DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

Supplemental Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement for the Proposed Transcameron Pipeline Project and Calcasieu
Pass Terminal, and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues Related
To New Route Amendments and Project Changes

TransCameron Pipeline, LLC...  Docket Nos. CP15-551-001
Venture Global Calcasieu       CP15-550-000
 Pass, LLC.

    On September 4, 2015, TransCameron Pipeline, LLC (TransCameron
Pipeline) filed an application in Docket No. CP15-551-000, pursuant to
Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, as amended, and Part 157 of the
Commission's regulations for authorization to construct, install, own,
operate and maintain two lateral pipelines (the East Lateral and the
West Lateral pipeline) and appurtenant facilities located in Cameron
Parish, Louisiana that comprise the TransCameron Pipeline Project
(TransCameron Pipeline or Project). The Project application was filed
jointly with an application by Venture Global Calcasieu Pass, LLC
(Venture Global Calcasieu Pass) for authorization to construct and
operate a liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage and marine export
terminal, the Calcasieu Pass Terminal, and related facilities, in
Cameron Parish (Docket No. CP15-550-000).
    Venture Global Calcasieu Pass filed modifications to the Calcasieu
Pass Terminal facilities on March 21, 2016. And, on June 28, 2016,
TransCameron Pipeline filed an amendment to its application with
additional project changes. The combined changes are detailed below,
and an overview map of the Project is provided in appendix 1. This
Supplemental Notice is being issued to seek comments on the amendment
and other changes, and to open a new scoping period for interested
parties to file comments on environmental issues.
    Information about the facilities proposed by TransCameron Pipeline
and Venture Global Calcasieu Pass can be found on the Commission's
public Docket Nos. CP15-551-001, and CP15-550-000, respectively, and on
the applicant's Web site at http://venturegloballng.com/calcasieu-pass.
The FERC's environmental impact statement (EIS) will encompass all
proposed facilities and be used by the Commission in its decision-
making process to determine whether to approve the TransCameron
Pipeline Project and Calcasieu Pass Terminal.
    The FERC will be the lead federal agency for the preparation of the
EIS. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Department of Energy, U.S.
Coast Guard, U.S. Department of Transportation, and U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency are cooperating agencies in the preparation of the
EIS.
    We \1\ are seeking comments on the project modifications to help
the Commission staff determine what issues need to be evaluated in the
EIS. Your comments should focus on the potential environmental effects,
reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental
impacts from the proposed modifications. To ensure that your comments
are timely and properly recorded, please send your comments so that the
Commission receives them in Washington, DC on or before September 1,
2016. If you have previously provided comments on the TransCameron
Pipeline Project or Calcasieu Pass Terminal, you do not need to
resubmit them. State and local government representatives are asked to
notify their constituents of this proposed Project amendment/
modification and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ ``We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the Commission's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This Supplemental Notice is being sent to the Commission's current
environmental mailing list for this project, including those landowners
that might be newly affected by the proposed

pipeline modifications, and those no longer directly affected due to
the reduction in proposed facilities. Landowners previously affected by
the West Lateral should note that it is no longer being proposed. If
you wish to be removed from the mailing list, please respond either
electronically (information on filing electronically is provided below)
or through the attached Information Request (appendix 2).
    If you are a newly affected landowner receiving this notice, a
pipeline company representative may contact you about the acquisition
of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed
facilities. The company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable
agreement. However, if the Commission approves the project, that
approval conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if the
easement negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the pipeline
company could initiate condemnation proceedings where compensation
would be determined 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?'' is available for
viewing on the FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov). 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.

