    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest in any of the above
proceedings must file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and
385.214) on or before 5 p.m. Eastern time on the specified comment
date. It is not necessary to separately intervene again in a subdocket
related to a compliance filing if you have previously intervened in the
same docket. Protests will be considered by the Commission in
determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to
make protestants parties to the proceeding. Anyone filing a motion to
intervene or protest must serve a copy of that document on the
Applicant. In reference to filings initiating a new proceeding,
interventions or protests submitted on or before the comment deadline
need not be served on persons other than the Applicant.
    As it relates to any qualifying facility filings, the notices of
self-certification [or self-recertification] listed above, do not
institute a proceeding regarding qualifying facility status. A notice
of self-certification [or self-recertification] simply provides
notification that the entity making the filing has determined the
facility named in the notice meets the applicable criteria to be a
qualifying facility. Intervention and/or protest do not lie in dockets
that are qualifying facility self-certifications or self-
recertifications. Any person seeking to challenge such qualifying
facility status may do so by filing a motion pursuant to 18 CFR
292.207(d)(iii). Intervention and protests may be filed in response to
notices of qualifying facility dockets other than self-certifications
and self-recertifications.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and
interventions in lieu of paper, using the FERC Online links at http://
www.ferc.gov. To facilitate electronic service, persons with Internet
access who will eFile a document and/or be listed as a contact for an
intervenor must create and validate an eRegistration account using the
eRegistration link. Select the eFiling link to log on and submit the
intervention or protests.
    Persons unable to file electronically should submit an original and
14 copies of the intervention or protest to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First St., NE., Washington, DC 20426.
    The filings in the above proceedings are accessible in the
Commission's eLibrary system by clicking on the appropriate link in the
above list. They are also available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an eSubscription link
on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail notification
when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For assistance with

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP22-138-000]

Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Scoping Period Requesting
Comments on Environmental Issues for the Proposed Northern Lights 2023
Expansion 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 Northern Lights 2023 Expansion Project
(Project), involving construction and operation of facilities by
Northern Natural Gas Company (Northern) in Freeborn, Scott, Sherburne,
Stearns, and Washington Counties, Minnesota, and Monroe County,
Wisconsin. 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 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 17, 2022. 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 comments during the preparation of the
environmental document.
    If you submitted comments about this Project to the Commission
before the opening of this docket on March 28, 2022, you will need to
file those comments in Docket No. CP22-138-000 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.
    Northern 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 Questions or 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 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 (CP22-
138-000) 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

    The Project would provide for incremental winter firm service of
44,222 dekatherms per day (Dth/day) serving residential, commercial and
industrial customer market growth in Northern's Market Area and 6,667
Dth/day of additional firm service that would allow a shipper enhanced
reliability and flexibility in scheduling their transportation
capacity.
    The Project consists of the following facilities:
     A 2.8-mile extension of 36-inch-diameter Ventura North E-
line, in Freeborn County, Minnesota;
     a 1.07-mile, 30-inch-diameter loop of 20-inch-diameter Elk
River 1st and 2nd branch lines, in Washington County, Minnesota;
     a 1.14-mile extension of 24-inch-diameter Willmar D branch
line, in Scott County, Minnesota;
     a 2.5-mile extension of 8-inch-diameter Princeton tie over
loop, in Sherburne County, Minnesota;
     a 2.0-mile loop of 3-inch-diameter Paynesville branch
line, in Stearns County, Minnesota;
     a 0.34-mile extension of 8-inch-diameter Tomah branch line
loop, in Monroe County, Wisconsin; and
     aboveground facilities including one new pig launcher,
four new valve settings, replacement of valves and piping inside four
facilities, removal of three valve settings, and associated piping.
    The general location of the Project facilities is shown in appendix
1.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 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''. For instructions on
connecting to eLibrary, refer to the last page of this notice. At
this time, the Commission has suspended access to the Commission's
Public Reference Room due to the proclamation declaring a National
Emergency concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19),
issued by the President on March 13, 2020. For assistance, contact
FERC at [email protected] or call toll free,<PHONE_NUMBER>
or TTY<PHONE_NUMBER>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the Project would disturb about 255.4 acres of
land. The total acreage required for operation of all Project
facilities is about 52.4 acres. About 12.4 percent of the construction
footprint would overlap with easements for existing Northern
facilities.

