ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes. This proposed AD
was prompted by reports that during the assembly of structural elements
on some airplanes, lack of established procedures and tools caused
boring and torqueing defects to be present at some locations. This
proposed AD would require a detailed visual inspection of bore holes
for defects, replacement of bolts, and repair if necessary. We are
proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by February 6,
2017.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2016-0116, dated June 16, 2016 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Dassault
Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes. The MCAI states:

    During the assembly of structural elements on some aeroplanes,
lack of established procedures and tools caused boring and torqueing
defects to be present at some locations on the foot of frame (FR) 36
and FR39. Dassault Aviation (DA) identified the individual
aeroplanes that are potentially affected by this production
deficiency. Quality control actions have been implemented to ensure
that new aeroplanes, from s/n 183, cannot be affected by this
defect.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, would adversely
affect the structural integrity of the aeroplane.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires [a
detailed visual] inspection of bore holes [for defects] and
replacement of bolts at FR36 and FR39 and, depending on findings,
accomplishment of a repair.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, DA published Service
Bulletin (SB) F7X-379 to provide corrective action instructions.

    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-2016-
9504.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Dassault Service Bulletin 7X-379, dated February 29,
2016. The service information describes procedures for a detailed
visual inspection of bore holes at FR36 and FR39 for defects,
replacement of bolts at FR36 and FR39, and repair. 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 the ADDRESSES section.

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 41 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
               Action                        Labor cost           Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspection and Replacement..........  6 work-hours x $85 per              $26             $536          $21,976
                                       hour = $510.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition repair specified in 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.
    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.

Discussion

    We have received reports of cracking of various structures in The
Boeing Company Model DC-9-81 (MD-81), DC-9-82 (MD-82), and DC-9-83 (MD-
83) airplanes at the cant station 1463 bulkhead, and the Model DC-9-87
(MD-87) airplanes at the cant station 1254 bulkhead. One incident of
cracking was discovered during a heavy maintenance visit on an airplane
with 63,480 total flight hours, and 45,809 total flight cycles. The
cracks were in the upper left area of the bulkhead, between longerons
L-2 and L-3, in the frame web, horizontal stiffeners, lower frame cap,
rear spar cap, and spar cap web. An analysis has determined that the
operational and limit loads cannot duplicate this condition and the
root cause is suspected to be the result of a high load event(s). This
condition, if not corrected, could result in reduced structural
integrity of the airplane.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD80-53A316, dated
December 15, 2016. The service information describes procedures for a
detailed inspection on the left and right sides of the forward and aft
surfaces of cant station 1463 bulkhead and cant station 1254 bulkhead
for cracking in the upper caps, upper cap doublers, bulkhead webs and
doublers, stiffeners, lower caps, and vertical stabilizer rear spar
caps and webs, between longerons L-11L through L-11R, and corrective
actions. 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 the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of these same type
designs.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information described previously, except as discussed
under ``Differences Between this Proposed AD and the Service
Information.'' For information on the procedures and compliance times,
see this service information at http://www.regulations.gov by searching
for and locating Docket No. FAA-2017-0503.
    The phrase ``corrective actions'' is used in this proposed AD.
Corrective actions correct or address any condition found. Corrective
actions in an AD could include, for example, repairs.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD80-53A316, dated December 15, 2016,
specifies to contact the manufacturer for certain instructions, but
this proposed AD would require using repair methods, modification
deviations, and alteration deviations in one of the following ways:
     In accordance with a method that we approve; or
     Using data that meet the certification basis of the
airplane, and that have been approved by the Boeing Commercial
Airplanes Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) whom we have
authorized to make those findings.
    Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD80-53A316, dated December 15, 2016,
specifies doing the inspection at cant station 1463 bulkhead for Model
MD-88 airplanes. However, Model MD-88 airplanes are similar in design
to Model DC-9-87 (MD-87) airplanes, and should instead be inspected at
cant station 1254 bulkhead. Therefore, this proposed AD specifies that
the proposed actions for Model MD-88 airplanes be accomplished using
the Accomplishment Instructions for Model DC-9-87 (MD-87) airplanes in
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD80-53A316, dated December 15, 2016.
This difference has been coordinated with Boeing.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 361 airplanes of U.S.
registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per      Cost on U.S.
               Action                         Labor cost            Parts cost        product        operators

                                      = $255.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in 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.
    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.