Summary of Project Modifications

    TransCameron Pipeline and Venture Global Calcasieu Pass have made
the following Project modifications, filed in a March 21, 2016
supplement and June 28, 2016 amendment:
     Elimination of the West Lateral Pipeline and its
associated facilities (meter station, mainline valves, access roads,
and contractor yard) reducing the overall project workspace of
TransCameron Pipeline's proposal from 637.6 acres to 372.2 acres;
     minor workspace and layout modifications, including
additional access roads, and a contractor yard on the East Lateral
Pipeline;
     reduction of the Terminal Site area from 393.7 acres to
268.4 acres through layout redesign;
     redesign and relocation of the two 200,000 cubic meters
LNG aboveground storage tanks, including replacement of full
containment with single containment design and addition of LNG
retention basins;
     redesign of the piling system for LNG dock facilities;
     reduction of the number of integrated pre-cooled SMR
liquefaction blocks located at the Terminal Site from ten to nine,
while maintaining the same output capability;
     relocation of the administration/security building
complex;
     removal of the construction utility dock from proposed
Terminal design;
     addition of three off-site construction support facilities
(Martin Support Facility, DeHyCo Support Facility, and Baker Hughes
Support Facility) at existing marine industrial facilities on Calcasieu
Pass;
     addition of two temporary access roads to provide access
to the DeHyCo and Martin Support Facilities;
     increase in width of the Northeast Access Road from 50 to
125 feet from the intersection of the Martin Access Road to the
Terminal's perimeter berm, and from 50 to 75 feet from the Liberty
Support Facility to the intersection of the Martin Access Road;
     addition of one off-site facility (Mudd Support Facility)
to provide parking space and a point of access to a private ferry that
would carry construction personnel across the Calcasieu Ship Channel
during construction;
     addition of a service road (Southwest Service Road) at the
Terminal to provide restricted access to Cameron Parish's Jetty Pier
Facility; and
     redesign of the Terminal's flood protection structure,
replacing the earthen berm along the full perimeter of the plant site
with an earthen berm on the west side and a steel pile floodwall on the
east, north, and south sides. The berm will include the Northwest
Access Road ramp. The floodwall would be +31.5 feet North American
Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88); the berm would be +26 feet NAVD 88,
with a sliding flood gate over the ramp to bring the height to +31.5
feet NAVD 88.

The EIS Process

    NEPA requires the Commission to take into account the environmental
impacts that could result from an action whenever it considers the
issuance of an Authorization or 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 EIS on the important environmental issues. By this notice, the
Commission requests public comments on the scope of the issues to
address in the EIS. We will consider all filed comments during the
preparation of the EIS.
    In the EIS we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of
the construction and operation of the proposed projects under these
general headings:
     Geology and soils;
     land use;
     socioeconomics;
     water resources, fisheries, and wetlands;
     cultural resources;
     vegetation and wildlife;
     air quality and noise;
     endangered and threatened species;
     reliability and safety; and
     cumulative impacts.
    We will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the proposed
project or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to
lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    The EIS will present our independent analysis of the issues. We
will publish and distribute the draft EIS for public comment. After the
comment period, we will consider all timely comments and revise the
document, as necessary, before issuing a final EIS. To ensure we have
the opportunity to consider and address your comments, please carefully
follow the instructions in the Public Participation section beginning
on page 4.
    The Cooperating Agencies also have responsibilities under NEPA and
can adopt the EIS for their own agency's purposes.

Public Participation

    You can make a difference by providing us with your specific
comments or concerns about the proposed amendments to the TransCameron
Pipeline Project or the modifications to the Calcasieu Pass Terminal
facilities. Your comments should focus on the potential environmental
effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen
environmental impacts. The more specific your comments, the more useful
they will be. To ensure that your comments are timely and properly
recorded, please send your comments so that the Commission receives
them in Washington DC on or before September 1, 2016. If you have
previously provided comments on the TransCameron Pipeline Project or
Calcasieu Pass Terminal, you do not need to resubmit them.
    For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to submit
your comments to the Commission. In all instances, please reference the
appropriate project docket number (CP15-551-001 for the TransCameron
Pipeline Project; CP15-550-000 for the Calcasieu Pass Terminal) with
your submission. The Commission will provide equal consideration to all

comments received. The Commission encourages electronic filing of
comments and has expert staff available to assist you at<PHONE_NUMBER>
or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Please carefully follow these instructions so that
your comments are properly recorded.
    (1) You can file your comments electronically using the eComment
feature located on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the
link to Documents and Filings. This is an easy method for interested
persons to submit brief, text-only comments on a project;
    (2) You can file your comments electronically using the eFiling
feature located on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the
link to Documents and Filings. With eFiling, you can provide comments
in a variety of formats by attaching them as a file with your
submission. New eFiling users must first create an account by clicking
on ``eRegister.'' You must select the type of filing you are making. If
you are filing a comment on a particular project, please select
``Comment on a Filing;'' or
    (3) You can file a paper copy of your comments by mailing them to
the following address: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC

Environmental Mailing List

    The environmental mailing list includes federal, state, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American Tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. This list also
includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission's
regulations) who are potential right-of-way grantors, whose property
may be used temporarily for project purposes, or who own homes within
certain distances of aboveground facilities, as well as anyone who
submits comments on the projects. We will update the environmental
mailing list as the analysis proceeds to ensure that we send the
information related to this environmental review to all individuals,
organizations, and government entities interested in and/or potentially
affected by the planned projects.
    Copies of the completed draft EIS will be sent to the environmental
mailing list for public review and comment. If you would prefer to
receive a paper copy of the document instead of the CD version or would
like to remove your name from the mailing list, please return the
attached Information Request (appendix 2).

Becoming an Intervenor

    In addition to involvement in the EIS scoping process, you may want
to become an ``intervenor'' which is an official party to the
Commission's proceeding. Intervenors play a more formal role in the
process and are able to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be heard
by the courts if they choose to appeal the Commission's final ruling.
An intervenor formally participates in the proceeding by filing a
request to intervene. Instructions for becoming an intervenor are in
the User's Guide under the ``e-filing'' link on the Commission's Web
site.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 64

[Docket ID FEMA-2015-0001; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-8391]

Suspension of Community Eligibility

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule identifies communities where the sale of flood
insurance has been authorized under the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) that are scheduled for suspension on the effective dates
listed within this rule because of noncompliance with the floodplain
management requirements of the program. If the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) receives documentation that the community has
adopted the required floodplain management measures prior to the
effective suspension date given in this rule, the suspension will not
occur and a notice of this will be provided by publication in the
Federal Register on a subsequent date. 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 http://www.fema.gov/fema/csb.shtm.

DATES: Effective 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 Bret Gates, Federal Insurance and
Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C
Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

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.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10, Environmental
Considerations. No environmental impact assessment has been prepared.
    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.

