a person is not required to respond to a collection of information by a
Federal agency unless the collection displays a valid OMB control
number. In compliance with these requirements, this notice announces
that the following information collection request will be submitted to
OMB.
    A Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting
public comments on the following information collection was published
on January 26, 2022.
    Title: Investigation-Based Crash Data Studies.
    OMB Control Number: 2127-0706.
    Form Number: Form 1278 and 1280.
    Type of Request: Request for extension with modification of a
currently approved information collection.
    Type of Review Requested: Regular.
    Length of Approval Requested: Three years from date of approval.
    Summary of the Collection of Information: NHTSA is authorized,
under 49 U.S.C. 30182 and 23 U.S.C. 403 to collect data on motor
vehicle traffic crashes to aid in the identification of issues and the
development, implementation, and evaluation of motor vehicle and
highway safety countermeasures. For decades, NHTSA has been
investigating crashes and collecting crash data through its
Investigation-Based Crash Data Studies, namely the Crash Investigation
Sampling System (CISS), Special Crash Investigation (SCI), and specific
issue-based Special Study data collection studies. Although each of
these systems satisfy different purposes and collect data in different
manners, they all utilize the same core variables (e.g. forms),
procedures and protocols for data collection.
    On November 15, 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
(Pub. L. 117-58), also referred to as the Bipartisan infrastructure Law
(BIL), was signed into law. The Crash Data section (section 24108) of
the BIL authorizes the Secretary of Transportation (NHTSA by
delegation) to use funds to enhance the collection of data under CISSS
by, among other things, including additional data collection sites.
    NHTSA is seeking approval to modify the existing information
collection to: (a) Increase the number of crashes investigated by the
crash technicians for 2021 and future years, (b) add Special Study
cases into this package, and (c) add Special Crash Investigation cases
into this package. NHTSA has also adjusted estimates to include the
burden incurred by tow yards, hospitals, and law enforcement agencies
in responding to the collections. The combined impact is an increase of
6,458 burden hours to NHTSA's overall total.
    The CISS is a nationally representative sample of passenger vehicle
crashes which focus on detailed investigation of passenger vehicle
crashes. It provides nationally representative data on fatal and
nonfatal motor vehicle crashes for use in developing and evaluating
federal motor vehicle safety standards and other safety
countermeasures. The CISS began implementation in 2015 and by 2018 was
collecting crash data from thirty-two (32) fully operational sites. As
a result of the BIL, the CISS data collection sites will be expanded
from 32 to 56 sites. The CISS collects data at both the crash level
through scene analysis and vehicle level through vehicle damage
assessment together with injury source evidence and standardized
coding.
    The SCI Program is used to provide NHTSA with the most in-depth and
detailed level of crash investigation data collected by the Agency.
Generally, SCI investigations are conducted for crashes of special
interest, such as those involving new or emerging safety technologies
(e.g., those involving vehicles equipped with crash avoidance
technologies or Automated Driving Systems (ADS)), school buses,
motorcoaches, alternative fuel and hybrid vehicles, adaptive control
equipped vehicles, fires, child restraints, and those relevant to
safety defect investigations. The crash investigations are conducted to
document crash circumstances, identify injury sources, evaluate safety
countermeasure effectiveness and support Agency rulemaking actions.
Investigations are also conducted to provide early detection of alleged
or potential vehicle safety defects. Reports are generated from
investigations and all are made available to the public. The crashes
chosen for SCI investigation may be chosen throughout the year as they
arise or be part of a planned effort to look into a particular type of
crash (such as crashes involving air bag deployment-related fatalities
and injuries).
    In addition to the above-referenced CISS and SCI data collections,
NHTSA also conducts investigation-based special studies using the CISS
and SCI infrastructure to answer questions on a specific topical aspect
of vehicle and highway safety. In the special study cases, data is
typically gathered remotely where documents and investigation details
are requested from investigating agencies and the data is compiled,
coded, and reported on collectively in a summary report detailing the
issue. These special studies will utilize the same infrastructure CISS
and SCI, as well as the same core variables (e.g., forms) and
procedures and protocols. The cases may be selected from an agency's
data set (i.e., CISS, SCI, or Fatality Analysis Reporting System
(FARS)) or through other means (i.e., internet searches, news articles,
and public notification). The cases may or may not be selected to
provide a nationally-representative sample of crashes. In the past,
using the National Automotive Sampling System-Crashworthiness Data
System (NASS-CDS) infrastructure, NHTSA conducted several
investigation-based special studies, including studies on child
occupant protection, air bag effectiveness, and pedestrian safety among
others. NASS-CDS, operated from 1979 through 2015, and was the
predecessor to CISS. Three currently planned special studies will
collect information on crashes that involve medium-duty trucks (trucks
between 10,001 and 26,000 lbs.), pedestrians or pedalcyclists, and
first responders or construction or maintenance workers struck while
performing official duties on the road.
    NHTSA will also use the information collected through the CISS
infrastructure to support NHTSA's Non-Traffic Surveillance (NTS). CISS
Technicians review over a hundred and fifty thousand crash reports each
year, and some of these reports are not applicable to the CISS program,
but they may be applicable to the NTS data collection. NTS is a virtual
data collection system designed to provide