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 and recreation;
     environmental justice;
     air quality and noise;
     reliability and safety; and
     cumulative impacts
    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 up 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ For instructions on connecting to eLibrary, refer to the
last page of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With this notice, the Commission is asking agencies with
jurisdiction by law and/or special expertise with respect to the
environmental issues of this Project to formally cooperate in the
preparation of the environmental document.\3\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Council on Environmental Quality regulations addressing
cooperating agency responsibilities are at title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations, section 1501.8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consultation 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, the Commission is using this notice to initiate
consultation with the applicable State Historic

Preservation Offices, 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.\4\ The
environmental document for this Project will document findings on the
impacts on historic properties and summarize the status of
consultations under section 106.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2020-0133, dated June 10, 2020
(``EASA AD 2020-0133'') (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for all Airbus SAS Model A318-111, -112, -121, and -122;
A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, -133, -151N, -153N, and -
171N; A320-211, -212, -214, -215, -216, -231, -232, -233, -251N, -252N,
-253N, -271N, -272N, and -273N; and A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -
213, -231, -232, -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, -251NX, -252NX, -
253NX, -271NX, and -272NX airplanes. Model A320-215 airplanes are not
certificated by the FAA and are not included on the U.S. type
certificate data sheet; this AD therefore does not include those
airplanes in the applicability.
    This AD was prompted by reports of low halon concentration in the
forward and aft cargo compartments due to air leakage through cargo
door seals. The FAA is issuing this AD to address low halon
concentration. This condition, if not corrected, could affect the fire
extinguishing system efficiency in the cargo compartments, possibly
resulting in failure of the system to contain a cargo compartment fire.
See the MCAI for additional background information.

Related IBR Material Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2020-0133 describes procedures for repetitive cleaning and
greasing of affected cargo door seals.
    This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, the FAA
has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA is issuing this AD because the FAA evaluated
all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition exists
and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type
design.

Requirements of This AD

    This AD requires accomplishing the actions specified in EASA AD
2020-0133, described previously, as incorporated by reference, except
for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of
this AD and

discussed under ``Differences Between this AD and the MCAI.''

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA initially worked with Airbus and EASA to develop a
process to use certain EASA ADs as the primary source of information
for compliance with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has
since coordinated with other manufacturers and civil aviation
authorities (CAAs) to use this process. As a result, EASA AD 2020-0133
is incorporated by reference in this final rule. This AD, therefore,
requires compliance with EASA AD 2020-0133 in its entirety, through
that incorporation, except for any differences identified as exceptions
in the regulatory text of this AD. Using common terms that are the same
as the heading of a particular section in the EASA AD does not mean
that operators need comply only with that section. For example, where
the AD requirement refers to ``all required actions and compliance
times,'' compliance with this AD requirement is not limited to the
section titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in the
EASA AD. Service information specified in EASA AD 2020-0133 that is
required for compliance with EASA AD 2020-0133 is available on the
internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating
Docket No. FAA-2020-0672.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to
adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public
justifies waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule
because the fire extinguishing system efficiency in the forward and aft
cargo compartments is adversely affected due to air leakage through
cargo door seals. This condition, if not corrected, may result in
failure of the fire extinguishing system to contain a cargo compartment
fire. In addition, the compliance time for the required action is
shorter than the time necessary for the public to comment and for
publication of the final rule. Therefore, the FAA finds good cause that
notice and opportunity for prior public comment are impracticable. In
addition, for the reasons stated above, the FAA finds that good cause
exists for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and the FAA did not precede it by notice and opportunity for
public comment. The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data,
views, or arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2020-0672;
Project Identifier MCAI-2020-01008-T'' at the beginning of your
comments. The most helpful comments reference a specific portion of the
proposal, explain the reason for any recommended change, and include
supporting data. The FAA will consider all comments received by the
closing date and may amend this AD based on those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments the FAA receives, without change,
to https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The FAA will also post a report summarizing each substantive
verbal contact the FAA receives about this AD.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this final rule, request for
comments, contain commercial or financial information that is
customarily treated as private, that you actually treat as private, and
that is relevant or responsive to this final rule, request for
comments, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this AD. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to person
identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. Any
commentary that the FAA receives which is not specifically designated
as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this rulemaking.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI

    EASA AD 2020-0133 defines ``affected parts'' as those having
certain part numbers, but this AD defines ``affected parts'' as those
specified in EASA AD 2020-0133 and forward and aft cargo door seals
part number D5237106020400S, approved under PMA PQ1715CE. The FAA has
determined that the part number approved under PMA PQ1715CE is also
affected by the unsafe condition. This difference has been coordinated
with EASA and EASA has indicated they may revise EASA AD 2020-0133 to
include this part number.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers this AD interim action. If final action is later
identified, the agency might consider further rulemaking then.

