SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Funding Opportunity Description

RFA-FD-13-039

93.103

A. Background

    PAHO is the Regional Office for the Americas of the World Health
Organization (WHO). WHO has responsibility for helping to ensure access
to essential medical products of assured safety, quality, and efficacy
within its 193 member states. It does so in three primary areas: (1)
Setting global norms and standards; (2) articulating evidence-based
policy options, including those relating to regulatory systems
performance; and (3) providing technical support to national and
regional regulatory authorities and governments. These activities help
to strengthen regulatory systems which, in this era of globalization,
where the supply chain of medicines has become a global network, and as
national, regional, and global health programs work to scale up access
to medicines and health products, strong regulatory systems, are
imperative.
    The necessary constituents of a medical products regulatory system
have been defined by PAHO and WHO. They include regulatory frameworks,
marketing authorization, import/export control and postmarket
surveillance, licensing of manufacturers, inspections, laboratories,
pharmacovigilance, clinical trials, and vaccine lot release.
Specifically, PAHO helps to strengthen medical products regulatory
systems through activities that include disseminating quality norms and
standards, facilitating the exchange of regulatory information,
evaluating regulatory authorities, providing training and technical
assistance, distributing scientific materials and information on
aspects of regulation, strengthening regional monitoring and
surveillance for falsified and substandard products (including
supporting national pharmacovigilance programs), and building capacity
as a component of WHO's prequalification programs.
    In recent years, OIP/FDA has been actively engaged with PAHO on a
number of areas related to regulatory systems strengthening. OIP/FDA
and PAHO are currently involved in a 4-year cooperative agreement which
began in September 2010 that promotes medical product regulatory system
strengthening in the Americas. The centerpiece of the agreement is the
development of the Regional Platform for Access and Innovation of
Health Technologies (PRAIS), an electronic platform for regulatory
exchange. The site was launched by PAHO in 2012 and the cooperative
agreement is managed by OIP, with additional strategic and technical
guidance provided by a steering group of FDA Center subject matter
experts. PRAIS includes features such as communities of practice, where
regulators can share information and engage in real-time dialogue
around regulatory issues, and an ``observatory'', where information on
the basic structures and functions of participating regulatory
authorities is housed.
    PAHO envisions PRAIS to be a cornerstone of its regulatory system
strengthening activities in the Americas. Beyond the immediate
functionalities, PRAIS is also being used to prioritize and coordinate
activities related to the Pan American Network for Drug Regulatory
Harmonization. In addition, PRAIS is being used to develop regional
models for regulatory systems; for example, data from the observatory
have been used in research to assess strengths and weaknesses of
regulatory systems in the Caribbean towards a regional system. Another
initiative related to PRAIS is a secure platform for sharing non-public
information, called PRAISsec, and FDA has been engaged in its
governance and assessing agency needs and requirements. At this time,
the platform is not yet built and no non-public information has been
shared. A next phase of development for PRAIS may include global scale-
up, which will enhance the platform's utility to other parts of the
world that are in critical need of regulatory information exchange and
capacity building tools.
    OIP/FDA entered a similar cooperative agreement on regulatory
systems strengthening with WHO in fiscal year (FY) 2014. Activities
include work that WHO is undertaking at the global level, including
advancement of a member state mechanism on substandard, spurious,
falsified, falsely-labeled, and counterfeit medical products (SSFFC),
enhancement of another FDA-supported cooperative agreement to develop a
global monitoring system for SSFFC medical products, and specific work
to improve regulation of active pharmaceutical ingredients among
regulators in WHO's member states.

B. Research Objectives

    The cooperative agreement announced in this FOA represents the
further expansion of well-established collaborations between OIP/FDA
and PAHO in support of data-driven and science-based public health
strategies and approaches. The objective is to build upon existing
cooperation to foster regulatory collaboration and