counts and details regarding fatalities and injuries that occur in non-
traffic crashes and in non-crash incidents. Non-traffic motor vehicle
crashes are a class of crashes that occur off the public trafficways.
These crashes, subsequently referred to as ``non-traffic crashes,'' are
mostly single-vehicle crashes on private roads, two vehicle crashes in
parking facilities, or collisions with pedestrians in driveways. In
addition, there are non-traffic incidents such as a vehicle falling on
a person underneath or an unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning
inside the vehicle. Non-traffic crash data is obtained through NHTSA's
CISS, SCI, Crash Reporting Sampling System (CRSS), and FARS.
    For the standard investigation-based crash data studies acquisition
process, once a crash has been selected for investigation, crash
technicians locate, visit, measure, and photograph the crash scene;
locate, visit, inspect, and photograph involved vehicle(s); conduct a
telephone or personal interview with the involved individuals or a
surrogate (another person who can provide occupant or crash
information, such as parents for a minor or parent or spouse for a
deceased individual); and obtain and record crash injury information
received from various medical data sources. These data are used to
describe and analyze circumstances, mechanisms, and consequences of a
cross section of towed, light passenger motor vehicle crashes in the
United States. The collection of interview data aids in this effort.
    For the special studies, the data is typically gathered following
similar procedures, but is targeted to a specific issue (e.g., child
occupant protection, crash causation factors) as opposed to an entire
investigation. Special Studies investigations also typically only
involve obtaining information from law enforcement, who provide access
to and a copy of the crash report where the data is not electronic.
They do not involve interviewing people involved in crashes, obtaining
medical records or inspecting the vehicles. Each special study has
specific requirements (i.e., types of crashes and/or data collected);
however, the gathering of crash reports for these studies is similar to
the gathering of crash reports in the CISS and SCI programs.
    Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use of the
Information: NHTSA investigates real-world crashes and collects
detailed crash data through CISS, SCI, and Special Studies data
collection programs to identify the primary factors related to the
source of crashes and their injury outcomes. These detailed factors are
utilized to develop and evaluate effective safety countermeasures
including the establishment and enforcement of motor vehicle
regulations that reduce the severity of injury and property damage
caused by motor vehicle crashes. The data collected also give motor
vehicle researchers an opportunity to specify areas in which
improvements may be possible, design countermeasure programs, and
evaluate the effects of existing and proposed safety measures.
    60-Day Notice: NHTSA published a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register on January 26, 2022 (87 FR 4099). NHTSA received no comments.
However, NHTSA is revising burden estimates as a result of additional
funding for CISS data collection. In the 60-day notice, NHTSA estimated
that there would be 32 data collection sites in each of the next three
years. As a result of the additional funding provided by the BIL, NHTSA
now plans to phase in 24 additional data collection sites in CISS over
the next 3 years. This 30 day notice increases the burden hours for
interviewees, Police, Tow Yards and Medical Facilities for an
additional 24 data collection sites. The total data collection sites
will incrementally increase from 32 to 56 over the next three years.
The increase in burden hours and cost for these additional data
collection sites are reflected in the Burden to Respondent section of
this document.
    Burden to Respondents: NHTSA has provided a description of the
affected public, estimated number of respondents, description of
frequency, and estimates of the total burden hours and costs for each
of the three Investigation-Based Crash Data Acquisition Systems (CISS,
SCI, and Special Studies) below. In aggregate, NHTSA estimates that the
total annual burden is 12,063 hours and $0.
    Program: CISS.
    Affected Public: People involved in select motor vehicle crashes,
law enforcement jurisdictions that provide access to and a copy of the
crash report where the data is not electronic; hospitals that provide a
copy of the injured occupant's medical treatment of injuries; and tow
or salvage lot facilities that provide access to the storage facility
to inspect the vehicle.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 24,186.
    Frequency: On Occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 11,787 hours (6,956 + 822 +
298 + 2,783 + 928).
    The CISS crash data acquisition system includes 5 information
collections. The first information collection covers the collection of
information from individuals involved in crashes via interview. The
estimated number of interview respondents is obtained by multiplying
the approximate number of crashes investigated each year by the average
number of interviews per crash. Based on existing data, each CISS crash
involves an average of approximately 2.25 individuals. NHTSA estimates
that CISS conducts investigations on 9,275 crashes per year. Therefore,
NHTSA estimates that there will be 20,869 respondents per year (9,275
crashes x 2.25 respondents per crash).
    The respondents are contacted only once; however, in rare
circumstances follow-up questions may be needed to clarify data. The
interview requires approximately 20 minutes of a respondent's time on
average. CISS conducts interviews for approximately 9,275 crashes per
year, which NHTSA estimates takes about 45 minutes per crash (2.25
respondents x 20 minutes). Therefore, the estimated total annual burden
hours for the collection of information from individuals involved in
crashes for CISS is 6,956 hours ((9,275 crashes x 45 minutes) / 60
minutes/hour).
    In addition to interviews, crash technicians and investigators must
obtain official records to initiate and complete the cases. These
records include police crash reports and medical records. The second
information collection under CISS is for the collection of crash
records from sampled police jurisdictions. NHTSA estimates that there
are 316 sample police jurisdictions annually. To estimate the burden to
sampled police jurisdictions, NHTSA multiplied the average number of
visits per year by the average burden per visit and the number of
police jurisdictions. On average, each of the 316 sampled police
jurisdictions are queried weekly (or 52 times per year) and each query
is estimated to take 3 minutes. Accordingly, NHTSA estimates the total
annual burden for sampled police jurisdictions to be 2.6 hours per
respondent (3 minutes x 52 visits) and 822 hours for all respondents
(2.6 hours x 316 police jurisdictions = 821.6 hours).
    The third information collection under CISS is for the collection
of crash records from non-sampled police jurisdictions. Based on
existing CISS data, there are 340 non-sampled jurisdictions annually.
To estimate the burden to non-sample police jurisdictions, NHTSA
multiplied the average number of visits per year by the average burden
per visit and the number of non-sampled police jurisdictions. On

