    Title: Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Rule.
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2002.05, OMB Control No. 2025-0003.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2011. Under
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An
Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after

appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR
Part 9, are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or
by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection
instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers
in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR Part 9.
    Abstract: The scope of this ICR is the electronic reporting
components of the Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR),
which is designed to: allow EPA to comply with the Government Paperwork
Elimination Act of 1998; provide a uniform, technology-neutral
framework for electronic reporting across all EPA programs; allow EPA
programs to offer electronic reporting as they become ready for
CROMERR; and provide states with a streamlined process--together with
uniform set of standards--for approval of their electronic reporting
provisions for all their EPA-authorized programs. Use of electronic
reporting is voluntary. In order to accommodate CBI, the information
collected must be in accordance with the confidentiality regulations
set forth in 40 CFR Part 2, subpart B. Additionally, EPA will ensure
that the information collection procedures comply with the Privacy Act
of 1974 and the OMB Circular 108.
    Burden Statement: The overall recordkeeping and reporting burden
for this ICR is estimated to be about 12 minutes per response. However,
the actual burden varies between 5 minutes and 331 hours depending on
the specific activity. Please see the supporting statement for the
details.
    Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources
expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and
verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and
disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to
comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements
which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond
to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and
review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Facilities reporting electronically
to EPA and state, tribal, or local government authorized programs; and
state, tribal, and local government authorized programs implementing
electronic reporting.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: EPA estimates that, on average,
87,080 facility employees will register and comply with identity
proofing requirements of EPA or state, tribal, or local government
authorized program electronic document receiving systems each year. EPA
estimates that 24 state, tribal, or local government authorized
programs will submit documentation to EPA associated with the approval
of their electronic document receiving systems each year.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 39,763 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: The estimated total annual cost is
$2,167,446. This includes an estimated labor cost of $1,396,120,
capital cost of $632,137, and operation and maintenance (O&M) cost of
$139,189.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 38,272 hours in
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease occurred for two primary reasons.
First, there was a decrease in the annualized number of respondents.
The total number of employees registering with EPA's electronic
document receiving system and/or complying with CROMERR's identity
proofing requirements decreased from 93,325 in the currently approved
ICR to 87,080 in this ICR. In addition, the total number of state,
tribal, and local government authorized programs upgrading their
existing electronic document receiving systems or developing new
electronic document receiving systems, and submitting documentation
associated with the approval of CROMERR applications decreased from 61
in the currently approved ICR to 24 in this ICR. EPA conducted a
thorough examination of available information (e.g., number of
application received over the past three years) in estimating the
number of respondents subject to the requirements of this ICR. EPA
thinks that the number of respondents included in this ICR is a
reasonable approximation of the actual respondent universe.
    Second, in developing this ICR, EPA carefully reviewed the
respondent activities associated with compliance with identify proofing
requirements. EPA made a few changes to the assumptions associated with
subscriber agreement and LRA alternatives to be consistent with actual
compliance of respondents with these requirements. For example, EPA
reduced the proportion of respondents that use the LRA alternative
while increasing the proportion of respondents that comply with
subscriber agreement requirements. This resulted in a burden decrease
because the burden associated with subscriber agreements is less than
the LRA burden. EPA notes that few, if any, respondents opted to use
the LRA alternative over the past three years.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ICH was established in 1990 as a joint
regulatory/industry project to improve, through harmonization, the
efficiency of the process for developing and registering new medicinal
products in