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    The requirements of the RFA do not apply when an agency finds good
cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt a rule without prior notice and
comment. Because the FAA has determined that it has good cause to adopt
this rule without notice and comment, RFA analysis is not required.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 1,630 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

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

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.

    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements.
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866, and
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.

BILLING CODE 4910-13-P


1 PART A OF THE SUPPORTING STATEMENT 1. Identification of the Information Collection 1( a) Title and Number of the Information Collection " Reporting, Recordkeeping and Monitoring Requirements for the National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Halogenated Solvent Cleaning Machines." The Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) tracking number for this ICR is 1652 04.

1( b) Short Characterization ( i) Applicability. Respondents are owners or operators of solvent cleaning machines using any solvent containing methylene chloride ( MC), perchloroethylene ( PCE)' 1, 1,1 trichloroethane ( TCA),

trichloroethylene ( TCE), carbon tetrachloride ( CT), chloroform ( C), or any combination of these halogenated solvents in a concentration greater than 5 percent by weight. This includes batch vapor, in line vapor, in line cold, and batch cold solvent cleaning machines.

( ii) Batch vapor and in line solvent cleaning machines . Owners or operators of a batch vapor or in line cleaning machine subject to this regulation must choose between an equipment/ work practice standard or a solvent emission limit standard in order to comply. All respondents must submit an initial report for applicability determination. All respondents must then submit an initial statement of compliance that delineates the compliance alternative chosen for each solvent cleaning machine and how the requirements are being met.

To comply with the regulation, respondents choose between an equipment/ work practice option and an overall solvent emissions limit option for each solvent cleaning machine. To meet the equipment standards, respondents must either install and monitor specific control device combinations listed in the regulation, or they must monitor the idling emission control parameters that they have established. If the respondents choose to install a control combination listed in the regulation, they must maintain quarterly, monthly or weekly control device monitoring records based on the type of control device installed as specified in the regulation, and installation dates of each 2 cleaning machine and its control devices. The frequency of monitoring and recordkeeping of certain control device parameters is reduced if parameter compliance is consistent and increased when a parameter is exceeded.

Respondents choosing the idling emission option must perform an idling emission test on their solvent cleaning machines and monitor idling emission control parameters. Emission control parameters to be maintained and monitored must be established during the test. In most cases, this test will be completed by the manufacturer of the solvent cleaning machine. All respondents using idling emission parameter monitoring to demonstrate compliance must keep records of the monitoring results, test results ( if an idling emission test was required), and installation dates or certification of each cleaning machine and its control devices.

If the respondents choose the overall solvent emissions limit option, they must maintain a log of the dates and amounts of solvent additions and deletions, and the solvent composition of wastes removed; calculate monthly emissions and rolling 3 month average emissions; and maintain the calculation sheets showing how the emissions were determined. These records~ must be maintained for five years for each solvent cleaning machine.

All respondents must submit an annual report of monitoring or solvent emission results to the EPA. All respondents must submit a biannual exceedance report. If an exceedance occurs,

exceedance reports must be submitted quarterly. The circumstances under which an exceedance of a monitored control parameter occurs, under the equipment standard, are outlined in the regulation. Some exceedances occur when a monitored parameter does not meet specified requirements within 15 days of the initial occurrence of an exceedance of a specified requirement.

Other exceedances occur immediately upon the exceedance of a specified requirement. An exceedance of the overall solvent emissions limit occurs at the time when the emission limit is not met.

( iii) Batch cold cleaning machines . owners or operators of 3 a batch cold cleaning machine must comply with an equipment standard and work practices. All respondents must submit an initial notification report and an initial statement of compliance.

( iv) Record retention. Owners or operators of batch vapor and in line cleaning machines must maintain all control device monitoring or solvent consumption records on site for 5 years.

Owners or operators of batch vapor and in line cleaning machines must retain records of installation dates of each machine and related equipment, owner's manuals, and any test reports for the life of the machine. For existing cleaning machines for which an operator or owner no longer has an owner's manual or any installation records, an owner or operator must provide and maintain certification that the machine and/ or its controls were installed prior to the proposal date. Owners or operators of batch cold cleaning machines have no recordkeeping requirements.

This information will be used by EPA to determine that all sources subject to these national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants ( NESHAP) are achieving the standards.