Notice of Availability of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
Louisiana Trustee Implementation Group Final Supplemental Restoration
Plan and Environmental Assessment for the Lake Charles Science Center
and Educational Complex Project Modification and Finding of No
Significant Impact

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) and the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Federal and State natural
resource trustee agencies for the Louisiana Trustee Implementation
Group (Louisiana TIG) have prepared the Final Supplemental Restoration
Plan and Environmental Assessment for the Lake Charles Science Center
and Educational Complex Project Modification (Final Supplemental RP/
EA). The Final Supplemental RP/EA describes and, in conjunction with
the associated Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), selects the
modified Lake Charles Science Center and Educational Complex (SCEC)
project considered by the Louisiana TIG to compensate for recreational
use services lost as a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The
Louisiana TIG evaluated project alternatives under criteria set forth
in the OPA natural resource damage assessment (NRDA) regulations, and
evaluated the environmental consequences of the alternatives in
accordance with the NEPA. The selected project is consistent with the
restoration alternatives selected in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill
Final Programmatic Damage Assessment and Restoration Plan/Programmatic
Environmental Impact Statement (PDARP/PEIS). The Federal Trustees of
the Louisiana TIG have determined that implementation of the Final
Supplemental RP/EA is not a major federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human environment within the context of
the NEPA. They have concluded a FONSI is appropriate, and, therefore,
an Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared. The purpose of
this notice is to inform the public of the approval and availability of
the Final Supplemental RP/EA and FONSI.

ADDRESSES: Obtaining Documents: You may download the Final Supplemental
RP/EA at any of the following sites:

 http://www.gulfspillrestoration.noaa.gov
 http://www.la-dwh.com

    Alternatively, you may request a CD of the Final Supplemental RP/EA
(see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT). You may also view the document
at any of the public facilities listed at http://www.gulfspillrestoration.noaa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Introduction

    On April 20, 2010, the mobile offshore drilling unit Deepwater
Horizon, which was being used to drill a well for BP Exploration and
Production, Inc. (BP), in the Macondo prospect (Mississippi Canyon 252-
MC252), experienced a significant explosion, fire, and subsequent
sinking in the Gulf of Mexico, resulting in an unprecedented volume of
oil and other discharges from the rig and from the wellhead on the
seabed. The Deepwater Horizon oil spill is the largest off shore oil
spill in U.S. history, discharging millions of barrels of oil over a
period of 87 days.
    The Trustees conducted the natural resource damage assessment for
the Deepwater Horizon oil spill under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (33
United States Code 2701 et seq.). Under the OPA, federal and state
agencies act as trustees on behalf of the public to assess natural
resource injuries and losses, and to determine the actions required to
compensate the public for those injuries and losses. The OPA further
instructs the designated trustees to develop and implement a plan for
the restoration, rehabilitation, replacement, or acquisition of the
equivalent of the injured natural resources under their trusteeship,
including the loss of use and services from those resources from the
time of injury until the time of restoration to baseline (the resource
quality and conditions that would exist if the spill had not occurred)
is complete.
    The Deepwater Horizon oil spill Trustees are:
     U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA);
     U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), as represented by
the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Bureau
of Land Management;
     National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), on
behalf of the U.S. Department of Commerce;
     U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA);
     State of Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration
Authority (CPRA), Oil Spill Coordinator's Office (LOSCO), Department of
Environmental Quality (LDEQ), Department of Wildlife and Fisheries
(LDWF), and Department of Natural Resources (LDNR);
     State of Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality;
     State of Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural
Resources and Geological Survey of Alabama;
     State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection
and Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission; and
     State of Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, General Land
Office, and Commission on Environmental Quality.
    On April 4, 2016, the Trustees reached and finalized a settlement
of their natural resource damage claims with BP in a Consent Decree
approved by the United States District Court for the Eastern District
of Louisiana. Pursuant to that Consent Decree, restoration projects in
the Louisiana Restoration Area are now chosen and managed by the
Louisiana TIG. The Louisiana TIG is composed of the following Trustees:
CPRA, LOSCO, LDEQ, LDWF, LDNR, EPA, DOI, NOAA, USDA.

