Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2017-0666; Airspace Docket No. 17-ANM-15]

Proposed Amendment of Class D and Class E Airspace; Pueblo, CO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend Class D airspace, Class E
surface area airspace, and Class E airspace upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Pueblo Memorial Airport, Pueblo, CO. The part-time
Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) information would be removed from Class E
airspace designated as an extension. The geographic coordinates for
Pueblo Memorial Airport in the associated Class D and E airspace areas
also would be amended to match the FAA's aeronautical database. A
biennial review found these changes are necessary to accommodate
airspace redesign for the safety and management of Instrument Flight
Rules (IFR) operations within the National Airspace System. Also, an
editorial change would be made to the Class D and Class E airspace
legal descriptions replacing ``Airport/Facility Directory'' with the
term ``Chart Supplement.''

DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 18, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this proposal to the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., West

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would amend Class D and Class E airspace at Pueblo Memorial
Airport, Pueblo, CO to support IFR operations at the airport.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in
triplicate to the address listed above. Persons wishing the FAA to
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with
those comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the
following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2017-0666/
Airspace Docket No. 17-ANM-15''. The postcard will be date/time stamped

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by
Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective

September 15, 2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by modifying Class D airspace, Class E
surface area airspace, Class E airspace designated as an extension, and
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at
Pueblo Memorial Airport, Pueblo, CO.
    Class D airspace and Class E surface area airspace would be reduced
to within a 5.1-mile radius (from 5.6 miles) of Pueblo Memorial
Airport.
    The Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D or
Class E surface area east of the airport would be modified to a 7.2
mile wide segment (from 7 miles) extending to 11.3 miles (from 11.4
miles) east of the airport; the segment west of the airport would be
removed as it is not necessary to support current operations; and a
segment would be established north of the airport within 1.6 miles west
and 1.3 miles east of the 358[deg] bearing from the airport extending
from the 5.1 mile radius to 6.7 miles north of the airport.
    Also, this action would eliminate the following language from the
legal description of Class E airspace designated as an extension to a
Class D or Class E surface area at the airport: ``This Class E airspace
is effective during the specific dates and times established in advance
by a Notice to Airmen. The effective date and time will thereafter be
continuously published in the Airport/Facility Directory,'' since the
airspace remains in effect full time.
    Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet would be reduced to
within a 7.6-mile radius of the Pueblo Memorial Airport with extensions
to 12 miles north and 12.3 miles east of the airport (from a 21.8-mile
radius with an extension to 28.2 miles east). Also, this action would
remove Class E airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the
surface since the airspace is wholly contained within the Denver Class
E en route airspace area and duplication is not necessary.
    Additionally, this action would update the geographic coordinates
for Pueblo Memorial Airport and replace the outdated term ``Airport/
Facility Directory'' with the term ``Chart Supplement'' in the
associated Class D and Class E airspace legal descriptions. This
proposed airspace redesign is necessary for the safety and management
of IFR operations at the airport.
    Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in
paragraphs 5000, 6002, 6004, and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order
7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15, 2016, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and E airspace
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in
the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (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); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN -- DOCKET OST 2004-17116

________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________

This serves as notice to the public of the action described below, taken
by the Department official indicated (no additional confirming order
will be issued in this matter).

Applicant:  VOLGA-DNEPR J.S. CARGO AIRLINE
                    Date Filed:  February 12, 2004

Relief requested:  Exemption from 49 U.S.C. section 40109(g) to permit
the applicant to operate two, one-way, cargo charter flights from
Honolulu, Hawaii, to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, through February 21, 2004,
using its AN-124-100 aircraft to transport six rail-coach cars (three
per flight), on behalf of Siemens Automation.  The applicant stated that
Siemens, due to unanticipated delay in the shipment schedules of this
cargo, now urgently needs lift to get the cargo to the Chicago area for
the National Manufacturing Week display (starting February 23, 2004);
that the cargo is too large for transportation on U.S.-carrier aircraft;
and that ocean transportation is not feasible because of the long time
period that such mode of transportation would take.

Applicant representative:  Glenn P. Wicks,<PHONE_NUMBER>
DOT analyst:  Allen F. Brown,<PHONE_NUMBER>

Responsive pleadings:  Volga-Dnepr served its application on those U.S.
carriers operating large, all-cargo aircraft.  Each carrier indicated
that it did not have aircraft available to conduct the proposed
operation and that it had no comment or did not oppose grant of the
requested authority.

