[Docket Nos. CP11-67-000; PF10-21-000]

Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on January 25, 2011, Texas Eastern Transmission,
LP (Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 77056, filed
in the above referenced docket an application under sections 7(b) and
7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for its proposed TEAM 2012 Project.
Specifically, Texas Eastern requests: (i) Authorization under NGA
sections 7(b) and 7(c) to construct, own, operate, and maintain certain
pipeline and compression facilities and related appurtenances and to
abandon in place certain compression facilities necessary to increase
capacity on the Texas Eastern system by approximately 190,000
dekatherms per day (Dth/d) from supply points in Clarington, Ohio and
the Appalachian area to proposed interconnections in central and
eastern Pennsylvania; (ii) authority to charge initial incremental
recourse rates for firm service on the TEAM 2012 Project facilities and
existing system rates for interruptible service on such facilities; and
(iii) any waivers, authority, and further relief as may be necessary to
implement the proposal contained in its application. Texas Eastern
estimates its TEAM 2012 project to cost $204,471,000, all as more fully
set forth in the application. This filing is available for review at
the Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary''
link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the
docket number field to access the document. For assistance, please
contact FERC Online Support at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll free
at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or for TTY, contact<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Texas Eastern requests that the Commission grant the requested
authorizations and related approvals on or before October 31, 2011 to
ensure that the TEAM 2012 Project is on-line by November 1, 2012, in
time to meet the service needs of the TEAM 2012 shippers and to ensure
that additional capacity is available at the earliest possible time to
facilitate the transportation of new supplies, including Rocky Mountain
supplies and supplies from the emerging Marcellus shale play.
    Any questions regarding this Application should be directed to Berk
Donaldson, Director, Rates and Certificates, Texas Eastern
Transmission, LP, P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642, by phone:
(713) 627-4488 or by fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    On June 28, 2010, the Commission staff granted Texas Eastern's
request to utilize the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Pre-
Filling Process and assigned Docket Number PF10-21-000 to staff
activities involving the TEAM 2012 Project. Now, as of the filing Texas
Eastern's application on January 25, 2011, the NEPA Pre-Filling Process
for this project has ended. From this time forward, Texas Eastern's
proceeding will be conducted in Docket No. CP11-67-000, 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 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 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426.
    Comment Date: February 28, 2011.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 1494-437]

Grand River Dam Authority; Notice of Availability of Final
Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC's)
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 380, the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed an application filed by the Grand River
Dam Authority (GRDA) to permanently amend the reservoir elevation rule
curve contained in Article 401 of the license for the Pensacola
Hydroelectric Project No. 1494. The amendment would allow GRDA to keep
water surface elevations in the project's reservoir, Grand Lake O' the
Cherokees (Grand Lake), up to two feet higher August 16 through October
31 each year. The project is located on the Neosho (Grand) River in
Craig, Delaware, Mayes, and Ottawa Counties, Oklahoma.
    Staff prepared a Final Environmental Assessment (Final EA) for the
application which analyzes the potential environmental effects of
approving the requested permanent change to the Article 401 rule curve
and concludes that such an approval, with specified environmental
protection measures, would not constitute a major federal action that
would significantly affect the quality of the human environment. A copy
of the Final EA is available for review at the Commission's Public
Reference Room or may it be viewed on the Commission's Web site at
www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link. Enter the docket number P-1494 in

[EPA-R03-OAR-2017-0396; FRL-9981-96--Region 3]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Maryland; 2011 Base Year Inventory for the 2008 8-Hour Ozone National
Ambient Air Quality Standard for the Baltimore, Maryland Nonattainment
Area

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a state
implementation plan (SIP) revision for the 2011 base year inventory for
the Baltimore, Maryland moderate nonattainment area for the 2008 8-hour
ozone national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS). The State of
Maryland submitted the emission inventory through the Maryland
Department of the Environment (MDE) to meet the nonattainment
requirements for moderate ozone nonattainment areas for the 2008 8-hour
ozone NAAQS. EPA is approving the 2011 base year emissions inventory
for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS as a revision to the Maryland state
implementation plan (SIP) in accordance with the requirements of the
Clean Air Act (CAA).

