of information at email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5207 (the Act) is the legal
basis for FEMA to provide disaster related assistance and services to
individuals who apply for disaster assistance benefits in the event of
a federally declared disaster. The Individuals and Households Program
(IHP) (the Act at 5174, Federal Assistance to Individuals and
Households) provides financial assistance to eligible individuals and
households who, as a direct result of a major disaster or emergency
have necessary expenses and serious needs. The ``Other Needs
Assistance'' (ONA) provision of IHP provides disaster assistance to
address needs other than housing, such as personal property,
transportation, etc.
    The delivery of the ONA provision of IHP is contingent upon the
State/Tribe choosing an administrator for the assistance. States/Tribes
satisfy the selection of an administrator of ONA by completing the
Administrative Option Agreement (FEMA Form 010-0-11), which establishes
a plan for the delivery of ONA. This agreement establishes a
partnership with FEMA and inscribes the plan for the delivery of
disaster assistance. The agreement is used to identify the State/
Tribe's proposed level of support and participation during disaster
recovery. In response to Super Storm Sandy (October 2012), Congress
added ``child care'' expenses as a category of ONA through the Sandy
Recovery Improvement Act of 2013 (SRIA), Pub. L. 113-2. Section 1108 of
the SRIA amends section 408(e)(1) of the Stafford Act (42 U.S.C.
5174(e)(1)), giving FEMA the specific authority to pay for ``child
care'' expenses as disaster assistance under ONA.

Collection of Information

    Title: Federal Assistance to Individuals and Households Program,
(IHP).
    Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved
information collection.

010-0-12S (Spanish) Solicitud para Continuar la Asistencia de Vivienda
Temporera.
    Abstract: The Federal Assistance to Individuals and Households
Program (IHP) enhances applicants' ability to request approval of late
applications, request continued assistance, and appeal program
decisions. Similarly, it allows States to partner with FEMA for
delivery of disaster assistance under the ``Other Needs'' provision of
the IHP through Administrative Option Agreements and Administration
Plans addressing the level of managerial and resource support
necessary.

sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as described in
the final order.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human
health, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry; pesticide
users; and members of the public interested in the sale, distribution,
or use of pesticides. Since others also may be interested, the Agency
has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be
affected by this action. If you have any questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the
appropriate person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

     1.  Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
     ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

II. Background on the Receipt of Requests to Cancel and Amend
Registrations to Delete Uses

    This notice announces receipt by EPA of requests from registrants
to cancel 1 and amend to terminate uses of 29 product registrations.
Registrants requested EPA to cancel affected product registrations and
amend to terminate uses of pesticide product registrations identified
in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit III.

III. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    This notice announces receipt by EPA of requests from 8 registrants
to cancel and amend to terminate uses of a total of 30 product
registrations. The affected products and the registrants making the
requests are identified in Tables 1-3 of this unit.
    Under section 6(f)(1)(A) of FIFRA, registrants may request, at any
time, that their pesticide registrations be canceled or amended to
terminate one or more pesticide uses. Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA
requires that before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation,
EPA must provide a 30-day public comment period on the request for
voluntary cancellation or use termination. In addition, section
6(f)(1)(C) of FIFRA requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment period
on a request for voluntary cancellation or termination of any minor
agricultural use before granting the request, unless:
    1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or
    2. The Administrator determines that continued use of the pesticide
would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
    A request to waive the 180-day comment period has been received for
all registrations included in this notice:<PHONE_NUMBER>0,<PHONE_NUMBER>6,

    Unless a request is withdrawn by the registrant within the 30-day
window established in this notice, or if the Agency determines that
there are substantive comments that warrant further review of this
request, an order will be issued canceling and amending the affected
registrations.

IV. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide
product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations
be canceled or amended to terminate one or more uses. FIFRA further
provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice
of receipt of any such request in the Federal Register. Thereafter,
following the public comment period, the Administrator may approve such
a request.

V. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request and Considerations for
Reregistration

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation must
submit such withdrawal in writing to the appropriate person listed
under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked before November 7,
2008. This written withdrawal of the request for cancellation will
apply only to the applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1) request listed in
this notice. If the products(s) have been subject to a previous
cancellation action, the effective date of cancellation and all other
provisions of any earlier cancellation action are controlling.

VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
which are currently in the United States and which were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
cancellation action.

A. Methamidophos

     On April 7, 2002, EPA signed the Interim Reregistration
Eligibility Decision (IRED) for methamidophos. That IRED specified risk
mitigation measures including: ``Implement a 5-year phase out of the
use on cotton.'' In accordance with the IRED, Bayer CropScience has
submitted a request to voluntarily terminate all cotton uses of the
methamidophos products listed in Table 2 of Unit III. effective
September 30, 2009.
    Provisions for the sale, disposition, and use of existing stocks of
methamidophos products include the following:
     1. All sale or distribution by the registrant of existing stocks
labeled for use on cotton is prohibited after September 30, 2009,
unless that sale or distribution is solely for the purpose of
facilitating disposal or export of the product.
     2. Existing stocks labeled for use on cotton may be sold and
distributed by persons other than the registrant until July 31, 2010.
     3. Existing stocks labeled for use on cotton may be used until
September 30, 2010, provided that such use complies with the EPA-
approved label and labeling of the product.

B. Other Chemicals Addressed in this Order

    If the request for voluntary cancellation and use terminations is
granted as discussed in this unit, the Agency intends to issue a
cancellation order that will allow persons other than the registrant to
continue to sell and/or use existing stocks of canceled products until
such stocks are exhausted, provided that such use is consistent with
the terms of the previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied,
the canceled product. The order will specifically prohibit any use of
existing stocks that is not consistent with such previously approved
labeling. If, as the Agency currently intends, the final cancellation
order contains the existing stocks provision just described, the order
will be sent only to the affected registrants of the canceled products.
If the Agency determines that

the final cancellation order should contain existing stocks provisions
different than the ones just described, the Agency will publish the
cancellation order in the Federal Register.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP06-102-000]

Trunkline LNG Company, LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Infrastructure Enhancement
Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues

May 19, 2006.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of the Infrastructure Enhancement
Project (IEP) involving construction and operation of facilities by
Trunkline LNG Company, LLC's (Trunkline LNG) in Lake Charles, Calcasieu
Parish, Louisiana.\1\ Trunkline LNG would construct and operate Ambient
Air Vaporization (AAV) facilities at its existing liquefied natural gas
import terminal in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. These facilities would
consist of system that uses ambient heat in the air to reduce the use
of fuel gas in the vaporization of liquefied natural gas (LNG).
Additionally, Trunkline LNG would add natural gas liquids (NGL)
processing facilities for LNG conditioning and British thermal unit
(Btu) control. This EA will be used by the Commission in its decision-
making process to determine whether the project is in the public
convenience and necessity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Trunkline LNGs application was filed with the Commission
under section 7 of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the
Commission's regulations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, you may be contacted
by a pipeline company representative about the acquisition of an
easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities.
The pipeline company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable
agreement. However, if the project is approved by the Commission, that
approval conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if
easement negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the pipeline
company could initiate condemnation proceedings in accordance with
state law.
    A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural
Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' was attached to the
project notice Trunkline LNG provided to landowners. This fact sheet
addresses a number of typically asked questions, including the use of
eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings.
It is available for viewing on the FERC Internet Web site (http://www.ferc.gov
).