Statutory Standards:  Under 49 U.S.C. section 40109(g), we may authorize
a foreign air carrier to carry commercial traffic between U.S. points
(i.e., cabotage traffic) under limited circumstances.  Specifically, we
must find that the authority is required in the public interest; that
because of an emergency created by unusual circumstances not arising in
the normal course of business the traffic cannot be accommodated by U.S.
carriers holding certificates under 49 U.S.C. section 41102; that all
possible efforts have been made to place the traffic on U.S. carriers;
and that the transportation is necessary to avoid unreasonable hardship
to the traffic involved (an additional required finding, concerning
emergency transportation during labor disputes, was not relevant here).

        DISPOSITION

Action: Approved
                                               Action date:  February
13, 2004

Effective dates of authority granted:  February 13, 2004, through
February 21, 2004

Basis for approval:  We are granting Volga Dnepr’s request to operate
its two proposed one-way flights from Hawaii to Milwaukee, through
February 21, 2004.  We found that it met all the relevant criteria of 49
U.S.C. section 40109(g) for the grant of an exemption of this type and
that the grant was required in the public interest.  Specifically, we
were persuaded that the need to move the cargo promptly, following
unanticipated delay in the shipment schedules, in order to get the cargo
to the Chicago area for the manufacturing display (starting February 23,
2004), the fact that the cargo currently cannot be transported by ocean
transportation because of the long time period such movement would
entail, the potential negative impact of delivery delay; and the unique,
outsized nature of the cargo, constituted an emergency not arising in
the normal course of business.  Moreover, based on the representations
of the U.S. carriers, we concluded that no U.S. carrier had aircraft
available that could be used to conduct the operation at issue here.  We
also found that, under the circumstances, grant of this authority would
prevent unreasonable hardship to Siemens Automation.  Finally, we found
that the applicant was qualified to perform its proposed operation.

Except to the extent exempted/waived, this authority is subject to our
standard exemption conditions and to the condition that the applicant
comply with an FAA-approved flight routing for the authorized flight.

Action taken by:        Karan K. Bhatia

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP23-194-000]

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC; Notice of Scoping
Period Requesting Comments on Environmental Issues for the Proposed
Alabama Georgia Connector Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental document, that will discuss
the environmental impacts of the Alabama Georgia Connector Project
involving construction and operation of facilities by Transcontinental
Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC (Transco) in Marengo and Randolph Counties,
Alabama; and Coweta, Henry, and Walton Counties, Georgia. The
Commission will use this environmental document in its decision-making
process to determine whether the project is in the public convenience
and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies regarding the project. As part of the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) review process, the Commission takes into account
concerns the public may have about proposals and the environmental
impacts that could result from its action whenever it considers the
issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. This
gathering of public input is referred to as ``scoping.'' The main goal
of the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the environmental
document on the important environmental issues. Additional information
about the Commission's NEPA process is described below in the NEPA
Process and Environmental Document section of this notice.
    By this notice, the Commission requests public comments on the
scope of issues to address in the environmental document. To ensure
that your comments are timely and properly recorded, please submit your
comments so that the Commission receives them in Washington, DC on or
before 5:00pm Eastern Time on July 3, 2023. Comments may be submitted
in written form. Further details on how to submit comments are provided
in the Public Participation section of this notice.
    Your comments should focus on the potential environmental effects,
reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental
impacts. Your input will help the Commission staff determine what
issues they need to evaluate in the environmental document. Commission
staff will consider all written comments during the preparation of the
environmental document.
    If you submitted comments on this project to the Commission before
the opening of this docket on April 19, 2023, you will need to file
those comments in Docket No. CP23-194-000 to ensure they are considered
as part of this proceeding.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and local government
representatives should notify their constituents of this proposed
project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
    If you are a 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 easement agreement. You
are not required to enter into an agreement. However, if the Commission
approves the project, the Natural Gas Act conveys the right of eminent
domain to the company. Therefore, if you and the company do not reach
an easement agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation
proceedings in court. In such instances, compensation would be
determined by a judge in accordance with state law. The Commission does
not subsequently grant, exercise, or oversee the exercise of that
eminent domain authority. The courts have exclusive authority to handle
eminent domain cases; the Commission has no jurisdiction over these
matters.
    Transco provided landowners with a fact sheet prepared by the FERC
entitled ``An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I
Need To Know?''

which addresses typically asked questions, including the use of eminent
domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings. This
fact sheet along with other landowner topics of interest are available
for viewing on the FERC website (www.ferc.gov) under the Natural Gas,
Landowner Topics link.