DATES: This final rule is effective on September 10, 2018.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
Number EPA-R03-OAR-2017-0396. All documents in the docket are listed on
the http://www.regulations.gov website. Although listed in the index,
some information is not publicly available, e.g., confidential business

information.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Rehn,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by
email at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On July 18, 1997, EPA promulgated a revised ozone NAAQS of 0.08
ppm, averaged over eight hours. 62 FR 38855. This 8-hour ozone NAAQS
was determined to be more protective of public health than the previous
1979 1-hour ozone NAAQS. See 44 FR 8202 (February 8, 1979). In 2008,
EPA revised the 8-hour ozone NAAQS from 0.08 to 0.075 ppm. See 73 FR
16436 (March 27, 2008).\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ On October 1, 2015, EPA strengthened the 8-hour ozone NAAQS
to 0.070 ppm. See 80 FR 65292 (October 16, 2015). This rulemaking
addresses the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS and does not address the 2015
8-hour ozone NAAQS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On May 21, 2012, the Baltimore, Maryland area was designated as
moderate nonattainment for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS. 77 FR 30088.
The designation of the Baltimore, Maryland area as moderate
nonattainment was effective July 20, 2012. The Baltimore, Maryland
nonattainment area is comprised of Anne Arundel County, Baltimore
County, Baltimore City, Carroll County, Harford County, and Howard
County. Under section 172(c)(3) of the CAA, Maryland is required to
submit a comprehensive, accurate, and current inventory of actual
emissions from all sources of the relevant pollutants in its moderate
nonattainment area.
    On October 3, 2017 (82 FR 46010 and 82 FR 45997), EPA
simultaneously published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) and a
direct final rule (DFR) for the State of Maryland approving the SIP
revision. EPA received adverse comments on the rulemaking and withdrew
the DFR prior to the effective date of December 4, 2017. In this final
rulemaking, EPA is responding to the comments submitted on the proposed
revision to the Maryland SIP and is approving Maryland's 2011 base year
emissions inventory for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS.

II. Summary of SIP Revision and EPA Analysis

    Under CAA section 172(c)(3), states are required to submit a
comprehensive, accurate, and current account of actual emissions from
all sources (point, nonpoint, nonroad, and onroad) in the nonattainment
area. CAA section 182(a)(1) and (b) requires that areas designated as
nonattainment and classified as moderate submit an inventory of all
sources of ozone precursors no later than 2 years after the effective
date of designation.
    On December 30, 2016, MDE submitted a formal revision (SIP #16-16)
to its SIP. The SIP revision consists of the 2011 base year inventory
for the Baltimore, Maryland nonattainment area for the 2008 8-hour
ozone NAAQS. In accordance with EPA's requirements for ozone SIP
planning, ``Implementation of the 2008 National Ambient Air Quality
Standards for Ozone: State Implementation Plan Requirements,'' MDE
selected 2011 for its base year emissions inventory. See 80 FR 12263
(March 6, 2015). MDE's 2011 base year inventory includes emissions
estimates covering the general source categories of stationary point,
area (nonpoint), quasi-point, nonroad mobile, onroad mobile, and
Marine-Air-Rail (M-A-R).
    EPA reviewed Maryland's 2011 base year emission inventory's
results, procedures, and methodologies for the Baltimore, Maryland
moderate nonattainment area and found them to meet the applicable
requirements for approval under sections 110, 172(c)(3) and 182(a)(1)
and (b) of the CAA.
    Other specific requirements of Maryland's 2011 base year emissions
inventory for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS and the rationale for EPA's
proposed action are explained in the prior direct final rule (DFR) and
its accompanying NPR and will not be restated here. EPA received public
comments on the NPR that will be addressed in section III of this
rulemaking.

III. Response to Comments

    During the comment period, EPA received several anonymous comments
on this rulemaking. EPA is responding to the comments submitted
specific to this action on the proposed revision to the Maryland SIP.
All other comments received were not specific to this action and thus
are not addressed here.
    Comment 1: The Commenter claims Maryland assumed Stage II controls
were in effect even though the State has ``exercised enforcement
discretion for new and existing sources effectively eliminating all
reductions from any [Stage II] controls.'' Commenter provides a
memorandum from MDE's Air & Radiation Management Administration (ARMA)
titled ``Stage II Vapor Recovery Systems--Enforcement Discretion Policy
(March 20, 2014).''
    Response 1: EPA notes that Maryland's 2011 base year emissions
inventory analysis for the 2008 ozone NAAQS was performed for calendar
year 2011 using 2011 emissions data. Maryland continued to implement
and enforce the Stage II program prior to issuance of MDE's enforcement
policy on March 6, 2014, suspending state enforcement of the program
from that time forward. Maryland intended to subsequently repeal the
Stage II rule and to submit to EPA a SIP revision to remove the program
from the SIP. Maryland submitted a SIP revision to EPA to remove the
Stage II program from the SIP on August 28, 2017. However, the Stage II
program was in operation and was being enforced in 2011. Therefore, EPA
believes Maryland correctly estimated its 2011 emission inventory to
include the Stage II program as an implemented, enforceable emission
control measure. Therefore, EPA finds Maryland correctly estimated its
emissions inventory to reflect Stage II as a control measure in place
in the 2011 base year inventory period.
    Comment 2: Commenter claims that the emissions calculations for
``Open Burning--Land Clearing'' uses an ozone

