Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. (Type Certificate
Previously Held by Yabor[atilde] Ind[uacute]stria Aeron[aacute]utica
S.A.) Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190-100 ECJ airplanes. This proposed
AD was prompted by a determination that new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations are necessary and that some life limits on
some components used on the main landing gear (MLG) may not be properly
controlled, due to interchanging those parts between airplane models
with different operational loads during repair or overhaul. This
proposed AD would require revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations; reviewing maintenance records of
the MLG assemblies to determine if any life-limited item has been
replaced and reporting those findings; and re-identifying the MLG
assemblies and certain components; as specified in an Ag[ecirc]ncia
Nacional de Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil (ANAC) AD, which is proposed
for incorporation by reference. This proposed AD would also prohibit
installing certain part numbers. The FAA is proposing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 23,
2022.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Background

    The ANAC, which is the aviation authority for Brazil, has issued
ANAC AD 2021-08-01, effective August 31, 2021 (ANAC AD 2021-08-01)
(also referred to as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition for
certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190-100 ECJ airplanes.

    This proposed AD was prompted by a determination that new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary and that some life
limits on some structural parts (components) used on the MLG may not be
properly controlled, due to interchanging those parts between airplane
models with different operational loads. Structural parts and life
limited items used in commercial versions of Models ERJ 190-100 and ERJ
190-200 airplanes are common to the ones used on Model ERJ 190-100 ECJ
(Lineage 1000) airplanes. Although the MLG assemblies are not
interchangeable between models, some components (e.g. pins and bolts)
of the MLG assemblies can be exchanged between models; this exchange
may have happened during repair or overhaul of an MLG assembly. While
these models have similar designs, their usage is very different. Life
limits for airplane parts are based on fatigue tests, which simulate
typical usage for the airplane. These fatigue tests are based on the
entire MLG assembly remaining the same, not on components of the MLG
assembly being interchanged partway through the test. Since the
operational loads are different for each airplane model, an adequate
life limit may not be properly controlled in this scenario. Therefore,
ANAC has determined that the MLG assemblies that cannot be interchanged
must be re-identified for use only on Model ERJ 190-100 ECJ airplanes,
and the components that may have been interchanged must also be re-
identified and tracked. Embraer S.A. and ANAC will use the reports
required by this proposed AD to analyze the data and determine if the
life limits for the MLG assemblies or their components need to be
revised based on components being interchanged between models. The FAA
is proposing this AD to address potentially inadequate life limits on
the MLG due to different operational loads, which could impact the
structural integrity of the airplane. See the MCAI for additional
background information.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    ANAC AD 2021-08-01 specifies new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations for airplane structures and safe life limits; reviewing
maintenance records of the MLG side stay assembly and the MLG shock
strut assembly to determine if any life-limited item has been replaced
and reporting those findings; and reidentifying certain part numbers of
the MLG side stay assembly and the MLG shock strut assembly and their
components. ANAC AD 2021-08-01 also specifies prohibiting the
installation of certain part numbers. This material is reasonably
available because the interested parties have access to it through
their normal course of business or by the means identified in the
ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
the FAA's bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that
the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop
in other products of the same type designs.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations; reviewing maintenance records of
the MLG side stay assembly and the MLG shock strut assembly to
determine if any life-limited item has been replaced and reporting
those findings; and re-identifying the MLG side stay assembly and the
MLG shock strut assembly and certain components; which are specified in
ANAC AD 2021-08-01 described previously, except for any differences
identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD.
This proposed AD would also prohibit installing certain part numbers.
    This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections).
Compliance with these actions is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For
airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in
the areas addressed by this proposed AD, the operator may not be able
to accomplish the actions described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request
approval for an alternative method of compliance according to paragraph
(j)(1) of this proposed AD.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been
coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the
FAA proposes to incorporate ANAC AD 2021-08-01 by reference in the FAA
final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with
ANAC AD 2021-08-01 in its entirety through that incorporation, except
for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of
this proposed AD. Service information required by ANAC AD 2021-08-01
for compliance will be available at https://www.regulations.gov by
searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2022-0399 after the FAA final
rule is published.