Public Participation

    There are three methods you can use to submit your comments to the
Commission. Please carefully follow these instructions so that your
comments are properly recorded. The Commission encourages electronic
filing of comments and has staff available to assist you at (866) 208-
3676 or [email protected].
    (1) You can file your comments electronically using the eComment
feature, which is located on the Commission's website (www.ferc.gov)
under the link to FERC Online. Using eComment is an easy method for
submitting brief, text-only comments on a project;
    (2) You can file your comments electronically by using the eFiling
feature, which is also located on the Commission's website
(www.ferc.gov) under the link to FERC Online. 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 will be asked to select the type of
filing you are making; a comment on a particular project is considered
a ``Comment on a Filing;'' or
    (3) You can file a paper copy of your comments by mailing them to
the Commission. Be sure to reference the project docket number (CP23-
194-000) on your letter. Submissions sent via the U.S. Postal Service
must be addressed to: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington, DC
20426. Submissions sent via any other carrier must be addressed to:
Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
12225 Wilkins Avenue, Rockville, Maryland 20852.
    Additionally, the Commission offers a free service called
eSubscription which makes it easy to stay informed of all issuances and
submittals regarding the dockets/projects to which you subscribe. These
instant email notifications are the fastest way to receive notification
and provide a link to the document files which can reduce the amount of
time you spend researching proceedings. Go to https://www.ferc.gov/ferc-online/overview to register for eSubscription.

Summary of the Proposed Project

    Transco proposes to construct and operate various modifications at
five existing compressor stations in Alabama and Georgia. The Alabama
Georgia Connector Project would provide about 63,800 dekatherms per day
of year-round firm transportation capacity on Transco's system for the
Oglethorpe Power Corporation, the Municipal Gas Authority of Georgia
(MGAG), and the City of Buford Georgia.
    The Alabama Georgia Connector Project would consist of the
following facilities:

 Existing Compressor Station 90 (Marengo County, Alabama)
    [cir] Re-wheel two existing compressors.
 Existing Compressor Station 110 (Randolph County, Alabama)
    [cir] Increase the total certificated horsepower (HP) of two gas-
fired turbines from 35,500 HP at International Organization for
Standardization conditions to 39,365 HP at International Organization
for Standardization conditions.
 Existing Compressor Station 115 (Coweta County, Georgia)
    [cir] Re-wheel three existing compressors.
 Existing Compressor Station 120 (Henry County, Georgia)
    [cir] Replacement of an existing certificated 12,000 HP electric
motor driven compressor unit with a 22,500 HP electric motor driven
compressor unit
 Existing Compressor Station 125 (Walton County, Georgia).
    [cir] Increase the total certificated HP of the station from 49,800
HP to 55,800 HP (by increasing the currently certificated HP of an
existing compressor unit from 9.000 to 15,000 HP and re-wheel of one
existing compressor.

    Transco would also modify station piping within the compressor
stations listed above. The general location of the project facilities
is shown in appendix 1.\1\

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the proposed facilities would disturb about 122.4
acres of land within existing compressor station facilities and
temporary use of existing permanent facility roads. No new permanent
areas would be required for the project; however, the existing
permanent facility areas and roads would continue to be maintained
after the construction of the project.

NEPA Process and the Environmental Document

    Any environmental document issued by the Commission will discuss
impacts that could occur as a result of the construction and operation
of the proposed project under the relevant general resource areas:

     geology and soils;
     water resources and wetlands;
     vegetation and wildlife;
     threatened and endangered species;
     cultural resources;
     land use;
     socioeconomics;
     environmental justice;
     air quality and noise;
     reliability and safety.

