SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    1. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) proposes
to amend its regulations at 18 CFR 284.12 to incorporate by reference
the latest version (Version 1.9) of business practice standards adopted
by the Wholesale Gas Quadrant (WGQ) of the North American Energy
Standards Board (NAESB) applicable to natural gas pipelines.

I. Background

    2. Since 1996, the Commission has adopted regulations to
standardize the business practices and communication methodologies of
interstate natural gas pipelines to create a more integrated and
efficient pipeline grid. These regulations have been promulgated in the
Order No. 587 series of orders,\1\ wherein the Commission has
incorporated by reference standards for interstate natural gas pipeline
business practices and electronic communications that were developed
and adopted by NAESB's WGQ. Upon incorporation by reference by the
Commission, interstate natural gas pipelines must comply with the
requirements contained in the standards.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ This series of orders began with the Commission's issuance
of Standards for Business Practices of Interstate Natural Gas
Pipelines, Order No. 587, FERC Stats. & Regs. ] 31,038 (1996).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    3. On July 16, 2009, the Commission issued a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (July 16 NOPR) proposing to incorporate into the Commission
regulations by reference business practice standards adopted by NAESB's
WGQ for index-based pricing for capacity releases and for increasing
the flexibility of gas receipt and delivery points.\2\ Comments on this
notice have been received and the matter is currently pending
Commission action. These WGQ standards were filed with the Commission
September 14, 2007 and created and modified existing standards.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Standards for Business Practices of Interstate Natural Gas
Pipelines, 74 FR 36633 (July 24, 2009), FERC Stats. & Regs. ] 32,645
(July 16, 2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    4. On September 30, 2009, NAESB filed a report informing the
Commission that it had adopted and ratified Version 1.9 of its business
practice standards applicable to natural gas pipelines. Both this NOPR
and the July 16 NOPR are the result of a continuing effort by NAESB and
the gas industry to add additional specificity and functionality to gas
standards in several areas. For example, new or revised standards in
Version 1.9 include communication standards and protocols related to
the business practice standards dealing with index-based capacity
release, which the Commission proposed to adopt in the July 16 NOPR,
and new standards adopted in response to Order Nos. 698, 712, 717 and
682. These new and modified standards support the ability of pipelines
to redirect gas around constraints, provide additional gas quality and
transactional reporting, and create new standards for index-based
capacity release transactions and new information posting requirements
for Web sites and browsers.

II. Significant Changes and Additions Contained in the Version 1.9
Standards

A. Standards To Support Order No. 698 and Order No. 712

    5. In Order Nos. 698 and 698-A, the Commission requested that NAESB
develop or modify standards for business practices: (1) For index-based
pricing for capacity release transactions; (2) to allow for increased
receipt and delivery point flexibility through the use of redirects of
scheduled quantities; and (3) to modify the existing intra-day
nomination timeline.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Standards for Business Practices for Interstate Natural Gas
Pipelines, Order No. 698, FERC Stats. & Regs. ] 31,251 (2007), order
on clarification and reh'g, Order No. 698-A, 121 FERC ] 61,264
(2007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    6. In response to Order Nos. 698 and 698-A, NAESB's WGQ Business
Practice Subcommittee (BPS) adopted revised standards allowing index-
based pricing for capacity release transactions,\4\ and developed a
business practice standard to allow for increased receipt and delivery
point flexibility through the use of redirects of scheduled quantities.
NAESB was unable to reach consensus on standards relating to the intra-
day nomination timeline. The July 16 NOPR addressed the business
practice standards developed by NAESB in these areas.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ These included modification of three WGQ business practice
standards, and the development of ten new WGQ business practice
standards and two new WGQ definitions. These revisions are included
in the standards presented in NAESB's September 2009 Report to the
Commission. These revisions were first discussed in another NAESB
report (submitted on September 3, 2008) in which the WGQ BPS
discussed these business practices and the record developed by the
WGQ BPS and WGQ EC as they were considered.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    7. The Version 1.9 Standards provide details on the technical
implementation \5\ of index-based pricing for capacity release, and is
coordinated with some of the changes developed to accommodate the
determinations in Order Nos. 712 and 712-A \6\ with respect to capacity
release standards.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Technical implementation is accomplished through the
identification of the data required to support the transactions,
definitions of information and mapping of those data into specific
electronic transactions. This is outlined in the WGQ Capacity
Release Related Standards section of Version 1.9.
    \6\ Promotion of a More Efficient Capacity Release Market, Order
No. 712, FERC Stats. & Regs. ] 31,271 (2008), order on reh'g, Order
No. 712-A, FERC Stats. & Regs. ] 31,284 (2008).
    \7\ The standards include new NAESB WGQ Definitions Nos. 5.2.4 &
5.2.5, NAESB WGQ Standard Nos. 5.3.1, 5.3.3, 5.3.26, and 5.3.61--
5.3.69 and modifications to NAESB WGQ Standards Nos. 5.3.1, 5.3.3
and 5.3.26 and complementary modifications to the related data sets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Standards To Support Order No. 717