Background

    The original scope and design of the Lake Charles SCEC project were
evaluated in the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Louisiana TIG Final
Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment #2: Provide and Enhance
Recreational Opportunities (Final RP/EA #2), which was published on
July 20, 2018. As described in the Final RP/EA #2, the Lake Charles
SCEC project would enhance recreational opportunities by providing
indoor and outdoor public visitation and outreach components, including
fisheries extension, access, outreach, and education to the public.
Following release of the Final RP/EA #2, the City of Lake Charles
requested that the Louisiana TIG consider collocating the Lake Charles
SCEC with the City's planned Lake Charles Children's Museum (LCCM). The
Louisiana TIG prepared a Draft Supplemental Restoration Plan and
Environmental Assessment for the Lake Charles SCEC Project Modification
(Draft Supplemental RP/EA) to evaluate potential revisions to the Lake
Charles SCEC project, to inform the public about potential
modifications to the project, and to seek public comment. A Notice of
Availability of the Draft Supplemental RP/EA was published in the
Federal Register on April 19, 2019. The Louisiana TIG hosted a public
meeting on May 8, 2019, in Lake Charles, and the public comment period
for the Draft Supplemental RP/EA closed on May 20, 2019. The Louisiana
TIG considered the public comments received on the Draft Supplemental
RP/EA, which informed the Louisiana TIG's analyses and selection of the
modified Lake Charles SCEC project in the Final Supplemental RP/EA. A
summary of the public comments received and the Trustees' responses to
those comments are included in Section 7 of the Final Supplemental RP/
EA.

Overview of the Final Supplemental RP/EA

    The Final Supplemental RP/EA evaluates modifications to the Lake
Charles SCEC project and considers alternatives, consistent with the
purpose and need of the original project. Alternatives considered
include the collocation of the Lake Charles SCEC and LCCM with
variations of indoor and outdoor components to support recreational and
educational opportunities, as well as a No Action alternative. In the
Final Supplemental RP/EA, the Louisiana TIG selects project Alternative
C: Revised Location with Fishing Pier. The selected alternative would
collocate the Lake Charles SCEC with the planned LCCM on the north
shore of Lake Charles. The modified project would include immersive
exhibits, aquaria, touch tanks, outdoor walking trails, and a
recreational fishing pier over Lake Charles. In the Final Supplemental
RP/EA, the Louisiana TIG presents to the public its plan to continue
the process of restoring recreational use services lost in the
Louisiana Restoration Area as a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil
spill. The total estimated cost of the selected project, as modified,
is $7 million. Additional restoration planning for the Louisiana
Restoration Area will continue.

    The documents comprising the Administrative Record for the Final
Supplemental RP/EA can be viewed electronically at https://www.doi.gov/deepwaterhorizon/adminrecord.

Authority

    The authority for this action is the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (33
U.S.C. 2701 et seq.), its implementing NRDA regulations at 15 CFR part
990, and the NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP11-10-000]

Liberty Natural Gas, LLC; Notice of Application

October 26, 2010.
    On October 14, 2010, Liberty Natural Gas, LLC (Liberty) filed with
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) an application
under section 7 of the Natural Gas Act and section 157 of the
Commission's Regulations requesting: (1) A certificate of public
convenience and necessity to construct and operate a 9.2-mile natural
gas pipeline and ancillary facilities (Onshore Pipeline); (2) a blanket
certificate to perform routine activities and operations; (3)
authorization to operate on a sole-use, proprietary basis; and, (4) a
waiver of certain Commission Regulations, all as more fully detailed in
the application which is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection.
    The Onshore Pipeline will extend from the high water mark on the
shoreline in Amboy, Middlesex County, New Jersey to Linden, in Union
County, New Jersey, interconnections with the interstate pipeline
systems of Texas Eastern Transmission, L.P. and Transcontinental Gas
Pipeline Company. It is designed to transport up to 2.4 billion cubic
feet per day of natural gas to serve markets in New Jersey, New York,
and surrounding areas.
    The Onshore Pipeline is a part of the Liberty Natural Gas Project,
which will include a deepwater port (Port), located approximately 16.2
miles offshore along the New Jersey coastline. The Port, which will
remain fully submerged when not in use, will be served by LNG
Regasification Vessels that will transport natural gas from sources
around the world in a liquid state (LNG) and will regasify the LNG
onboard when they reach the Port. The regasified natural gas will then
be transported through the proposed Port and a submerged pipeline to
the Onshore Pipeline. In conjunction with this Application, Liberty is
also filing an application for a license to own, construct, and operate
its Port and submerged pipeline with the Maritime Administration and
the United States Coast Guard pursuant to the Deepwater Port Act of
1974, 33 U.S.C. 1501, et seq., as amended.
    Questions concerning this application may be directed to Jason
Goldstein, Liberty Natural Gas, LLC, 15 Exchange

Street, Suite 1120, Jersey City, NJ 07302, by calling<PHONE_NUMBER>, by
faxing<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by e-mailing<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or to Beth L. Webb, Dickstein Shapiro LLP, 1825 Eye Street, NW.,
Washington, DC 20006, by calling<PHONE_NUMBER>, by faxing<PHONE_NUMBER>,
or by e-mailing<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify Federal and State agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all Federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit seven copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and
interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link at http://
www.fere.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should submit an
original and seven copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC
