA is the appropriate means
to evaluate the Project's environmental impacts, rather than an
environmental impact statement. Due to Enable's removal of certain
originally planned facilities in the filed application, many of the
comments received in response to the NOI are no longer relevant. All
applicable and substantive comments will be addressed in the EA.

Additional Information

    In order to receive notification of the issuance of the EA and to
keep track of all formal issuances and submittals in specific dockets,
the Commission offers a free service called eSubscription. This can
reduce the amount of time you spend researching proceedings by
automatically providing you with notification of these filings,
document summaries, and direct links to the documents. Go to
www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp.
    Additional information about the Project is available from the
Commission's Office of External Affairs at (866) 208-FERC or on the
FERC website (www.ferc.gov). Using the ``eLibrary'' link, select
``General Search'' from the eLibrary menu, enter the selected date
range and ``Docket Number'' excluding the last three digits (i.e.,
CP20-68 or CP20-70), and follow the instructions. For assistance with
access to eLibrary, the helpline can be reached at<PHONE_NUMBER>, TTY
(202) 502-8659, or at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>The eLibrary link on
the FERC website also provides access to the texts of formal documents
issued by the Commission, such as orders, notices, and rule makings.

    Dated: April 28, 2020.

Secretary.

all requests in the referenced Docket.  We may amend, modify, or revoke
the authority granted in this Notice at any time without hearing at our
discretion.

Security Administration has determined that security is adequate to
allow such airport(s) to be served;

(3)  Comply with the requirements for minimum insurance coverage
contained in 14 CFR Part 205, and, prior to the commencement of any
operations under this authority, file evidence of such coverage, in the
form of a completed OST Form 6411, with the Federal Aviation

origin, point of destination, or agreed stopping place, or for which the
contract of carriage was purchased in the United States; or (b)  based
on a claim under any international agreement or treaty cognizable in any
court or other tribunal of the United States.  In this condition, the
term "international air transportation" means "international
transportation" as defined by the Warsaw Convention, except that all
States shall be considered to be High Contracting Parties for the
purpose of this definition;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information
collection requirements in accord with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that
information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs)
is minimal, collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's
estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651
et seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH Act or for developing
information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational
injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also
requires that OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon
employers, especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce
to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
    Subpart I specifies several paperwork requirements which are
described below.
    Section 1915.152(b) requires the employer to assess work activities
to determine whether there are hazards present, or likely to be
present, which necessitate the worker's use of PPE. If such hazards are
present, or likely to be present, the employer must: (1) Select the
type of PPE that will protect the affected workers from the hazards
identified in the occupational hazard assessment; (2) communicate PPE
selection decisions to the affected workers; (3) select PPE that
properly fits each affected worker; and (4) maintain documentation to
verify that the required occupational hazard assessment has been
performed. The verification must contain the following information:
Occupation or trade assessed, the date(s) of the hazard assessment, and
the name of the person performing the hazard assessment.

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirements
are necessary for the proper performance of the Agency's functions,
including whether the information is useful;
     The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and
costs) of the information collection requirements, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     The quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply;
for example, by using automated or other technological information
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    OSHA is requesting that OMB extend its approval of the collection
of information requirements contained in the Standard on Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) for Shipyard Employment (29 CFR part 1915,
subpart I). The Agency is requesting an adjustment increase of 120
burden hours (from 52 hours to 172 hours). This increase is the result
of identifying additional establishments that have been covered by the
Shipyard Employment PPE Standard.
    OSHA will summarize the comments submitted in response to this
notice, and will include this summary in its request to OMB to extend
the approval of the information collection requirements contained in
the Standard

on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for Shipyard Employment (29 CFR
part 1915, subpart I).
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Personal Protective Equipment Standard for Shipyard
Employment (29 CFR part 1915, subpart I).
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0215.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
    Number of Respondents: 2,759.
    Total Responses: 2,144.
    Frequency of Response: On Occasion.
    Average Time per Response: An estimated 5 minutes (.08 hour) for
employers to record the hazard assessment.
    Estimated Burden Hours: 172.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $0.