    8. In Order No. 717, the Commission amended the Standards of
Conduct for

Transmission Providers.\8\ In response to Order No. 717, the WGQ
Business Practice Subcommittee made modifications to NAESB WGQ Standard
No. 4.3.23 related to the Transportation Service Providers'
requirements for their Informational Postings Web site. The modified
standard includes a Standards of Conduct section where information can
be posted regarding affiliate or corporate transactions as well as
posting requirements for the Informational Postings Web site.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Standards of Conduct for Transmission Providers, Order No.
717, FERC Stats. & Regs. ] 31,280 at P 1 (2008).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

C. Posting of Gas Quality Information

    9. NAESB modified Gas Quality Standards Nos. 4.3.90 and 4.3.92 and
also added a new gas quality standard.\9\ The Version 1.9 Standards
related to the posting of gas quality information includes posting and
format requirements, provisions for Transportation Service Providers to
report hydrocarbon liquid drop out measurements and Informational
Postings Web site criteria.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ As discussed below, two other new gas quality standards
failed to be adopted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

D. Internet Communication Standards

    10. NAESB made a variety of technical and clean up revisions to the
standards. Several standards were modified in response to the Sandia
National Laboratories' security assessment of the NAESB communication
standards. NAESB also modified the standards to reflect changes in the
use of software used on the Internet, including support for Adobe Flash
Player and Active X control as Internet browser plug-ins, Mozilla
Firefox as another browser option, and the removal of Netscape as a
supporting browser.

