[Docket No. USCG-2020-0528]

Certificates of Alternative Compliance for the Eighth Coast Guard
District

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notification of issuance of certificates of alternative
compliance.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces that the Eighth Coast Guard
District's Prevention Division has issued certificates of alternative
compliance from the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions
at Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS), to vessels of special construction or
purpose that cannot fully comply with the light, shape, and sound
signal provisions of 72 COLREGS without interfering with the vessel's
design and construction. We are issuing this notice because its
publication is required by statute. This notification of issuance of
certificates of alternative compliance promotes the Coast Guard's
marine safety mission.

DATES: These Certificates of Alternative Compliance were issued between
January 2015 and May 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information or questions about
this notice call or email LTJG Elliot VanDeren, District Eight,
Prevention Division, U.S. Coast Guard, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, email
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The United States is signatory to the
International Maritime Organization's International Regulations for
Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS), as amended. The
special construction or purpose of some vessels makes them unable to
comply with the light, shape,

or sound signal provisions of the 72 COLREGS. Under statutory law,
however, specified 72 COLREGS provisions are not applicable to a vessel
of special construction or purpose if the Coast Guard determines that
the vessel cannot comply fully with those requirements without
interfering with the special function of the vessel.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 33 U.S.C. 1605.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The owner, builder, operator, or agent of a special construction or
purpose vessel may apply to the Coast Guard District Office in which
the vessel is being built or operated for a determination that
compliance with alternative requirements is justified,\2\ and the Chief
of the Prevention Division then issues the applicant a certificate of
alternative compliance (COAC) if he or she determines that the vessel
cannot comply fully with 72 COLREGS light, shape, and sound signal
provisions without interference with the vessel's special function.\3\
If the Coast Guard issues a COAC, it must publish notice of this action
in the Federal Register.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 33 CFR 81.5.
    \3\ 33 CFR 81.9.
    \4\ 33 U.S.C. 1605(c) and 33 CFR 81.18.

action to approve elements of a State Implementation Plan (SIP)
submission from the State of Kansas addressing the applicable
requirements of Clean Air Act (CAA) sections 110 for the 2008 National
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for Ozone (O3), which
requires that each state adopt and submit a SIP to support
implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of each new or revised
NAAQS promulgated by EPA. These SIPs are commonly referred to as
``infrastructure'' SIPs. The infrastructure requirements are designed
to ensure that the structural components of each state's air quality
management program are adequate to meet the state's responsibilities
under the CAA.

DATES: This final rule is effective November 20, 2014.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-R07-OAR-2014-0401. All documents in the electronic docket are

additional information by addressing the following questions:

I. Background
II. Summary of SIP Revision
III. EPA's Response to Comments
IV. Final Action
V. Statutory and Executive Order Review

I. Background

    On July 16, 2014 (79 FR 41476), EPA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPR) for the State of Kansas. The NPR proposed approval of
Kansas' submissions that provide the basic elements specified in
section 110(a)(2) of the CAA, or portions thereof, necessary to
implement, maintain, and enforce the 2008 Pb NAAQS.

II. Summary of SIP Revision

    On March 19, 2013, and May 9, 2013, EPA received SIP submissions
from the state of Kansas that address the infrastructure elements
specified in

section 110(a)(2) for the 2008 O3 NAAQS. The submissions
addressed the following infrastructure elements of section 110(a)(2):
(A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G), (H), (J), (K), (L), and (M).
Specific requirements of section 110(a)(2) of the CAA and the rationale
for EPA's proposed action to approve the SIP submission are explained
in the NPR and will not be restated here.
    The public comment period on EPA's proposed rule opened on July 16,
2014, the date of its publication in the Federal Register, and closed
on August 15, 2014. During this period, EPA received two comment
letters: One from a citizen received July 17, 2014, and one from the
Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) received August 13,
2014. The letters are available in the docket to today's final rule.
The citizen comment was made in support of EPA's efforts to protect the
environment in the state of Kansas, and did not result in changes to
this final action. Today's final action includes EPA's response to
KDHE's comment.

III. EPA's Response to Comments

    Comment: KDHE commented that EPA retract certain language in the
proposed rulemaking for today's final action. Regarding section
110(a)(2)(E)(3), the proposed rulemaking states at 79 FR 41493:
``Currently, KDHE oversees the following local agencies that implement
the Kansas Air Quality Act: The City of Wichita Office of Environmental
Health, Johnson County Department of Health and Environment, Shawnee
County Health Agency, and Unified Government of Wyandotte County-Kansas
City, Kansas Public Health Department''. Regarding section
110(a)(2)(M), the proposed rulemaking states at 79 FR 41496:
``Currently, KDHE's Bureau of Air and Radiation has signed state and/or
local agreements with the Department of Air Quality from the Unified
Government of Wyandotte County-Kansas City, Kansas; the Wichita Office
of Environmental Health; the Shawnee County Health Department, the
Johnson County Department of Health and Environment; and the Mid-
America Regional Council''. KDHE states that as of September 30, 2012,
they no longer contract with the Shawnee County Health Department.
    Response: EPA acknowledges that KDHE no longer oversees or
contracts with the Shawnee County Health Department for purposes of
sections 110(a)(2)(E)(3) and 110(a)(2)(M).