(i) The employer shall provide the following information to the examining physician:
      (A) A copy of this regulation and its appendices;
      (B) A description of the affected employee's duties as they relate to the employee's potential exposure to MDA;
      (C) The employee's current actual or representative MDA exposure level;
      (D) A description of any personal protective equipment used or to be used; and
      (E) Information from previous employment related medical examinations of the affected employee.
     (ii) The employer shall provide the foregoing information to a second physician under this section upon request either by the second physician, or by the employee.
   (8) Physician's written opinion.
     (i) For each examination under this section, the employer shall obtain, and provide the employee with a copy of, the examining physician's written opinion within 15 days of its receipt. The written opinion shall include the following:
      (A) The occupationally pertinent results of the medical examination and tests;
      (B) The physician's opinion concerning whether the employee has any detected medical conditions which would place the employee at increased risk of material impairment of health from exposure to MDA;
      (C) The physician's recommended limitations upon the employee's exposure to MDA or upon the employee's use of protective clothing or equipment and respirators; and
      (D) A statement that the employee has been informed by the physician of the results of the medical examination and any medical conditions resulting from MDA exposure which require further explanation or treatment.
     (ii) The written opinion obtained by the employer shall not reveal specific findings or diagnoses unrelated to occupational exposures.
   (9) Medical removal -
     (i) Temporary medical removal of an employee -
      (A) Temporary removal resulting from occupational exposure. The employee shall be removed from work environments in which exposure to MDA is at or above the action level or where dermal exposure to MDA may occur, following an initial examination (paragraph (n)(2) of this section), periodic examinations (paragraph (n)(3) of this section), an emergency situation (paragraph (n)(4) of this section), or an additional examination (paragraph (n)(5) of this section) in the following circumstances:
        (1) When the employee exhibits signs and/or symptoms indicative of acute exposure to MDA; or
        (2) When the examining physician determines that an employee's abnormal liver function tests are not associated with MDA exposure but that the abnormalities may be exacerbated as a result of occupational exposure to MDA.
      (B) Temporary removal due to a final medical determination.
        (1) The employer shall remove an employee from work having an exposure to MDA at or above the action level or where the potential for dermal exposure exists on each occasion that a final medical determination results in a medical finding, determination, or opinion that the employee has a detected medical condition which places the employee at increased risk of material impairment to health from exposure to MDA.
        (2) For the purposes of this section, the phrase "final medical determination" shall mean the outcome of the physician review mechanism used pursuant to the medical surveillance provisions of this section.
        (3) Where a final medical determination results in any recommended special protective measures for an employee, or limitations on an employee's exposure to MDA, the employer shall implement and act consistent with the recommendation.
     (ii) Return of the employee to former job status.
      (A) The employer shall return an employee to his or her former job status:
        (1) When the employee no longer shows signs or symptoms of exposure to MDA, or upon the advice of the physician.
        (2) When a subsequent final medical determination results in a medical finding, determination, or opinion that the employee no longer has a detected medical condition which places the employee at increased risk of material impairment to health from exposure to MDA.
      (B) For the purposes of this section, the requirement that an employer return an employee to his or her former job status is not intended to expand upon or restrict any rights an employee has or would have had, absent temporary medical removal, to a specific job classification or position under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement.
     (iii) Removal of other employee special protective measure or limitations. The employer shall remove any limitations placed on an employee or end any special protective measures provided to an employee pursuant to a final medical determination when a subsequent final medical determination indicates that the limitations or special protective measures are no longer necessary.
     (iv) Employer options pending a final medical determination. Where the physician review mechanism used pursuant to the medical surveillance provisions of this section, has not yet resulted in a final medical determination with respect to an employee, the employer shall act as follows:
      (A) Removal. The employer may remove the employee from exposure to MDA, provide special protective measures to the employee, or place limitations upon the employee, consistent with the medical findings, determinations, or recommendations of the physician who has reviewed the employee's health status.
      (B) Return. The employer may return the employee to his or her former job status, and end any special protective measures provided to the employee, consistent with the medical findings, determinations, or recommendations of any of the physicians who have reviewed the employee's health status, with two exceptions:
        (1) If the initial removal, special protection, or limitation of the employee resulted from a final medical determination which differed from the findings, determinations, or recommendations of the initial physician; or
        (2) The employee has been on removal status for the preceding six months as a result of exposure to MDA, then the employer shall await a final medical determination.
     (v) Medical removal protection benefits -
      (A) Provisions of medical removal protection benefits. The employer shall provide to an employee up to six (6) months of medical removal protection benefits on each occasion that an employee is removed from exposure to MDA or otherwise limited pursuant to this section.
      (B) Definition of medical removal protection benefits. For the purposes of this section, the requirement that an employer provide medical removal protection benefits means that the employer shall maintain the earnings, seniority, and other employment rights and benefits of an employee as though the employee had not been removed from normal exposure to MDA or otherwise limited.
      (C) Follow-up medical surveillance during the period of employee removal or limitations. During the period of time that an employee is removed from normal exposure to MDA or otherwise limited, the employer may condition the provision of medical removal protection benefits upon the employee's participation in follow-up medical surveillance made available pursuant to this section.