III. Discussion

    11. In this NOPR, the Commission proposes to incorporate by
reference in its regulations Version 1.9 of the NAESB WGQ's consensus
standards,\10\ with two exceptions.\11\ Adoption of Version 1.9 will
continue the process of updating and improving NAESB's business
practice standards for the benefit of the wholesale gas market. The
most noteworthy of the standards are those addressing recent changes to
the Commission's regulations in Order Nos. 698 (gas-electric
coordination), 712 (capacity release), and 717 (standards of conduct),
and additional standards and revisions to standards that address
pipelines' posting of gas quality information, and Internet security
and communications.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ In its Version 1.9 Standards, the WEQ made the following
changes to its Version 1.8 standards: New Definitions Nos. 5.24,
5.25, and 11.21-11.2.5; Modified Definitions Nos. 10.2.8, 10.2.14,
10.2.24, 10.2.30-10.2.34, 10.2.37, and 10.2.38; New Standards Nos.
0.3.16, 0.3.17, 1.3.80, 4.3.94-4.3.99, 5.3.1, 5.3.3, 5.3.26, 5.3.61-
5.3.69, 10.1.10, 10.3.26, 10.3.27 11.31, and 11.32; Modified
Standards Nos. 4.1.39, 4.3.16, 4.3.23, 4.3.26, 4.3.29, 4.3.32,
4.3.33, 4.3.90, 4.3.92, 5.3.1, 5.3.3, 5.3.26, 10.2.8, 10.2.14,
10.2.24, 10.2.3-10.2.34, 10.2.37, 10.2.38, 10.3.13, 10.3.15, and
10.3.17; and miscellaneous maintenance clean-up revisions.
    \11\ The Commission is continuing its past practice and is not
proposing to incorporate by reference Standards 4.3.4 and 10.3.2.,
because they are inconsistent with the Commission's record retention
requirement in 18 CFR 284.12(b)(3)(v). See, e.g., Standards for
Business Practices for Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines, Final Rule,
Order No. 587-T, FERC Stats. & Regs. ] 31,289 at P 5 & n.9 (2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    12. In addition, the Version 1.9 standards include new or revised
standards that the Commission proposed to adopt in the July 16 NOPR;
these standards included updated communication protocols and other
standards for implementing the Commission's findings on improving
index-priced capacity release transactions and flexibility to designate
receipt and delivery points adopted in response to Order No. 698. New
standards in Version 1.9 include business practices and communication
protocols for implementing asset management agreements and the removal
of the price ceiling for capacity release transactions as permitted
under Order No. 712. They also contain revisions to the posting
requirements for affiliate information to be consistent with the new
requirements of Order No. 717. In addition, they contain further
refinements to the standards for posting gas quality information on
pipeline Web sites, in particular requirements for formatting
downloadable files. Finally, they contain standards that help to better
ensure the security of Internet communications and to accommodate
software changes in Internet usage.
    13. NAESB reports that two of its new gas quality standards failed
to pass as a result of a single segment failing to approve the
standard. One of the blocked standards would have required a pipeline
that currently does not post a Wobbe number \12\ to post gas quality
information on its Web site and to calculate and post a Wobbe number
when notified by a Service Requestor of its desire to begin discussing
the interchangeability of gas supplies. The other blocked standard
would have added to an existing requirement that pipelines propose an
additional requirement that three months of historical gas quality data
be downloadable based on a given date range.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ The Wobbe number or Wobbe index is named after Goffredo
Wobbe, an Italian physicist who developed a formula to compare the
characteristics of two gasses. The Wobbe index is a measure of the
physical combustion characteristics of natural gas used in the
natural gas industry to ensure that natural gas from different
sources is compatible with gas-burning equipment in a particular
service area. See Williams, Technical Background and Issues of Gas
Interchangeability, 27 (AGA Staff Paper, 2006) (http://www.aga.org/
NR/rdonlyres/C9D9FB1D-E244-4B9D-9C67-5FA74C24A8E0/0/
0604GASINTERCHANGEABILITYSTAFFPAPER.pdf.).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    14. The Commission does not currently require pipelines to use the
Wobbe number in calculating gas quality, and NAESB's September 30
Report shows that no consensus to approve such a requirement has been
achieved. Nor has any showing been made of a need for a nationwide
requirement for providing a Wobbe number applicable to those pipelines
whose tariffs do not require the use of a Wobbe number. Accordingly,
the Commission is not proposing to create any such requirement in this
NOPR. Issues regarding gas quality, including the use of the Wobbe
number, can be addressed in individual Commission proceedings involving
gas quality when relevant. With respect to the blocked standard
regarding downloading, the existing NAESB standards, 4.3.90, 4.3.91,
and 4.3.92, already require pipelines to provide a downloadable file,
with a standardized file format, of gas quality information for each
identified location for a three month period. We therefore see no need
for Commission intervention on the question of whether it is more
efficient for the pipeline or the shipper to select the date range from
the data provided.
    15. As the Commission found in Order No. 587, adoption of consensus
standards is appropriate because the consensus process helps ensure the
reasonableness of the standards by requiring that the standards draw
support from a broad spectrum of industry participants representing all
segments of the industry.\13\ Moreover, since the industry itself has
to conduct business under these standards, the Commission's regulations
should reflect those standards that have the widest possible support.
In section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (NTT&AA), Congress affirmatively requires federal

