                             Consultation Results

The American Water Works Association (AWWA) provided two comments based on the first Federal Register notice as follows:
      The first was that EPA should reconsider our assumption of burden reduction due to the ongoing Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) modernization. EPA has removed the anticipated burden reduction from the ICR calculation because  the revised SDWIS will not be completed during the time period covered by the ICR.
	AWWA's second comment was that EPA should reconsider and revise our burden estimates because EPA has issued new guidance to the States since the rules were promulgated. EPA did not revise the burden estimates. EPA's guidance help the States implement the existing regulatory requirements; they do not establish new requirements; therefore, no changes in burden were applied.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP11-59-000]

Northwest Pipeline, GP; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Molalla Capacity Replacement
Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues, and Notice of
Public Scoping Meeting

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of the Molalla Capacity Replacement
Project, which would involve pipeline and associated facility
abandonment and the construction and operation of a new pipeline loop
and associated facilities by Northwest Pipeline, GP (Northwest) in
Marion and Clackamas Counties, Oregon. This EA will be used by the
Commission in its decision-making process to determine whether the
project is in the public convenience and necessity.
    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 the Commission staff
determine what issues need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note that
the scoping period will close on March 18, 2011.
    Comments may be submitted in written form or verbally. Further
details on how to submit written comments are provided in the Public
Participation section of this notice. In lieu of or in addition to
sending written comments, the Commission invites you to attend the
public scoping meeting scheduled as follows: FERC Public Scoping
Meeting, Molalla Capacity Replacement Project, March 1, 2011, 6:30 p.m.
PST, St. Mary's Public Elementary School, 590 East College Street,
Mount Angel, OR 97362.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and local government
representatives are asked to notify their constituents of this planned
project and 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 retirement of pipeline
facilities or the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and
maintain the proposed pipeline facilities. The company would seek to
negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if the project is
approved by the Commission, that approval conveys with it the right of
eminent domain. Therefore, if easement negotiations fail to produce an
agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation proceedings
where compensation would be determined 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?'' was attached to the
project notice Northwest provided to landowners. This fact sheet
addresses a number of typically-asked questions, including the use of
eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings.
It is also available for viewing on the FERC Web site (http://www.ferc.gov).

Summary of the Proposed Project

    Northwest proposes to construct, modify, and operate below and
aboveground facilities along its existing 2436 Camas/Eugene pipeline.
According to Northwest, the Molalla Capacity Replacement Project would
replace the capacity of an approximately 15-mile-long pipeline segment
that is proposed for retirement with approximately 7.8 miles of new
pipeline.
    The Molalla Capacity Replacement Project would consist of the
following activities:

     Abandon in-place approximately 15 miles of 16-inch-
diameter pipeline;
     Relocate an existing pig \1\ receiver from MP 41.02 to MP
48.04 and remove aboveground facilities, including a pig launcher,
piping, and valves, to accommodate pipeline retirement;
     Install approximately 7.8 miles of new 20-inch diameter
pipeline loop;\1\ and
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A ``pig'' is a tool that is inserted into and moves through
the pipeline, and is used for cleaning the pipeline, internal
inspections, or other purposes. A pipeline loop is constructed
parallel to an existing pipeline to increase capacity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Install new taps, block valves, and crossovers along new
pipeline loop.
    The general location of the project facilities is shown in Appendix
1.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The appendices referenced in this notice are not being
printed in the Federal Register. Copies of appendices were sent to
all those receiving this notice in the mail and are available at
http://www.ferc.gov using the link called ``eLibrary'' 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 last page of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Land Requirements for Construction

    The project would require approximately 117 acres of land for the
modification, removal, retirement, and/or installation of aboveground
facilities and the pipeline. Following construction, about 20.6 acres
would be maintained for permanent operation of the project's below and
aboveground facilities; the remaining acreage would be restored and
allowed to revert to former uses. About 78 percent of the proposed loop
pipeline route parallels existing pipeline, utility, or road rights-of-
way.

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could
result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us
\3\ 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, the Commission requests 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    In the EA we 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 resources;
     Water resources, fisheries, and wetlands;
     Cultural resources;
     Vegetation and wildlife;
     Air quality and noise;
     Endangered and threatened species;
     Public safety; and
     Cumulative impacts
    We will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the proposed
project or portions of the project, 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.
The EA will be placed in the public record and, depending on the
comments received during the scoping process, may be published and
distributed to the public. A comment period will be allotted if the EA
is published for review. We will consider all comments on the EA before
we make our recommendations to the Commission. To ensure your comments
are considered, please carefully follow the instructions in the Public
Participation section beginning on page 5.
    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction and/or
special expertise with respect to environmental issues to formally
cooperate with us in the preparation of the EA. These agencies may
choose to participate once they have evaluated the proposal relative to
their responsibilities. Agencies that would like to request cooperating
agency status should follow the instructions for filing comments
provided under the Public Participation section of this notice.
Currently, no agencies have expressed their intention to participate as
a cooperating agency in the preparation of the EA to satisfy their NEPA
responsibilities related to this project.

