Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP22-162-000; CP18-549-001]

Equitrans, L.P.; Notice of Availability of the Environmental
Assessment for the Proposed Swarts Complex Abandonment Project
Amendment

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the
Swarts Complex Abandonment Project Amendment (Project), proposed by
Equitrans, L.P. (Equitrans) in the above-referenced docket. Equitrans
requests authorization for an amendment to an existing abandonment
authorization issued by FERC on March 20, 2019 in Docket No. CP18-549-
000 (2019 Order) to enable Equitrans to plug and abandon five existing
active natural gas injection/withdrawal (I/W) wells in Equitrans'
Swarts Storage Field in Greene County, Pennsylvania. The 2019 Order
authorized the abandonment-by-sale of eighteen I/W wells and associated
well lines and appurtenances to the CONSOL mining companies, which
operate an underground coal mine adjacent to the Swarts Storage Field.
Equitrans now requests authorization to abandon five of the eighteen I/
W wells that were not abandoned by the CONSOL mining companies.
    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the
abandonment activities of the Project in accordance with the
requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. The FERC staff
concludes that approval of the proposed Project, with appropriate
mitigating measures, would not constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
    The proposed Project includes the following activities:
     plug and abandon I/W Wells 3791, 3792, 3793, 3795, and
3797;
     abandon by removal the aboveground appurtenances at each
wellhead;
     abandon-in-place about 2,400 feet of associated 6- to 12-
inch-diameter well line/pipeline; and

     remove all surface connections and cut and cap the
pipeline ends.
    The Commission mailed a copy of the Notice of Availability of the
EA to federal, state, and local government representatives and
agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups;
Native American tribes; potentially affected landowners and other
interested individuals and groups; and libraries in the Project area.
The EA is only available in electronic format. It may be viewed and
downloaded from the FERC's website (www.ferc.gov), on the natural gas
environmental documents page (https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/natural-gas/environment/environmental-documents). In addition, the EA
may be accessed by using the eLibrary link on the FERC's website. Click

Export and Reexport Controls to Rwanda and United Nations
Sanctions Under the Export Administration Regulations

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: In this final rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)
amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement United
Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1823 (2008), which, among
other things, terminated sanctions against Rwanda concerning ``arms and
related materiel'' imposed in 1994 pursuant to UNSCR 918. This rule
includes conforming changes in the EAR related to the termination of
the United Nations embargo on ``arms and related materiel'' against
Rwanda, including the removal of machetes from the Commerce Control
List (CCL). Further, BIS amends Part 746 (Embargoes and Other Special
Controls) of the EAR to require a license to export or reexport certain
items to countries subject to United Nations Security Council arms
embargoes. A presumptive denial policy will apply to applications to
export or reexport items that are

controlled for UN reasons and that would contravene a United Nations
Security Council arms embargo.

DATES: This rule is effective July 23, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The arms embargo against Rwanda was initially imposed through
United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 918 on May 17, 1994,
and was continued through subsequent resolutions, including UNSCR 1011
on August 16, 1995. The embargo was implemented in the EAR on August 8,
1994 (59 FR 40235), most recently in Sec.  746.8 of the EAR. The United
Nations Security Council terminated the arms embargo against Rwanda on
July 10, 2008, via UNSCR 1823. Accordingly, this rule removes the
United Nations Embargo (UN) controls on Rwanda by removing Rwanda from
Part 746. BIS also makes conforming changes related to the removal of
UN controls on Rwanda in Sec.  732.3, Supplement No. 1 to Part 738 and
Supplement No.1 to Part 774 of the EAR.
    One of the conforming changes is the removal of machetes from
Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 0A988. Machetes were added
to the CCL when BIS in 1994 (then called the Bureau of Export
Administration) implemented the United Nations Security Council arms
embargo against Rwanda by way of Executive Order 12918 (59 FR 40235
(Aug. 8, 1994)). Because this rule removes the UN controls imposed
against Rwanda and because machetes were added to the CCL to address
concerns with their use in Rwanda in particular, BIS is removing
machetes from the CCL.
    In this final rule, BIS also amends Sec.  746.1(b) to require a
license for the export or reexport of items controlled for ``UN''
reasons to countries subject to United Nations Security Council arms
embargoes. Paragraph (b)(2) lists all the countries subject to United
Nations Security Council arms embargoes. Paragraph (b)(3) states that,
to the extent consistent with United States national security and
foreign policy interests, and pursuant to revised paragraph (b) of
Sec.  746.1, BIS will not approve applications to export or reexport
items with a UN reason for control to countries subject to United
Nations Security Council arms embargoes if such authorizations would be
contrary to the relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions.
Paragraph (b)(4) provides that the availability of license exceptions
to countries listed in Sec.  746.1(b)(2) is restricted to License
Exception GOV Sec.  740.11(b)(2)(i) and (ii).
    The rule also clarifies the UN embargo provisions for Iraq and
North Korea under the EAR by including cross-references to Sec.  746.3
(Iraq) and Sec.  746.4 (North Korea).