season of only 92 days, which is not even half of the full ozone
season.
    Response 2: Maryland chose to use the peak ozone period of June to
August (92 days) for the ``Open Burning--Land Clearing'' emissions
calculations as their ozone season.\2\ Under EPA's ``Emissions
Inventory Guidance for Implementation of Ozone and Particulate Matter
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and Regional Haze
Regulations (July 2017),'' the state shall ``select the representative
months and work week days to include in the calculation of the ozone
season day emissions. The temporal basis for these emissions should be
representative of the conditions leading to nonattainment, as
recommended by the state.'' \3\ EPA finds that Maryland's calculations
in the 2016 SIP submittal comply with the current guidance in choosing
to select June to August as the ozone season for the ``Open Burning--
Land Clearing'' emissions calculations, as Maryland states these months
are typically peak ozone season.

    \3\ See https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2017-07/documents/ei_guidance_may_2017_final_rev.pdf, page 72.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Comment 3: Maryland assumed that ``commercial and industrial
sources only operated 6 days a week instead of 7.'' Commenter notes
that ``nothing in Maryland prevents businesses from operating 7 days a
week and so Maryland should have used 7 days a week.''
    Response 3: While Commenter is not specific as to which commercial
and industrial sources are of concern, EPA's Emission Inventory
Improvement Program (EIIP) guidance (May 2001) provides flexibility in
the operation days. For example, the guidance for solvent cleaning
operations states, ``Daily variations may apply for some of the
industries. Some industries operate seven days per week, others only
five days. Some industries are likely to operate two or three shifts
per day, others may only have one.'' Therefore, ``the default value of
uniform activity through the year is six days per week.'' \4\ EPA finds
that Maryland performed the calculations in accordance with the EIIP
guidance.\5\

reports.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Comment 4: Commenter claims Maryland's inspection and maintenance
(I/M) program is improperly represented in the emission modeling
parameters selected by Maryland in the Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator
(MOVES) modeling used to estimate the highway mobile source emissions
portion of the emission inventory, which are used to calculate
emissions benefits from the I/M program. The commenter claims MOVES
parameters for I/M program coverage incorrectly included an I/M program
motorist compliance rate of over 96% when the state is known to ``have
a large number of (vehicle) failures that never return to get
rechecked.'' Additionally, the commenter states that ``Maryland allows
for almost 6 months of extensions after first testing and finding a
problem that has to be fixed. This means that if a car is failing in
the second half of the year it is possible to have a violating vehicle
for the rest of the year meaning compliance is not achieved.''
Commenter would like EPA to require Maryland to use actual I/M data
collected by the Maryland program to be used to set the I/M program
parameters of the MOVES model instead of MOVES default parameters as
this would reduce the reductions attributed to the I/M program and
change the area's overall emissions inventory.
    Response 4: The I/M program motorist compliance rate is represented
by the number of complying vehicles (i.e., vehicles with a confirmed
final I/M test outcome, either passing the test or receiving a waiver
from doing so) divided by the number of vehicles subject to testing in
the area x 100. Maryland collects statistics for its Vehicle Emissions
Inspection Program (VEIP) on an ongoing basis, and per a requirement of
the federal requirements for I/M programs, annually reports program
summary data to EPA for the prior calendar year. For purposes of the
2011 base year inventory, the relevant I/M annual report from Maryland
to EPA was submitted on August 15, 2012, representing calendar year
2011.\6\ For 2011, MDE reported that a total of 1,562,895 vehicles were
tested under the VEIP program. Of these, 1,424,557 vehicles initially
passed and 138,338 vehicles failed the VEIP test. Of the initial
failures, 14,442 ultimately received a test ``waiver'' outcome after
spending money for repairs up to a limit established by the VEIP
program (but still not passing a test). Therefore, a total of 1,438,99
out of 1,562,895 vehicles received some form of final VEIP test outcome
(either a passing test or a waiver) by the end of calendar year 2011,
for a 92% compliance rate. However, Maryland calculated an overall 97%
I/M program motorist compliance rate for the 2011 calendar year, when
taking into account vehicles that received legally granted compliance
extensions, but received a final outcome by the following July.\7\
Maryland's 2011 I/M report tracks outcomes for these delayed compliance
vehicles from the end of 2011 through July 2012 and factors them into
an adjusted compliance rate for calendar year 2011. In doing so, MDE
has attempted to account for many of the initially failing vehicles in
the 2011 calendar year that did not receive a final I/M test outcome by
the end of 2011. Taking into account these late complying vehicles, as
well as vehicles that were identified as having been scrapped or
relocated outside the I/M program area, MDE's calculated motorist
compliance rate reached 96%, very near to the compliance rate assumed
by MDE in the MOVES modeling performed to support the 2011 base year
emission inventory.\8\ EPA finds that the MDE made a reasonable
estimate of I/M program motorist compliance rate for its base year
inventory. Based on our review of state-reported 2011 I/M program data,
EPA disagrees with the Commenter that the I/M program motorist
compliance rate assumed by MDE for the base year inventory was not

