[Docket No. FDA-2010-N-0256]

Indexing Structured Product Labeling for Human Prescription Drug
and Biological Products; Request for Comments

AGENCY:  Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION:  Notice; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research (CDER) and Center for Biologics Evaluation and
Research (CBER) are indexing certain categories of information in
product labeling for use as terms to search repositories of approved
prescription medical product structured product labeling (SPL). FDA has
previously identified pharmacologic class as a top priority for
indexing of product labeling information. FDA is now announcing that
medical product indications is another category of product labeling
information that the agency has identified as a high priority for
indexing. CDER and CBER are announcing the establishment of a public
docket to provide an opportunity for interested parties to share
information, research, and ideas on the FDA indexing process.

DATES:  Submit either electronic or written comments by August 10,
2010.

ADDRESSES:  Submit electronic comments to http://www.regulations.gov.
Submit written comments to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-
305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061,
Rockville, MD 20852. All comments should be identified with the docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    As part of the effort to advance medical informatics to support the
safe use of medical products, CDER and CBER are using the SPL format to
index labeling information for human prescription drug and biological
products. SPL is a document markup standard approved by Health Level
Seven adopted by FDA as a mechanism for exchanging product information
by using extensible markup language. Indexing refers to the insertion
of machine-readable tags that do not appear in actual printed labeling,
but enable users with clinical decision support tools and electronic
prescribing systems to rapidly search and sort product information.
This is an important step toward the creation of a fully automated
health information exchange system.
    Indexed labeling can help prevent prescription errors and enhance
the safe use of medical products. For example, among other benefits,
the SPL indexing can enable a hospital's computer system to help detect
that products prescribed by the hospital to treat a patient's injury do
not adversely interact with other products that the patient is taking.
It is important that this indexing be done consistently to enable
comprehensive searches to find all relevant information, including
appropriate synonyms.
    In recent years, FDA pilot-tested the addition of SPL indexing to
human prescription drug and biological product labeling. Based on that
experience, feedback from industry, and feedback from other SPL users,
FDA's approach will be to index product labeling information and link
an indexed SPL file to the content of labeling SPL file available in
the official SPL public access repository. Considering FDA's available
resources, we have instituted a phased implementation of indexing for
certain categories for all human prescription drug and biological
product labeling. Indexing information on the pharmacologic class and
indications categories of product labeling is being undertaken by the
agency, as resources permit (see more information below). As the phased
implementation proceeds, all human prescription drug and biological
product labeling may be linked to certain key indexing.
    For additional information, including the guidance for industry
``Indexing Structured Product Labeling,'' refer to the FDA Data
Standards Council Web page on SPL at http://www.fda.gov/ForIndustry/
DataStandards/StructuredProductLabeling/default.htm. FDA will update
the Data Standards Council Web site to include all SPL indexing and
their related terminologies as they are developed.
    When the indexing of pharmacologic class and indications is
complete, FDA intends to index other categories of product labeling
information using a phased implementation process. The types and
priority order of indexing of subsequent categories will be determined
based on public input and agency priorities.

II. Indexing Pharmacologic Class

    In June 2008, FDA issued the guidance for industry ``Indexing
Structured Product Labeling.'' This guidance states the agency's
intention to index product labeling information, as resources permit,
and identifies pharmacologic class as a top indexing priority. As part
of its review and label

approval process, FDA identifies the established pharmacologic class
for each approved medical product if appropriate. An established
pharmacologic class is one that FDA has determined is scientifically
valid and clinically meaningful according to the principles outlined in
the guidance for industry and review staff ``Labeling for Human
Prescription Drugs and Biological Products--Determining Established
Pharmacologic Class for Use in the Highlights of Prescribing
Information,'' published in October 2009.
    For SPL indexing, the established pharmacologic class is
represented by an established pharmacologic class term or phrase. FDA
also uses the Department of Veterans Affairs National Drug File
Reference Terminology to identify other scientifically valid and
clinically meaningful SPL indexing terms for each active ingredient
that are representative of mechanism of action, physiologic effect, and
chemical structure.
    On the FDA Data Standards Council Web site, FDA has posted a
Microsoft Excel spreadsheet containing a list of proposed established
pharmacologic classes and indexing concepts completed to date for each
active ingredient associated with approved human prescription drug and
biological products.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See http://www.fda.gov/ForIndustry/DataStandards/
StructuredProductfxsp0;Labeling/ucm162549.htm.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Indexing Indications Information