strengthen regulatory capacity throughout the Americas in ways that
provide benefit and contribution to the FDA regulatory and public
health mission. This partnership aligns with FDA's domestic and global
goals of addressing medical product safety and quality challenges.
    This cooperative agreement will support collaboration and
investigation in the following areas:
1. Developing and Applying Regional/Global Norms and Standards
     Enable the sharing of scientific findings and data through
expert meetings and technical consultations;
     assist member states in the implementation and subsequent
evaluation of internationally-recognized standards and guidelines, e.g.
WHO guidelines and standards and those emerging from standards
development venues such as the International Conference on
Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of
Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH);
     utilize PAHO's convening power to engage with relevant
stakeholders on science-based norms and standards; and
     facilitate the alignment and convergence of standards
between PAHO, other regions, and/or global bodies.
2. Researching Regulatory Systems Performance
     Contribute to the knowledge base of the current state of
medical product regulation globally, including challenges, risks, and
emerging trends, and making the business case for investments in
regulatory systems; and
     enable and/or further strengthen the development of data/
information systems as sources of inputs for evidence-based regulatory
decisions and actions and enhanced knowledge management systems,
coalitions, and networks.
3. Providing Technical Support to Regulatory Systems Strengthening
Efforts and Expand Awareness of the Role of Regulatory Systems in the
Broader Global Health Development Framework
     Enable the strengthening of regulatory systems at the
regional and global levels in such critical domains as: Regulatory
frameworks; marketing authorization; import/export control and
postmarket surveillance; inspections; laboratories; pharmacovigilance;
clinical trials and vaccine lot release; staff development and
training, including the professionalization of the regulatory
workforce; monitoring and evaluation of product quality; inspection and
surveillance of products throughout the supply chain; and risk
assessment, analysis, and management; and
     contribute strategies to expand the knowledge and
awareness of the essential role of regulatory systems within the
broader global health and development frameworks, including ways that
can leverage existing initiatives, investments and partnerships or
catalyze new ones.

C. Eligibility Information

    This is a single source cooperative agreement. PAHO is eligible to
apply for this award. PAHO is the Regional Office for the Americas of
WHO. WHO has responsibility for helping to ensure access to essential
medical products of assured safety, quality, and efficacy within its

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-60088; File No. SR-NYSE-2009-56]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To
Adopt a Fee for Use of a Hand Held Device Configured To Provide Only
Opening and Closing Order Imbalance Data

June 10, 2009.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on June 5, 2009, the New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II
and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to adopt a $250 monthly fee for use of an
NYSE e-Broker[supreg] Hand Held Device that is configured to provide
access only to opening and closing order imbalance data. The text of
the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site
(http://www.nyse.com), at the Exchange's Office of the Secretary, and
at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The e-Broker[supreg] Hand Held Device (``Hand Held''), which is
proprietary to the Exchange, provides Exchange floor brokers with
messaging capability, the ability to receive orders electronically
while on the floor of the Exchange, and access to market data. The
Exchange charges an annual fee of $5,000 per Hand Held. The Exchange
now proposes to make available a reconfigured Hand Held that provides
access to opening and closing order imbalance data, but without any of
the other market data or other capabilities normally provided by Hand
Helds. With effect from July 1, 2009, the Exchange proposes to charge a
monthly fee of $250.00 for each Hand Held that is configured to provide
only opening and closing order imbalance data. Opening and closing
order imbalance data is currently available on the trading floor only
to floor brokers with access to the full service Hand Held. By making
the reconfigured Hand Held available, the Exchange is enabling non-
broker employees of member organizations, such as floor clerks, to have
access to this information while working on the trading floor.\3\ Floor
clerks interact with customers on behalf of their Member Organization
employers. Part of the service floor clerks provide to those customers
is to act as a source of current information about market developments.
Consequently, floor clerks need to have access to all relevant
information about market activity, including opening and closing trade
imbalances. Currently, floor clerks can access opening and closing
trade imbalance information either by speaking to a floor trader who
has a full-service Hand Held or by accessing Bloomberg, which requires
the firm to maintain a costly subscription. The proposed reconfigured
Hand Held will create efficiencies as floor brokers will no longer have
to devote time to communicating trade imbalance data to floor clerks.
It will also provide a low cost alternative to the expense of
subscribing to Bloomberg for the sole purpose of accessing opening and
closing trade imbalance data.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ While it is believed that Bloomberg is the only market data
vendor that currently provides its customers with opening and
closing order imbalances data, the Exchange provides this
information feed to all market data vendors for their distribution
to subscribers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the provisions of Section 6 \4\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \5\ in general and Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \6\ in
particular, in that it is designed to provide for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among its members
and other persons using its facilities. The Exchange believes that the
proposal does not constitute an inequitable allocation of dues, fees
and other charges as all Member Organizations will be able to avail of
the Hand Held service on the same terms.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

    The foregoing proposed rule change is effective upon filing
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2)
thereunder.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

Electronic Comments

Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA)

boundaries or zone designations, and/or regulatory floodways
(hereinafter referred to as flood hazard determinations) as shown on
the indicated Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) for each of the communities
listed in the table below are finalized. Each LOMR revises the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and in some cases the Flood Insurance
Study (FIS) reports, currently in effect for the listed communities.
The flood hazard determinations modified by each LOMR will be used to
calculate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and their
contents.

DATES: The effective date for each LOMR is indicated in the table
below.

ADDRESSES: Each LOMR is available for inspection at both the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the table below and online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov.