    Comment 5: Commenter requests that EPA fully evaluate all
calculations to ensure Maryland has used the proper methodologies and
assumptions.
    Response 5: EPA has reviewed the stationary point source, area
source, highway mobile, and nonroad mobile source sector emissions
estimates for the 2011 base year inventory and is satisfied that MDE
has followed the appropriate guidelines and used the latest available
information to support its base year inventory estimates. EPA has
reviewed the 2011 base year inventory for the Baltimore, Maryland
moderate nonattainment area for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS and finds
that Maryland has followed the guidance for a base year inventory
submission.

IV. Final Action

    EPA is approving the Maryland SIP revision which includes the 2011
base year inventory for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS for the Baltimore,
Maryland moderate nonattainment area because the inventory was prepared
in accordance with requirements in sections 110, 172(c)(3) and
182(a)(1) and

(b) of the CAA and its implementing regulations including 40 CFR
51.915.
    After receipt of adverse public comment on our prior direct final
rule, EPA published an action to withdrawal the direct final rule (82
FR 66611, November 22, 2017). This withdrawal occurred prior to the
effective date for the direct final action, preventing 40 CFR
52.1075(r) from being added to the SIP through the direct final action.
With this final rule, EPA is now adding 40 CFR 52.1075(r) to Maryland's
SIP.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
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 action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866.
     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 CAA; and
     does not provide 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 EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by October 9, 2018. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action.
    This action approving Maryland's 2011 base year inventory for the
2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS for the Baltimore, Maryland moderate
nonattainment area may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

inventory includes emissions estimates that cover the general source
categories of stationary point, quasi-point, area (nonpoint), nonroad
mobile, onroad mobile, and Marine-Air-Rail (M-A-R). The inventory
includes actual annual emissions and typical summer day emissions for
the months of May through September for the ozone precursors, VOC and
NOX.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 64

[Docket ID FEMA-2017-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-8469]

Suspension of Community Eligibility

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: On March 13, 2017, FEMA published in the Federal Register a
suspension of community eligibility final rule that contained an
erroneous table. This final rule provides corrections to that table, to
be used in lieu of the information published at 82 FR 13399. The table
provided here represents the communities that are scheduled for
suspension on the effective dates listed within this rule because of
noncompliance with the floodplain management requirements of the
program.

DATES: The effective date of each community's scheduled suspension is
the third date (``Susp.'') listed in the third column of the following
tables.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you want to determine whether a
particular community was suspended on the suspension date or for
further information, contact Patricia Suber, Federal Insurance and
Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 400 C
Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>. Also, information
identifying the current participation status of a community can be
obtained from FEMA's Community Status Book (CSB). The CSB is available
at https://www.fema.gov/national-flood-insurance-program-community-status-book.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP enables property owners to purchase
Federal flood insurance that is not otherwise generally available from
private insurers. In return, communities agree to adopt and administer
local floodplain management measures aimed at protecting lives and new
construction from future flooding. Section 1315 of the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits the sale
of NFIP flood insurance unless an appropriate public body adopts
adequate floodplain management measures with effective enforcement
measures. The communities listed in this document no longer meet that
statutory requirement for compliance with program regulations, 44 CFR
part 59. Accordingly, the communities will be suspended on the
effective date in the third column. As of that date, flood insurance
will no longer be available in the community. We recognize that some of
these communities may adopt and submit the required documentation of
legally enforceable floodplain management measures after this rule is
published but prior to the actual suspension date. These communities
will not be suspended and will continue to be eligible for the sale of
NFIP flood insurance. A notice withdrawing the suspension of such
communities will be published in the Federal Register.
    In addition, FEMA publishes a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) that
identifies the Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) in these communities.
The date of the FIRM, if one has been published, is indicated in the
fourth column of the table. No direct Federal financial assistance
(except assistance pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act not in connection with a flood) may be
provided for construction or acquisition of buildings in identified
SFHAs for communities not participating in the NFIP and identified for
more than a year on FEMA's initial FIRM for the community as having
flood-prone areas (section 202(a) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act
of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4106(a), as amended). This prohibition against
certain types of Federal assistance becomes effective for the
communities listed on the date shown in the last column. The
Administrator finds that notice and public comment procedures under 5
U.S.C. 553(b), are impracticable and unnecessary because communities
listed in this final rule have been adequately notified.
    Each community receives 6-month, 90-day, and 30-day notification
letters addressed to the Chief Executive Officer stating that the
community will be suspended unless the required floodplain management
measures are met prior to the effective suspension date. Since these
notifications were made, this final rule may take effect within less
than 30 days.