    Commission staff 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. Your
comments will help Commission staff identify and focus on the issues
that might have an effect on the human environment and potentially
eliminate others from further study and discussion in the environmental
document.
    Following this scoping period, Commission staff will determine
whether to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) or an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS). The EA or the EIS will present Commission
staff's independent analysis of the issues. If Commission staff
prepares an EA, a Notice of Schedule for the Preparation of an
Environmental Assessment will be issued. The EA may be issued for an
allotted public comment period. The Commission would consider timely
comments on the EA before making its decision regarding the proposed
project. If Commission staff prepares an EIS, a Notice of Intent to
Prepare an EIS/Notice of Schedule will be issued, which will open an
additional comment period. Staff will then prepare a draft EIS which
will be issued for public comment. Commission staff will consider all
timely comments received during the comment period on the draft EIS and
revise the document, as necessary, before issuing a final EIS. Any EA
or draft and final EIS will be available in electronic format in the

public record through eLibrary \2\ and the Commission's natural gas
environmental documents web page (https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/natural-gas/environment/environmental-documents). If eSubscribed, you
will receive instant email notification when the environmental document
is issued.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Form N-MFP, OMB Control No. 3235-0657, SEC File No. 270-604.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget a request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information discussed below.
    Section 30(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 [15 U.S.C. 80a-
30(b)] (``Act'') provides that ``[e]very registered investment company
shall file with the Commission[hellip]such information, documents, and
reports (other than financial statements), as the Commission may
require to keep reasonably current the information and documents
contained in the registration statement of such company[hellip].'' Rule
30b1-7 under the Act [17 CFR 270.30b1-7], entitled ``Monthly Report for
Money Market Funds,'' provides that every registered investment
company, or series thereof, that is regulated as a money market fund
under rule 2a-7 [17

CFR 270.2a-7] must file with the Commission a monthly report of
portfolio holdings on Form N-MFP [17 CFR 274.201] no later than the
fifth business day of each month. Form N-MFP sets forth the specific
disclosure items that money market funds must provide. The report must
be filed electronically using the Commission's electronic filing system
(``EDGAR'') in eXtensible Markup Language (``XML'') format.
    Certain provisions of the rule and form contain ``collection of
information'' requirements. We estimate that 684 money market funds are
required by rule 30b1-7 to file, on a monthly basis, a complete report
on Form N-MFP disclosing certain information regarding the fund and its
portfolio holdings. We further estimate that an additional ten new
money market funds will file reports on Form N-MFP each year. For
purposes of this Paperwork Reduction Act analysis, the burden
associated with the requirements of rule 30b1-7 is included in the
collection of information requirements of Form N-MFP, rather than the
rule. Based on conversations with industry participants, we estimate
that money market funds prepare and file their reports on Form N-MFP by
either (1) licensing a software solution and preparing and filing the
report in house, or (2) retaining a service provider to provide data
aggregation and validation services as part of the preparation and
filing of reports on Form N-MFP on behalf of the fund.
    We estimate that 35% of money market funds (239 funds) license a
software solution and file reports on Form N-MFP in house; we further
estimate that each fund that files reports on Form N-MFP in house
requires an average of approximately 42 burden hours to compile
(including review of the information), tag, and electronically file the
Form N-MFP for the first time and an average of approximately 8 burden
hours for subsequent filings. Therefore, we estimate the per fund
average annual hour burden is 96 hours for existing funds and 130 hours
for new money market funds. Based on an estimate of 239 existing fund
filers and 4 new fund filers each year, we estimate that filing reports
on Form N-MFP in house takes 23,464 hours per year.
    We estimate that 65% of money market funds (445 funds) retain the
services of a third party to provide data aggregation and validation
services as part of the preparation and filing of reports on Form N-MFP
on the fund's behalf; we further estimate that each fund requires an
average of approximately 21 burden hours to compile and review the
information with the service provider prior to electronically filing
the report for the first time and an average of approximately 4 burden
hours for subsequent filings. Therefore, we estimate the per fund
average annual hour burden is 48 hours for existing funds and 65 hours
for new money market funds. Based on an estimate of 445 existing fund
filers and 6 new fund filers each year, we estimate that filing reports
on Form N-MFP using a service provider takes 21,750 hours per year. In
sum, we estimate that filing reports on Form N-MFP imposes a total
annual hour burden of 45,214 on all money market funds.
    In addition to the costs associated with the hours burdens
discussed above, money market funds incur other external costs. Based
on discussions with industry participants, we estimate that money
market funds that file reports on Form N-MFP in house license a third-
party software solution to assist in filing their reports at an average
cost of $3,360 per fund per year. In addition, we estimate that money
market funds that use a service provider to prepare and file reports on
Form N-MFP pay an average fee of $8,000 per fund per year. In sum, we
estimate that all money market funds incur on average, in the
aggregate, external annual costs of $4,424,480.\1\ This estimate is
based on the following calculation: (243 money market funds (239
existing funds + 4 new funds) that file reports on Form N-MFP in house
x $3,360 per fund, per year) + (451 money market funds (445 existing
funds + 6 new funds) that file reports on Form N-MFP using a service
provider x $8,000 per fund, per year) = $4,424,480.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The estimate of burden hours and costs are made solely for
the purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act. The estimates are not
derived from a comprehensive or even a representative survey or
study of the costs of Commission rules. The collection of
information under Form N-MFP is mandatory. The information provided
by the form is not kept confidential. 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 control number.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The public may view the background documentation for this
information collection at the following Web site: http://www.reginfo.gov. Please direct general comments regarding the above
information to the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. PF13-1-000]