( v) Need and use of data . Records and reports required by the NESHAP for halogenated solvent cleaners are necessary to enable EPA to identify sources subject to the standards and to ensure that the standards are being achieved. Records and reports must be maintained at the facility and/ or submitted to EPA. The submitted information will be maintained by EPA in a centralized location.

( vi) Cost for Data Collect . Owners or operators are required to comply with the NESHAP for halogenated solvent cleaners at the annual cost of $ 5,887,968.50.

2. Need for and Use of the Collection 2( a) Need/ Authority of the Collection The EPA is required under Section 112( d) of the 1990 Clean Air Act ( Act), to regulate emissions of 189 hazardous air pollutants ( HAP's) listed in Section 112( b) of the Act. The 4 following six pollutants are covered under the halogenated solvent cleaner NESHAP: MC, PCE, TCA, TCE, CT, and C.

In the Administrator's judgement, the pollutants emitted from halogenated HAP solvent cleaning machines cause or contribute significantly to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health. Implementation of the NESHAP for halogenated solvent cleaners will reduce the pollutants emitted to the air.

Certain records and reports are necessary to enable the Administrator to identify sources subject to the standard and to ensure that the standard, which is based on maximum achievable control technology ( MACT) for batch vapor and in line cleaning machines, and generally available control technology ( GACT) for batch cold cleaning machines, is being achieved.

2( b) Practical Utility/ Users Of The Data The information is and/ or will be used by Agency enforcement personnel to: ( 1) identify sources subject to the standard; ( 2)

ensure that MACT and GACT are being properly applied; ( 3) ensure that solvent emissions are being measured or that monitoring is being conducted as specified in the regulation, as appropriate;

( 4) identify those facilities that should be inspected; ( 5)

identify those facilities that may benefit from compliance assistance activities; and ( 6) to ensure that the emission control devices are being properly operated and maintained on a continuous basis to reduce HAP emissions.

The records and reports are necessary to enable the EPA to identify those facilities that may not be in compliance with the standard. Based on reported information, the EPA can decide whether a facility should be targeted for compliance assistance or inspected and what records or processes should be inspected. The records that facilities maintain indicate to the EPA whether plant personnel are operating and maintaining control equipment 5 properly.

To minimize the burden, much of the information the EPA needs to determine compliance will be recorded and retained onsite at the facility. Such information will be reviewed by enforcement personnel during an inspection and will not need to be routinely reported to the EPA. Minimal reporting is necessary unless a violation occurs.

Facilities subject to the NESHAP for halogenated solvent cleaners are not required to achieve compliance with all applicable provisions until December 1997. However, the regulating agencies have made use of the initial notification reports as required in § 63.468( a) to identify sources for compliance assistance activities.

3. THE RESPONDENTS AND THE INFORMATION REQUESTED 3( a) Respondents/ SIC Codes The halogenated solvent cleaning machine source category does not constitute a distinct industry category, but is an integral part of many major and minor industries. The respondents are owners or operators of batch, vapor, or in line ( cold and vapor) solvent cleaning machines using any solvent containing MC,

PCE, TCA, TCE, CT, C, or any combination of these halogenated solvents, in a total concentration greater than 5 percent byweight The largest quantities of halogenated solvents used for cleaning are in the following 2 digit SIC codes: SIC 25,

furniture and fixtures; SIC 24, fabricated metal products; SIC 36, electric and electronic equipment; SIC 37, transportation equipment; and SIC 39, miscellaneous manufacturing. Additional industries that use halogenated solvents in cleaning include the 6 following: SIC 20, food and kindred products; SIC 33, primary metals; SIC 35, nonelectric machinery; and SIC 38, instruments and clocks. Nonmanufacturing industries such as railroad, bus,

aircraft, and truck maintenance facilities; automotive and electric tool repair shops; automobile dealers; and service stations also use halogenated solvent cleaning machines.

3( b) Information Requested ( i) Data items. Attachment 1, Source Data Information Requirements, summarizes the recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

( ii) Respondent activities. The respondent activities required by the standards are listed in the first column of Tables 2 and 3, which are presented in Section 6( a). The activities listed in Tables 2 and 3 are not considered " customary and usual business practice."

4. THE INFORMATION COLLECTED AGENCY ACTIVITIES, COLLECTION METHODOLOGY, AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT 4( a) Agency Activities Reporting and recordkeeping requirements on the part of respondents are required under section 112 of the Act.