average, each of the 595 non-sampled police jurisdictions are visited
twice annually and each query is estimated to take 15 minutes.
Accordingly, NHTSA estimates the total burden for non-sampled police
jurisdictions to be 30 minutes per respondent (15 minutes x 2 visits)
and 289 hours for all respondents ((30 minutes x 595 non-sampled police
jurisdictions) / 60 minutes/hour) = 298 hours).
    The fourth information collection under CISS is for the collection
of medical records from hospitals. Based on existing data, CISS
collects an average of 16,695 records each year from an average of 481
hospitals. NHTSA estimates that a hospital spends 10 minutes for each
record requested. Accordingly, NHTSA estimates the total annual burden
to be 2,783 hours ((16,695 records x 10 minutes) / 60 minutes/hour) and
estimates that each hospital will, on average, spend 5.78 hours
providing the requested information each year (2,783 hours / 481
hospitals).
    The fifth information collection under CISS is for the collection
from tow yards necessary to gain access to and locate a vehicle that
was involved in a crash. Typically, a tow facility operator just needs
to give the crash technician permission to enter the yard to inspect
the vehicle and involves approximately 5 minutes of staff time. CISS
data shows an average of 11,130 visits to tow facilities per year, and
NHTSA estimates 1,926 tow facilities will be visited annually.
Accordingly, NHTSA estimates the total annual burden to be 928 hours
((11,130 visits x 5 minutes) / 60 minutes/hour) and estimates that each
tow facility will, on average, spend 28.90 minutes providing the
requested information each year ((928 hours x 60 minutes) / 1,926
facilities).
    Accordingly, NHTSA estimates that the total burden associated with
the CISS data acquisition system is 11,787 hours (6,956 + 822 + 298 +
2,783 + 928).
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: $0.
    There are no capital, start-up, or annual operation and maintenance
costs involved in this collection of information. The respondents would
not incur any reporting costs from the information collection beyond
the opportunity or labor costs associated with the burden hours. The
respondents also would not incur any recordkeeping burden or
recordkeeping costs from the information collection.