Correction

    In the suspension of community eligibility final rule published at
82 FR 13399 in the March 13, 2017 issue of the Federal Register, FEMA
published a table titled Suspension of Community Eligibility Internal
Agency Docket No. FEMA-8469. This table contained inaccurate
information as to the date the communities were to be suspended
featured in the table. The Cities of Lakewood and Ruston, Pierce
County, Washington, remain eligible for suspension. The other
communities listed in the incorrect table came into compliance and thus
were not suspended. In this document, FEMA is publishing a table
containing the accurate information. The information provided below
should be used in lieu of that previously published.
    National Environmental Policy Act. FEMA has determined that the
community suspension(s) included in this rule is a non-discretionary
action and therefore the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) does not apply.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Administrator has determined that
this rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act because the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended,
Section 1315, 42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage unless
an appropriate public body adopts adequate floodplain management
measures with effective enforcement measures. The communities listed no
longer comply with the statutory requirements, and after the effective
date, flood insurance will no longer be available in the communities
unless remedial action takes place.
    Regulatory Classification. This final rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
51735.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This rule involves no policies
that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule meets the
applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.
    Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule does not involve any collection
of information for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2014-N-1006]

Providing Regulatory Submissions in Electronic Format--Certain
Human Pharmaceutical Product Applications and Related Submissions Using
the eCTD Specifications (Revision 7); Guidance for Industry;
Availability

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or the Agency) is
announcing the availability of a final guidance for industry entitled
``Providing Regulatory Submissions in Electronic Format--Certain Human
Pharmaceutical Product Applications and Related Submissions Using the
eCTD Specifications (Revision 7).'' FDA has identified certain
submission types that warrant an exemption (Type III drug master files
(DMFs)) or a long-term waiver (certain positron emission tomography
(PET) drug products and certain Type II DMFs supporting PET drugs or
noncommercial submissions or applications) from the requirement to
submit to the Agency in electronic common technical document (eCTD)
format. In addition, this guidance outlines certain circumstances where
FDA may determine that a short-term waiver from eCTD submission
requirements could be granted. This guidance finalizes the revised
draft guidance of the same title issued in July 2019 and replaces the
final guidance issued in January 2019 (Revision 6).

DATES: The announcement of the guidance is published in the Federal
Register on February 24, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry
entitled ``Providing Regulatory Submissions in Electronic Format--
Certain Human Pharmaceutical Product Applications and Related
Submissions Using the eCTD Specifications (Revision 7).'' This guidance
provides information regarding submission types that warrant an
exemption or long-term waiver from Agency eCTD requirements. In
addition, this guidance outlines certain circumstances where FDA will
consider granting short-term waivers from eCTD submission requirements.
This guidance is intended to address current concerns raised with FDA
regarding the burden of complying with eCTD submission requirements,
which could have unintended public health consequences.
    This guidance finalizes the draft guidance entitled ``Providing
Regulatory Submissions in Electronic Format--Certain Human
Pharmaceutical Product Applications and Related Submissions Using the
Electronic Common Technical Document Specifications (Revision 7)''
issued on July 16, 2019 (84 FR 33949). The Agency received comments on
the draft guidance requesting that FDA clarify certain requirements
relating to Type III DMF submissions. The Agency considered these
comments and made technical and editorial changes for clarity, where
appropriate. For example, ``noncommercial products'' was changed to
``noncommercial INDs'' to clarify the type of submissions referenced in
that section of the guidance. In addition, the FDA Electronic
Submissions Gateway (ESG) waiver request submission option has been
removed to avoid confusion when selecting from the ESG drop-down
options.
    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the
current thinking of FDA on ``Providing Regulatory Submissions in
Electronic Format--Certain Human Pharmaceutical Product Applications
and Related Submissions Using the eCTD Specifications (Revision 7).''
    FDA guidances ordinarily contain standard language explaining that
guidances should be viewed only as recommendations unless specific
regulatory or statutory requirements are cited. FDA is not including
this standard language in this guidance because this guidance contains
binding provisions. In section 745A(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 379k-1(a)), Congress granted
explicit authorization to FDA to specify in guidance the format for the
electronic submissions required under that section and required that
FDA ``shall'' issue such guidance. Accordingly, this guidance explains
such requirements under section 745A(a) of the FD&C Act, indicated by
the use of the words must or required, and therefore is not subject to
the usual restrictions in FDA's good guidance practice regulations,
such as the requirement that guidances not establish legally
enforceable responsibilities. See e.g., 21 CFR 10.115(d).

Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Pratt & Whitney (PW) PW2037, PW2037M, and PW2040 turbofan engines. This
AD was prompted by an uncommanded high thrust event that occurred
during approach on January 16, 2016, and during landing on April 6,
2016. This AD requires removal of the metering valve pilot valve (MVPV)
within certain fuel control units (FCUs) and the MVPV's replacement
with a part eligible for installation. We are issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective December 3, 2018.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of December 3,
2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all PW PW2037, PW2037M, and
PW2040 turbofan engines. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on
April 11, 2018 (83 FR 15519). The NPRM was prompted by reports of an
uncommanded high thrust event that occurred during approach on January
16, 2016, and during landing on April 6, 2016, due to loosening of the
MVPV end cap. These uncommanded events were associated with improper
maintenance on the MVPV within certain FCUs. The NPRM proposed to
require removal of the MVPV for certain FCUs. We are issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this final rule. The following presents the comments received on the
NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Disallow Repairs

    PW and the Boeing Company (Boeing) requested that we remove the
allowance in this AD for the repair of the MVPV. The commenters noted
that repairs cannot preclude damage to the valve, which could lead to
future Loss of Thrust Control (LOTC) events.
    We disagree because the repairs allowed by this AD will have a
tamper proof feature to secure the end plugs. This feature will
preclude the end plug from loosening in service. We did not change this
AD.

Request To Increase Number of Affected Engines

    PW requested that we revise the number of affected engines in costs
of compliance section of this AD from 212 to 253. PW noted that there
are 253 FCU serial numbers listed in Table 1 of PW Alert Service
Bulletin (ASB) PW2000 A73-172, dated October 16, 2017.
    We disagree. Although Table 1 lists 253 affected engines, our cost
estimate refers to engines installed on U.S. registered airplanes. Our
estimate of this number is 212 engines. We did not change this AD.

Request To Increase Cost Estimate for Parts

    PW and Delta Air Lines (Delta) requested that we change the
estimated parts cost to $25,482 per engine. The commenters indicated
that $25,482 is the cost of a new MVPV.
    We partially agree. We revised the Costs of Compliance section of
this AD to estimate $25,482 as the cost of a new MVPV. We expect,
however, that certain operators will have the MVPV repaired, so we are
also are also including an estimate for the cost of a repaired part.

Request To Allow Any Repair to MVPV

    Delta requested that we allow any FAA-approved repair to the MVPV
for compliance with this AD. Delta explained that the PW MVPV does not
have a tamper proof feature so the repair should not require it.
    We disagree. The tamper proof feature on the end plugs ensures that
the repair includes tightened end plugs and prevents future tampering
or loosening during regular maintenance. The manufacturer's design does
not have this tamper proof feature because no loose end plugs were
found on original manufacturer parts. We did not change this AD.

Request To Explain Tamper Proof Feature on MVPV

    Delta, United Airlines, and MTU Maintenance Hannover GmbH (MTU)

requested that we explain the ``tamper proof feature'' on the end plug
or reference a specific repair. The commenters explained that this
feature can be confusing to operators who are not familiar with the
history of repairs on this part. For example, Delta commented that this
language could be understood to refer to valves repaired per a process
that retains the end plugs using epoxy alone as being sufficient.
    We partially agree. We agree that operators without experience with
this feature may be confused. We expanded the definition of a part
eligible for installation to clarify the meaning of a ``tamper proof
feature.'' We disagree with referencing a specific repair because we
don't want to preclude future repairs that may be developed.

Request To Reference UTC Aerospace Systems Service Bulletin (SB)

    Delta requested that we reference the UTC Aerospace Systems SB
JFC104-1-73-58 in addition to PW ASB PW2000 A73-172, dated October 16,
2017, in this AD. Delta noted that additional instructions for
replacement of the MVPV are in the UTC Aerospace Systems SB.
    We disagree because the reference in this AD to the PW ASB PW2000
A73-172, dated October 16, 2017, is only to include the FCU Serial
Number List. We did not change this AD.