      (D) Workers' compensation claims. If a removed employee files a claim for workers' compensation payments for a MDA-related disability, then the employer shall continue to provide medical removal protection benefits pending disposition of the claim. To the extent that an award is made to the employee for earnings lost during the period of removal, the employer's medical removal protection obligation shall be reduced by such amount. The employer shall receive no credit for workers' compensation payments received by the employee for treatment-related expenses.
      (E) Other credits. The employer's obligation to provide medical removal protection benefits to a removed employee shall be reduced to the extent that the employee receives compensation for earnings lost during the period of removal either from a publicly or employer-funded compensation program, or receives income from employment with any employer made possible by virtue of the employee's removal.
      (F) Employees who do not recover within the 6 months of removal. The employer shall take the following measures with respect to any employee removed from exposure to MDA:
        (1) The employer shall make available to the employee a medical examination pursuant to this section to obtain a final medical determination with respect to the employee;
        (2) The employer shall assure that the final medical determination obtained indicates whether or not the employee may be returned to his or her former job status, and, if not, what steps should be taken to protect the employee's health;
        (3) Where the final medical determination has not yet been obtained, or once obtained indicates that the employee may not yet be returned to his or her former job status, the employer shall continue to provide medical removal protection benefits to the employee until either the employee is returned to former job status, or a final medical determination is made that the employee is incapable of ever safely returning to his or her former job status; and
        (4) Where the employer acts pursuant to a final medical determination which permits the return of the employee to his or her former job status despite what would otherwise be an unacceptable liver function test, later questions concerning removing the employee again shall be decided by a final medical determination. The employer need not automatically remove such an employee pursuant to the MDA removal criteria provided by this section.
     (vi) Voluntary removal or restriction of an employee. Where an employer, although not required by this section to do so, removes an employee from exposure to MDA or otherwise places limitations on an employee due to the effects of MDA exposure on the employee's medical condition, the employer shall provide medical removal protection benefits to the employee equal to that required by paragraph (n)(9)(v) of this section.
  (o) Recordkeeping -
   (1) Objective data for exempted operations.
     (i) Where the employer has relied on objective data that demonstrate that products made from or containing MDA are not capable of releasing MDA or do not present a dermal exposure problem under the expected conditions of processing, use, or handling to exempt such operations from the initial monitoring requirements under paragraph (f)(2) of this section, the employer shall establish and maintain an accurate record of objective data reasonably relied upon in support of the exemption.
     (ii) The record shall include at least the following information:
      (A) The product qualifying for exemption;
      (B) The source of the objective data;
      (C) The testing protocol, results of testing, and/or analysis of the material for the release of MDA;
      (D) A description of the operation exempted and how the data support the exemption; and
      (E) Other data relevant to the operations, materials, processing, or employee exposures covered by the exemption.
     (iii) The employer shall maintain this record for the duration of the employer's reliance upon such objective data.
   (2) Historical monitoring data.
     (i) Where the employer has relied on historical monitoring data that demonstrate that exposures on a particular job will be below the action level to exempt such operations from the initial monitoring requirements under paragraph (f)(2) of this section, the employer shall establish and maintain an accurate record of historical monitoring data reasonably relied upon in support of the exception.
     (ii) The record shall include information that reflect the following conditions:
      (A) The data upon which judgments are based are scientifically sound and were collected using methods that are sufficiently accurate and precise;
      (B) The processes and work practices that were in use when the historical monitoring data were obtained are essentially the same as those to be used during the job for which initial monitoring will not be performed;
      (C) The characteristics of the MDA-containing material being handled when the historical monitoring data were obtained are the same as those on the job for which initial monitoring will not be performed;
      (D) Environmental conditions prevailing when the historical monitoring data were obtained are the same as those on the job for which initial monitoring will not be performed; and
      (E) Other data relevant to the operations, materials, processing, or employee exposures covered by the exception.
     (iii) The employer shall maintain this record for the duration of the employer's reliance upon such historical monitoring data.
   (3) The employer may utilize the services of competent organizations such as industry trade associations and employee associations to maintain the records required by this section.
   (4) Exposure measurements.
     (i) The employer shall keep an accurate record of all measurements taken to monitor employee exposure to MDA.
     (ii) This record shall include at least the following information:

      (C) Sampling and analytical methods used and evidence of their accuracy;
      (D) Number, duration, and results of samples taken;
      (E) Type of protective devices worn, if any; and
      (F) Name and exposure of the employees whose exposures are represented.
     (iii) The employer shall maintain this record for at least thirty (30) years, in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.33.
   (5) Medical surveillance.
     (i) The employer shall establish and maintain an accurate record for each employee subject to medical surveillance by paragraph (n) of this section, in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.33.
     (ii) The record shall include at least the following information:
      (A) The name of the employee;
      (B) A copy of the employee's medical examination results, including the medical history, questionnaire responses, results of any tests, and physician's recommendations.
      (C) Physician's written opinions;
      (D) Any employee medical complaints related to exposure to MDA; and
      (E) A copy of the information provided to the physician as required by paragraph (n) of this section.