Excelerate Liquefaction Solutions I, LLC; Lavaca Bay Pipeline
System, LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement for the Planned Lavaca Bay LNG Project, Request for Comments
on Environmental Issues, and Notice of Public Scoping Meeting

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) that
will discuss the environmental impacts of the Lavaca Bay LNG Project
involving construction and operation of facilities by Excelerate
Liquefaction Solutions I, LLC (ELS I) and Lavaca Bay Pipeline System,
LLC (LBPS) (collectively referred to as ELS) in Calhoun and Jackson
Counties, Texas. The Commission will use this EIS in its decision-
making process to determine whether the project is in the public
convenience and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies on the project. Your input will help the Commission staff
determine what issues they need to evaluate in the EIS. Please note
that the scoping period will close on April 4, 2013.
    You may submit comments in written form or verbally. Further
details on how to submit written comments are in the Public
Participation section of this notice. In lieu of or in addition to
sending written comments, the Commission invites you to attend the
public scoping meeting scheduled as follows: FERC Public Scoping
Meeting, Lavaca Bay LNG Project, March 21, 2013, 7:00 p.m. local time,
Bauer Community Center, 2300 Texas 35, Port Lavaca, TX 77979, (361)
552-1234.
    The project applicants will be available at the same location
starting at 6:00 p.m. to answer questions.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and local government
representatives should notify their constituents of this planned
project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company
representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the planned 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 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.

Involvement of the U.S. Department of Energy

    The FERC is the lead federal agency in preparing the EIS to satisfy
the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Fossil Energy, has agreed to
participate as a cooperating agency in the preparation of the EIS to
satisfy its NEPA responsibilities.
    Under section 3 of the Natural Gas Act of 1938, as amended (NGA),
15 U.S.C. 717b, DOE would authorize the export of natural gas,
including liquefied natural gas (LNG), to countries with which the
United States has not entered into a free trade agreement providing for
national treatment for trade in natural gas, unless it finds that the
proposed export will not be consistent with the public interest. For
the Project, the purpose and need for DOE action is to respond to ELS
I's application filed with DOE on October 5, 2012 (FE Docket No. 12-
146-LNG), seeking authorization to export up to 10 million metric tons
(equivalent to 1.33 billion standard cubic feet per day) of domestic
natural gas as LNG for a 20-year period from the proposed ELS
facilities in Calhoun County, Texas, commencing the earlier of the date
of first export or seven years from the date that the requested
authorization is issued. DOE authorization of ELS' application would
allow the export of LNG to any country: (1) With which the United
States does not have a free trade agreement requiring the national
treatment for trade in natural gas; (2) that has, or in the future
develops, the capacity to import LNG; and (3) with which trade is not
prohibited by U.S. law or policy.