Program: Special Crash Investigation (SCI)

    Affected Public: People involved in select motor vehicle crashes,
law enforcement jurisdictions that provide access to and a copy of the
crash report where the data is not electronic; hospitals that provide a
copy of the injured occupant's medical treatment of injuries; and tow
or salvage lot facilities that provide access to the storage facility
to inspect the vehicle.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 500.
    Frequency: On occasion (typically once per year).
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 109 hours (67 + 17 + 17 + 8).
    The SCI crash data acquisition system includes 4 information
collections. The first information collection covers the collection of
information from individuals involved in crashes via interview. The
estimated number of interview respondents is obtained by multiplying
the approximate number of crashes investigated each year by the average
number of interviews per crash. Based on existing data, each SCI crash
involves an average of approximately 2 individuals. NHTSA estimates
that SCI conducts investigations on approximately 100 crashes per year.
Therefore, NHTSA estimates that there will be 200 respondents per year
(100 crashes x 2 respondents per crash).
    The respondents are contacted only once; however, in rare
circumstances follow-up questions may be needed to clarify data. The
interview requires approximately 20 minutes of a respondent's time on
average. SCI conducts interviews for approximately 100 crashes per
year, which NHTSA estimates takes about 40 minutes per crash (2
respondents x 20 minutes). Therefore, the estimated total annual burden
hours for the collection of information from individuals involved in
crashes for SCI is approximately 67 hours ((100 crashes x 40 minutes) /
60 minutes/hour = 66.67).
    In addition to interviews, crash technicians and investigators must
obtain official records to initiate and complete the cases. These
records include police crash reports and medical records. The second
information collection under SCI is for the collection of crash records
from police jurisdictions. The SCI investigators contact an estimated
100 police jurisdictions once per year and require approximately 10
minutes of staff time per police jurisdiction. To estimate the burden
to these police jurisdictions, NHTSA multiplied the average number of
visits per year by the average burden per visit and the number of
police jurisdictions. Accordingly, NHTSA estimates the total annual
burden for police jurisdictions to be 10 minutes per respondent (10
minutes x 1 query per year) and 17 hours for all respondents ((10
minutes x 100 police jurisdictions) / 60 minutes/hour = 16.67 hours).
    The third information collection under SCI is for the collection of
medical records from hospitals. Based on existing data, SCI collects an
average of 100 records each year from 100 hospitals (1 request per
hospital per year). NHTSA estimates that a hospital spends 10 minutes
for each record requested. Accordingly, NHTSA estimates the total
annual burden to be 17 hours ((100 records x 10 minutes) / 60 minutes/
hour = 16.67 hours) and estimates that each hospital will, on average,
spend 10 minutes providing the requested information each year (10
minutes x 1 record request per year).
    The fourth information collection under SCI is for the collection
from tow yards necessary to gain access to and locate a vehicle that
was involved in a crash. Typically, a tow facility operator just needs
to give the crash technician permission to enter the yard to inspect
the vehicle and involves approximately 5 minutes of staff time. SCI
conducts approximately 100 visits to tow facilities per year, and NHTSA
estimates that 100 tow facilities will be visited annually (1 request
per facility per year). Accordingly, NHTSA estimates the total annual
burden to be 8 hours ((100 visits x 5 minutes) / 60 minutes/hour = 8.33
hours) and estimates that each tow facility will, on average, spend 5
minutes providing the requested information each year.
    Accordingly, NHTSA estimates that the total burden associated with
the SCI data acquisition system is 109 hours (67 + 17 + 17 + 8).
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: $0.
    There are no capital, start-up, or annual operation and maintenance
costs involved in this collection of information. The respondents would
not incur any reporting costs from the information collection beyond
the opportunity or labor costs associated with the burden hours. The
respondents also would not incur any recordkeeping burden or
recordkeeping costs from the information collection.