    FDA has determined that another high priority for indexing of
product labeling information, as resources permit, is the medical
product indications category.
    With indexing of indications, the goal is to determine terms or
phrases that represent the recognized disease or condition,
manifestation of a recognized disease or condition, or symptoms
associated with a recognized disease or condition that accurately
capture the approved indication appearing in the Indications section of
labeling. The current intent is to index the basic indication concepts
without the more specific usage and limitations of use information.
Criteria are under development to determine the appropriate level of
granularity and consistency in the choice of concepts indexed.
    After consideration of existing alternatives including the National
Library of Medicine's Clinical Observations Recording and Encoding
(CORE) subset of Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms
(SNOMED CT), FDA chose the Veterans Health Administration and Kaiser
Permanente (VA/KP) Problem List subset of SNOMED CT as the terminology
for SPL indexing of product labeling information on indication.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ FDA News: http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/
PressAnnouncements/2006/ucm108642.htm
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SNOMED CT is a comprehensive clinical terminology that includes
expressions for body structures, clinical findings, procedures, and
hundreds of thousands of other clinical concepts. More information on
SNOMED CT is available at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/Snomed/
snomed_main.html.

IV. Request for Comments

    FDA is establishing an open docket for comments to obtain public
input on the indexing process. Representatives of the human
prescription drug and biological product industries, health care
providers, and other health care professionals are particularly
encouraged to participate and submit comments.
    FDA is asking for comment on all aspects of indexing the content of
labeling. In particular, FDA is asking for comments on the following:
    1. FDA is currently indexing pharmacologic class and indications.
When indexing of these categories is complete, FDA plans to index
additional labeling information categories. For example, warnings and
precautions, other adverse reactions, drug interactions, pediatric, or
pregnancy information may be useful categories of information for
future indexing. Other categories may also be identified. Please
comment on the subsequent labeling categories that should be indexed by
FDA as well as the priority order for indexing these categories.
    2. For each indexing category, FDA will develop a series of
principles to ensure the consistent assignment of indexing concepts.
Please comment on the type of principles that may be useful for this
task.
    3. FDA chose the VA/KP Problem List subset of SNOMED CT as the
indexing terminology for indications for the following reasons:
     The VA/KP Problem List is the named SPL data standard
terminology for indexing the medical condition.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ SNOMED CT VA/KP subset: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/
umls/Snomed/snomed_problem_list.html
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The subset represents conditions at a level of
discreteness that are clinically relevant.
    Please comment on the use of the VA/KP Problem List for the
indexing of indications.
    4. For indications, the degree of complexity indexed is limited by
FDA's intention to first capture the main focus of the indication as a
single existing concept using the 01312010 version of the SNOMED CT VA/
KP Problem List subset. Additional indication modifiers found in
approved product labeling such as disease severity or chronicity will
not always be indexed. Please comment on this approach.
    5. FDA will use the SPL standard to disseminate indexing
information. Once entered into the SPL file, the indexed elements will
be available for uploading into computer systems for sorting and other
data manipulations. We believe this approach is more user friendly than
the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet format we are currently using to
showcase pharmacologic class on the Data Standards Web site. Please
comment on this approach to make SPL indexing information available to
interested parties.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Background