agencies to use technical standards developed by voluntary consensus
standards organizations, like NAESB, as means to carry out policy
objectives or activities.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ The NAESB process first requires a super-majority vote of
17 out of 25 members of the WGQ's Executive Committee with support
from at least two members from each of the five industry segments--
Distributors, End Users, Pipelines, Producers, and Services
(including marketers and computer service providers). For final
approval, 67 percent of the WGQ's general membership voting must
ratify the standards.
    \14\ Public Law No. 104-113, section 12(d), 110 Stat. 775
(1996), 15 U.S.C. 272 note (1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    16. The Commission proposes that natural gas pipelines be required
to implement the Version 1.9 Standards on the first day of the month
three months after a final rule is issued. Based on past practice, we
are proposing this implementation schedule to give the natural gas
pipelines subject to these standards adequate time to prepare to
implement for these changes. In addition, the Commission proposes that
pipelines be required to file tariff sheets to reflect the changed
standards two months before the implementation date.

IV. Notice of Use of Voluntary Consensus Standards

    17. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-119 (section 11)
(February 10, 1998) provides that federal agencies should publish a
request for comment in a NOPR when the agency is seeking to issue or
revise a regulation proposing to adopt a voluntary consensus standard
or a government-unique standard. In this NOPR, the Commission is
proposing to incorporate by reference voluntary consensus standards
developed by the WGQ.

V. Information Collection Statement

    18. The following collection of information contained in this
proposed rule has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review under section 3507(d) of the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3507(d). The Commission solicits comments on the
Commission's need for this information, whether the information will
have practical utility, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates,
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondents'
burden, including the use of automated information techniques. The
following burden estimates include the costs to implement the WGQ's
definitions and business practice standards for interstate natural gas
pipelines and electronic communication protocols. The burden estimates
are primarily related to start-up to implement these standards and
regulations and will not result in ongoing costs.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                     Number of

    Total Annual Hours for Collection (Reporting and Recordkeeping, (if
appropriate)) = 3,696.
    Information Collection Costs: The Commission seeks comments on the
costs to comply with these requirements. It has projected the average
annualized cost for all respondents to be the following: \15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ The total annualized cost for the two information
collections is $554,400. This number is reached by multiplying the
total hours to prepare a response (hours) by an hourly wage estimate
of $150 (a composite estimate that includes legal, technical and
support staff rates). $554,400 = $150 x 3,696.

    19. OMB regulations \16\ require OMB to approve certain information
collection requirements imposed by agency rule. The Commission is
submitting notification of this proposed rule to OMB. These information
collections are mandatory requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ 5 CFR 1320.11.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Title: Standards for Business Practices of Interstate Natural Gas
Pipelines (FERC-549C).
    Action: Proposed collections.
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0174.
    Respondents: Business or other for profit, (Natural Gas Pipelines
(not applicable to small businesses.))
    Frequency of Responses: One-time implementation (business
procedures, capital/start-up).
    Necessity of Information: The proposals in this NOPR would, if
implemented, upgrade the Commission's current business practices and
communication standards in response to the Commission's determinations
in Order Nos. 682, 698, 698-A, 712 and 717, and would: revise standards
allowing index-based pricing for capacity release transactions and
allow for increased receipt and delivery point flexibility through the
use of redirects of scheduled quantities; create information posting
requirements for Web sites and browsers; require the posting of gas
quality information including posting and format requirements; report
hydrocarbon liquid drop out measurements; and create standards to
reflect changes in the use of software used on the Internet.
    20. The implementation of these data requirements will increase the
efficiency of the capacity release market and the ability to schedule
gas around constraints, will provide additional transparency to
informational posting Web sites, will improve gas quality measurements
and will improve communication standards. The implementation of these
standards and regulations will promote the additional efficiency and
reliability of the gas industries' operations thereby helping the
Commission to carry out its responsibilities under the Natural Gas Act
of promoting the efficiency and reliability of the gas industries'
operations. In addition, the Commission's Office of Energy Market and
Regulation will use the data for general industry oversight.
    21. Internal Review: The Commission has reviewed the requirements
pertaining to business practices of natural gas pipelines and made a
preliminary determination that the proposed revisions are necessary to
establish more efficient coordination between the gas and electric
industries. Requiring such information ensures both a common means of
communication and common business practices to limit miscommunication
for participants engaged in the sale of electric energy at wholesale
and the transportation of natural gas. These requirements conform to
the Commission's plan for efficient information collection,
communication, and management within the natural gas pipeline
industries. The Commission has assured itself, by means of its

internal review, that there is specific, objective support for the
burden estimates associated with the information requirements.
    22. Interested persons may obtain information on the reporting
requirements by contacting the following: Federal Energy Regulatory