Airworthiness Limitation ADs Using the New Process

    The FAA's process of incorporating by reference MCAI ADs as the
primary source of information for compliance with corresponding FAA ADs
has been limited to certain MCAI ADs (primarily those with service
bulletins as the primary source of information for accomplishing the
actions required by the FAA AD). However, the FAA is now expanding the
process to include MCAI ADs that require a change to airworthiness
limitation documents, such as airworthiness limitation sections.
    For these ADs that incorporate by reference an MCAI AD that changes
airworthiness limitations, the FAA requirements are unchanged.
Operators must revise the existing maintenance or inspection program,
as applicable, to incorporate the information specified in the new
airworthiness limitation document. The airworthiness limitations must
be followed according to 14 CFR 91.403(c) and 91.409(e).
    The previous format of the airworthiness limitation ADs included a
paragraph that specified that no alternative actions (e.g.,
inspections) or intervals may be used unless the actions and intervals
are approved as an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) in
accordance with the procedures specified in the AMOCs paragraph under
``Additional FAA Provisions.'' This new format includes a ``New
Provisions for Alternative Actions and Intervals'' paragraph that does
not specifically refer to AMOCs, but operators may still request an
AMOC to use an alternative action or interval.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers this proposed AD interim action. The inspection
reports required by this proposed AD will enable the manufacturer to
gain better insight into the extent to which components have been
interchanged between models and determine if

additional actions are required to address the identified unsafe
condition. Based on the result of the manufacturer's analyses, the FAA
might consider further rulemaking.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD would affect 10 airplanes
of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with
this proposed AD:
    The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator,
although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator
to operator. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection
program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined
that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane
estimate. Therefore, the agency estimates the average total cost per
operator to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

                                     Estimated Costs for Required Actions *
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 work-hours x $85 per hour = $510...........................              $0             $510           $5,100
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Table does not include estimated costs for reporting and revising the existing maintenance or inspection
  program.

    The FAA estimates that it would take about 1 work-hour per product
to comply with the proposed reporting requirement in this proposed AD.
The average labor rate is $85 per hour. Based on these figures, the FAA
estimates the cost of reporting on U.S. operators to be $850, or $85
per product.
    According to the manufacturer, some or all of the costs of this
proposed AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost
impact on affected individuals. The FAA does not control warranty
coverage for affected individuals. As a result, the FAA has included
all known costs in the cost estimate.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    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 take
approximately 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing
instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the
collection of information. All responses to this collection of
information are mandatory. Send comments regarding this burden estimate
or any other aspect of this collection of information, including
suggestions for reducing this burden, to: Information Collection
Clearance Officer, Federal Aviation Administration, 10101 Hillwood
Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177-1524.

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.
    The FAA is 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

    The FAA has 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) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket No. FRA-2010-005-N-5]

Resolicitation of Applications for the Railroad Safety Technology
Program Grant Program (RS-TEC-10-001)

AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of Funds Availability, Resolicitation of Applications
(RS-TEC-10-001).

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

SUMMARY: Due to a significant number of technical errors in applicant
grant proposal submissions for the Railroad Safety Technology Grant
Program

(Funding Opportunity RS-TEC-10-001), the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) has elected to reopen the application period.
    Applicants who previously submitted a proposal for funding under
this program and those who do not want to make changes to their
submission do not need to do anything. Their original application will
be reviewed as is.
    Applicants wanting to make any changes to their application must
reapply and submit a new, complete application package with all
required documentation. The new application package will be reviewed
and the previous application from the July 1, 2010, deadline will be
ignored. It is therefore essential that applicants submit all required
documentation as if they were a new applicant. Those seeking to modify
their application must resubmit their proposals through Grants.gov
(http://www.grants.gov/) before 23:59 (11:59 p.m.) Eastern Daylight
Time September 3, 2010. Applications after this date and time will not
be considered. Applications submitted directly to GrantSolutions or via
e-mail, fax, or any other method other than Grants.gov, will not be
considered.
    The Railroad Safety Technology Program (RSTP) is a newly authorized
program under the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (RSIA) (Pub. L.
110-432; October 16, 2008). The program authorizes DOT to provide

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ The Commission notes that the rule text submitted by the
Exchange contained minor, technical errors. Exchange staff has
committed to address these errors following publication of this
notice. In addition, certain technical corrections and
clarifications were made throughout the discussion of the proposed