    Idaho's federally-approved rules at Idaho Administrative Procedures
Act (IDAPA) <IP_ADDRESS>7 through 623 contain the open burning
requirements for crop residue disposal in Idaho. These rules were
approved by the EPA on August 1, 2008, (73 FR 44915) and were submitted
to the EPA as a result of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision
in Safe Air for Everyone v. USEPA, 475 F.3d 1096, amended 488 F.3d 1088
(9th Cir 2007). More information regarding the Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals decision and the federally-approved requirements for crop
residue disposal can be found in the EPA's proposed and final actions
on the state's 2008 SIP submittal. 73 FR 23155 (April 29, 2008) and 73
FR 44915 (August 1, 2008).
    Idaho's federally-approved crop residue disposal rules at IDAPA
<IP_ADDRESS>7 currently provide that the open burning of crop residue on
fields where the crops were grown is an allowable form of open burning
if conducted in accordance with the provisions at IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>8
through 623. The provisions at IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>8 through 623 are
described

in the EPA's proposed action at 73 FR 23159 (April 29, 2008). In brief,
these rules require that a person desiring to burn crop residue must
register at least thirty days in advance of the date of the proposed
burn, pay a fee at least seven days prior to the burn, contact the IDEQ
for initial approval at least 12 hours prior to the burn, obtain final
approval from the IDEQ the morning of the burn, and submit a post-burn
report to the IDEQ. In addition, all persons intending to dispose of
crop residue through burning must abide by all of the general
provisions in IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>2 (covering such items as training
requirements, reporting requirements, and certain limitations on
burning).
    The criteria for the IDEQ to approve a request to burn are
described in IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>1. Importantly, before approving a
permittee's request to burn, the IDEQ must determine that ambient air
quality levels do not exceed seventy-five percent of the level of any
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) on any day and are not
projected to exceed such level over the next 24 hours. In addition, the
IDEQ must determine that ambient air quality levels have not reached,
and are not forecasted to reach and persist at, eighty percent of the
one-hour action criteria for particulate matter under IDAPA
<IP_ADDRESS>6.\1\ Thus, the IDEQ will not approve a burn if these levels
are expected to be exceeded as a result of the burn. In determining
whether to approve the burn, the IDEQ must also consider the expected
emissions from the proposed burn, the proximity of the proposed burn to
other burns, the moisture content of the fuels, the acreage, crop type
and other fuel characteristics, existing and expected meteorological
conditions, the proximity of the proposed burn to institutions with
sensitive populations, public roadways, and airports, and other
relevant factors. IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>1.01. The IDEQ must also notify the
public as provided in IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The current one-hour action criteria under IDAPA
<IP_ADDRESS>6 is an average of 80 [mu]g/m\3\ for PM2.5 and
an average of 385 [mu]g/m\3\ for PM10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The IDEQ's SIP revision submitted on July 13, 2011, contains
changes to the federally-approved crop residue disposal rules at IDAPA
<IP_ADDRESS>7 through 623. More specifically, the July 13, 2011, SIP
submittal revises IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>7, 618, 620, 622, and 623, and adds
a new section at IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>4. These revisions were submitted by
the IDEQ after determining that the administrative requirements under
the existing rules for certain types of small burns (spot burns, broken
bale burns and propane flaming) were unnecessarily burdensome.
According to the July 13, 2011, SIP submittal, these revisions were
made to streamline the administrative requirements for these types of
small fuel loading and small acreage burns.
    In the July 13, 2011, submittal, the IDEQ described the process for
making the rule changes and noted that the changes were drafted in
conjunction with a negotiating committee made up of persons having an
interest in the development of this rule.\2\ Participants included
growers desiring to burn crop residue, members of the regulated
community who may be subject to Idaho's air quality rules, special
interest groups, the Idaho State Department of Agriculture, tribes,
public officials, and members of the public who have an interest in the
regulation of air emissions. The IDEQ also explained that a change to
the statute was necessary relating to the fee requirement for propane
flaming. The resulting temporary rule was adopted by the IDEQ Board of
Environmental Quality on April 25, 2011 and became effective on July 1,
2011.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Idaho's negotiated rulemaking process is an informal process
open to the public and intended to improve the substance of proposed
rules by drawing upon shared information, expertise and technical
abilities possessed by the affected persons; to arrive at a
consensus on the content of the rule; to expedite formal rule-
making; and to lessen the likelihood that affected persons will
resist enforcement or challenge the rules in court. See Section 67-
5220, Idaho Code and IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>0 through 819.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Summary of Rule Changes