IV. Final Action

    EPA is approving Kansas' submissions which provide the basic
program elements specified in section 110(a)(2)(A), (B), (C),
(D)(i)(II) (prongs 3 and 4), D(ii), (E), (F), (G), (H), (J), (K), (L),
and (M) of the CAA, or portions thereof, necessary to implement,
maintain, and enforce the 2008 O3 NAAQS, as a revision to
the Kansas SIP. This action is being taken under section 110 of the
CAA. As discussed in each applicable section of NPR, EPA is not acting
on section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I), section 110(a)(2)(I)--Nonattainment Area
Plan or Plan Revisions Under Part D, and on the visibility protection
portion of section 110(a)(2)(J).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Review

    Under the CAA the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act 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'' under the terms
of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and is
therefore not subject to review under Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
(76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011).
     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.
    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).
    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 December 22, 2014. 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 may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket Nos. CP17-495-000; CP17-494-000]

Jordan Cove Energy Project LP, Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline
L.P.; Notice of Availability of the Draft Environmental Impact
Statement for the Proposed Jordan Cove Energy Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) with the participation of the cooperating agencies listed
below, has prepared a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) for
the Jordan Cove Liquefied Natural Gas Project proposed by Jordan Cove
Energy Project LP (Jordan Cove) and the Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline
Project proposed by Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline L.P. (Pacific
Connector) (collectively referred to as the Jordan Cove Energy Project
or Project). Under Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), Jordan Cove
requests authorization to liquefy at a terminal in Coos Bay, Oregon up
to 1.04 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day for export for to
overseas markets. Pacific Connector seeks a Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity under Section 7 of the NGA to construct and
operate an interstate natural gas transmission pipeline providing about
1.2 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas from the Malin hub to the
Jordan Cove terminal, crossing portions of Klamath, Jackson, Douglas,
and Coos Counties, Oregon.
    The draft EIS assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Project in accordance with the
requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). As
described in the draft EIS, the FERC staff concludes that approval of
the Project would result in a number of significant environmental
impacts; however, the majority of impacts would be less than
significant because of the impact avoidance, minimization, and
mitigation measures proposed by Jordan Cove and Pacific Connector and
those recommended by staff in the draft EIS.
    The United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Land
Management (BLM); U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service (Forest
Service); Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation); U.S. Department of
Energy; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency; U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service; U.S.
Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service; U.S. Department of
Homeland Security Coast Guard; the Coquille Indian Tribe; and the
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration within the U.S.
Department of Transportation participated as cooperating agencies in
preparation of this EIS. Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction by law
or special expertise with respect to resources potentially affected by
the proposal and participate in the NEPA analysis. The cooperating
agencies provided input into the conclusions and recommendations
presented in the draft EIS. Following issuance of the final EIS, the
cooperating agencies will issue subsequent decisions, determinations,
permits or authorizations for the Project in accordance with each
individual agency's regulatory requirements.
    The BLM, with the concurrence of the Forest Service and
Reclamation, would adopt and use the EIS to consider issuing a right-
of-way grant for the portion of the Project on federal lands. Other
cooperating agencies would use this EIS in their regulatory process,
and to satisfy compliance with NEPA and other related federal
environmental laws (e.g., the National Historic Preservation Act).
    The BLM and the Forest Service would also use this EIS to evaluate
proposed amendments to their District or National Forest land
management plans that would make provision for the Pacific Connector
pipeline. In order to consider the Pacific Connector right-of-way
grant, the BLM must amend the affected Resource Management Plans
(RMPs). The BLM therefore proposes to amend the RMPs to re-allocate all
lands within the proposed temporary use area and right-of-way to a
District-Designated Reserve, with management direction to manage the
lands for the purposes of the Pacific Connector right-of-way.
Approximately 885 acres would be re-allocated. District-Designated
Reserve allocations establish specific management for a specific use or
to protect specific values and resources. In accordance with Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part 36 CFR 219.16, the Forest Service gives
notice of its intent to consider amendments of Land and Resource
Management Plans (LRMP) for the Umpqua, Rogue River and Winema National
Forests. Proposed amendments of LRMPs include reallocation of matrix
lands to Late Successional Reserves and site-specific exemptions from
standards and guidelines and other LRMP requirements to allow
construction of the Pacific Connector pipeline. Exemptions from
standards and guidelines include requirements to protect known sites of
Survey and Manage species, changes in visual quality objectives at
specific locations, limitations on detrimental soil conditions, removal
of effective shade at perennial stream crossings and the construction
of utility corridors in riparian areas. Further information on Forest
Service LRMP amendments is included below.
    The Commission mailed a copy of the Notice of Availability of the
draft EIS to federal, state, and local government representatives and
agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups;
Indian Tribes; potentially affected landowners and other interested
individuals and groups; and newspapers and libraries in the Project
area. The draft EIS is only available in electronic format. It may be
viewed and downloaded from the FERC's website (www.ferc.gov), on the
Environmental Documents page (https://www.ferc.gov/industries/gas/enviro/eis.asp). In addition, the draft EIS may be accessed by using
the eLibrary link on the FERC's website. Click on the eLibrary link