1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq., and with 44 CFR part 65.
    For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is
shown and must be used for all new policies and renewals.
    The new or modified flood hazard information is the basis for the
floodplain management measures that the community is required either to
adopt or to show evidence of being already in effect in order to remain
qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
    This new or modified flood hazard information, 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.
    This new or modified flood hazard determinations are used to meet
the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and also are used to

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. PF13-14-000]

Golden Pass Products, LLC, Golden Pass Pipeline, LLC; Notice of
Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Planned Golden
Pass LNG Export Project and Golden Pass Export Pipeline Project,
Request for Comments on Environmental Issues, and Notice of Public
Scoping Meeting

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts that could result from the
construction and operation of the Golden Pass Liquefied Natural Gas
(LNG) Project and Golden Pass Export Pipeline Project, collectively
called the Golden Pass LNG Export Project (Project) in Texas and
Louisiana. The Project has been proposed by Golden Pass Products, LLC
and Golden Pass Pipeline, LLC, collectively called Golden Pass. The EA
will be used by the Commission in its decision-making process to
determine whether construction and operation of 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 during the scoping process will
help the Commission staff determine what issues need to be evaluated in
the EA. The Commission staff will also use the scoping process to help
determine whether preparation of an environmental impact statement is
more appropriate for this Project based upon the potential significance
of the anticipated levels of impact. Please note that the scoping
period will close on October 19, 2013. This is not your only public
input opportunity; please refer to the Environmental Review Process
flow chart Appendix 1.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The appendices referenced in this notice are not being
printed 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<PHONE_NUMBER>. For instructions on
connecting to eLibrary, refer to the last page of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Comments may be submitted in written form or verbally. Further
details on how to submit written comments are in the Public
Participation section of this notice. In lieu of, or in addition to
sending written comments, you are invited to attend the public scoping
meetings listed below.

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

    Golden Pass representatives will be present one hour before each
meeting to answer questions.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this Project. State and local government officials are
asked to notify their constituents of this planned project and
encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a company
representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the planned 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, Golden Pass could initiate condemnation
proceedings where compensation would be determined 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 Web site (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.

Involvement of the U.S. Department of Energy

    The FERC is the lead federal agency in preparing the EA to satisfy
the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Fossil Energy, has agreed to
participate as a cooperating agency in the preparation of the EA to
satisfy its NEPA responsibilities.
    Under section 3 of the Natural Gas Act of 1938, as amended (NGA),
15 U.S.C. 717b, DOE would authorize applications to export natural gas,
including LNG, to countries with which the United States has not
entered into a free trade agreement providing for national treatment
for trade in natural gas, unless it finds that the proposed export
would not be consistent with the public interest. For the Project, the
purpose and need for DOE action is to respond to Golden Pass'
application filed with DOE on October 26, 2012 (FE Docket No. 12-156-
LNG), seeking authorization to export up to 15.6 million metric tons
per annum (MTPA), which is equivalent to 740 billion standard cubic
feet per year, of domestic natural gas as LNG for a 25-year period from
the Golden Pass facilities in Jefferson County, Texas, commencing the
earlier of the date of first export or seven years from the date that
the requested authorization is issued. DOE authorization of Golden
Pass' application would allow the export of LNG to any country: (1)
With which the United States does not have a free trade agreement
requiring the national treatment for trade in natural gas; (2) that
has, or in the future develops, the capacity to import LNG via ocean-
going carrier; and (3) with which trade is not prohibited by U.S. law
or policy.

Summary of the Planned Project

    Golden Pass plans to develop its existing LNG terminal in Jefferson
County, Texas to enable the terminal to liquefy natural gas and export
the LNG. The existing Golden Pass Pipeline extends from the terminal
through Jefferson, Orange, and Newton Counties, Texas into Calcasieu
Parish, Louisiana; Golden Pass plans to add approximately 8 miles of
pipeline loop.\2\ The general locations of the planned pipeline and LNG
export terminal are depicted in the figure included as Appendix 2.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ A pipeline loop is constructed parallel to an existing
pipeline to increase capacity.
    \3\ The appendices referenced in this notice will not appear in
the Federal Register. Copies of the 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<PHONE_NUMBER>. For instructions on
connecting to eLibrary, refer to the last page of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Golden Pass LNG Export Project would include construction and
operation of the following facilities:
     Three liquefaction trains;
     a 200-250 megawatt self-generation power plant;
     modifications to marine and truck loading facilities;
     approximately 8 miles of 30- to 36-inch-diameter pipeline
in two non-contiguous loops, connecting to existing pipelines in
Jefferson County, Texas and Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana;
     up to four compressor stations providing 100,000 total
horsepower to provide bi-directional flow capability to the existing
Golden Pass Pipeline in Jefferson and Orange Counties, Texas and
Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana; and
     support facilities, such as buildings for maintenance and
storage.
    Golden Pass plans to begin Project construction in mid-2015 if all
required permits, certificates, and authorizations are obtained.

