[Docket No. FAA-2015-0680; Directorate Identifier 2014-NM-165-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC-8-400, -401, and -402 airplanes.
This proposed AD was prompted by a report of a main landing gear (MLG)
parking brake becoming dislodged from its mounting bracket due to an
improperly installed quick release pin of the hand pump lever. This
proposed AD would require removing the hand pump lever of the parking
brake from the right-hand side nacelle. We are proposing this AD to
prevent an unsecured lever from migrating from its stowed position,
fouling against the MLG, and subsequently puncturing the nacelle
structure, which could adversely affect the safe landing of the
airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 18, 2015.

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

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2014-18, dated June 19, 2014 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition on certain Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC-8-400, -401, and
-402 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    There has been one (1) reported in-service incident where the
main landing gear (MLG) parking brake hand pump lever was not
properly secured in the right-hand (RH) side nacelle and became
dislodged from its mounting bracket. During extension of the MLG,
the unsecured lever shifted causing a fouling condition with the
nacelle and subsequently puncturing the nacelle structure.
    An investigation revealed that the safety restraint pin used to
securely stow the lever is susceptible to mishandling. An unsecured
parking brake hand pump lever could migrate from its stowed position
and foul against the MLG, adversely affecting the safe landing of
the aeroplane.
    This [Canadian] AD mandates the removal of the MLG parking brake
hand pump lever from the RH side nacelle.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-
0680.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Bombardier has issued the following service bulletins. The actions
described in this service information are intended to correct the
unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.
     Service Bulletin 84-32-99, Revision A, dated October 2,
2012. This service information describes incorporating ModSum 4-113723
by re-locating the hand pump lever of the parking brake from the right-
hand side nacelle to the right-hand side equipment bay.
     Service Bulletin 84-32-118, dated April 8, 2014. This
service information describes incorporating Bombardier ModSum 4-113803
by removing the hand pump lever of the parking brake from the right-
hand side nacelle.
    This service information is reasonably available; see ADDRESSES for
ways to access this service information.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 82 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We also estimate that it would take about 3 work-hours per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost $0 per
product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this proposed
AD on U.S. operators to be $20,910, or $255 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:

    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc.; Notice of Request Under
Blanket Authorization

February 3, 2009.
    Take notice that on January 21, 2009, Southern Star Central Gas
Pipeline, Inc. (Southern Star), 4700 State Highway 56, Owensboro,
Kentucky 42301, filed in Docket No. CP09-50-000, a prior notice request
pursuant to sections 157.205 and 157.210 of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act for
authorization to replace a two mile section of the 12-inch diameter XT
pipeline by constructing two miles of 20-inch diameter pipeline,
located in Johnson County, Missouri, all as more fully set forth in the
application, which is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection. The filing may also be viewed on the Web at http://
www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number
excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access
the document. For assistance, contact FERC at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call toll-free,<PHONE_NUMBER> or TTY,

    Specifically, Southern Star proposes to replace a two mile section
of the 12-inch diameter XT pipeline with two miles of 20-inch diameter
XM pipeline, near Warrensburg, Missouri, a continuation of its multi-
year plan to replace the remaining miles of 12-inch diameter XT
pipeline. Southern Star estimates the cost of construction to be
$5,096,685. Southern Star asserts that after the proposed pipeline
construction is completed, approximately two miles of the 12-inch XT
pipeline will be abandoned either in place or by reclaim. Southern Star
states that the replacement pipeline will improve reliability and offer
flexibility on its system but does not provide any additional firm
capacity upstream and will continue to be operated at its current
Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure of 570 psi.

[Docket No. PF09-7-000]

Kern River Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Intent To Prepare
an Environmental Impact Statement for the Apex Expansion Project,
Request for Comments on Environmental Issues, and Notice of Joint
Public Scoping Meetings

May 15, 2009.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission), the U.S. Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management

(BLM), the U.S. Forest Service (FS), and Bureau of Reclamation
(Reclamation) will prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) that
will discuss the environmental impacts that could result from the
construction and operation of the Apex Expansion Project. The FERC is
the lead federal agency for the preparation of the EIS, and the EIS
will be used by the Commission in its decision making process to
determine whether the project is in the public convenience and
necessity. The project would involve Kern River Gas Transmission
Company's (Kern River) planned construction and operation of a new
natural gas pipeline in Morgan, Davis, and Salt Lake Counties, Utah.
    This Notice of Intent (NOI) announces the opening of the scoping
process used to gather input from the public and interested agencies on
the project. Your input will help the Commission staff and cooperating
agencies determine which issues need to be evaluated in the EIS. Please
note that the scoping period will close on June 15, 2009.
    Comments may be submitted in written or verbal form. 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, we invite you to attend the public scoping
meetings scheduled as follows.