Recordkeeping is required to ensure that installation, monitoring and applicable results are documented and maintained. The reports are necessary to inform the regulatory agency that this rule applies to a machine and that the facility is complying with the rule. The reports that are specifically required by the rule are initial notification report, initial statement of compliance report, annual compliance report, exceedance report ( required only when and exceedance occurs and equivalency determination report ( required only if the facility wants to use different equipment or procedures other than those specified in the rule.

Examination of records to be maintained by the respondents will 7 occur incidentally as a part of the periodic inspection and compliance assistance outreach to sources that is part of the EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program and is not attributable to this ICR. A list of Agency activities is provided in Table 4 and is discussed in Section 6( c).

4( b) Collection Methodology and Management This section is not relevant to this information collection request ( ICR).

4( c) Small Entity Flexibility This regulation does not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small business entities because solvent cleaning operations generally represent a small cost share of total production costs, and compliance cost increases would be less than 5 percent of the annual total production costs for small business entities. The alternatives included in the proposed regulation provide flexibility to accommodate small businesses.

4( d) Collection Schedule For all existing sources, the initial notification report was required to be submitted within 9 months of promulgation of this standard. New sources for which construction or reconstruction had commenced and initial startup had not occurred before the date of promulgation of this standard were required submit the initial report as soon as practicable before startup but no later than 60 days after the date of promulgation of the standard. New sources for which the construction or reconstruction commenced after the date of promulgation of this standard must submit the initial notification as soon as practicable before the construction or reconstruction is planned to commence ( but no sooner than the date of promulgation of the standard). Owners or operators of existing solvent cleaning machines must submit an initial compliance report within 150 days 8 of the date of compliance ( December 1997). Owners or operators of new cleaning machines must submit an initial compliance report no later than 150 days after startup or 150 days from the date of promulgation, whichever is later. Thereafter, owners or operators of batch vapor and in line cleaning machines must document compliance through reporting solvent consumption and emissions estimates, or maintaining monitoring records. Also, owners or operators of batch vapor and in line cleaning machines must submit a biannual exceedance report, as discussed in Section 1( b)( ii).

5. NONDUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS, AND OTHER COLLECTION CRITERIA 5( a) Nonduplication There is no duplication of the requested information. There are requirements for some facilities under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act ( SARA, Title III) to track solvent consumption; however, they are required to keep data on a facility wide basis as opposed to tracking solvent consumption for each solvent cleaning machine, and not all facilities that use solvent cleaning machines are required to report under SARA Title III.

5( b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB A 60 day public comment period for the renewal of this ICR was announced in the Federal Register on August 17,2000 ( 65 FR 50196). No comments were received by EPA.

5( c) Consultations The EPA consulted with several industry representatives to obtain information and/ or comment on the burden estimates. Table 1 provides a list of industry representatives who were contacted for information. The industry representatives contacted concurred with the burden estimates provided in this ICR.

Table 1. Persons Contacted For Information Used to 9 Develop the Information Name Affiliation Phone Number Lloyd B. Bryant Allied Signal Aerospace ( 410) 832 220 Edward Parker Sonicor Instrument Corporation ( 516) 842 3344 Alton D. Romig Environmental Consultant ( 610) 865 2284 5( d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection If the relevant information were collected less frequently,

the EPA would not be reasonably assured that an owner or operator of a regulated solvent cleaning machine is in compliance with the standards.

5( e) General Guidelines The NESHAP for halogenated solvent cleaning machines requires that batch vapor and in line solvent cleaning machine owners and operators retain records of control device monitoring or solvent emissions calculations records at facilities for a period of 5 years, which exceeds the 3 year retention period contained in the guidelines in 5 CFR 1320.6.

Title V operating program permits are required for batch vapor and in line cleaning machines. Nonmajor sources are exempt from permitting requirements for 5 years. The 5 year records retention time period is consistent with records retention requirements in the operating permit program under title V of the CAA, and the General Provisions ( CFR Part 63, subpart A). Batch cold cleaning machines located at nonmajor sources are exempt from title V permit requirements.

The batch vapor and in line cleaning machine owners and operators are also required, for the lifetime of each machine and its control devices, to retain the owner's manuals, and records of the dates of installation; or provide and maintain certification of such information if an owner or operator no 10 longer possesses an owner's manual or installation records.

Required performance tests must also be maintained for the lifetime of each cleaning machine, as applicable. The Agency does not consider the retention of these items a burden since no work is required other than placing them in an accessible file.