Export Administration Act

    Since August 21, 2001, the Export Administration Act of 1979, as
amended, has been in lapse. However, the President has continued the
EAR in effect under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50
U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001
(3 CFR, 2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), which has been extended by successive
Presidential Notices, the most recent being that of August 12, 2011 (76
Fed. Reg. 50661 (Aug. 16, 2011)). BIS continues to carry out the
provisions of the Act, as appropriate and to the extent permitted by
law, pursuant to Executive Order 13222.
    This action is taken after consultation with the Secretary of
State. BIS submitted a foreign policy report to the Congress indicating
the imposition of new foreign policy controls on June 28, 2012.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This rule has been determined to be not significant for
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person is
required to respond to nor be subject to a penalty for failure to
comply with a collection of information, subject to the requirements of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (PRA),
unless that collection of information displays a currently valid Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number. This rule involves a
collection of information subject to the PRA. This collection has been
approved by the Office of Management and Budget under control number
0694-0088, ``Multi-Purpose Application,'' which carries a burden hour
estimate of 58 minutes to prepare and submit form BIS-748. Total burden
hours associated with the PRA and OMB control number 0694-0088 are not
expected to increase as a result of this rule.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined under Executive Order 13132.
    4. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1), the provisions of the
Administrative Procedure Act requiring notice of proposed rulemaking,
the opportunity for public participation, and a delay in effective
date, are inapplicable because this regulation involves a military or
foreign affairs function of the United States. (See 5 U.S.C.
553(a)(1)). This final rule implements U.S. multilateral commitments
concerning United Nations Security Council arms embargoes. The
sanctions against Rwanda were initially implemented in part to fulfill
U.S. obligations to implement the United Nations Security Council's
arms embargo against Rwanda. Consistent with the United Nations
Security Council's actions lifting the arms embargo and U.S.
obligations thereunder, BIS is removing the sanctions imposed against
Rwanda under the EAR. In addition, in this rule, BIS amends the EAR to
require a license to export or reexport certain items to countries
subject to United Nations arms embargoes. To the extent consistent with
United States national security and foreign policy interests, BIS will
not approve such license applications if such authorizations would be
contrary to relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions. In
light of United States commitments, BIS implements this approach
pursuant to the existing licensing provisions and policies set out in
Part 742 of the EAR and pursuant to revised Sec.  746.1(b), which sets
out countries subject to United Nations Security Council arms
embargoes. No other law requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking
and an opportunity for public comment be given for this rule. Because a
notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are
not required to be given for this rule by 5 U.S.C. 553, or by any other
law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5
U.S.C. 601 et seq., are not applicable. Therefore, this regulation is
issued in final form and is made effective immediately upon
publication.