VI. Environmental Analysis

    24. The Commission is required to prepare an Environmental
Assessment or an Environmental Impact Statement for any action that may
have a significant adverse effect on the human environment.\17\ The
Commission has categorically excluded certain actions from these
requirements as not having a significant effect on the human
environment.\18\ The actions proposed here fall within categorical
exclusions in the Commission's regulations for rules that are
clarifying, corrective, or procedural, for information gathering,
analysis, and dissemination, and for sales, exchange, and
transportation of natural gas that requires no construction of
facilities.\19\ Therefore, an environmental assessment is unnecessary
and has not been prepared as part of this NOPR.

VII. Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification

    25. The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA) \20\ generally
requires a description and analysis of final rules that will have
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
In drafting a rule an agency is required to: (1) Assess the effect that
its regulation will have on small entities; (2) analyze effective
alternatives that may minimize a regulation's impact; and (3) make the
analysis available for public comment.\21\ Based on our analysis of the
requirements proposed in this NOPR, we do not think the proposed rule
will have a significant impact on a substantial number of small
entities.

33 CFR Part 100

[Docket Number USCG-2021-0873]
RIN 1625-AA08

Special Local Regulations; Sector Ohio Valley Annual and
Recurring Special Local Regulations, Update

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes amending and updating its special
local regulations for recurring marine parades, regattas, and other
events that take place in the Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley's Area of
Responsibility (AOR). This proposed rule would update the current list
of recurring special local regulations with revisions, additions, and
removals of events that no longer take place in the Sector Ohio
Valley's AOR. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before January 7, 2022.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2021-0873 using the Federal Decision Making Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this
proposed rulemaking, call or email Petty Officer Christopher Roble,
Sector Ohio Valley, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, email
[email protected].

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
COTP Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley
DHS Department of Homeland Security
E.O. Executive order
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Pub. L. Public Law
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) proposes to
update the current list of recurring special local regulations found in
Table 1 of Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) section
100.801 for events occurring within the Sector Ohio Valley's Area of
Responsibility (AOR) within the Coast Guard's Eighth District.
    This proposed rule would update the list of annually recurring
special local regulations under 33 CFR 100.801, Table 1, for annual
special local regulations in the Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. The Coast
Guard will address all comments via the rulemaking process, including
additional revisions to this regulatory section. Additionally, the
public would be informed of these recurring events through local means
and planned by the local communities. The current list of annual and
recurring special local regulations occurring in Sector Ohio Valley's
AOR is published in 33 CFR 100.801, Table 1 titled ``Annual Marine
Events in the Eighth Coast Guard District''. The most recent list was
published via the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (86 FR 10894) on
February 23, 2021.
    The Coast Guard's authority for establishing a special local
regulation is contained in 46 U.S.C. 70041(a). The Coast Guard proposes
to amend and update the special local regulations in 33 CFR 100.801,
Table 1, to include the most up to date list of recurring special local
regulations for events held on or around the navigable waters within
Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. These events would include marine parades,
boat races, swim events, and other marine related events. The current
list under 33 CFR 100.801, Table 1, requires amendment to provide new
information on existing special local regulations, add new special
local regulations expected to recur annually or biannually, and to
remove special local regulations that no longer occur. Issuing
individual regulations for each new special local regulation,
amendment, or removal of an existing special local regulation creates
unnecessary administrative costs and burdens. This single proposed
rulemaking would considerably reduce administrative overhead and
provide the public with notice through publication in the Federal
Register of recurring special local regulations in the AOR.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    Part 100 of title 33 of the CFR contains regulations describing
regattas and marine parades conducted on the U.S. navigable waters in
order to ensure the safety of life in the regulated areas. Section
100.801 of the title provides the regulations applicable to events
taking place in the Eighth Coast Guard District and also provides a
table listing each event and special local regulations. This section
requires amendment from time to time to properly reflect the recurring
special local regulations. This proposed rule would update section
100.801, Table 1 titled ``Annual Marine Events in the Eighth Coast
Guard District.''
    This proposed rule would add 5 new recurring special local
regulation to Table 1 to Sec.  100.801 for Sector Ohio Valley, as
follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 Date                       Event/sponsor         Ohio Valley location        Regulated area

                                                                                (Tennessee).

