[Docket Nos. CP15-18-000; CP15-18-001; CP15-498-000]

Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company; Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed White Oak Mainline Expansion
Project and System Reliability Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the White
Oak Mainline Expansion (White Oak) Project and System Reliability
Project, proposed by Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company (Eastern Shore)
in the above-referenced docket. Eastern Shore requests authorization to
construct, install, own, operate, and maintain certain facilities
located in Chester County, Pennsylvania and New Castle, Kent, and
Sussex, Counties, Delaware.
    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the White Oak and System Reliability
Projects in accordance with the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that approval
of the proposed projects, with appropriate mitigating measures, would
not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment.
    Specifically, the proposed White Oak Project includes the following
facilities:
     3.3 miles of 16-inch-diameter looping pipeline (the
Daleville Loop) in Chester County, Pennsylvania;
     2.1 miles of 16-inch-diameter looping pipeline
(Kemblesville Loop) in Chester County, Pennsylvania; and
     3,550 horsepower of additional compression at Eastern
Shore's existing Delaware City Compressor Station in New Castle County,
Delaware.
    Specifically, the proposed System Reliability Project includes the
following facilities:
     2.5 miles of 16-inch-diameter looping pipeline (Porter
Road Loop) in New Castle County, Delaware;
     7.6 miles of 16-inch-diameter looping pipeline (Dover
Loop) in Kent County, Delaware;
     installation of associated underground and aboveground
facilities (two mainline valves, a meter and regulator station); and
     an additional 1,775 horsepower of compression at Eastern
Shore's existing Bridgeville Compressor Station in Sussex County,
Delaware.
    The FERC staff mailed copies of the EA to federal, state, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes;
potentially affected landowners and other interested individuals and
groups; newspapers and libraries in each project area; and parties to
this proceeding.
    In addition, the EA is available for public viewing on the FERC's
Web site (www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link. A limited number of
copies of the EA are available for distribution and public inspection
at: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Public Reference Room, 888
First Street NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Your comments
should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable
alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts.
The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. To
ensure that the Commission has the opportunity to consider your
comments prior to making its decision on these projects, it is
important that we receive your comments in Washington, DC on or before
May 25, 2016.
    For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to file
your comments with the Commission. In all instances, please reference
the project docket number (CP15-18-001 or CP15-498-000 [as applicable])
with your submission. The Commission encourages electronic filing of
comments and has expert staff available to assist you at<PHONE_NUMBER>
or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (1) You can file your comments electronically using the eComment
feature on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the link to
Documents and Filings. This is an easy method for submitting brief,
text-only comments on a project;
    (2) You can also file your comments electronically using the
eFiling feature on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the
link to Documents and Filings. With eFiling, you can provide comments
in a variety of formats by attaching them as a file with your
submission. New eFiling users must first create an account by clicking
on ``eRegister.'' You must select the type of filing you are making. If
you are filing a comment on a particular project, please select
``Comment on a Filing''; or
    (3) You can file a paper copy of your comments by mailing them to
the following address: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC
20426.
    Any person seeking to become a party to the proceeding must file a
motion to intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 385.214).\1\ Only intervenors have the
right to seek rehearing of the Commission's decision. The Commission
grants affected landowners and others with environmental concerns
intervenor status upon showing good cause by stating that they have a
clear and direct interest in this proceeding which no other party can
adequately represent.

Simply filing environmental comments will not give you intervenor
status, but you do not need intervenor status to have your comments
considered.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See the previous discussion on the methods for filing
comments.

Commission's Office of External Affairs, at (866) 208-FERC, or on the
FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link. Click on the
eLibrary link, click on ``General Search,'' and enter the docket number
excluding the last three digits in the Docket Number field (i.e., CP15-

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R04-OAR-2016-0359; FRL-9956-63-Region 4]

Air Plan Approval; TN; Revisions to the Knox County Portion of
the TN SIP

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Tennessee,
through the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation
(TDEC), on January 11, 2016. The revision was submitted by TDEC on
behalf of the Knox County Department of Air Quality Management, which
has jurisdiction over Knox County, Tennessee. The revision that EPA is
approving amends the Knox County Air Quality Management Department's
regulations, which are part of the Tennessee SIP, to address EPA's
startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) SIP call for Knox County. EPA
is approving the January 11, 2016, SIP revision because the Agency has
determined that it is in accordance with the requirements for SIP
provisions under the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act).