Summary of the Planned Project

    ELS plans to develop, construct, and operate liquefied natural gas
terminal facilities that include two purpose-built floating
liquefaction, storage, and offloading units (FLSOs) and a 29-mile-long
pipeline header system to transport natural gas from existing pipeline
systems to the LNG terminal facilities. The Project would be
constructed in two phases: Phase 1 would include a single FLSO with a
storage capacity of about 250,000 cubic meters (m\3\) of LNG and the
capacity to produce up to four million tons per annum (MTPA), nominally
of natural gas. Phase 2 would include facilities to support a second
FLSO that would double the production to eight MTPA, nominally.
    The Lavaca Bay LNG Project would consist of the following
facilities:

Marine Facilities:
     Two double-hulled, permanently moored, FLSOs, each
containing 10 LNG storage tanks, four 1 MTPA PRICO system trains for
liquefaction, centrifugal refrigerant compressors, and associated
infrastructure;
     Mooring structures and fenders to provide support for the
FLSOs and LNG carriers;
     A new 2,218-foot-diameter turning basin dredged to a depth
of 45.5 feet below the site datum, located adjacent to the existing
Matagorda Ship Channel;
     Two berthing pockets, each 450 feet wide by 1,310 feet
long, dredged to a depth of 60.5 feet below the site datum; and
     A 3,200-foot-long jetty with two reinforced concrete
decked piers located adjacent to the turning basins.

    In addition, ELS would deepen and widen the Matagorda Ship Channel
to a depth of -44 feet mean low tide and a channel bottom width up to
300 feet.

Shoreside Facilities:
     A pig \1\ launcher and receiver;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A ``pig'' is a tool that the pipeline company inserts into
and pushes through the pipeline for cleaning the pipeline,
conducting internal inspections, or other purposes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Feed gas metering, compression, and pre-treatment;
     An inlet bulk separator;
     A condensate storage tank;
     A power generation system;
     A cooling water system and instrument air package;
     A cold vent/ground flare;
     A fire water system and water treatment plant; and
     Support buildings, including offices, control room,
warehouse, and shop.
Pipeline Header System:

     A 29-mile-long, 42-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline
extending northward from the shoreside facilities to nine natural gas
interconnects southwest of Edna, Texas.
    The general location of the project facilities is shown in appendix
1.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The appendices referenced in this notice will not appear in
the Federal Register. Copies of the appendices were sent to all
those receiving this notice in the mail and are available at
www.ferc.gov using the link called ``eLibrary'' or from the
Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street NE.,
Washington, DC 20426, or call<PHONE_NUMBER>. For instructions on
connecting to eLibrary, refer to the last page of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Land Requirements for Construction

    The planned LNG terminal facilities (i.e., marine and shoreside
facilities) would be constructed on about 85 acres of land. Of this
amount, about 45 acres includes existing uplands and the remaining 40
acres would be created using dredge spoil from construction of the
turning basin and two berthing pockets. Construction of the pipeline
header system would require about 327 acres of land for construction
and 164 acres for operation. The Project would also require
approximately 150 additional acres for temporary use for construction
laydown/staging areas and parking areas.

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 a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA
also requires us \3\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    In the EIS we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of
the construction and operation of the planned project under these
general headings:
     Geology and soils;
     Water resources, fisheries, and wetlands;
     Vegetation and wildlife;
     Endangered and threatened species;
     Cultural resources;
     Land use;
     Socioeconomics;
     Air quality and noise;
     Reliability and safety;
     Engineering and design material; and
     Cumulative environmental impacts.
    We will also evaluate possible alternatives to the planned project
or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to lessen
or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    Although no formal application has been filed, we have already
initiated our NEPA review under the Commission's pre-filing process.
The purpose of the pre-filing process is to encourage early involvement
of interested stakeholders and to identify and resolve issues before
the FERC receives an application. As part of our pre-filing review, we
have begun to contact some federal and state agencies to discuss their
involvement in the scoping process and the preparation of the EIS.
    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 7.
    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction by law
and/or special expertise with respect to the environmental issues
related to this project to formally cooperate with us in the
preparation of the EIS \4\. Agencies that would like to request
cooperating agency status should follow the instructions for filing
comments provided under the Public Participation section of this
notice. Currently, DOE has expressed its intention to participate as a
cooperating agency in the preparation of the EIS to satisfy its NEPA
responsibilities related to this project. Also, in accordance with the
2004 Interagency Agreement on the safety and security review of
waterfront import/export LNG facilities, the U.S. Coast Guard and U.S.
Department of Transportation participate as cooperating agencies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Council on Environmental Quality regulations addressing
cooperating agency responsibilities are at Title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations, Sec.  1501.6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consultations Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act