Special Studies

    Affected Public: Law enforcement jurisdictions that provide access
to and a copy of the crash report where the data is not electronic.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,000.
    Frequency: On occasion (typically once per year).
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 167 hours.

    There is only one information collection for Special Studies in
this ICR. This ICR only covers special studies involving remote-level
investigations.\1\ Accordingly, these remote-level investigations do
not involve interviews of individuals involved in crashes, collection
of medical records from hospitals, or visits to tow facilities.
Instead, these special studies only involve the collection of
information from police jurisdictions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ If NHTSA intends to conduct a special study that is not
remote, it will seek separate clearance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NHTSA estimates that the special studies will involve, on average,
1,000 police jurisdictions each year and require approximately 10
minutes of staff time per police jurisdiction. The total annual hour
burden on jurisdictions for special studies information is estimated to
be 167 hours (1 visit x 10 minutes x 1,000 jurisdictions / 60 minutes/
hour = 166.67).
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: $0.
    There are no capital, start-up, or annual operation and maintenance
costs involved in this collection of information. The respondents would
not incur any reporting costs from the information collection beyond
the labor costs associated with the burden hours. The respondents also
would not incur any recordkeeping burden or recordkeeping costs from
the information collection.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours All Programs: 12,063 hours.
    The total estimated annual burden hours to all respondents for this
ICR is 12,063 hours. The table below provides a summary of the
estimated annual burden hours.

of Management and Budget Approval; FDA Recall Regulations

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing that a
collection of information entitled, ``FDA Recall Regulations'' has been
approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: FDA PRA Staff, Office of Operations,
Food and Drug Administration, 8455 Colesville Rd., COLE-14526, Silver
Spring, MD 20993-0002<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 27, 2015, the Agency submitted a
proposed collection of information entitled, ``FDA Recall Regulations''
to OMB for review and clearance under 44 U.S.C. 3507. An Agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a