DATES: This rule will be effective January 17, 2017.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket
Identification No. EPA-R04-OAR-2016-0359. All documents in the docket
are listed on the www.regulations.gov Web site. Although listed in the
index, some information is not publicly available, i.e., Confidential
Business Information or other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted
material, is not placed on the Internet and will be publicly available
only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket materials are

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On May 22, 2015, EPA finalized an action (hereafter referred to as
the ``SSM SIP Action'') \1\ that responded to a Sierra Club petition
for rulemaking concerning state rule treatment of excess emissions by
sources during periods of SSM and called for 36 states to submit
corrective SIP revisions to EPA by November 22, 2016. As discussed in
that action, EPA determined that Knox County Regulation 32.1(C) \2\ is
inconsistent with the fundamental requirements of CAA sections
113(e)(1), 114(c) and 304 and the credible evidence rule \3\ and thus
issued a SIP call requiring the State to submit a corrective SIP
revision addressing this provision. See 80 FR 33965.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See ``State Implementation Plans: Response to Petition for
Rulemaking; Restatement and Update of EPA's SSM Policy Applicable to
SIPs; Findings of Substantial Inadequacy; and SIP Calls To Amend
Provisions Applying to Excess Emissions During Periods of Startup,
Shutdown and Malfunction,'' 80 FR 33839 (June 12, 2015).
    \2\ Knox County SIP Regulation 32.1(C) is a subsection of
Section 32.0, ``Use of Evidence.''
    \3\ 40 CFR 51.212(c); see also ``Credible Evidence Revisions,''
62 FR 8314 (Feb. 24, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On January 11, 2016, the State of Tennessee submitted a SIP
revision, pursuant to a request by the Knox County Department of Air
Quality Management, to address the SSM SIP Action with respect to Knox
County. The revision removes the language from Knox County Regulation
32.1(C) that EPA found to be unlawful in the SSM SIP Action and
replaces it with ``(Reserved).'' In a proposed rulemaking published on
September 22, 2016 (81 FR 65313), EPA proposed to approve that

SIP revision. The details of Tennessee's SIP revision and the rationale
for EPA's action are explained in the proposed rulemaking. Comments on
the proposed rulemaking were due on or before October 24, 2016. EPA did
not receive any comments on the proposed action.

II. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of Knox County
Regulation Section 32.0 entitled ``Use of Evidence,'' effective
November 12, 2015, which replaces the language previously included in
Section 32.1(C) with ``(Reserved).'' Therefore, these materials have
been approved by EPA for inclusion in the SIP, have been incorporated
by reference by EPA into that plan, are fully federally enforceable
under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of the effective date of the
final rulemaking of EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by
reference by the Director of the Federal Register in the next update to
the SIP compilation.\4\ EPA has made, and will continue to make, these
materials generally available through www.regulations.gov and/or at the
EPA Region 4 Office (please contact the person identified in the ``For
Further Information Contact'' section of this preamble for more
information).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving the Tennessee SIP revision consisting of replacing
the language in Section 32.1(C) currently in the EPA-approved SIP for
Knox County with ``(Reserved).'' EPA is approving the January 11, 2016
SIP revision because the Agency has determined that it is in accordance
with the requirements for SIP provisions under the CAA, is otherwise
consistent with the CAA, and adequately addresses the SSM SIP call with
respect to the Knox County portion of the Tennessee SIP.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
federal regulations. See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does
not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by February 14, 2017. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2).

Export Administration Regulations: Termination of United Arab
Emirates Participation in the Arab League Boycott of Israel

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: In this final rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)
amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to reflect the
formal termination by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) of its
participation in the Arab League Boycott of Israel. Specifically, in
recognition of the UAE's August 16, 2020 issuance of Federal Decree-Law
No. 4 of 2020, certain requests for information, action or agreement
from the UAE, which were presumed to be boycott-related if made prior
to August 16, 2020, would not be presumed to be boycott-related if made
following that date, and thus would not be prohibited or reportable
under the EAR. Accordingly, BIS adds an interpretation to the
Restrictive Trade Practices or Boycotts regulations of the EAR, which
sets forth BIS's view that the prohibitions and reporting requirements
contained in the EAR's antiboycott provisions do not apply to such
requests from the UAE made after August 16, 2020.

DATES: This rule is effective June 8, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cathleen Ryan, Director, Office of
Antiboycott Compliance, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S.
Department of Commerce, by email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or by phone at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Office of Antiboycott Compliance (OAC) administers and enforces
the antiboycott provisions set forth in part 760 (Restrictive Trade
Practices and Boycotts) of the Export Administration

Regulations (EAR) (15 CFR parts 730 through 774). These antiboycott
provisions discourage, and in certain circumstances prohibit, United
States persons from taking specific actions in furtherance or support
of an unsanctioned foreign boycott by a country against a country
friendly to the United States, including complying with certain
requests to provide information about business relationships with a
boycotted country or with blacklisted persons or to refuse to do
business with certain persons for boycott-related reasons. Pursuant to
part 760 of the EAR, the receipt of such requests may be reportable to
OAC.
    In connection with an agreement between the United Arab Emirates
(UAE) and Israel establishing full diplomatic and commercial relations
and normalization (the ``Abraham Accords''), on August 16, 2020, the
UAE issued Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2020, which repealed Federal Law
No. 15 of 1972 Concerning the Arab League Boycott of Israel (``August
16, 2020 decree''), thereby formally ending the UAE's participation in
the Arab League Boycott of Israel.
    In this final rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)
amends part 760 of the EAR to add an Interpretation that reflects the
UAE's formal termination (through the issuance of the August 16, 2020
decree) of its participation in the Arab League Boycott of Israel. In
making this amendment, BIS has also taken into account actions that the
UAE Government has undertaken to implement, in policy and practice, the
August 16, 2020 decree. As set forth in this Interpretation, which will
appear as new Supplement No. 17 to part 760 of the EAR, certain
requests for information, action or agreement from the UAE that were
presumed to be boycott-related prior to August 16, 2020 would not be
presumed to be boycott-related if issued after August 16, 2020, and
thus would not be subject to the prohibitions or reporting requirements
of part 760 of the EAR. Further, the Interpretation reminds United
States persons that requests that are on their face boycott-related or
that are for action obviously in furtherance or support of an
unsanctioned foreign boycott are subject to part 760 of the EAR,
irrespective of the country of origination.