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

    Interested groups and individuals are encouraged to attend the
meetings and to present comments on the environmental issues they
believe should be addressed in the EIS. A transcript of the meeting
will be generated so that your comments will be accurately recorded.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this project, which includes: affected landowners;
federal, state, and local government representatives and agencies;
elected officials; environmental and public interest groups; Native
American tribes; other interested parties in this proceeding; and local
libraries and newspapers. We \1\ encourage state and local government
representatives to notify their constituents of the planned project and
encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ ``We'', ``us'', and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the Office of Energy Projects (OEP).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, you may be contacted
by a pipeline company representative about the acquisition of an
easement to construct, operate, and maintain the planned facilities.
The pipeline 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 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?'' is available for
viewing on the FERC Internet Web site (http://www.ferc.gov. 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.

Summary of the Proposed Project

    Kern River has announced its plans to construct and operate
approximately 29 miles of new 36-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline
loop \2\ in Morgan, Davis, and Salt Lake Counties, Utah (known as the
Wasatch Loop). The planned Apex Expansion Project would also include:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ A loop is a segment of pipeline that is usually installed
adjacent to an existing pipeline and connected to it at both ends.
The loop allows more gas to be moved through the system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Construction of a new compressor station in Beaver County,
Utah (Milford Compressor Station);
     Replacement of a compressor unit at the Fillmore
Compressor Station in Millard County, Utah; and
     Additional compression at the following existing
compressor stations, totaling 78,000 horsepower:
     Coyote Creek Compressor Station in Uinta County, Wyoming;
     Elberta Compressor Station in Utah County, Utah; and
     Dry Lake Compressor Station in Clark County, Nevada.
    Location maps depicting the planned facilities are attached to this
NOI as Appendix 1.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The appendices referenced in this notice are not being
printed in the Federal Register. Copies of all appendices are
available on the Commission's website at the ``eLibrary'' link 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. Copies
of the appendices were sent to all those receiving this notice in
the mail.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Kern River is also considering an alternative pipeline route which
would follow the planned route through the FS Ward Canyon utility
corridor to Bountiful City where it would turn south onto Bountiful
Boulevard for approximately 6 miles before rejoining the existing Kern
River pipeline, thereafter following the planned route.

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the Apex Expansion Project would require about 356
acres of land for the pipeline. Following construction, about 178 acres
would be used for the operation of the pipeline. The construction and
operation of the Milford Compressor Station would require 30 acres on
BLM land, and the upgrades and replacement activities at the existing
compressor stations would require 20 acres on land already owned/leased
by Kern River (The Dry Lake Compressor Station is also on land owned by
the BLM). The area disturbed during construction but not required for
operation would generally be allowed to revert to pre-construction
condition.
    The planned Wasatch Loop, some of which crosses land under the
jurisdiction of the FS in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest,
would be located within and directly adjacent to the existing Kern
River right-of-way. Kern River plans to align the loop with a typical
offset of 35 feet from the existing pipeline to the extent practicable.
The planned modifications to the four existing compressor stations
would occur within the existing fence line of those facilities.