Request To Revise Table Reference

    Delta and MTU requested that we change a reference to ``Table 1''
in this AD. The commenters noted that PW ASB PW2000 A73-172, dated
October 16, 2017, does not refer to the list of FCU serial numbers as
``Table 1.''
    We agree. Although the PW ASB references ``Table 1'' in several
places, the list of FCU serial numbers is not clearly labeled in the
ASB as ``Table 1.'' We revised the reference to ``Table 1'' in the
Applicability section of this AD to ``FCU Serial Number List'' to
better match the service information.''

Request To Revise Reference to ``Overhaul''

    Delta and MTU requested that we change the reference in this AD to
``FCU overhaul.'' The commenters indicated that this term is not
standard wording.
    We agree because the term ``overhaul'' can be confused with other
types of maintenance. We changed the reference in this AD from ``FCU
Overhaul'' to ``FCU shop visit'' to better match standard wording used
in ADs.

Request To Revise Part Eligible for Installation

    Delta and Fedex Express requested that we clarify the definition of
a part eligible for installation from a ``zero time MVPV.'' Delta noted
that there is no specification whether this refers to total time since
manufacture or total time since completion of a certain level of
maintenance. Fedex Express suggested we use the term ``zero time from
new MVPV.''
    We agree. We revised this AD to clarify that the definition of a
part eligible for installation refers to a ``zero time since new MVPV''
to add clarity.

Request To Add Marking Requirement

    Delta and MTU requested that we add a requirement in this AD to
mark the data plate of any FCU to show it has complied with this AD.
The commenters indicated that this would assist with tracking because
there is no physical way to tell if operators have complied with the
AD.
    We disagree. It is up to the operators how to record compliance
with this AD. We do not want to dictate only one method of recording
compliance.

Request To Revise Installation Prohibition

    PW requested that we revise the installation prohibition in this AD
to allow any MVPV that is eligible for installation to be installed. PW
indicated that the language in the NPRM implies that only repaired
MVPVs can be installed.
    We disagree because if the MVPV is one of the suspect units being
removed from the FCU by the AD, then it is not a zero time since new
MVPV. An MVPV that is removed per the requirements of this AD must be
repaired with a tamper proof feature on the end plugs before it can be
reinstalled. The installation prohibition paragraph does not prevent
operators from installing a zero time since new MVPV.

Request To Clarify Compliance Time

    MTU requested that we clarify the compliance time in this AD as no
compliance time is stated.
    We disagree because the compliance time is at the next FCU shop
visit after the effective date of this AD, which is stated in the
required action paragraph. We did not change this AD.

Request To Reinstall a Part After Inspection

    MTU asked to be allowed to reinstall a part after it has been
inspected but not repaired.
    We disagree because the FCU's listed in the applicability cannot be
inspected for a loose end plug without damaging the epoxy or end plugs.
Once the end plug or epoxy is damaged, it must be replaced with a new
MVPV or repaired properly with a tamper proof feature on the end plugs.
We did not change this AD.

Support for This AD

    The Air Line Pilots Association expressed support for this AD as
written.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this final rule with the changes described previously and minor
editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final
rule.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed PW ASB PW2000 A73-172, dated October 16, 2017. The ASB
provides a list of affected FCUs. This service information is
reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it
through their normal course of business or by the means identified in
the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 212 engines installed on airplanes
of U.S. registry. We are estimating that the MVPV will be replaced with
a new part on 106 engines and replaced with a repaired part on the
remaining 106 engines. We estimate the following costs to comply with
this AD:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to engines, propellers, and
associated appliances to the Manager, Engine and Propeller Standards
Branch, Policy and Innovation Division.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have 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.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

Adoption of the Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13   [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):

2018-22-06 Pratt & Whitney: Amendment 39-19479; Docket No. FAA-2017-
1206; Product Identifier 2017-NE-42-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This AD is effective December 3, 2018.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all Pratt & Whitney (PW) PW2037, PW2037M, and
PW2040 turbofan engines with JFC104-1 fuel control units (FCUs) with
serial numbers listed in the Accomplishment Instructions, FCU Serial
Number List, of PW Alert Service Bulletin PW2000 A73-172, dated
October 16, 2017.

(d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) Code 7321, Fuel Control/
Turbine Engines.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by an uncommanded high thrust event that
occurred during approach on January 16, 2016, and during landing on
April 6, 2016. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the
metering valve pilot valve (MVPV) end cap to remain taut, causing
uncommanded higher fuel flow to the engine. The unsafe condition, if
not addressed, could result in failure of the FCU, loss of engine
thrust control and reduced control of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Required Actions

    Remove from service the MVPV from the FCU at the next FCU shop
visit after the effective date of the AD and replace the MVPV with a
part eligible for installation.