    The rule changes in the July 13, 2011, submittal include new IDAPA
<IP_ADDRESS>4, which relates to spot burns, baled agricultural residue
burns and propane flaming, and revisions to IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>7 through
623, which clarify existing disposal of crop residue provisions and
update references to new IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>4. The EPA prepared a
Technical Support Document (TSD) with detailed description of the
specific provisions in the SIP submittal. The TSD is available for
review as part of the docket for this action.

Spot Burns and Baled Agricultural Residue Burns

    The new provisions for spot burns and baled agricultural residue
burns in IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>4 streamline the procedure and provide for
the issuance of an annual permit to cover spot burns and baled
agricultural residue burns proposed by an applicant for a given
calendar year. Under the prior rule, a separate approval was required
for each and every individual spot or bale burn. The new rule still
regulates these types of burns but simplifies the administrative
process. Specifically, under the new rule, to apply for an annual
permit to conduct spot burning and baled agricultural residue burning,
the applicant must provide registration information identifying the
proposed burn areas and submit a fee. The permit issued by the IDEQ is
valid for the calendar year in which it is issued, covers the proposed
burn areas provided in the applicant's registration information, and is
good for a cumulative total of no more than one acre per day and no
more than ten acres per year. The person intending to burn must meet
all applicable permit provisions, including provisions relating to
preventing travel hazards, protecting sensitive populations, and
recordkeeping. Under IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>4.04.c, spot burns and baled
agricultural residue burns may not be conducted except on IDEQ-
designated burn days, which for these types of burns may include
weekends and holidays.

Propane Flaming

    The new provisions for propane flaming in IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>4
provide that a person intending to conduct propane flaming is deemed to
have a permit if the definition of propane flaming is met and the
person complies with all applicable provisions. Under the prior rule, a
separate approval was required for each and every burn using propane
flaming. The new rule still regulates propane flaming but simplifies
the administrative process by deeming persons conducting propane
flaming to have a permit by rule if they comply with applicable
provisions in IDAPA 624.04 and 624.05. The applicable provisions
include general crop residue disposal provisions and provisions
relating to preventing travel hazards, protecting sensitive
populations, and recordkeeping. Under IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>4.04.c, propane
flaming may not be conducted except on IDEQ-designated burn days, which
for propane flaming may include weekends and holidays.

Revisions to IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS> Through 623

    The revisions to IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS> through 623 consist of minor
changes that update cross references to new IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>4 and
clarify certain administrative provisions.

III. Evaluation of Rule Changes

    The crop residue disposal provisions in the federally-approved SIP
for Idaho may be revised provided the State meets

the requirements of CAA section 110. To address section 110, the EPA
reviewed each changed provision in the crop residue disposal rules in
its July 13, 2011, submittal to determine whether or not the changes
would interfere with any applicable requirement concerning attainment
and reasonable further progress or any other applicable requirement of
this Act. As further discussed in the TSD, the changes to existing
IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS> to 623 consisted of minor changes, such as updated
cross references and clarifying administrative information (e.g,
specifying the Web site address and toll free number). Because of the
nature of these revisions, these changes do not interfere with any
applicable requirement concerning attainment and reasonable further
progress, or any other applicable requirement of this Act.
    The new provisions at IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>4 that simplify the
administrative process for spot burns, baled agricultural residue
burns, and propane flaming also do not interfere with any applicable
requirement concerning attainment and reasonable further progress, or
any other applicable requirement of this Act. Spot burning, baled
agricultural residue burning, and propane flaming are already allowed
under the existing federally-approved crop residue disposal rule and
burning continues to be allowed only on IDEQ-designated burn days.
Moreover, the permittee is still subject to the applicable general
provisions for the burning of crop residue. See the TSD for more
information about our review and analysis of the July 13, 2011, SIP
submittal.
    Based on the EPA's review and evaluation of the July 13, 2011, SIP
submittal, the burn determination provisions in IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>1, and
the IDEQ's analysis of its rule changes in the July 13, 2011, SIP
submittal, the EPA concludes that Idaho's SIP revision submitted on
July 13, 2011, meets the requirements of Clean Air Act section 110.