The EIS 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 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 EIS on the important environmental issues. By this NOI,
the Commission staff requests public comments on the scope of the
issues to address in the EIS. All comments received will be considered
during the preparation of the EIS.
    In the EIS we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of
the construction and operation of the planned project under these
general headings:
     Geology and soils;
     Land use;
     Water resources, fisheries, and wetlands;
     Cultural resources;
     Vegetation and wildlife;
     Air quality and noise;
     Endangered and threatened species; and
     Public safety.
    We will also evaluate possible alternatives to the planned project
or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to lessen
or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    Although no formal application has been filed, we have already
initiated our NEPA review under the Commission's Pre-Filing Process.
The purpose of the Pre-Filing Process is to encourage early involvement
of interested stakeholders and to identify and resolve issues before an
application is filed with the FERC. As part of our Pre-Filing Process
review, we have begun to contact some federal and state agencies to
discuss their involvement in the scoping process and the preparation of
the EIS. In addition, representatives from the FERC participated in
public open houses sponsored by Kern River in the project area in March
2009, to explain the environmental review process to interested
stakeholders.
    The planned Milford Compressor Station and associated access road
and the Dry Lake Compressor Station would be located on federal lands
for which the BLM has jurisdiction and/or special expertise with
respect to environmental issues/impacts. The planned Wasatch Loop would
cross federal lands under FS jurisdiction in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache
National Forest for which the FS would require a plan amendment to the
2003 Forest Plan. The planned route and the alternative route along
Bountiful Boulevard would also cross federal lands under Reclamation
jurisdiction. Kern River would seek a right-of-way grant amendment from
the BLM for all federal lands crossed by the Project.
    Our independent analysis of the issues will be included in a draft
EIS. The draft EIS will be mailed to federal, state, and local
government agencies; elected officials; affected landowners;
environmental and public interest groups; Indian tribes and regional
Native American organizations; commentors; other interested parties;
local libraries and newspapers; and the FERC's official service list
for this proceeding. A 45-day comment period will be allotted for
review of the draft EIS and the proposed plan amendment. We will
consider all timely comments on the draft EIS and revise the document,
as necessary, before issuing a final EIS. To ensure that your comments
are considered, please carefully follow the instructions in the Public
Participation section of this NOI.
    With this NOI, we are asking any other federal, state, and local
agencies with jurisdiction and/or special expertise with respect to
environmental issues to formally cooperate with us in the preparation
of the EIS. These agencies may choose to participate once they have
evaluated the proposal relative to their responsibilities. Additional
agencies that would like to request cooperating agency status should
follow the instructions for filing comments provided under the Public
Participation section of this NOI. Currently, the BLM, FS, and
Reclamation have expressed their intention to participate as
cooperating agencies in the preparation of the EIS to satisfy their
NEPA responsibilities for the portion of the Project on Federal lands.

Currently Identified Environmental Issues

    We have already identified several issues that we think deserve
attention based on a preliminary review of the planned facilities,
comments made to us at Kern River's open houses, preliminary
consultations with other agencies, and the environmental information
provided by Kern River. This preliminary list of issues may be changed
based on your comments and our analysis:
     Disturbance to residents along pipeline construction
route, including noise and aesthetics;
     Impacts to the viewshed from construction activities and
placement of aboveground facilities;
     Potential for geological hazards, including seismic
activity, to have impacts on the pipeline;
     Impacts of the pipeline on cultural resources, including
paleontological resources and historic trails;
     Impacts of the pipeline on recreation and scenic
resources; and
     Possible disturbance to residents and impacts to the
viewshed from construction activities on the alternative route along
Bountiful Boulevard.

Public Participation

    You can make a difference by providing us with your specific
comments or concerns about the Apex Expansion 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
in your comments so that they will be received in Washington, DC on or
before June 15, 2009.
    For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to submit
your written comments to the Commission. In all instances please
reference the project docket number PF09-7-000 with your submission.
The Commission encourages electronic filing of comments and has
dedicated eFiling expert staff available to assist you at<PHONE_NUMBER>
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (1) You may file your comments electronically by using the Quick
Comment feature, which is located on the Commission's Internet Web site
at http://www.ferc.gov under the link to Documents and Filings. A Quick
Comment is an easy method for interested persons to submit text-only
comments on a project;
    (2) You may file your comments electronically by using the eFiling
feature, which is located on the Commission's Internet Web site at
http://www.ferc.gov under the link to Documents and Filings. eFiling
involves preparing your submission in the same manner as you would if
filing on paper, and then saving the file on your computer's hard
drive. You will attach that file as your submission. New eFiling users
must first create an account by clicking on ``Sign up'' or
``eRegister.'' You will be asked to select the type of filing you are
making. A comment on a particular project is considered a ``Comment on
a Filing;'' or
    (3) You may file your comments via mail to the Commission by
sending an original and two copies of your letter to: Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First St., NE.,
Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426.

    Label one copy of the comments for the attention of Gas Branch 1,
PJ-11.1.

Becoming an Intervenor

    Once Kern River formally files its application with the Commission,
you may want to become an ``intervenor,'' which is an official party to
the 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 a Commission proceeding by filing a request to
intervene. Instructions for becoming an intervenor are included in the
User's Guide under the ``eFiling'' link on the Commission's Web site.
Please note that you may not request intervenor status at this time;
you must wait until the formal application for the Project is filed
with the Commission.