(h) Definitions

    (1) For the purpose of this AD, an FCU shop visit is defined as
the removal of the FCU from the engine and induction of the FCU into
a FCU shop that can perform these procedures regardless of the
scheduled maintenance action or the reason for the FCU removal.
    (2) For the purpose of this AD, a part eligible for installation
is one of the following:
    (i) A zero time since new MVPV, or
    (ii) An MVPV repaired by a method approved by FAA that includes
an end plug with tamper proof features. A tamper proof feature is a
feature that goes beyond the original equipment manufacturer design
of only using epoxy retention and threads to prevent end cap
maintenance tampering and loosening.

(i) Installation Prohibition

    After the effective date of this AD, do not install any MVPV
removed in accordance with paragraph (g) unless it meets the
definition of a part eligible for installation per paragraph (h)(2)
of this AD.

(j) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, ECO Branch, FAA, has the authority to approve
AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR
39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your request to your
principal inspector or local Flight Standards District Office, as
appropriate. If sending information directly to the manager of the
certification office, send it to the attention of the person
identified in paragraph (l) of this AD. You may email your request
to: [email protected].
    (2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding

How to file protests, motions to intervene, and comments is explained
below.

Protests

    Pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's regulations under
the NGA,\1\ any person \2\ or the Commission's staff may file a protest
to the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed or if a
protest is filed and then withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed
time for filing a protest, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be
authorized effective the day after the time allowed for protest. If a
protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time
allowed for filing a protest, the instant request for authorization
will be considered by the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 18 CFR 157.205.
    \2\ Persons include individuals, organizations, businesses,
municipalities, and other entities. 18 CFR 385.102(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Protests must comply with the requirements specified in section
157.205(e) of the Commission's regulations,\3\ and must be submitted by
the protest deadline, which is September 9, 2022. A protest may also

serve as a motion to intervene so long as the protestor states it also
seeks to be an intervenor.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 18 CFR 157.205(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interventions

    Any person has the option to file a motion to intervene in this
proceeding. Only intervenors have the right to request rehearing of
Commission orders issued in this proceeding and to subsequently
challenge the Commission's orders in the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal.
    To intervene, you must submit a motion to intervene to the
Commission in accordance with Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure \4\ and the regulations under the NGA \5\ by the
intervention deadline for the project, which is September 9, 2022. As
described further in Rule 214, your motion to intervene must state, to
the extent known, your position regarding the proceeding, as well as
your interest in the proceeding. For an individual, this could include
your status as a landowner, ratepayer, resident of an impacted
community, or recreationist. You do not need to have property directly
impacted by the project in order to intervene. For more information
about motions to intervene, refer to the FERC website at https://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP11-485-000]

Distrigas of Massachusetts LLC; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on May 18, 2011, Distrigas of Massachusetts LLC
(DOMAC), 20 City Square, Suite 3, Charlestown, MA 02129, filed in
Docket No. CP11-485-000, an application, pursuant to section 3 of the
Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended, and Parts 153 and 380 of the
Commission's Regulations, for authority to construct, install and
operate a heating value and

Wobbe Index reduction (HVWIR) system at DOMAC's liquefied natural gas
(LNG) terminal in Everett, Massachusetts, (HVWIR Project), all as more
fully set forth in the application, which is on file with the
Commission and open to public inspection. Specifically, DOMAC proposes
to alter the means by which it adjusts the heating value and Wobbe
Index of the regasified LNG it delivers to interconnecting pipelines
and is requesting authority to replace its limited air injection system
with a liquid nitrogen system for all of its regasified LNG send-out.
DOMAC asserts the HVWIR Project will enable DOMAC to maintain the
flexibility to receive cargos to meet customer demand, to ensure
delivery reliability, and to comply with the specifications of the FERC
tariffs of interconnecting pipelines. DOMAC proposes to commence
operation of the HVWIR system by October 1, 2012.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to Carol
Churchill, Manager, Communications, Distrigas of Massachusetts, LLC, 20
City Square, Suite 3, Charlestown, MA 02129, at<PHONE_NUMBER> or e-
mail at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or Marc A. Silver, General
Counsel, Distrigas of Massachusetts LLC, 20 City Square, Suite 3,
Charlestown, MA 02129, at<PHONE_NUMBER> or e-mail at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of the 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 issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS to 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 an original and 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 e-mail notification when a document is added to a subscribed
docket(s). For assistance with any FERC Online service, please e-mail