September 12, 2006.
    This constitutes notice, in accordance with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), of
the receipt of prohibited and exempt off-the-record communications.
    Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222, September 22, 1999) requires Commission
decisional employees, who make or receive a prohibited or exempt off-
the-record communication relevant to the merits of a contested
proceeding, to deliver to the Secretary of the Commission, a copy of
the communication, if written, or a summary of the substance of any
oral communication.
    Prohibited communications are included in a public, non-decisional
file associated with, but not a part of, the decisional record of the
proceeding. Unless the Commission determines that the prohibited
communication and any responses thereto should become a part of the
decisional record, the prohibited off-the-record communication will not
be considered by the Commission in reaching its decision. Parties to a
proceeding may seek the opportunity to respond to any facts or
contentions made in a prohibited off-the-record communication, and may
request that the Commission place the prohibited communication and
responses thereto in the decisional record. The Commission will grant
such a request only when it determines that fairness so requires. Any
person identified below as having made a prohibited off-the-record
communication shall serve the document on all parties listed on the
official service list for the applicable proceeding in accordance with
Rule 2010, 18 CFR 385.2010.
    Exempt off-the-record communications are included in the decisional
record of the proceeding, unless the communication was with a
cooperating agency as described by 40 CFR 1501.6, made under 18 CFR
385.2201(e)(1)(v).
    The following is a list of off-the-record communications recently

the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information
to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated electronic, mechanical or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g.,
allowing electronic submission of responses. The EPA will consider the
comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR
package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval. At that
time, the EPA will issue another Federal Register notice to announce
the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: Title V of the CAA requires states to develop and
implement a program for issuing operating permits to all sources that
fall under any Act definition of ``major'' and certain other non-major
sources that are subject to Federal air quality regulations. The Act
further requires EPA to develop regulations that establish the minimum
requirements for those state operating permits programs and to oversee
implementation of the state programs.

The EPA regulations setting forth requirements for the state operating
permit program are found at 40 CFR part 70. The part 70 program is
designed to be implemented primarily by state, local and tribal
permitting authorities in all areas where they have jurisdiction.
    In order to receive an operating permit for a major or other source
subject to the permitting program, the applicant must conduct the
necessary research, perform the appropriate analyses and prepare the
permit application with documentation to demonstrate that its facility
meets all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. Specific
activities and requirements are listed and described in the Supporting
Statement for the 40 CFR part 70 ICR.
    Under 40 CFR part 70, state, local and tribal permitting
authorities review permit applications, provide for public review of
proposed permits, issue permits based on consideration of all technical
factors and public input and review information submittals required of
sources during the term of the permit. Also, under 40 CFR part 70, the
EPA reviews certain actions of the permitting authorities and provides
oversight of the programs to ensure that they are being adequately
implemented and enforced. Consequently, information prepared and
submitted by sources is essential for sources to receive permits, and
for federal, state, local and tribal permitting authorities to
adequately review the permit applications and thereby properly
administer and manage the program.
    Information that is collected is handled according to EPA's
policies set forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B--
Confidentiality of Business Information (see 40 CFR part 2). See also
section 114(c) of the Act.
    Respondents/affected entities: Industrial plants (sources); state,
local and tribal permitting authorities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (see 40 CFR part 70).
    Estimated number of respondents: 15,780 sources and 116 state,
local and tribal permitting authorities.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 5,168,815 hours (per year). Burden is
defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $326,493,677 (per year). There are no
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in Estimates: There is a decrease of 144,871 hours per year
for the estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This decrease is due to updated estimates of the
number of sources and permits subject to the part 70 program, rather
than any change in federal mandates.

for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power
Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the San Francisco River
Pumped Storage Project to be located on the San Francisco River in
Greenlee County, Arizona and Catron County, New Mexico. The sole
purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit
holder priority to file a license application during the permit term. A

owned by others without the owners' express permission.
    The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) A new 180-
foot-high, 3,000-foot-long upper dam impounding a 200-acre reservoir;
(2) a new 200-foot-high, 650-foot-long lower dam impounding a 900-acre
reservoir; (3) two new 12,000-foot-long, 32-foot-diameter penstocks;
(4) a new reinforced concrete powerhouse containing five 250-megawatt
turbine-generator units, for a total installed capacity of 1,250
megawatts; (5) a new 1-mile-long, 345 kilovolt transmission line; and
(6) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have an average
annual generation of 3,400 gigawatt-hours.