IV. Proposed Action

    Consistent with the discussion above and based on our review and
analysis of revised IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>7, 618, 620, 622, and 623 and new
section IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>4, the EPA proposes approval of the revisions
in Idaho's July 13, 2011, SIP submittal.

V. Scope of Proposed Action

    Idaho has not demonstrated authority to implement and enforce IDAPA
Chapter 58 within ``Indian Country'' as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151.\3\
Therefore, the EPA proposes that this SIP approval not extend to
``Indian Country'' in Idaho. See CAA sections 110(a)(2)(A) (SIP shall
include enforceable emission limits), 110(a)(2)(E)(i) (State must have
adequate authority under State law to carry out SIP), and 172(c)(6)
(nonattainment SIPs shall include enforceable emission limits). This is
consistent with the EPA's previous approval of Idaho's PSD program, in
which the EPA specifically disapproved the program for sources within
Indian Reservations in Idaho because the State had not shown it had
authority to regulate such sources. See 40 CFR 52.683(b). It is also
consistent with the EPA's approval of Idaho's title V air operating
permits program. See 61 FR 64622, 64623 (December 6, 1996) (interim
approval does not extend to Indian Country); 66 FR 50574, 50575
(October 4, 2001) (full approval does not extend to Indian Country).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ ``Indian country'' is defined under 18 U.S.C. 1151 as: (1)
All land within the limits of any Indian reservation under the
jurisdiction of the United States Government, notwithstanding the
issuance of any patent, and including rights-of-way running through
the reservation, (2) all dependent Indian communities within the
borders of the United States, whether within the original or
subsequently acquired territory thereof, and whether within or
without the limits of a State, and (3) all Indian allotments, the
Indian titles to which have not been extinguished, including rights-
of-way running through the same. Under this definition, EPA treats
as reservations trust lands validly set aside for the use of a Tribe
even if the trust lands have not been formally designated as a
reservation. In Idaho, Indian country includes, but is not limited
to, the Coeur d'Alene Reservation, the Duck Valley Reservation, the
Reservation of the Kootenai Tribe, the Fort Hall Indian Reservation,
and the Nez Perce Reservation as described in the 1863 Nez Perce
Treaty.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this proposed action merely approves state law as meeting
Federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond
those imposed by state law. For that reason, this proposed action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority
to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or
environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and the EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. PF13-12-000]

Empire Pipeline, Inc.; National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation;
Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Planned
Tuscarora Expansion 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 of the Tuscarora Expansion Project
(Project) involving construction and operation of facilities by Empire
Pipeline, Inc. and National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation (Collectively
known and National Fuel) in Steuben County, New York and Tioga County,
Pennsylvania. 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. Your input will help the Commission staff
determine what issues they need to evaluate in the EA. Please note that
the scoping period will close on November 4, 2013.
    You may submit comments 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, the Commission invites you to attend the
public scoping meeting scheduled as follows:

FERC Public Scoping Meeting Tuscarora Expansion Project

6 p.m., October 16, 2013, Addison American Legion, 85 Maple Street,
Addison, NY 14801.

    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 planned
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 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, the pipeline company 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.