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

    This proposed rule would amend 1 new recurring special local
regulation to Table 1 to Sec.  100.801 for Sector Ohio Valley, as
follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 Date                       Event/sponsor         Ohio Valley location        Regulated area

                                                                                (Kentucky).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The effect of this proposed rule would be to restrict general
navigation during these events. Vessels intending to transit the
designated waterways during effective periods of the special local
regulations would only be allowed to transit the area when the COTP or
or designated representative, has deemed it would safe to do so or at
the completion of the event.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed 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 NPRM has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, the NPRM
has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
    The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this proposed rule
to be minimal, therefore a full regulatory evaluation is unnecessary.
This proposed rule would establish special local regulations limiting
access to certain areas described in 33 CFR 100.801, Table 1. The
effect of this proposed rulemaking would not be significant because
these special local regulations are limited in scope and duration.
Additionally, the public would be given advance notification through
local forms of notice, the Federal Register, and/or Notices of
Enforcement. Thus, the public would be able to plan their operations
and activities around enforcement times of the special local
regulations. The COTP would issue Broadcast Notices to Mariners, Local
Notices to Mariners, and Safety Marine Information Broadcasts, as
appropriate, to inform the community of these special local
regulations. Vessel traffic would be permitted to request permission
from the COTP or a designated representative to enter the restricted
areas.

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 certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
regulated area may be small entities, for reasons stated in section
IV.A. above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic
impact on any owner or operator because they are limited in scope and
will be in effect for short periods of time.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this proposed rule
would have a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment
(see ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to
what degree this rule would economically affect it.
    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 proposed rule. If the proposed 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. The Coast Guard will not
retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this
proposed rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would 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 proposed 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 proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175 (Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments) because it would 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. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please call or email the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.

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 proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the potential effects of
this proposed rule elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed 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 made
a preliminary determination

that this action is one of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. Normally such actions are categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph L61 of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS
Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. of the Instruction because it
involves establishment of special local regulations related to marine
event permits for marine parades, regattas, and other marine events. We
seek any comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a
significant environmental impact from this proposed rule.

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. CP12-38-000]

 Trunkline Gas Company, LLC; Notice of Amendment

    Take notice that on December 22, 2011, Trunkline Gas Company, LLC
(Trunkline), P.O. Box 4967, Houston, Texas 77210-4967, filed an
application in Docket No. CP12-38-000, to amend its Certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity issued April 8, 2011 pursuant to
section 7 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), authorizing Trunkline to
isolate its South Texas System (System), make minor modifications to
convert the System to bi-directional flow, provide for liquids-rich gas
transportation and abandon certain facilities. In this amendment,
Trunkline requests authorization to relocate its delivery point to DCP
Midstream, LP to a point located approximately 1\3/4\ mile southwest of
the existing Edna Compressor Station, all as more fully set forth in
the application which is on file with the Commission and open for
public inspection.
    Any questions regarding the applications should be directed to
Stephen T. Veatch, Sr., Director, Certificates and Tariffs, Trunkline
Gas Company, LLC, 5444 Westheimer Road, Houston, Texas 77056; or call
at<PHONE_NUMBER><EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project

should, on or before the comment date stated below, file with the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington,
DC 20426, a motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 7 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 commentors 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 commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors 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.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 7 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington,
DC 20426.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC.
    There is an ``eSubscription'' link on the Web site that enables
subscribers to receive email notification when a document is added to a
subscribed docket(s). For assistance with any FERC Online service,
