DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP16-27-000]

Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline Company, LLC; Notice of Intent To
Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Delaware River
Pipeline Relocation Project and Request for Comments on Environmental
Issues

    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 Delaware River Pipeline
Relocation Project (project) involving construction and operation of
facilities by Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline Company, LLC (PNGPC) in
Delaware County, Pennsylvania, and Gloucester County, New Jersey. 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. 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.
Your input will help the Commission staff determine what issues they
need to evaluate in the EA. 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 February 18, 2016.
    If you sent comments on this project to the Commission before the
opening of this docket on December 11, 2015, you will need to file
those comments in Docket No. CP16-27-000 to ensure they are considered
as part of this proceeding.
    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 proposed
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 proposed 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.
    PNGPC provided landowners with a fact sheet prepared by the FERC
entitled ``An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I
Need To Know?'' 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. It is also available for viewing on
the FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov).

Public Participation

    For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to submit
your comments to the Commission. The Commission encourages electronic

Washington, DC 20426.

Summary of the Proposed Project

    PNGPC is seeking authorization from the Commission under Sections
7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) to relocate, replace, and
abandon approximately 2.4-miles of a 6- and 8-inch diameter natural gas
pipeline extending across the Delaware River

between Delaware County, Pennsylvania and Gloucester County, New
Jersey. The pipeline currently transports approximately 38 million
standard cubic feet per day (MMSCF/d) of natural gas from the Spectra
Energy Partners, LP Texas Eastern Transmission 16-inch-diameter
pipeline to a refinery owned by Paulsboro Refining Company LLC (PRC), a
PNGPC affiliate, in Paulsboro, New Jersey, to support PRC refinery
operations. Natural gas transport would increase to 57.7 MMSC/d, and
the sole customer served by the pipeline is, and would continue to be,
the PRC refinery.
    In 2014, an underwater portion of the pipeline was damaged as a
result of the United States Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE) dredging
activities in the Delaware River, as part of the Delaware River Main
Channel Deepening Project (45-Foot Project). The 45-Foot Project is
ongoing and the anticipated project completion is 2017. The USACE
imposed a deadline to PNGPC to have the pipeline relocated and the
segment within the river removed by June 2017.
    The Delaware River Pipeline Relocation Project would consist of the
following:
     Removal of approximately 425-feet of existing pipeline
west of the Delaware River shipping channel;
     removal of 4,179-feet of existing pipeline near
Philadelphia International Airport;
     abandonment in place of approximately 8,153-feet of 6- and
8-inch-diameter pipeline;
     construction of 2.6 miles of a new 12- and 24-inch-
diameter pipeline adjacent to the abandoned line, of that, 8,550-feet
will be installed using the horizontal directional drill method under
the Delaware River;
     installation of a new pig launcher at an existing metering
site in Delaware County, Pennsylvania;
     modification of an existing PRC connection to include new
block valves, check valves, and reducers in Gloucester County, New
Jersey; and
     construction of a new PRC tie-in facility to include a pig
receiver, block valves, and a reducer in Gloucester County, New Jersey.
    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 proposed facilities would require the temporary
use of about 28.6 acres of land. Operation of the facilities would
require the permanent use of about 4.5 acres. The remaining 24.2 acres
would be restored or reverted 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 proposed project under these
general headings:
     Geology and soils;
     land use;
     water resources, fisheries, and wetlands;
     cultural resources;
     socioeconomics;
     vegetation and wildlife;
     air quality and noise;
     endangered and threatened species;
     public safety; and
     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.
    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 making 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, beginning on page 2.
    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction by law
and/or special expertise with respect to the environmental issues of
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. Currently, the Federal
Aviation Administration, U.S. Coast Guard, and U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Philadelphia District, have expressed their intention to
participate as a cooperating agency in the preparation of the EA to
satisfy their NEPA responsibilities related to this project.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Council on Environmental Quality regulations addressing
cooperating agency responsibilities are at Title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 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 the applicable State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPO), 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 SHPOs 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's regulations
are at Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Environmental Mailing List

    The environmental mailing list includes federal, state, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American Tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. This list also
includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission's
regulations) who are

potential right-of-way grantors, whose property may be used temporarily
for project purposes, or who own homes within certain distances of
aboveground facilities, and anyone who submits comments on the project.
We will update the environmental mailing list as the analysis proceeds
to ensure that we send the information related to this environmental
review to all individuals, organizations, and government entities
interested in and/or potentially affected by the proposed 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

    In addition to involvement in the EA scoping process, 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 ``Document-less Intervention Guide'' under the ``e-filing'' link on
the Commission's Web site. Motions to intervene are more fully
described at http://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-68906; File No. SR-ISE-2013-13]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule
Change To Amend the Schedule of Fees

February 12, 2013.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on February 4, 2013, the International Securities Exchange, LLC
(the ``Exchange'' or the ``ISE'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change, as
described in Items I, II, and III below, which items have been prepared
by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The ISE proposes to amend it [sic] Schedule of Fees to reflect a
change in the ticker symbol of one security subject to maker/taker fees
and rebates. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the
Exchange's Web site (http://www.ise.com), at the principal office of
the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange currently assesses per contract transaction fees and
provides rebates to market participants that add or remove liquidity
from the Exchange (``maker/taker fees and rebates'') in 190 options
classes (the ``Select Symbols'').\3\ The Exchange's maker/taker fees
and rebates are applicable to regular and complex orders executed in
the Select Symbols. The purpose of this proposed rule change is to
amend the list of Select Symbols on the Exchange's Schedule of Fees,
titled ``Rebates and Fees for Adding and Removing Liquidity in Select
Symbols.'' On January 31, 2013, Research in Motion, Limited announced
that effective February 4, 2013, the company is changing its ticker
symbol from RIMM to BBRY.\4\ RIMM is currently a Select Symbol and is
subject to the Exchange's maker/taker fees and rebates. With this
proposed rule change, the Exchange proposes to replace ticker symbol
RIMM with BBRY in the Exchange's list of Select Symbols. The Exchange's
maker/taker fees and rebates that were previously applicable to RIMM
will now apply to BBRY. The Exchange is not proposing any change to the
maker/taker fees and rebates with this proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Options classes subject to maker/taker fees and rebates are
identified by their ticker symbol on the Exchange's Schedule of
Fees.
    \4\ See http://press.blackberry.com/press/2013/rim-ticker-change-to-take-effect-monday-february-4.html.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange is not proposing any other changes in this filing.
2. Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to amend its Schedule of
Fees is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act \5\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \6\ in
particular, in that it is an equitable allocation of reasonable fees
and other charges among Exchange members and other persons using its
facilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange believes that it is reasonable to replace RIMM with
BBRY in its list of Select Symbols to continue attracting additional
order flow to the Exchange. This proposed rule change does not amend
any fees or rebates and simply proposes to reflect a change in Research
in Motion, Limited's ticker symbol from RIMM to BBRY. Additionally,
with this proposed rule change, the maker/taker fees and rebates
previously applicable to RIMM will now apply to BBRY.
    The Exchange believes that it is equitable to amend the list of
Select Symbols by replacing RIMM with BBRY because the list of Select
Symbols applies uniformly to all categories of participants in the same
manner. All market participants who trade the Select Symbols are
subject to and will continue to be subject to the applicable maker/
taker fees and rebates.

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

    This proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Exchange Act. The Exchange is not making any competitive change
with this proposed rule change. This proposed rule change simply
reflects a change in an underlying security's ticker symbol.

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

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested
parties.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \7\ and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder,\8\ because it establishes a due, fee, or other charge
imposed by ISE.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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