Consultations Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act

    In accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
implementing regulations for section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, we are using this notice to initiate consultation
with applicable State Historic Preservation Office, and to solicit
their views and those of other government agencies, interested Indian
tribes, and the public on the project's potential effects on historic
properties.\4\ We will define the project-specific Area of Potential
Effects (APE) in consultation with the SHPO as the project is further
developed. On natural gas facility projects, the APE at a minimum
encompasses all areas subject to ground disturbance (examples include
construction right-of-way, contractor/pipe storage yards, compressor
stations, and access roads). Our EA for this project will document our
findings on the impacts on historic properties and summarize the status
of consultations under section 106.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's regulations
are at Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 800. Historic
properties are defined in those regulations as any prehistoric or
historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in
or eligible for inclusion in the National Register for Historic
Places.

Currently Identified Environmental Issues

    We have already identified several issues that we think deserve
attention based on a preliminary review of the proposed facilities and
the environmental information provided by Northwest. This preliminary
list of issues may be changed based on your comments and our analysis.
     Agricultural land uses including hops, filberts, and other
specialty crops;
     Residential structures;
     Construction noise;
     Waterbody and wetland crossings; and
     Federally-listed threatened and endangered species and
their habitats.

Public Participation

    You can make a difference by providing us with your specific
comments or concerns about the project. 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 your
comments are timely and properly recorded, please send your comments so
that they will be received in Washington, DC on or before March 18,
2011.
    For your convenience, there are three methods which you can use to

Environmental Mailing List

    The environmental mailing list includes federal, state, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American Tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. This list also
includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission's
regulations) who are potential right-of-way grantors, whose property
may be used temporarily for project purposes, or who own homes within
certain distances of aboveground facilities, and anyone who submits
comments on the project. We will update the environmental mailing list
as the analysis proceeds to ensure that we send the information related
to this environmental review to all individuals, organizations, and
government entities interested in and/or potentially affected by the
proposed project.
    If the EA is published for distribution, copies will be sent to the
environmental mailing list for public review and comment. If you would
prefer to receive a paper copy of the document instead of the CD
version or would like to remove your name from the mailing list, please
return the attached Information Request (Appendix 2).

Becoming an Intervenor

    In addition to involvement in the EA scoping process, you may want
to become an ``intervenor'' which is an official party to the
Commission's proceeding. Intervenors play a more formal role in the
process and are able to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be heard
by the courts if they choose to appeal the Commission's final ruling.
An intervenor formally participates in the proceeding by filing a
request to intervene. Instructions for becoming an intervenor are
included in the User's Guide under the ``e-filing'' link on the
Commission's Web site.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2017-0280; FRL-9969-88-Region 5]

Air Plan Approval; Wisconsin; 2017 Revisions to NR 400 and 406

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve a revision to the Wisconsin State Implementation Plan (SIP)
submitted by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) to
EPA on May 16, 2017. The revision replaces the definition of
``emergency electric generator'' with a broader definition of
``restricted internal combustion engine''. In addition, the revision
makes amendments to procedures for revoking construction permits as
well as language changes and other administrative updates. Lastly, WDNR
is withdrawing two Wisconsin Administrative Code provisions that affect
eligibility under general and construction permits. WDNR requested
these changes to align state and Federal requirements and ensure
consistency. EPA is proposing approval of Wisconsin's May 16, 2017,
request because the Agency has made the preliminary determination that
this SIP revision is consistent with the Clean Air Act and applicable
EPA regulations regarding PSD.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before December 7, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R05-
OAR-2017-0280 at http://www.regulations.gov or via email to
[email protected]. For comments submitted at Regulations.gov,
follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted,
comments cannot be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. For either
manner of submission, EPA may publish any comment received to its
public docket. Do not submit electronically any information you
consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia
submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written
comment. The written comment is considered the official comment and
should include a discussion of all points you wish to make. EPA will
generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of
the primary submission (i.e., on the Web, cloud, or other file sharing
system). For additional submission methods, please contact the person
identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. For the full
EPA public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia
submissions, and general guidance on making effective comments, please
visit http://www2.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Radhica Kanniganti, Environmental
Engineer, Air Permits Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J),
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard,
Chicago, Illinois 60604,<PHONE_NUMBER>, [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this rule,
this rule will be effective on January 8, 2018. If EPA receives adverse
comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public
comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on
this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any
parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this
time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. For
additional information, see the direct final rule which is located in
the Rules section of this Federal Register.