Export Control Reform Act of 2018

    On August 13, 2018, President Donald J. Trump signed into law the
John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019,
which included the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (ECRA) (50 U.S.C.
4801-4852). Part II of ECRA contains the Anti-Boycott Act of 2018. ECRA
provides the legal basis for BIS's principal authorities and serves as
the authority under which BIS issues this rule.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distribute impacts, and equity). Executive
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This final rule has been designated as not significant for
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
    2. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined under Executive Order 13132.
    3. Pursuant to section 1762 of the Export Control Reform Act of
2018 (50 U.S.C. 4821), this action is exempt from the Administrative
Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) requirements for notice of proposed
rulemaking, opportunity for public participation, and delay in
effective date.
    4. Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for
public comment are not required to be given for this rule by 5 U.S.C.
553, or by any other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., are not applicable. This rule
reflects a policy development involving the United Arab Emirates that
advances the U.S. Government's foreign policy and national security.
Accordingly, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required, and none
has been prepared.
    5. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person may be
required to respond to or be subject to a penalty for failure to comply
with a collection of information, subject to the requirements of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), unless that
collection of information displays a currently valid Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number. This regulation involves a
collection currently approved by OMB under control number 0694-0012,
Report of Requests for Restrictive Trade Practice or Boycott--Single or
Multiple Transactions. The collection carries a burden estimate of 60
to 90 minutes for a manual or electronic submission for a total burden
estimate of 482 hours. BIS expects the burden hours associated with
this collection to decrease with the publication of this rule.

List of Subjects in 15 CFR Part 760

    Exports, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Trade practices.

    Accordingly, part 760 of the Export Administration Regulations (15
CFR parts 730-774) is amended as follows:

PART 760--RESTRICTIVE TRADE PRACTICES OR BOYCOTTS

0
1. The authority citation for part 760 is revised to read as follows:

    Authority:  50 U.S.C. 4801-4852; 50 U.S.C. 4601 et seq.; 50
U.S.C. 1701 et seq.; E.O. 13222, 66 FR 44025, 3 CFR, 2001 Comp., p.
783.

0
2. Add supplement no. 17 to part 760 to read as follows:

Supplement No. 17 to Part 760--Interpretation

    Pursuant to the agreement between the United Arab Emirates (UAE)
and Israel establishing diplomatic and commercial relations (the
``Abraham Accords''), on August 16, 2020, the UAE issued Federal
Decree-Law No. 4 of 2020, abolishing Federal Law No. 15 of 1972
Concerning the Arab League Boycott of Israel, thereby formally
terminating participation by the UAE in the Arab League Boycott of
Israel as of that date.
    On the basis of this action, it is the Department's position that
certain requests for information, action or agreement from the UAE,
which were presumed to be boycott-related under this part of the EAR if
issued prior to August 16, 2020, would not be presumed to be boycott-
related if issued after August 16, 2020, and thus would not be
prohibited or reportable under this part of the EAR.
    For example, a request from the UAE that an exporter certify that
the vessel on which it is shipping its goods is eligible to enter UAE
ports was formerly presumed to be a boycott-related request under this
part of the EAR with which the exporter could not comply because the
UAE had a boycott law in force against Israel. Such a request from the
UAE made after August 16, 2020, would no longer be presumed to be
boycott-related because the underlying boycott requirement/basis for
the certification was eliminated as of August 16, 2020. Similarly, a
U.S. company would not be prohibited from complying with a request made
by UAE government officials after August 16, 2020, to furnish the place
of birth of employees the company is seeking to take to the UAE because
there is no underlying

UAE government boycott law or policy that would give rise to a
presumption that the request was boycott-related.
    U.S. persons are reminded that requests that are on their face
boycott-related or that are for action obviously in furtherance or
support of an unsanctioned foreign boycott are subject to this part of
the EAR, irrespective of the country of origination. For example,
requests containing references to ``blacklisted companies,'' ``Israel
boycott list,'' ``non-Israeli goods,'' or other phrases or words
indicating a boycott purpose would be subject to the appropriate
provisions of the Department's antiboycott regulations in this part.