Summary of the Planned Project

    National Fuel proposes to construct:
     16.9 miles of 16 or 20 inch diameter natural gas pipeline
running from the existing Tuscarora Gas Compressor Station near
Tuscarora, New York to the

existing Tioga Pipeline Extension in Tioga County, Pennsylvania;
     pipeline interconnection facilities for the pipeline; and
     an expansion of the existing Tuscarora Compressor Station
by installing and additional 1,400 to 2,400 horsepower of compression.
    The purpose of the Project is to enable Empire to offer new no-
notice transportation and storage services that have been requested by
one of its largest local distribution company customers.
    The general location of the project facilities is shown in appendix
1.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the planned pipeline and compressor station
facilities would disturb about 237.7 acres of land. Following
construction, National Fuel would maintain about 113.1 acres for
permanent operation of the project's facilities; 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
\2\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ ``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 planned project under these
general headings:
     Geology and soils;
     land use;
     water resources, fisheries, and wetlands;
     cultural resources;
     vegetation and wildlife;
     air quality and noise;
     endangered and threatened species; and
     reliability and safety.
    We will also evaluate possible alternatives to the planned project
or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to lessen
or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    Although no formal application has been filed, we have already
initiated our NEPA review under the Commission's pre-filing process.
The purpose of the pre-filing process is to encourage early involvement
of interested stakeholders and to identify and resolve issues before
the FERC receives an application. 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.
    The EA will present our independent analysis of the issues. The EA
will be available in the public record through eLibrary. Depending on
the comments received during the scoping process, we may also publish
and distribute the EA to the public for an allotted comment period. We
will consider all comments on the EA before we make 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 below.
    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 EA.\3\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 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
implementing regulations for section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, we are using this notice to initiate consultation
with applicable State Historic Preservation Office(s), 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.\4\ We will define the project-specific Area of Potential
Effects (APE) in consultation with the SHPO(s) 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 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 of Historic Places.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 lessen environmental impacts. The more specific
your comments, the more useful they will be. To ensure that your
comments are timely and properly recorded, please send your comments so
that the Commission receives them in Washington, DC on or before
November 4, 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 (PF13-12-000) 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

Environmental Mailing List

    The environmental mailing list includes federal, state, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; interested Indian 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.
    If we publish and distribute the EA, 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 2).

Becoming an Intervenor

    Once National Fuel files its application 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
site. Please note that the Commission will not accept requests for
intervenor status at this time. You must wait until the Commission
receives a formal application for the project.

Additional Information

    Additional information about the project is available from the
Commission's Office of External Affairs, at (866) 208-FERC, or on the
FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link. Click on the
eLibrary link, click on ``General Search'' and enter the docket number,
excluding the last three digits in the Docket Number field (i.e., PF13-
12-000). Be sure you have selected an appropriate date range. For
assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll free at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or for TTY,
contact<PHONE_NUMBER>. The eLibrary link also provides access to the
texts of formal documents issued by the Commission, such as orders,
notices, and rulemakings.
    In addition, the Commission offers a free service called
eSubscription which allows you to keep track of all formal issuances
and submittals in specific dockets. This can reduce the amount of time
you spend researching proceedings by automatically providing you with
notification of these filings, document summaries, and direct links to
the documents. Go to www.ferc.gov/esubscribenow.htm.
    Finally, public meetings or site visits will be posted on the
Commission's calendar located at www.ferc.gov/EventCalendar/EventsList.aspx along with other related information.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP08-72-000]

Northern Border Pipeline Company; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Des Plaines Project and
Request for Comments on Environmental Issues

March 7, 2008.
    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 proposed Des Plaines Project
(Project). The Project is proposed by Northern Border Pipeline Company
(Northern Border) and involves construction and operation of a new
natural gas compressor and meter station near Channahon in Will County,
Illinois. The EA will be used by the Commission in its decision-making
process to determine whether or not to authorize the Project.
    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 will help determine which issues
need to be evaluated in the EA. State and local government
representatives are asked to notify their constituents of this proposed
Project and to encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
Details on how to submit comments are provided in the Public
Participation section of this notice. Please note that the scoping
period will close on April 7, 2008.
    This notice is being sent to affected landowners; federal, state,
and local government agencies; elected officials; Native American
tribes; other interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers.
Affected landowners include all landowners who own land within 0.5 mile
of the proposed compressor facility. Northern Border's proposed
facilities would occupy a parcel of land owned by Northern Border.
Northern Border has not proposed to acquire any easements to construct,
operate, or maintain the proposed Project facilities.
    A number of fact sheets prepared by the FERC, including ``An
Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?''
and ``Guide to Electronic Information at FERC,'' are available for
viewing on the FERC Internet Web site (http://www.ferc.gov), using the
``For Citizens'' link. These fact sheets address a number of typically