Europe, Japan, and the United States without compromising the
regulatory obligations of safety and effectiveness.
    In recent years, many important initiatives have been undertaken by
regulatory authorities and industry associations to promote
international harmonization of regulatory requirements. FDA has
participated in many meetings designed to enhance harmonization and is
committed to seeking scientifically based harmonized technical
procedures for pharmaceutical development. One of the goals of
harmonization is to identify and then reduce differences in technical
requirements for medical product development among regulatory Agencies.
ICH was organized to provide an opportunity for harmonization
initiatives to be developed with input from both regulatory and
industry representatives. ICH is concerned with harmonization among
three regions: The European Union, Japan, and the United States. The
six ICH sponsors are the European Commission; the European Federation
of Pharmaceutical Industries Associations; the Japanese Ministry of
Health, Labor, and Welfare; the Japanese Pharmaceutical Manufacturers
Association; the Centers for Drug Evaluation and Research and Biologics
Evaluation and Research, FDA; and the Pharmaceutical Research and
Manufacturers of America. The ICH Secretariat, which coordinates the
preparation of documentation, is provided by the International
Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Associations. The ICH
Steering Committee includes representatives from each of the ICH
sponsors and Health Canada, the European Free Trade Area, and the World
Health Organization. The ICH process has achieved significant
harmonization of the technical requirements for the approval of
pharmaceuticals for human use in the three ICH regions.
    The current ICH process and structure can be found at the following
Web site: http://www.ich.org. (FDA has verified the Web site addresses
in this document, but FDA is not responsible for any subsequent changes
to the Web sites after this document publishes in the Federal
Register.)
    The agenda for the public meeting will be made available on the
Internet at http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/NewsEvents/ucm291624.htm.

    Dated: March 6, 2012.

[Docket No. FAA-2023-1881; Project Identifier MCAI-2023-00738-E]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG
Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2021-25-04, which applies to certain Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co
KG (RRD) Model Trent 1000 engines. AD 2021-25-04 requires operators to
revise the airworthiness limitations section (ALS) of their existing
approved continuous airworthiness maintenance program by incorporating
the revised tasks of the applicable time limits manual (TLM) for each
affected model turbofan engine. Since the FAA issued AD 2021-25-04, the
manufacturer revised the TLM to introduce new or more restrictive tasks
and limitations and associated thresholds and intervals for life-
limited parts, which prompted this proposed AD. This proposed AD would
require revising the ALS of the operator's existing approved engine
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or
more restrictive tasks and limitations and associated thresholds and
intervals for life-limited parts, as specified in a European Union
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation
by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this NPRM by November 2, 2023.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to regulations.gov. Follow
the instructions for submitting comments.

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2023-1881; Project Identifier
MCAI-2023-00738-E'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the proposal, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
the proposal because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. The
agency will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal
contact received about this NPRM.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt

from public disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM
contain commercial or financial information that is customarily treated
as private, that you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or
responsive to this NPRM, it is important that you clearly designate the
submitted comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission
containing CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked
submissions as confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed
in the public docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing CBI should be
sent to Sungmo Cho, Aviation Safety Engineer, FAA, 2200 South 216th
Street, Des Moines, WA 98198. Any commentary that the FAA receives
which is not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the
public docket for this rulemaking.

Background

    The FAA issued AD 2021-25-04, Amendment 39-21847 (86 FR 71129,
December 15, 2021) (AD 2021-25-04), for all RRD Model Trent 1000-AE3,
Trent 1000-CE3, Trent 1000-D3, Trent 1000-G3, Trent 1000-H3, Trent
1000-J3, Trent 1000-K3, Trent 1000-L3, Trent 1000-M3, Trent 1000-N3,
Trent 1000-P3, Trent 1000-Q3, and Trent 1000-R3 (Trent 1000) engines.
AD 2021-25-04 was prompted by an MCAI originated by EASA, which is the
Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union. EASA
issued EASA AD 2020-0243, dated November 5, 2020 (EASA AD 2020-0243) to
address the manufacturer revising the engine TLM life limits of certain
critical rotating parts and updating certain maintenance tasks.
    AD 2021-25-04 requires operators to revise the ALS of their
existing approved aircraft maintenance program by incorporating the
revised tasks of the applicable TLM for each affected model turbofan
engine, as specified in EASA AD 2020-0243. The FAA issued AD 2021-25-04
to prevent the failure of critical rotating parts, which could result
in failure of one or more engines, loss of thrust control, and loss of
the airplane.

Actions Since AD 2021-25-04 Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued AD 2021-25-04, EASA superseded EASA AD 2020-
0243 with EASA AD 2022-0247, dated December 14, 2022 (EASA AD 2022-
0247) and then superseded EASA AD 2022-0247 with EASA AD 2023-0115,
dated June 7, 2023 (EASA AD 2023-0115) (also referred to after this as
the MCAI). The MCAI states that the manufacturer published a revised
engine TLM to introduce new or more restrictive tasks and limitations
and associated thresholds and intervals for life-limited parts.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2023-1881.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed EASA AD 2023-0115, which specifies procedures for
operators to revise the ALS of the existing approved engine maintenance
or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive tasks and limitations and associated thresholds and
intervals for life-limited parts.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in ADDRESSES.