Summary of the Proposed Project

    Trunkline LNG's IEP would provide alternative vaporization using a
supplemental heat source to reduce the fuel gas requirements for
vaporization. Reducing the amount of fuel gas consumed for the
vaporization process allows more of the natural gas from the LNG to be
delivered to customers. Trunkline LNG seeks authority to construct and
operate the following:
     64 Potassium Formate (KF)-Air heaters (64 forced
convection, three-fan air exchangers, 17.9 million Btu per hour (MMBtu/
hr)/Air Heater;
     Four KF-LNG Vaporizers (525 million standard cubic feet
per day [MMscf/d]);
     One NGL Recovery Unit, sized for a maximum capacity of
1,050 MMscf/d;
     1,160 feet of 12-inch-diameter ethane product piping;
     1,160 feet of 12-inch-diameter propane product piping;
     Two propylene glycol heaters (150 MMBtu/hr each);
     Glycol storage and circulation System;
     Two electrical switchgear buildings;
     One remote instrumentation building, designed as Equipment
Room 2; and
     Foam Building No. 4.
    The nonjurisdictional facilities include the expansion of the
existing electric substation, a meter station, and the construction of
two 18 mile-long (each) take away NGL product pipelines. British Gas
(BG) has contracted PetoLogistics, LLC to design, permit, and operate
the meter station and take away pipelines. The pipelines would consist
of a 10-inch-diameter ethane (approximately 1,800 gallons per minute
[gpm]) pipeline and a 6-inch-diameter propane (approximately 1,250 gpm)
pipeline. The pipelines would be constructed from the meter station to
PetroLogistics' storage facility in Sulfur, Louisiana.
    The location of the project facilities is shown in Appendix 1.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The appendices referenced in this notice are not being
printed in the Federal Register. Copies of all appendices, other
than Appendix 1 (maps), are available on the Commission's Web site
at the ``eLibrary'' link or from the Commission's Public Reference
Room, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, or call (202)
502-8371. For instructions on connecting to eLibrary refer to the
last page of this notice. Copies of the appendices were sent to all
those receiving this notice in the mail.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the proposed facilities would require about 33.1
acres of land of which 20 acres are currently covered with grass.
Following construction, about 13.6 acres of the 20 acres would be
returned to grass and 6.4 acres would be covered with asphalt, concrete
or gravel. Included in the 33.1 acres is approximately 0.6 acre of land
that would be temporarily affected by the construction of the NGL
product pipeline and nonjurisdictional meter station.
    In addition, a nonjurisdictional 0.5 acre electric-power substation
expansion site developed and operated by Entergy would remain gravel
covered with concrete equipment foundations for the new electrical
equipment. Further, the 18-mile-long nonjurisdictional take away NGL
products pipelines would require about 130.9 acres of land during
construction and 87.3 acres as permanent right-of-way based on a 60-
foot-wide construction right-of-way and a 40-foot-wide permanent right-
of-way.

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental

impacts that could result from an action whenever it considers the
issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA
also requires us to discover and address concerns the public may have
about proposals. This process is referred to as ``scoping.'' The main
goal of the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the
important environmental issues. By this Notice of Intent, the
Commission staff requests public comments on the scope of the issues to
address in the EA. All comments received are considered during the
preparation of the EA. State and local government representatives are
encouraged to notify their constituents of this proposed action and
encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
    In the EA we \3\ will discuss impacts that could occur as a result
of the construction and operation of the proposed project under these
general headings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ ''We'', ``us'', and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the Office of Energy Projects (OEP).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Geology and soils.
     Land use.
     Water resources, fisheries, and wetlands.
     Cultural resources.
     Vegetation and wildlife.
     Air quality and noise.
     Endangered and threatened species.
     Hazardous waste.
     Public safety.
    We will also evaluate possible alternatives to the proposed project
or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to lessen
or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    Our independent analysis of the issues will be in the EA. Depending
on the comments received during the scoping process, the EA may be
published and mailed to Federal, state, and local agencies, public
interest groups, interested individuals, affected landowners,
newspapers, libraries, and the Commission's official service list for
this proceeding. A comment period will be allotted for review if the EA
is published. We will consider all comments on the EA before we make
our recommendations to the Commission.
    To ensure your comments are considered, please carefully follow the
instructions in the public participation section beginning on page 5.

Currently Identified Environmental Issues

    We have already identified several issues that we think deserve
attention based on a preliminary review of the proposed facilities and
the environmental information provided by Trunkline LNG. This
preliminary list of issues may be changed based on your comments and
our analysis.
     The project would generate water from condensation and
would decrease water temperature and water salinity during discharge
which may impact aquatic species.
     The project may have air and noise impacts.
    Also, we have made a preliminary decision to not address the
impacts of BG's 18-mile-long NGL takeaway pipelines. We will briefly
describe their location and status in the EA.