asked questions including how to participate in the Commission's
proceedings and how to access information on FERC regulated projects in
your area.

Summary of the Proposed Project

    Northern Border seeks authorization to construct, own, and operate
a new 1,600 horsepower compressor station, meter station, and
interconnecting and appurtenant facilities, collectively referred to as
the Des Plaines Project, in Will County, Illinois. The proposed
construction would include a new interconnect between ANR Pipeline
Company (ANR) and Northern Border. Northern Border currently does not
have the ability to receive gas directly from ANR due to Northern
Border's higher operating pressures. The proposed compressor facilities
would enable Northern Border to receive 59,681 dekatherms per day from
ANR for transport to an existing delivery point on Northern Border's
mainline system in Ventura, Iowa. Northern Border proposes to begin
construction in July 2008 in order to be in-service by November 1,
2008.
    The general location of the proposed facilities is shown in
Appendix 1.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The appendices referenced in this notice are not being
printed in the Federal Register. Copies of all appendices are
available on the Commission's Web site at the ``eLibrary'' link or
from the Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426, or call<PHONE_NUMBER>. For instructions on
connecting to eLibrary refer to the ``Additional Information''
section of this notice. Copies of the appendices were sent to all
those receiving this notice in the mail. Requests for detailed maps
of the proposed facilities should be made directly to Northern
Border Pipeline Company by calling Bambi Heckerman at (402) 492-
7575.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Land Requirements for Construction

    The proposed construction would include an access road, piping
(above and below ground), and one or more buildings that would contain
meter equipment, appurtenant piping, and the natural gas compressor and
engine. Proposed construction would impact approximately 7.8 acres of
land owned by Northern Border. The site consists of undeveloped,
disturbed grassland and shrubs, bordered by railroad tracks and active
light industrial facilities. All proposed workspace for construction
and material/equipment staging would occur within Northern Border's 7.8
acre site or at a nearby site (owned by Northern Border or previously
disturbed commercial storage site). A new road would be installed
across the CSX rail spur to provide access to the site from Youngs
Road.

The EA Process

    We \2\ are preparing this EA to comply with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) which requires the Commission to take
into account the environmental impact that could result if it
authorizes Northern Border's proposal. By this notice, we are also
asking federal, state, and local agencies with jurisdiction and/or
special expertise with respect to environmental issues to formally
cooperate with us in the preparation of the EA. Agencies that would
like to request cooperating status should follow the instructions for
filing comments provided below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ ''We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the FERC's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NEPA also requires the FERC 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 of Intent, we are requesting 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.
    The EA 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
     Water resources
     Land use and visual quality
     Cultural resources
     Vegetation and wildlife (including threatened and
endangered species)
     Air quality and noise
     Reliability and safety
     Cumulative impact
    We will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the proposed
Project, where necessary, and make recommendations on how to lessen or
avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    Our independent analysis of the issues will be in the EA. Depending
on the comments received during the scoping process, the EA may be
published and mailed to federal, state, and local agencies, public
interest groups, interested individuals, affected landowners,
newspapers, libraries, and the Commission's official service list for
this proceeding. A comment period will be allotted for review if the EA
is published. We will consider all comments on the EA before we make
our recommendations to the Commission. To ensure your comments are
received and considered, please carefully follow the instructions in
the Public Participation section below.