FAA's Determination

    These products have been approved by the aviation authority of
another country and are approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this 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 on other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require revising the ALS of the operator's
existing approved engine maintenance or inspection program, as
applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive tasks and
limitations and associated thresholds and intervals for life-limited
parts, which are specified in EASA AD 2023-0115, described previously,
except for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory
text of this proposed AD and as discussed under ``Differences Between
this Proposed AD and the MCAI.''

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 since
coordinated with other manufacturers and CAAs to use this process. As a
result, the FAA proposes to incorporate by reference EASA AD 2023-0115
in the FAA final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require
compliance with EASA AD 2023-0115 in its entirety through that
incorporation, except for any differences identified as exceptions in
the regulatory text of this proposed AD. Using common terms that are
the same as the heading of a particular section in the EASA AD does not
mean that operators need comply only with that section. For example,
where the AD requirement refers to ``all required actions within
compliance times,'' compliance with this AD requirement is not limited
to the section titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in
EASA AD 2023-0115. Service information required by the EASA AD for
compliance will be available at regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA-
2023-1881 after the FAA final rule is published.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the MCAI

    Where paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2023-0115 specifies revising the
approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme within 12 months after the
effective date of EASA AD 2023-0115, this proposed AD would require
revising the ALS of the existing approved engine maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, within 90 days after the effective
date of this AD.
    This proposed AD would not require compliance with paragraphs (1),
(2), (4), and (5) of EASA AD 2023-0115.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 2 engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

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

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 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 that the 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.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP18-186-000]

Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC Southeastern Trail
Project, Request for Comments on Environmental Issues, and Notice of
Public Scoping Sessions

    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 Southeastern Trail Project
involving construction and operation of facilities by Transcontinental
Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC (Transco) across Virginia, South Carolina,
Georgia, and Louisiana. 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. 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.
Your input will help the Commission staff determine what issues they
need to evaluate in the EA. 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 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight
Time on July 2, 2018.
    If you sent comments on this project to the Commission before the
opening of this docket on April 11, 2018, you will need to file those
comments in Docket No. CP18-186-000 to ensure they are considered as
part of this proceeding.
    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.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company
representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. The company
would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if
the Commission approves the project, that approval conveys with it the
right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement negotiations fail to
produce an agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation
proceedings where compensation would be determined in accordance with
state law.
    Transco provided landowners 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 the use of eminent domain and how to participate
in the Commission's proceedings. It is also available for viewing on
the FERC website (www.ferc.gov).

Public Participation

    For your convenience, there are four methods you can use to submit
your comments to the Commission. The Commission will provide equal
consideration to all comments received, whether filed in written form
or provided verbally. The Commission encourages electronic filing of
comments and has expert staff available to assist you at<PHONE_NUMBER>
or [email protected]. Please carefully follow these
instructions so that your comments are properly recorded.
    (1) You can file your comments electronically using the eComment
feature on the Commission's website (www.ferc.gov) under the link to

