II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The legal basis and authorities for this rulemaking are found in 46
U.S.C. 70006, 33 CFR 109.05, 33 CFR 1.05-1, and DHS Delegation No.
0170.1, Revision No. 01.2, which collectively authorize the Coast Guard
to propose, establish, and define regulatory anchorage grounds. Under
title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 109, Sec.
109.05, U.S. Coast Guard District Commanders are delegated the
authority to establish anchorage grounds by the Commandant of the U.S.
Coast Guard. The Coast Guard established Anchorage Grounds under 33 CFR
110.1(b)(32 FR 17728, Dec. 12, 1967, as amended by 52 FR 33811, Sept.
8, 1987; 63 FR 5526, June 30, 1998).
    The project to modify or establish ten anchorage grounds along the
LMR was initiated in 2019. From 2019 through 2022, certain port
stakeholders, (including Crescent River Port Pilots' Association
(CRPPA), Maritime Navigation Safety Association (MNSA), Coastal
Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) and United States Coast
Guard (USCG)) worked to determine if the proposed modifications were
necessary and in suitable locations, with consideration given to, among
other things, environmental factors.
    In 2021, a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) was published on
August 29, 2021 (86 FR 48354), the Coast Guard solicited comments from
the maritime stakeholders. At the end of the comment period ending on
September 29, 2021, the project received a total of one comment that
recommended adding a Note identifying revetments into the text of each
of the applicable proposed changes to anchorage grounds.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The legal basis and authorities for this rulemaking are found in 46
U.S.C. 70006, 33 CFR 109.05, 33 CFR 1.05-1, and DHS Delegation No.
0170.1, Revision No. 01.2, which collectively authorize the Coast Guard
to propose, establish, and define regulatory anchorage grounds. Under
Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) part 109.05, U.S.
Coast Guard District Commanders are delegated the authority to
establish anchorage grounds by the Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard established Anchorage Grounds under title 33 CFR
110.1(b)(32 FR 17728, Dec. 12, 1967, as amended by 52 FR 33811, Sept.
8, 1987; 63 FR 5526, June 30, 1998).
    The Commander of Coast Guard District Eight is establishing one new
anchorage ground and amending nine existing anchorage grounds along the
LMR, ranging from MM 12 to MM 85 AHP. Currently, there are not adequate
anchorage grounds along the river system to facilitate the safe
anchorage of shallow and deep draft vessels along the LMR. This action
would ensure safe navigation of vessels on LMR.

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule

    As noted above, we received one comment on the NPRM published on
August 29, 2021. This comment proposed to include additional text to 6
of the anchorage grounds that would identify revetments located within
or adjacent to those specific anchorage grounds. The Coast Guard agrees
that, since the NPRM proposed to include notes to Cedar Grove and Lower
12 Mile, which identify revetments located within/adjacent to those
specific anchorage grounds, the proposed changes to the anchorage
grounds would be beneficial.
    The changes in the regulatory text of this rule from the rule in
the NPRM are discussed below. The specific anchorage boundaries are
described in detail in the regulatory text at the end of the document.
In general, this rule will have the following effects:

    1. Increase the length of the Boothville Anchorage from 5.5
miles to 6.45 miles and add a note to the text of the Boothville
Anchorage (33 CFR 110.195(a)(4)).
    2. Increase the length of the Magnolia Anchorage from 2.1 miles
to 2.2 miles and add a note to the text of the Magnolia Anchorage
(33 CFR 110.195(a)(7)).
    3. Increase the length of the Davant Anchorage from 1.1 miles to
1.4 miles (33 CFR 110.195(a)(9)).
    4. Decrease the width of the Wills Point Anchorage from 600 feet
to 500 feet (33 CFR 110.195(a)(11)).
    5. Add a note to the text of the Cedar Grove Anchorage (33 CFR
110.195(a)(12)).
    6. Increase the length of the Belle Chasse Anchorage from 2.1
miles to 2.15 miles, decrease the width from 575 feet to 500 feet
and add a note to the text of the Belle Chasse Anchorage ((33 CFR
110.195(a)(13)).
    7. Add a Note to the text of the Lower 12 Mile Point Anchorage
(33 CFR 110.195(a)(14)).
    8. Increase the length of the Lower 9 Mile Point Anchorage from
2.3 miles to 2.4 miles add a note to the text of the Lower 9 Mile
Anchorage (33 CFR 110.195(a)(15)).
    9. Increase the length of the Point Michel Anchorage from 1.4
miles to 2.2 miles and add a note to the text of the Point Michel
Anchorage (33 CFR 110.195(a)(35)).
    10. Add a new anchorage, the Phoenix Anchorage, to include the
area, 0.6 miles in length, along the left descending bank of the
river extending from mile 57.82 to mile 58.42 Above Head of Passes.
The width of the anchorage is 400 feet. The inner boundary of the
anchorage is a line parallel to the nearest bank 400 feet from the
water's edge into the river as measured from the LWRP. The outer
boundary of the anchorage is a line parallel to the nearest bank 800
feet from the water's edge into the river as measured from the LWRP.
Add a note to the text of the Phoenix Anchorage.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this
rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on minimal impact to
routine navigation. The anchorage areas do not restrict traffic as they
are located well outside the established navigation channel. Vessels
maneuver in, around and through the anchorages.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rulemaking. The Coast Guard certifies under 5
U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
anchorage grounds may be small entities, for the reasons stated in
section V.A. above, this rule would not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and
Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast
Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that this action is one of
a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves the
establishment of one new anchorage grounds and the modification of nine
existing anchorage grounds along the LMR. It is categorically excluded
from further review under paragraph Land L59 of Appendix A, Table 1 of
DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A Record of Environmental
Consideration supporting this determination is available in the docket.
For instructions on locating the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of
this preamble.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to call or email the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so
that your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP10-2-000]

Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc.; Notice of Intent To
Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Elk City Storage
Expansion Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues

November 16, 2009.
    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) is in
the process of preparing an environmental assessment (EA) on the
environmental impacts of the Elk City Storage Expansion Project
(Project) proposed by Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc.
(Southern Star). Southern Star has proposed to construct and operate a
new natural gas compressor station in Montgomery County, Kansas, and
amend the current operational plan for the existing natural gas storage
field.
    The Notice of Intent (NOI) explains the scoping process that will
be used to gather input from the public and interested agencies on the
Project. Your input will help determine which issues will be evaluated
in the EA. Please note that the scoping period for this Project will
close on December 14, 2009.
    Comments on the Project may be submitted in written form or
electronically, as described below. This NOI is being sent to Federal,
State, and local government agencies; elected officials; affected
landowners; environmental and public interest groups; Indian tribes and
regional Native American organizations; commentors and other interested
parties; and local libraries and newspapers. We \1\ encourage
government representatives to notify their constituents of this
proposed Project and encourage them to comment on their areas of
concern.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ ``We'', ``us'', and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the Office of Energy Projects (OEP).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary of the Proposed Project

    Southern Star proposes to construct a compressor station adjacent
to an existing Southern Star dehydration plant and install two 450-
foot, 30-inch diameter pipelines connecting the proposed compressor
station with the existing dehydration plant. The compressor station
will be approximately 5.5 acres and the pipeline construction corridor
will be 100-foot-wide. A new pond will be constructed south of the
compressor station to replace the existing pond that will be filled
during construction of the compressor station.
    A location map depicting the proposed facilities is attached to
this NOI as Appendix 1 .\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The appendices referenced in this notice are not printed in
the Federal Register, but they are being provided to all those who
receive this notice in the mail. Copies of the NOI can be obtained
from the Commission's Web site at the ``eLibrary'' link,
Commission's Public Reference Room, or by calling<PHONE_NUMBER>.
For instructions on connecting to eLibrary, refer to the end of this
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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
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, the Commission staff
requests public comments on the scope of the issues to address in the
EA. All comments received are considered during the preparation of the
EA. State and local government representatives are encouraged to notify
their constituents of this proposed action and encourage them to
comment on their areas of concern.
    In the EA we will discuss impacts that could occur as results of
the construction and operation of the proposed project under these
general headings:
     Geology and soils.
     Water resources.
     Aquatic resources Vegetation and wildlife.
     Threatened and endangered species.
     Land use, recreation, and visual resources.
     Cultural resources.
     Socioeconomics.
     Air quality and noise.
     Reliability and safety.
     Cumulative impacts.
    We will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the proposed
project or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to
lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    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 considered, please carefully follow the
instructions in the Public Participation section.

Currently Identified Environmental Issues

    We have already identified issues that we think deserve attention
based on our previous experience with similar projects in the region.
This preliminary list of issues, which is presented below, may be
revised based on your comments and our continuing analyses specific to
the Project.
     Potential noise and vibration impacts from compressor
station.
     Air quality impacts from the compressor station.
     Wetland and waterbody impacts.

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
written comments are timely and properly recorded, please send in your
comments so that they will be received in Washington, DC on or before
December 14, 2009.
    Comments on the proposed Project can be submitted to the FERC in
written form. For your convenience, there are three methods which you
can use to submit your written comments to the Commission. In all
instances please reference the Project docket number (CP10-2-000) with
your submission. The three methods are:
    (1) You may file your comments electronically by using the Quick
Comment feature, which is located at http://www.ferc.gov under the link
called ``Documents and Filings''. A Quick Comment is an easy method for

interested persons to submit text-only comments on a project;
    (2) You may file your comments electronically by using the
``eFiling'' feature that is listed under the ``Documents and Filings''
link. eFiling involves preparing your submission in the same manner as
you would if filing on paper, and then saving the file on your
computer's hard drive. You will attach that file to your submission.
New eFiling users must first create an account by clicking on the links
called ``Sign up'' or ``eRegister''. You will be asked to select the
type of filing you are making. A comment on a particular project is
considered a ``Comment on a Filing''; or
    (3) You may file your comments with the Commission via mail by
sending an original and two copies of your letter to: Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426.
    Label one copy of the comments for the attention of Gas Branch 3,
PJ-11.3.

Environmental Mailing List

    An effort is being made to send this notice to all individuals,
organizations, and government entities interested in and/or potentially
affected by the proposed project. This includes all landowners whose
property may be used temporarily for project purposes, who have
existing easements from the pipeline, or who own homes within distances
defined in the Commission's regulations of certain aboveground
facilities. By this notice we are also asking governmental agencies,
especially those in Appendix 2, to express their interest in becoming
cooperating agencies for the preparation of the EA.
    If you do not want to send comments at this time but still want to
remain on our mailing list, please return the Information Request
(Appendix 3). If you do not return the Information Request, you will be
taken off the mailing list.

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
Internet at http://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. Be
sure you have selected an appropriate date range. For assistance,

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.