Public Participation

    You can make a difference by providing us with your specific
comments or concerns about the Project. By becoming a commentor, your
concerns will be addressed in the EA and considered by the Commission.
You should focus on the potential environmental effects of the proposal
and alternatives to the proposal and measures to avoid or lessen
environmental impact. The more specific your comments, the more useful
they will be. Please carefully follow these instructions to ensure that
your comments are received in time and properly recorded:
     Send an original and two copies of your letter to:
Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First St., NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426;
     Label one copy for the attention of Gas Branch 3, PJ-11.3;
     Reference Docket No. CP08-72-000; and
     Mail your comments so that they will be received in
Washington, DC on or before April 7, 2008.
    The Commission encourages electronic filing of comments. See 18
Code of Federal Regulations 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on
the Commission's Internet Web site at http://www.ferc.gov under the
link to ``Documents and Filings'' and ``eFiling.'' eFiling is a file
attachment process and requires that you prepare your submission in the
same manner as you would if filing on paper, and save it to a file on
your hard drive. New eFiling users must first create an account by
clicking on ``Sign up'' or ``eRegister.'' You will be asked to select
the type of filing you are making. This filing is considered a
``Comment on Filing.'' In addition, there is a ``Quick Comment'' option
available, which is an easy method for interested persons to submit
text only comments on a project. The Quick-Comment User Guide can be
viewed at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling/quick-comment-
guide.pdf. Quick Comment does not require a FERC eRegistration account;
however, you will be asked to provide a valid e-mail address. All
comments submitted under either eFiling or the Quick Comment option are
placed in the public record for the specified docket or project
number(s).
    As described above, we may publish and distribute the EA for
comment. If you are interested in receiving the EA for review and/or
comment, please return the Mailing List Retention Form

(Appendix 2). If you do not return the Mailing List Retention Form, you
will be taken off the mailing list.

Becoming an Intervenor

    In addition to involvement in the EA scoping process, you may want
to become an official party to the proceeding known as an
``intervenor.'' Intervenors play a more formal role in the process.
Intervenors have the right to seek rehearing of the Commission's
decision, and also receive copies of case-related Commission documents
and filings by other intervenors.
    If you want to become an intervenor, you must file a motion to
intervene according to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214). Motions to Intervene should be
electronically submitted using the Commission's eFiling system at
http://www.ferc.gov. Persons without Internet access should send an
original and 14 copies of their motion to the Secretary of the
Commission at the address indicated previously. Persons filing Motions
to Intervene on or before the comment deadline indicated above must
send a copy of the motion to the Applicant. All filings, including late
interventions, submitted after the comment deadline must be served on
the Applicant and all other intervenors identified on the Commission's
service list for this proceeding. Persons on the service list with e-
mail addresses may be served electronically; others must be served a
hard copy of the filing.
    Affected landowners and parties with environmental concerns may be
granted intervenor status upon showing good cause by stating that they
have a clear and direct interest in this proceeding which would not be
adequately represented by any other parties. You do not need intervenor
status to have your environmental comments considered.

Additional Information

    Additional information about the Project is available from the
Commission's Office of External Affairs, at 1-866-208-FERC or on the
FERC Internet Web site (www.ferc.gov) using the ``eLibrary'' link.
Click on the eLibrary link, then on ``General Search'' and enter the
docket number excluding the last three digits in the Docket Number
field (i.e., CP08-72). Be sure you have selected an appropriate date
range. For assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll free at 1-866-208-3676, or for TTY,
contact<PHONE_NUMBER>. The eLibrary link also provides access to the
texts of formal documents issued by the Commission, such as Orders,
notices, and rulemakings.
    In addition, the Commission now offers a free service called
eSubscription which allows you to keep track of all formal issuances
and submittals in specific dockets. This can reduce the amount of time
you spend researching proceedings by automatically providing you with
notification of these filings, document summaries, and direct links to
the documents. Go to http://www.ferc.gov/esubscribenow.htm.
    Finally, public meetings or site visits will be posted on the
Commission's calendar located at http://www.ferc.gov/EventCalendar/
EventsList.aspx along with other related information.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