Environmental Mailing List

    An effort is being made to send this notice to all individuals,
organizations, and government entities interested in and/or potentially
affected by the planned project. This includes all landowners who are
potential right-of-way grantors, whose property may be used temporarily
for project purposes, or who own homes within certain distances
(defined in the Commission's regulations) of aboveground facilities.
    If you do not want to send comments at this time but still want to
remain on our mailing list, please return the Information Request
(Appendix 2). If you do not return the Information Request, you will be
taken off the mailing list.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2012-0003; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1269]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical
data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have
been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through
issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Title
44, Part 65 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR Part 65). The
LOMR will be used by insurance agents and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the
contents of those buildings. For rating purposes, the currently
effective community number is shown in the table below and must be used
for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will become effective on the
dates listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS
report in effect prior to this determination for the listed
communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has ninety (90)
days in which to request through the community that the Deputy
Associate Administrator for Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
flood hazard determination information may be changed during the 90-day
period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or
(email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR Part 65.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
    These flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

June 14, 2006.
    DC Energy New York, LLC, DC Energy Mid-Atlantic, LLC and DC Energy
New England, LLC (DC Companies) filed applications for market-based
rate authority, with accompanying rate schedules. The proposed market-
based rate schedules provide for the sale of energy, capacity and

waiver of various Commission regulations. In particular, DC Companies
requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part
34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability
by DC Companies.
    On June 7, 2006, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director,
Division of Tariffs and Market Development--West, granted the request
for blanket approval under Part 34. The Director's order also stated

    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above,
DC Companies are authorized to issue securities and assume obligations
or liabilities as a guarantor, indorser, surety, or otherwise in
respect of any security of another person; provided that such issuance
or assumption is for some lawful object within the corporate purposes
of DC Companies compatible with the public interest, and is reasonably
necessary or appropriate for such purposes.
    The Commission reserves the right to require a further showing that
neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected by
continued approval of DC Companies' issuances of securities or
assumptions of liability.
    Copies of the full text of the Director's Order are available from

    k. Description of Project: Project's features include Lake
Pillsbury, a 2,300-acre storage reservoir impounded by Scott Dam; Van
Arsdale Reservoir, a 106-acre reservoir impounded by the Cape Horn
Diversion Dam; and a tunnel and penstock across a natural watershed
divide from the project's powerhouse located in the headwaters of the
Eel River Basin to the Russian River Basin. Pacific Gas and Electric
(PG&E) has operated the Potter Valley Project for approximately 120
years.\1\ On October 4, 1983, the Commission issued a new license for
its continued operation and maintenance,\2\ with a license term
expiring on April 14, 2022.\3\ On January 25, 2019, PG&E notified the
Commission that it did not intend to relicense the project. Section
15(a)(1) of the Federal Power Act requires the Commission, at the
expiration of a license term, to issue from year-to-year an annual
license to the licensee under the terms and conditions of the prior
license until a new license is issued, or the project is otherwise
disposed of.\4\ Accordingly, the Commission granted PG&E an annual
license as required by statute on April 21, 2022.\5\ On July 8, 2022,
PG&E filed a plan and schedule for the surrender of the project that
sets January 2025 as the filing date for the surrender application.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The project was constructed in 1907. It was originally
licensed by the Federal Power Commission for 50 years on April 15,
1922. From 1972 to 1983, the project operated on annual licenses
until the Commission issued a new license for the project in 1983.

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

    l. Description of Proceeding: Standard license Article 15 requires
the licensee, in part, for the conservation and development of fish and
wildlife resources to comply with such reasonable modifications of
project structures and operation, as may be ordered by the Commission
upon its own motion or upon the recommendation of the Secretary of the
Interior or the fish and wildlife agency or agencies of any State in
which the project is located. In letters filed March 17, 2022 and
October 17, 2022, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)
requested the Commission