Land Requirements for Construction

    Golden Pass is still in the planning phase for the project, and
workspace requirements have not been finalized. The export LNG
facilities would be within the existing terminal site and most of the
planned pipeline route parallels existing pipeline, utility, or road
rights-of-way. The planned pipeline construction would impact
approximately 200 acres of land temporarily and 75 acres permanently
and the construction of compressor stations would impact 60 acres
temporarily and 30 acres permanently.

The EA Process

    The 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. All comments received will be considered during the
preparation of the EA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ ``Us,'' ``we,'' 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 planned Project under these
general headings:
     Geology and soils;
     water resources;
     wetlands and vegetation;
     fish and wildlife;
     threatened and endangered species;
     land use, recreation, and visual resources;
     air quality and noise;
     cultural resources;
     socioeconomics;
     reliability and safety;
     engineering and design material; and
     cumulative environmental impacts.
    We will also evaluate possible alternatives to the planned Project
or portions of the Project, including the no action alternative, and
make recommendations on how to minimize or avoid impacts on affected
resources.
    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 review,
we have begun to contact some federal and state agencies to discuss
their involvement in the scoping process and the preparation of the EA.
In addition, representatives from FERC participated in the public open
houses sponsored by Golden Pass in the Project area in July and August
2013 to explain the environmental review process to interested
stakeholders.
    Our independent analysis of the issues will be presented in the EA.
If the Commission staff determines the preparation of an EA is
appropriate, the EA will be placed in the public record and be
published and distributed to the public. A comment period will be
allotted when the EA is noticed. We will consider all comments on the
EA before we make our recommendations to the Commission. To ensure your
comments are considered, please carefully follow the instructions in
the Public Participation section beginning on page 6.
    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction by law
and/or special expertise with respect to the environmental issues
related to this Project to formally cooperate with us in the
preparation of the environmental document.\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. Currently, the Department of Energy, the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, and the U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety Administration have expressed their
intention to participate as a cooperating agency in the preparation of
the environmental document to satisfy its NEPA responsibilities related
to these projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Council on Environmental Quality regulations addressing
cooperating agency responsibilities are at 40 CFR 1501.6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consultations Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act

    In accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
regulations for Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act,
we are using this notice to initiate consultation with the Texas
Historical Commission and the Office of the State of Louisiana Cultural
Development, which have been given the roles of the State Historic
Preservation Officers (SHPO) for their respective states, 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 in consultation with the SHPOs as the Project is
further developed. Our environmental document for the Project will
document our findings of the impacts on historic properties and
summarize the status of consultations under Section 106.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation 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 for Historic Places.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently Identified Environmental Issues

    We have already identified many issues that we think deserve
attention based on a preliminary review of the Project site and
facilities and information provided by Golden Pass, comments made to us
at Golden Pass' open houses, and preliminary consultations with other
agencies. The following preliminary list of issues may be changed based
on your comments and our analysis:
     Evaluation of temporary and permanent impacts on wetlands
and the development of appropriate mitigation, including flood
protection;
     potential impacts on fish and wildlife habitat, including
potential impacts on federally and state-listed threatened and
endangered species;
     potential visual effects of the aboveground facilities on
surrounding areas;
     potential impacts and potential benefits of construction
workforce on local housing, infrastructure, public services, and
economy;
     impacts on air quality and noise associated with
construction and operation of the Project; and
     public safety and hazards associated with the transport of
natural gas and LNG.

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 minimize 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
the Commission receives them in Washington, DC on or before October 19,
2013.
    For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to submit
your comments to the Commission. In all instances, please reference the
Project docket number (PF13-14-000) with your submission. The
Commission encourages electronic filing of comments and has expert
staff available to assist you at<PHONE_NUMBER> or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    1. You can file your comments electronically using the eComment
feature located on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the
link to Documents and Filings. This is an easy method for interested
persons to submit brief, text-only comments on a project;
    2. You can file your comments electronically using the eFiling
feature located on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the
link to Documents and Filings. With eFiling, you can provide comments
in a variety of formats by attaching them as a file with your
submission. New eFiling users must first create an account by clicking
on ``eRegister.'' You must select the type of filing you are making. If
you are filing a comment on a particular project, please select
``Comment on a Filing''; or
    3. You can attend and provide either oral or written comments at a
public scoping meeting. A transcript of each meeting will be made so
that your comments will be accurately recorded and included in the
public record; or
    4. You can file a paper copy of your comments by mailing them to
the following address: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC
20426.

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
planned Project.
    When an EA is published for distribution, 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 CD
version, or would like to remove your name from the mailing list,
please return the attached Information Request (Appendix 3).

Becoming an Intervenor

    Once Golden Pass files its applications with the Commission, 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