II. Registration Applications

    EPA has received applications to register new uses for pesticide
products containing currently registered active ingredients. Pursuant
to the provisions of FIFRA section 3(c)(4) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(4)), EPA
is hereby providing notice of receipt and opportunity to comment on
these applications. Notice of receipt of these applications does not
imply a decision by EPA on these applications. EPA received the
following applications to register new uses for pesticide products
containing currently registered active ingredients:
    1. EPA Registration Number: 100-1469. Docket ID number: EPA-HQ-OPP-
2019-0691. Applicant: Syngenta Crop Protection, LLC, 410 South Swing
Rd., Greensboro, NC 27409. Active ingredient: Aspergillus flavus strain
NRRL 21882. Product type: Fungicide. Proposed use: All food and feed
commodities of almond; corn, field; corn, pop; corn, sweet; peanut; and
pistachio. Note: In the Federal Register of March 2, 2020 (85 FR 12285)
(FRL-10004-59), EPA announced receipt of an application to amend this
pesticide product to add applications to almond and pistachio as new
uses. Since that time, the applicant provided an associated petition to
amend the currently existing Aspergillus flavus strain NRRL 21882
tolerance exemption to cover all food and feed commodities of almond;
corn, field; corn, pop; corn, sweet; peanut; and pistachio. Although
the applicant is still proposing to amend the pesticide product to add
only applications to almond and pistachio as new uses (applications to
corn and peanut are already registered uses), EPA is republishing its
receipt of this application to make it clear that all the food and feed
commodities of the aforementioned crops are intended be covered with
applications of the product and to give the public an opportunity to
comment on this clarifying information.
    2. EPA Registration Number: 279-3618. Docket ID number: EPA-HQ-OPP-
2017-0187. Applicant: FMC Corporation, 2929 Walnut St., Philadelphia,
PA 19104. Active ingredients: Bacillus licheniformis strain FMCH001 and
Bacillus subtilis strain FMCH002. Product type: Fungicide and
nematicide. Proposed use: In-furrow application. Note: In the Federal
Register of May 5, 2020 (85 FR 26684) (FRL-10008-46), EPA announced
receipt of an application to amend this pesticide product to add seed
treatment as a new use. Since that time, EPA noticed that it presented
the new use as seed treatment instead of in-furrow application. In
order to give the public an opportunity to comment on this corrected
information, EPA is republishing its receipt of this application with
an updated and accurate description.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C.
651, 656) established NACOSH to advise, consult with, and make
recommendations to the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Health
and Human Services (HHS) on matters relating to the administration of
the OSH Act. NACOSH is a continuing advisory committee of indefinite
duration.
    NACOSH operates in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee
Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2), its implementing regulations (41 CFR part
102-3), and OSHA's regulations on advisory committees and NACOSH (29
CFR parts 1912 and 1912a).
    NACOSH is comprised of 12 members: four public representatives, two
management representatives, two labor representatives, two occupational
safety professional representatives, and two occupational health
professional representatives (29 CFR 1912a.2). The Secretary of Labor
appoints all of these members. However, the Secretary of HHS designates
four of the representatives: two of the four public representatives and
the two occupational health professional representatives. NACOSH
members serve staggered two-year terms, unless the member becomes
unable to serve, resigns, ceases to be qualified to serve, or is
removed by the Secretary.
    On July 31, 2023, OSHA published a request for nominations for two
HHS designated NACOSH positions that would expire on November 15, 2023
(88 FR 49504). Specifically, OSHA requested nominations for:
     One (1) public representative (HHS); and
     One (1) occupational health professional representative
(HHS).

    OSHA handled the nominations consistent with the process identified
in the FRN. The Acting Secretary of Labor proceeded with the
appointment of individuals to two positions on November 1, 2023.

II. Appointment of Committee Members

    OSHA received nominations of highly qualified individuals in
response to the agency's request for nominations (88 FR 49504, July 31,
2023). The Acting Secretary appointed NACOSH members on the basis of
their experience and competence in the field of occupational safety and
health (29 CFR 1912a.2). The NACOSH members that the Acting Secretary
appointed on November 1, 2023 with terms expiring on November 15, 2025
are:

HHS Designated Public Representative

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP13-160-000]

Northwest Pipeline GP; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Blue Water LNG Meter Station
and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues

    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 Blue Water Liquefied Natural
Gas (LNG) Meter Project involving construction and operation of
facilities by Northwest Pipeline GP (Northwest) in Benton County,
Washington. The Commission will use this EA 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 they need to evaluate in the EA. Please note that
the scoping period will close on July 8, 2013.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and local government
representatives should notify their constituents of this proposed
project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
    Northwest provided landowners adjacent to the proposed meter
station with a fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate
Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know.'' This fact
sheet addresses a number of typically-asked questions, including how to
participate in the Commission's proceedings. It is also available for
viewing on the FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov).