Counsel, and Kate Robbins, Attorney, Division of Market Regulation,
Commission, on October 2, 2006.
    \4\ In Amendment No. 1, the Exchange made technical and
clarifying changes to the rule text and purpose section.
    \5\ In Amendment No. 2, which replaced the original filing in
its entirety and incorporated Amendment No. 1, the Exchange proposed
additional changes to NYSE Rule 116 regarding a specialist's ability
to stop stock in the NYSE's Hybrid Market.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    In the proposed rule change, the Exchange seeks to amend NYSE Rule
116 (``Stop'' Constitutes Guarantee) and NYSE Rule 123B (Exchange
Automated Order Routing Systems) regarding a specialist's ability to
``stop'' stock and report such a transaction. The text of the proposed
rule change is available on the NYSE's Web site (http://www.nyse.com), at the

NYSE's Office of the Secretary, and at the Commission's Public
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 NYSE 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
    The practice of stopping stock by specialists on the Exchange
refers to a guarantee by the specialist that an order he or she
receives will be executed at no worse a price than the contra side
price in the market at the time the order was stopped, with the
understanding that the order may in fact receive a better price. For
example, the Exchange market in a stock is quoted at 20.00 bid, offered
at 20.10, and the specialist receives a market order to buy. If the
specialist ``stops'' the buy order, the specialist is guaranteeing that
the order will receive no worse a price than 20.10, the then-prevailing
offer price. The specialist would then make a bid on behalf of the
market order to buy at a price above the prevailing bid, for example,
at 20.05. If a sell order trades with this bid, the stopped order has
received price improvement (as has the sell order trading with it). If,
however, another buy order enters the market and executes at the offer
price of 20.10, the stopped buy order will be executed at that same
price pursuant to the specialist's guarantee as evidenced by the
``stop.''
    The current Hybrid MarketSM is the result of a series of
initiatives, approved by the Commission, to implement changes to the
operation of the Exchange's market to expand access to automated
trading while preserving the advantages of the agency auction
market.\6\ Customers and other market participants will have greater
opportunities for speed and certainty of execution through the enhanced
electronic trading. Opportunities for price improvement will continue
to be available.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See The Hybrid Market initiative proposed in SR-NYSE-2004-05
and Amendments Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 thereto approved on March
22, 2006. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 53539 (March 22,

2006) (SR-NYSE-2006-33).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NYSE Rule 116 generally provides for the ability of a member to
stop stock. Paragraph .30 in the Rule's Supplementary Material provides
three circumstances in which a specialist may stop stock, including at
the opening or reopening of trading in a stock, when a broker in the
trading crowd is representing another order at the stop price or when
requested to by another member. In the latter circumstance, the
provisions of NYSE Rule 116.30 require that the quotation spread be not
less than twice the minimum variation (currently one cent), or, if the
quotation spread is the minimum variation, that the quote conditions
(i.e., an imbalance in the amount of shares bid for or offered) suggest
the likelihood of price improvement, and that the order be under 2,000
shares. The rule further provides a limitation of a total of 5,000
shares for all stopped orders. A specialist may seek approval of a
Floor Official to override these conditions. In

addition, a specialist must take specific actions to reduce the spread
in the quotation after the stop is granted, may not reduce the size of
the market following the stop and must execute orders on the book
entitled to priority against the stopped stock.
    The Exchange generally believes that the practice of specialists
stopping stock makes less sense in a hybrid market. This is primarily
due to the dynamics of increased speed of trading and more effective
functioning of the market through initiatives such as sweeps,\7\ the
discretionary e-QuotesSM \8\ and the ability of Exchange
specialists to provide electronic price improvement.\9\ Given the
availability of these other avenues for price improvement, the Exchange
believes that the procedures in NYSE Rule 116.30(3) for granting stops
are a less attractive and efficient mechanism to seek price improvement
in faster markets due to the time required to perform the procedures.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The ``sweep'' functionality will allow orders to
automatically execute against contra side interest in the Display
Book[supreg] System at and outside the Exchange best bid or offer
until the order is filled.
    \8\ See Exchange Rule 70.25.
    \9\ See Exchange Rules 104(b)(i)(H) and 104(e). These rules were
approved as part of the Hybrid Market initiative, see Hybrid Market
Release, supra note 6, and became operative on October 6, 2006.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange further believes that in manually stopping stock there
is a substantial risk that a stopped order would ``miss the market''
given the speed of automatic executions and the ``sweep''
functionality.
    As a result, the Exchange seeks to remove the provisions in NYSE
Rule 116.30 that permit stopping stock by a specialist in all
situations. As explained above, the provisions for stopping stock in
situations related to the quote spread and the procedures associated
with these are not, in the Exchange's view, useful going forward in our
Hybrid MarketSM. Additionally, the Exchange no longer
systemically supports a specialist's stopping stock in any
situation,\10\ which requires a specialist to execute stopped stock
transactions manually. The Exchange believes these manual transactions
are not conducive to efficient trading in our Hybrid
MarketSM. As such, the Exchange seeks to amend NYSE Rule
116.30 to eliminate a specialist's ability to stop stock.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ As of December 13, 2005 the Exchange eliminated the
systemic support for the reporting of executions of stopped orders.
The Exchange continues to require manual reporting. See Member
Education Bulletin 2005-25 (December 13, 2005) from the NYSE's
Division of Market Surveillance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange further seeks to amend subsection (b)(3) of NYSE Rule
123B (Exchange Automated Order Routing Systems) to remove references to
the systemic reporting of executions of stopped orders now that
Exchange systems no longer execute that function.
2. Statutory Basis
    The basis under the Act \11\ for this proposed rule change is the
requirement under Section 6(b)(5) \12\ that an Exchange have rules that
are 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on
the proposed rule change.