Public Participation

    You can make a difference by providing us with your specific
comments or concerns about the project. By becoming a commentor, your
concerns will be addressed in the EA and considered by the Commission.
You should focus on the potential environmental effects of the
proposal, alternatives to the proposal (including alternative
locations), and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impact. The
more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. Please
carefully follow these instructions to ensure that your comments are
received in time and properly recorded:
     Send an original and two copies of your letter to: Magalie
R. Salas, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First
St., NE., Room 1A,Washington, DC 20426.
     Label one copy of the comments for the attention of Gas
Branch 2.
     Reference Docket No. CP06-102-000.
     Mail your comments so that they will be received in
Washington, DC on or before June 19, 2006.
    Please note that we are continuing to experience delays in mail
deliveries from the U.S. Postal Service. As a result, we will include
all comments that we receive within a reasonable time frame in our
environmental analysis of this project. However, the Commission
strongly encourages electronic filing of any comments or interventions
or protests to this proceeding. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the
instructions on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov under

of their motion to the Secretary of the Commission at the address
indicated previously. Persons filing Motions to Intervene on or before
the comment deadline indicated above must send a copy of the motion to
the Applicant. All filings, including late interventions, submitted
after the comment deadline must be served on the Applicant and all
other intervenors identified on the Commission's service list for this
proceeding. Persons on the service list with email addresses may be
served electronically; others must be served a hard copy of the filing.
    Affected landowners and parties with environmental concerns may be
granted intervenor status upon showing good cause by stating that they
have a clear and direct interest in this proceeding which would not be
adequately represented by any other parties. You do not need intervenor
status to have your environmental comments considered.

Environmental Mailing List

    An effort is being made to send this notice to all individuals,
organizations, and government entities interested in and/or potentially
affected by the proposed project. This includes all landowners who are
potential right-of-way grantors, whose property may be used temporarily
for project purposes, or who own homes within distances defined in the
Commission's regulations of certain aboveground facilities. By this
notice we are also asking governmental agencies, especially those in
Appendix 2, to express their interest in becoming cooperating agencies
for the preparation of the EA.

    Title: Minority Business Enterprise/Woman Business Enterprise (MBE/
WBE) Utilization Under Federal Grants, Cooperative Agreements, and
Interagency Agreements (Renewal).
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2212.03, OMB Control No. 2090-0025.
    ICR Status: This ICR seeks reinstatement of a previously approved
information collection activity that expired on October 31, 2009. An
Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: All EPA financial assistance agreement recipients are
required to make good faith efforts to assure that small, minority and
women owned businesses are used, when possible, as sources of
construction, services, equipment, and supplies. The completion and
submission of EPA Form 5700-52A is mandatory. The information collected
by EPA Form 5700-52A is used to compile data concerning the utilization
of minority and women owned businesses as contractors and
subcontractors under procurements funded by EPA financial assistance
agreements pursuant to Executive Orders 11625, 12138, and 12432, and
Public Laws 101-507 and 102-389. The effectiveness of EPA's MBE/WBE
Program is measured through this reporting requirement. The
modifications to the form were made to simplify and shorten the form
itself. The instructions in the modified form also provide more
information about questions frequently asked by respondents.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1.5
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 3,600.
    Frequency of response: Depending on the type of financial
assistance received, respondents either report on an annual, semi-
annual, or quarterly basis.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
2.5 average responses per year, including annual and quarterly
respondents.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 9,000.
    Estimated total annual costs: $606,960. This includes $0 annualized
capital startup costs, $0 annualized O&M costs, and $606,960 annualized
labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The estimates reflect a decrease in
Respondent and Agency burden hours due to a transition from quarterly
reporting to semi-annual reporting. There was an increase in Respondent
total costs per year due to the use of an updated wage rate for
employee compensation. The current rate ($48.17) was taken from the
December 2009 Bureau of Labor Statistics release, while the prior
estimate utilized the March 2005 wage rate ($36.28). In addition, the
estimates reflect a decrease in Agency burden hours and costs due to a
transition from quarterly reporting to semi-annual reporting. While
there is still a percentage of Respondents that will continue to report
quarterly, this group will diminish over time because only those
agreements awarded prior to May 27, 2008 may still report quarterly.
The burden estimate was also revised to include annual, semi-annual,
and quarterly reporting. These changes are categorized as adjustments.
We received no comments regarding the form from our consultation
efforts or from public comments, therefore, the hours to gather
information to complete the form were not changed. The total burden
hours remains at 1.5 burden hours.