Summary of the Proposed Project

    Transco proposes to construct and operate about 7.7 miles of new
natural gas pipeline (Manassas Loop) located along the existing Transco
Mainline, expand three existing compressor stations in Virginia
(Stations 185, 175, and 165), and modify 21 existing facilities in
South Carolina, Georgia, and Louisiana as part of the Southeastern
Trail Project. According to Transco, its project would provide 296.4
million standard cubic feet of natural gas per day (MMcf/d) of
additional firm transportation capacity from the Pleasant Valley
Interconnect facility in Fairfax County, Virginia to the existing
Station 65 pooling point in St. Helena Parish, Louisiana, to serve the
following customers: Public Service Company of North Carolina
Incorporated (60 MMcf/d), South Carolina Electric and Gas (215 MMcf/d),
Virginia Natural Gas (14.6 MMcf/d), and the cities of Buford (3.8 MMcf/
d) and LaGrange (3 MMcf/d) in Georgia.
    The specific facilities proposed as part of the Southeastern Trail
Project are as follows:
     Construction of approximately 7.7 miles of new 42-inch-
diameter pipeline loop \3\ (referred to as the Manassas Loop) in
Fauquier and Prince William Counties, Virginia. The Manassas Loop would
be collocated along the Transco Mainline from milepost 1568.13 to
1575.85 between Station 180 and Station 185.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ A pipeline loop is a segment of pipe constructed parallel to
an existing pipeline to increase capacity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Expansion of existing compressor stations in Virginia
    [cir] Uprating the existing electric-driven compression unit driver
from 25,000 to 30,000 horsepower (HP) and re-gearing the associated
variable speed drive at Station 185 in Prince William County.
    [cir] Addition of one new 22,490 HP turbine-driven compression unit
and station cooling, and uprating of the existing electric driven
compression unit driver from 33,000- to 41,250-HP and rewheeling the
associated centrifugal compressor at Station 175 in Fluvanna County.
    [cir] Addition of two new 22,490 HP turbine-driven compression
units, station cooling, and miscellaneous piping modifications; the
abandonment and removal of ten reciprocating compressor units totaling
20,000 HP; and demolition of an existing compressor building at Station
165 in Pittsylvania County.
     Mainline Facility Modifications in South Carolina,
Georgia, and Louisiana
    [cir] Flow reversal modifications to existing Station 65 in St.
Helena Parish, Louisiana and existing Station 140 in Spartanburg
County, South Carolina.
    [cir] Flow reversal modifications and installation of deodorization
at existing Station 130 in Madison County, Georgia and existing Station
115 in Coweta County, Georgia.
    [cir] Installation of deodorization at existing Stations 116, 120,
and 125 in Carroll, Henry, and Walton Counties, Georgia and Station 135
in Anderson County, South Carolina.
    [cir] Installation of deodorization at 13 existing mainline valve
facilities in South Carolina and Georgia along the Transco Mainline.
    The general location of the project facilities is shown in appendix
3.

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the proposed facilities would disturb about 185
acres of land for the aboveground facilities and the pipeline, the
majority of which is associated with the Manassas Loop (76.4 acres) in
Fauquier and Prince William Counties, Virginia, and the Station 165
expansion (72.8 acres) in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. About 96
percent of the proposed Manassas Loop pipeline route would be co-
located at a 25-foot offset from the existing Transco Mainline C
pipeline, expanding the existing permanent right-of-way by 25 feet. In
addition, one new permanent access road would be constructed and
maintained to provide access to the new mainline valve for the Manassas
Loop at Station 180. In total, Transco would maintain about 34.2 acres
for permanent operation of the project's facilities, including 24.0
acres for the Manassas Loop and 10.0 acres for the Station 165
expansion. The remaining acreage would be restored and revert to former
uses.

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could
result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us
\4\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ ``We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the Commission's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the EA we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of
the construction and operation of the proposed project under these
general headings:
     Geology and soils;

     Land use;
     Water resources, fisheries, and wetlands;
     Cultural resources;
     Vegetation and wildlife;
     Air quality and noise;
     Endangered and threatened species;
     Public safety; and
     Cumulative impacts
    We will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the proposed
project or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to
lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    The EA will present our independent analysis of the issues. The EA
will be available in the public record through eLibrary. We will
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, beginning on page 2.
    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.\5\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Council on Environmental Quality regulations addressing
cooperating agency responsibilities are at Title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations, 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 consultation
with the applicable State Historic Preservation Offices (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.\6\ We will define the project-specific Area of
Potential Effects (APE) in consultation with the SHPOs 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, compressor
stations, and access roads). Our EA for this project will document our
findings on the impacts on historic properties and summarize the status
of consultations under section 106.

    \6\ The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's regulations
are at Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, 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.

Environmental Mailing List

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

Notice of Onsite Review

    On June 18-20, 2018, the Office of Energy Projects staff will be in
Fauquier, Prince William, Fluvanna, and Pittsylvania Counties, Virginia
to gather data related to the environmental analysis of the
Southeastern Trail Project. Staff will review environmental resources
on the proposed Manassas Loop and visit Stations 175 and 165 to review
the extent of proposed ground-disturbing activities. This will assist
staff in completing its comparative evaluation of environmental impacts
of the proposed project. Viewing of these facilities is anticipated to
be from existing Transco right-of-way and at existing Transco stations.