    In accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's

implementing regulations for section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, we are using this notice to initiate consultation
with applicable State Historic Preservation Office(s), and to solicit
their views and those of other government agencies, interested Indian
tribes, and the public on the project's potential effects on historic
properties.\5\ We will define the project-specific Area of Potential
Effects (APE) in consultation with the SHPO as the project develops. On
natural gas facility projects, the APE at a minimum encompasses all
areas subject to ground disturbance (examples include construction
right-of-way, contractor/pipe storage yards, compressor stations, and
access roads). Our EIS for this project will document our findings on
the impacts on historic properties and summarize the status of
consultations under section 106.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation regulations
are at Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 800. Those
regulations define historic properties as any prehistoric or
historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in
or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic
Places.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently Identified Environmental Issues

    We have already identified several issues that we think deserve
attention based on a preliminary review of the planned facilities and
the environmental information provided by ELS. This preliminary list of
issues may change based on your comments and our analysis. Issued
identified include:
     Potential impacts on recreational fishing and aquatic
resources in the Matagorda Ship Channel;
     Potential impacts to fish and wildlife habitat, including
potential impacts to federally and state-listed threatened and
endangered species;
     Potential impacts and potential benefits of construction
workforce on local housing, infrastructure, public services, and
economy;
     Potential visual effects on surrounding areas; and
     Public safety and hazards associated with the liquefaction
and transport of LNG.

certain distances of aboveground facilities, and anyone who submits
comments on the project. 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 project.
    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 3).

Becoming an Intervenor

    Once ELS files its application with the Commission, 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. Please
note that the Commission will not accept requests for intervenor status
at this time. You must wait until the Commission receives a formal
application for the project.

Additional Information

    Additional information about the project is available from the
Commission's Office of External Affairs, at (866) 208-FERC, or on the
FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link. Click on the
eLibrary link, click on ``General Search'' and enter the docket number,
excluding the last three digits in the Docket Number field (i.e., PF13-
1-000). Be sure you have selected an appropriate date range. For
assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll free at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or for TTY,
contact<PHONE_NUMBER>. The eLibrary link also provides access to the
texts of formal documents issued by the Commission, such as orders,
notices, and rulemakings.
    In addition, the Commission offers a free service called
eSubscription which allows you to keep track of all formal issuances
and submittals in specific dockets. This can reduce the amount of time
you spend researching proceedings by automatically providing you with
notification of these filings, document summaries, and direct links to
the documents. Go to www.ferc.gov/esubscribenow.htm.
    Finally, public meetings or site visits will be posted on the
Commission's calendar located at www.ferc.gov/EventCalendar/EventsList.aspx along with other related information.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-84791; File No. SR-GEMX-2018-41]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq GEMX, LLC; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Delete GEMX
Section 22 of the Rulebook

December 11, 2018.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on November 29, 2018, Nasdaq GEMX, LLC (``GEMX'' or ``Exchange'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or ``Commission'')
the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III, below,
which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change
from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to delete GEMX Section 22 of the GEMX
rulebook (``Rulebook'') entitled ``Rate-Modified Foreign Currency
Options Rules.''
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at http://nasdaqgemx.cchwallstreet.com/, at the principal
office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the

proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    GEMX rules at Section 22, titled ``Rate-Modified Foreign Currency
Options Rules'' incorporate by reference Nasdaq ISE, LLC (``ISE'')
Chapter 22. ISE recently filed to delete Section 22 from its
Rulebook.\3\ At this time, the Exchange proposes to delete the text at
Section 22 of GEMX rules as the ISE rule no longer exists and there is
no rule to incorporate by reference.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 84516 (November 1,
2018), 83 FR 55771 (November 7, 2018) (SR-ISE-2018-91).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\4\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\5\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system, and, in general to protect investors and the public interest,
by eliminating rule text within GEMX's Rulebook which redirects GEMX
Members to a non-existent ISE section of rules for listing and trading
FCOs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange [sic] recently eliminated ISE rules at Section 22.
GEMX Section 22 incorporated by reference ISE Section 22. GEMX proposes
to remove the text at Section 22 to avoid confusion.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange does not believe
that eliminating the GEMX Section 22 rules will create an undue burden
on intra-market competition because this rule set directs GEMX Members
to a nonexistent ISE section of rules.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \6\ and
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \7\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