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

    Within 35 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the NYSE consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve such proposed rule change, or
    (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

change, as amended, is consistent with the Act. Comments may be

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP17-458-000]

Midship Pipeline Company, LLC; Notice of Availability of the
Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Midcontinent
Supply Header Interstate Pipeline Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a final environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the Midcontinent Supply Header Interstate Pipeline Project,
proposed by Midship Pipeline Company, LLC (Midship Pipeline) in the
above-referenced docket. Midship Pipeline requests authorization to
construct and operate approximately 234.1 miles of new pipeline, three
compressor stations, a booster station, and accompanying facilities in
Oklahoma. The project would deliver an additional 1,440 million
standard cubic feet per day of year-round firm transportation capacity
from Kingfisher County, Oklahoma to existing natural gas pipelines near
Bennington, Oklahoma for transport to growing Gulf Coast and Southeast
Markets.
    The final EIS assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the project in accordance with the
requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The FERC
staff concludes that approval of the project would result in some
adverse environmental impacts; however, these impacts would be reduced
to less-than-significant levels with the implementation of Midship
Pipeline's proposed mitigation and the additional measures recommended
in the final EIS.
    The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency participated as a
cooperating agency in the preparation of the EIS. Cooperating agencies
have jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to resources
potentially affected by the proposal and participate in the NEPA
analysis. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency provided input to
the conclusions and recommendations presented in the final EIS.
    The final EIS addresses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the following proposed project facilities
in Oklahoma:
     199.7 miles of new 36-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline
in Kingfisher, Canadian, Grady, Garvin, Stephens, Carter, Johnston, and
Bryan Counties;
     20.5 miles of new 30-inch-diameter pipeline lateral in
Kingfisher County;
     13.8 miles of new 16-inch-diameter pipeline lateral in
Stephens, Carter, and Garvin Counties;
     0.1 mile of new 24-inch-diameter tie-in piping in Canadian
County;
     three new compressor stations and one new booster station
in Canadian, Garvin, Bryan, and Stephens Counties; and
     eight new receipt meters, two new receipt taps, four new
delivery meters, and appurtenant facilities.
    The FERC staff mailed copies of the EIS 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; and newspapers and libraries in the project area. Paper copy
versions of Volume I of the EIS were mailed to those specifically
requesting them; all recipients received a CD version containing both
Volumes I and II of the EIS. In addition, the EIS is available for
public viewing on the FERC's website (www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary
link. A limited number of copies are available for distribution and
public inspection at: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Public
Reference Room, 888 First Street NE, Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426,
(202) 502-8371.

36-inch diameter pipe on Line No. 25 with new pipe to accommodate a DOT
pipeline class change to Class 3 from Class 1 due to encroachment of
new structures in the area of the applicable sections of pipeline. The
project will allow Texas Eastern to continue the safe operation of its
system and to comply with DOT pipeline class requirements.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 60 days after
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Section 157.205 of
the regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.205), a protest to the
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefore, the
proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day
after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed and
not withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed time for filing a
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for
authorization pursuant to section 7 of the NGA.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenter will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of

environmental documents issued by the Commission) and will not have the
right to seek court review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 5 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington,
DC 20426.