Summary of the Proposed Project

    Northwest proposes to construct and operate a new LNG meter station
and associated piping within the yard of its existing Plymouth Peak
Shaving Plant (Plant). The Plant is located on about 72 acres on the
north side of the Columbia River in Benton County, Washington, about 19
miles south of the city of Kennewick. The Plant consists of two LNG
storage tanks with a capacity of 1.2 billion cubic feet each, two
liquefaction trains capable of liquefying 12 million standard cubic
feet per day of natural gas, vaporization facilities capable of
vaporizing 305,300 dekatherms of natural gas per day (Dth/d), and a
boil-off gas compression system.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ These facilities were authorized by the FERC in Docket Nos.
CP74-46-000 and CP76-106-000.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed Blue Water LNG Meter could supply up to 216,000
gallons of LNG per day (or 17,705 Dth/d) to Transfuels LLC
(Transfuels). Transfuels proposes to construct and operate a non-
jurisdictional LNG trunk loading facility on 20 acres of current
agricultural land directly north of the fenced boundary for Northwest's
Plant. The jurisdictional facilities proposed by Northwest would
include:
     A new 360-foot-long pipeline, supported on a pipe rack, to
convey LNG from the existing transfer pipeline between the storage
tanks, through the new meter runs, and then to the custody transfer
point at the plant boundary fence;
     Three new 32-foot-long meter runs and a one-inch-diameter
receipt meter and three-inch-diameter piping to handle boil-off-gas
coming back from the custody transfer point, all covered by a 20-foot
by 24-foot shelter;

     Two new auxiliary meters to measure gas volumes used by
customers;
     New chromatographic gas analysis and electronic flow
measurement equipment, housed in a fully enclosed building, 26-feet-
long by 22-feet-wide, located adjacent to the north of the meter runs
shelter;
     A new two-inch-diameter vent line to contain and transfer
gas to an existing relief header in the event gas is released,
supported on the new pipe rack; and
     A new cable tray to house power and communication wires,
supported on the new pipe rack.
    The general location of the project facilities is shown in appendix
1.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The appendices referenced in this notice will not appear in
the Federal Register. Copies of appendices were sent to all those
receiving this notice in the mail and are available at 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
(202) 502-8371. For instructions on connecting to eLibrary, refer to
the last page of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Land Requirements for Construction

    All construction activities would take place within the 72-acre
property of Northwest's Plant. Excavation for new facilities related to
the Blue Water LNG Meter Station project would cover about 0.05 acre.

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. The 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. We will
consider all filed comments 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;
     Water resources and wetlands;
     Vegetation and wildlife;
     Cultural resources;
     Air quality and noise; and
     Public safety.
    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.
    The EA will present our independent analysis of the issues. The EA
will be available in the public record through eLibrary. Depending on
the comments received during the scoping process, we may also publish
and distribute the EA to the public for an allotted comment period. We
will consider all comments on the EA before making our recommendations
to the Commission. To ensure we have the opportunity to consider and
address your comments, please carefully follow the instructions in the
Public Participation section on page 5 of this notice.
    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction by law
and/or special expertise with respect to the environmental issues of
this project to formally cooperate with us in the preparation of the
EA.\4\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Council on Environmental Quality regulations addressing
cooperating agency responsibilities are at Title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), Part 1501.6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 consultations
with the Washington State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), 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.\5\ We will define the project-specific Area of
Potential Effects (APE) in consultation with the SHPO as the project
develops. 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, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's regulations
are at 36 CFR Part 800. Those regulations define historic properties
as any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure,
or object included in or eligible for inclusion in the National
Register of 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.
     Safety issues related to vapor dispersion from the
jurisdictional Blue Water Meter Station; and
     Environmental review of the non-jurisdictional Transfuels
LNG loading facility by Benton County, Washington.

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 the Commission receives them in Washington, DC on or before July
8, 2013.
    For your convenience, there are three methods which you can use to
submit your comments to the Commission. In all instances please
reference the project docket number (CP13-160-000) with your
submission. The Commission encourages electronic filing of comments and

    The environmental mailing list includes federal, state, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; interested Indian tribes; 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 we publish and distribute the EA, 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 compact
disk version, or if you 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 in
the User's Guide under the ``e-filing'' link on the Commission's Web
site.
