77251-1642, by telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by email at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    On January 23, 2013, the Commission staff granted East Tennessee's
request to use the pre-filing process and assigned Docket No. PF13-6-
000 to staff activities involving the Project. Now, as of the filing of
this application on August 14, 2013, the NEPA Pre-Filing Process for
this project has ended. From this time forward, this proceeding will be
conducted in Docket No. CP13-534-000, as noted in the caption of this
Notice.
    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 5 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.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    Motions to intervene, protests and comments may be filed
electronically via the internet in lieu of paper; see, 18 CFR
385.2001(a) (1) (iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site
under the ``e-Filing'' link. The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings.
    Comment Date: September 12, 2013.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2012; FRL-9378-3]

Pollinator Summit: Status of Ongoing Collaborative Efforts To
Protect Pollinators; Notice of Public Meeting

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention, in
conjunction with the United States Department of Agriculture, will
facilitate a public meeting with parties engaged in activities to
reduce potential acute exposure of honey bees and pollinators to
pesticides. Invited presenters will provide briefings on current
activities in three key areas related to improving seed treatment
techniques; reducing the generation of dust that occurs during planting
operations; and raising awareness of current best management practices
that are available to mitigate potential acute pesticide exposure to
pollinators. Pollinators are an important component of agricultural
production, critical to food and ecosystems, and must be protected so
that they can continue to play this important role. The intended
outcome of this meeting is to share information and look for areas of
collaboration to lessen the unintended impacts of pesticides on
pollinators during coming and future growing seasons. This meeting
complements EPA's ongoing work through the Pesticide Program Dialogue
Committee (PPDC) to support and take action to improve pollinator
health.

DATES: The meeting will be held on March 5, 2013 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00
p.m. e.s.t.
    To request accommodation of a disability, please contact the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATON CONTACT, preferably at least 10
days prior to the meeting, to give EPA as much time as possible to

Comments may be made during the public comment session of the meeting;
invited presenters will provide briefings and information on their
current activities.

II. Background

    EPA is convening a public meeting to facilitate the exchange of
information among parties engaged in various activities related to
improving the safety of pollinators around agricultural crops. While
there are several factors affecting honey bee health, pesticides are
among these variables; and, new research is rapidly becoming available
on practices and technology aimed at reducing exposure of pollinators
to pesticides. Specifically, this summit will focus on the pesticide
treated seed, including the technology of seed treatment and the
management of dust that can be associated with planting treated seed
and which may lead to pesticide exposure to bees. The public meeting
will also include best management techniques associated with commercial
agriculture and bees. This summit complements EPA's on-going work with
the PPDC Workgroup on Pollinator Protection, which is addressing
pesticide labeling, best management practices, enforcement,
communication and education. This public summit is being held to
increase the awareness among the participants and the public of the
rapidly changing understanding of, and response to protecting
pollinators at agricultural crops.