exercise its reserved authority to require interim protective measures,
that NMFS deemed necessary on the annual license to protect listed
salmonid species at the project. In a July 12, 2022 letter, PG&E
declined to volunteer to file an amendment application to adopt NMFS'
proposed interim measures.
    In this proceeding, after notice and opportunity for hearing, the
Commission may find cause to reopen the annual license terms to require
changes in the project works or operations that may be necessary to
protect federally listed species.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry
entitled ``Dietary Supplements: New Dietary Ingredient Notifications
and Related Issues.'' This draft guidance is being issued consistent
with FDA's good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115(g)(2)).
    This draft guidance is intended to assist industry in deciding when
a premarket safety notification for a dietary supplement containing an
NDI is necessary and in preparing NDI notifications. The draft guidance
discusses in question and answer format FDA's views on what qualifies
as an NDI, when an NDI notification is required, the procedures for
submitting an NDI notification, the types of data and information that
manufacturers and distributors should consider when they evaluate the
safety of a dietary supplement containing an NDI, and what should be
included in an NDI notification. In addition, the draft guidance
contains questions and answers about parts of the dietary supplement
definition that can affect whether a particular substance may be
marketed as a dietary ingredient in a dietary supplement.
    On October 25, 1994, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education
Act of 1994 (DSHEA) (Pub. L. 103-417) was signed into law. DSHEA
amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) by adding,
among other provisions, (1) Section 201(ff) (21 U.S.C. 321(ff)), which
defines the term ``dietary supplement'' and (2) section 413 (21 U.S.C.
350b), which defines the term ``new dietary ingredient'' and requires
the manufacturer or distributor of an NDI, or of the dietary supplement
that contains the NDI, to submit a premarket notification to FDA at
least 75 days before introducing the supplement into interstate
commerce or delivering it for introduction into interstate commerce,
unless the NDI and any other dietary ingredients in the dietary
supplement ``have been present in the food supply as an article used
for food in a form in which the food has not been chemically altered''
(section 413(a)(1)). The notification must contain the information,
including any citation to published articles, which is the basis on
which the manufacturer or distributor of the NDI or dietary supplement
has concluded that the dietary supplement containing the NDI will
reasonably be

expected to be safe. If the required premarket notification is not
submitted to FDA, section 413(a) of the FD&C Act provides that the
dietary supplement containing the NDI is deemed to be adulterated under
section 402(f) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 342(f)). Even if the
notification is submitted as required, the dietary supplement
containing the NDI is adulterated under section 402(f) unless there is
a history of use or other evidence of safety establishing that the NDI,
when used under the conditions recommended or suggested in the labeling
of the dietary supplement, will reasonably be expected to be safe.
    To assist industry in complying with DSHEA, FDA issued a
regulation, Sec.  190.6 (21 CFR 190.6), to implement the FD&C Act's
premarket notification requirements for dietary supplements that
contain an NDI (62 FR 49886, September 23, 1997). The NDI regulation
specifies the information the manufacturer or distributor must include
in its premarket NDI notification (Sec.  190.6(b)) and establishes the
administrative procedures for these notifications. FDA's goal in
issuing the 1997 regulation was to ensure that NDI notifications
contained the information that would enable FDA to evaluate whether a
dietary supplement containing an NDI is reasonably expected to be safe.
    On January 4, 2011, the President signed into law the FDA Food
Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) (Pub. L. 111-353). Section 113(b) of
FSMA requires FDA to publish, not later than 180 days after the date of
enactment, guidance that clarifies when a dietary supplement ingredient
is an NDI, when the manufacturer or distributor of a dietary ingredient
or dietary supplement should submit an NDI notification to FDA under
section 413(a)(2) of the FD&C Act, the evidence needed to document the
safety of an NDI, and appropriate methods for establishing the identity
of an NDI. This draft guidance is being published to comply with
section 113(b) of FSMA.
    The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the Agency's
current thinking on NDIs and dietary supplements that contain NDIs. It
does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not
operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternate approach may be used if
such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and
regulations.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3501-3520), Federal Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they
conduct or sponsor. This draft guidance contains proposed collections
of information. ``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C.
3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or
requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records,
or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal Agencies to publish a
60-day notice in the Federal Register soliciting public comment on each
proposed collection of information before submitting the collection to
OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, FDA will publish a
60-day notice on the proposed collections of information in this draft
guidance in a future issue of the Federal Register.
    This draft guidance also refers to previously approved collections
of information found in FDA regulations. These collections of
information are subject to review by OMB under the PRA. The collections
of information in 21 CFR Part 111 have been approved under OMB control
number 0901-0606, and the collections of information in Sec.  190.6
have been approved under OMB control number 0910-0330.

III. Comments

    Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management
(see ADDRESSES) either electronic or written comments regarding this
document. It is only necessary to send one set of comments. It is no
longer necessary to send two copies of mailed comments. Identify