5( f) Confidentiality ( i) Confidentiality. All information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, Chapter 1, Part 2, Subpart B Confidentiality of Business Information ( see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976;

amended by 43 FR 39999, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 28, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

5( g) Sensitive Questions This section is not applicable because the NESHAP for halogenated solvent cleaning machines does not involve matters of a sensitive nature.

6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection 6( a) Estimating Respondent Burden The annual burden estimates for reporting and recordkeeping requirements are presented in Table 2 for batch vapor and in line cleaning machines and in Table 3 for batch cold cleaning machines. Table 4 is an aggregate burden table that compiles the burden totals from Tables 2 and 3. These numbers were derived from estimates based on the EPA's experience with other standards, and from discussions with the industry representatives listed in Table 1. These costs represent the average burden that will be incurred by industry over a three year period. 11 6( b) Estimating Respondent Costs ( i) Estimating Labor Costs The information collection activities and total costs for facilities subject to the standard are also presented in Tables 2 and 3. It is assumed that there are an average of 2.6 batch vapor and/ or in line solvent cleaning machines per respondent. It is assumed that there is one batch cold solvent cleaning machine per respondent. EPA estimates an average annual respondent hourly cost of $ 56.63 ($ 26.97 + 110% overhead) for managerial staff and $ 35.89 for technical staff ($ 18.94 + 110% overhead). These labor rates were obtained from the United States Department of Commerce Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 1998, Table 2: Employment Costs for Civilian Workers by Occupational and Industry Group.

( ii) Estimating Capital and Operations and Maintenance Costs The total capital cost for facilities with batch vapor and/ or in line solvent cleaning machines to achieve compliance with the standard is estimated to be $ 17,000 ( assumes 2.6 cleaning machines per facility). Although the rule was promulgated in December 1994, affected existing sources were not required to comply with the standard until December 1997.

Therefore, it is assumed that all existing sources will spend the estimated $ 17,000 to achieve compliance with the standard. The annualized capital/ startup cost is estimated to be $ 2,609. The annual operations and maintenance cost associated with the standard for owners or operators of batch vapor or in line solvent cleaning machines is estimated to be $ 858. The total annualized cost requested per facility is $ 3,467. ($ 2609 capital and $ 858 Operations and Maintenance ( O& M)), for a total annual capital O& M cost of $ 4,091,060 for 1189 facilities. Due to the minimal reporting and record keeping requirements for batch cold solvent cleaning machines, capital and operations and maintenance costs will not be incurred. EPA 1 PVFA is the present value factor.

2 ANPV is the annualized net present value.

12 developed these cost estimates through direct consultation with industries and consultants to industry affected by the requirements.

( iii) Annualizing Capital Costs The annualized stream of payments that an owner or operator of a batch vapor or in line solvent cleaning machine would have to make over a nine year period is computed as follows: PVFA1 = SUM { 1/( 1.07) t}, where t = 1 to 8 years PVFA = 6.515 ANPV2 = $ 17,000/ 6.515 ANPV = $ 2,609/ year 6( c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost Because reporting and recordkeeping requirements on the part of respondents are required under section 112 of the Act, no operational costs will be incurred by the Federal government.

Examination of records to be maintained by the respondents will occur incidentally as a part of the periodic inspection and compliance assistance outreach to sources that is part of the EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program and is not attributable to this ICR. The only costs that the Federal government will incur are costs associated with the review of reported information, as presented in Table 5. Labor rates are as follows: technical at $ 39.77 and management at $ 56.63.

6( d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs EPA estimates that the subject universe includes 3,069 vapor or in line halogenated solvent cleaning machines and 752 batch cold cleaning machines. The total number of owners or operators with batch vapor or in line solvent cleaning machines subject to the standards is estimated to be 1180 ( 2.6 cleaning machines per facility.) The total number of owners or operators with batch 13 cold cleaning machines is estimated to be 752 ( 1 cleaning machine per facility.) The universe was determined based on the submittal of initial notification reports as required in § 63.468( a). As presented in Tables 2, 3, and 4, the total burden and cost for owners and operators of vapor or in line halogenated solvent cleaning machines is 45,207 hours and $ 5,887,968.50.

6( e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Costs/ Master Tables ( i) The respondent tally. The bottom line respondent burden hours and costs, presented in Tables 2, 3, and 4, are calculated by summing the person hours column and by summing the cost column. For the batch vapor and in line cleaning machine subcategories as a whole, the annual burden and costs averaged over the first three years are 44,956.20 hours and $ 1,787,900.10 in labor costs.

( ii) The Agency tally. The bottom line Agency burden hours and costs, which are presented in Table 5, are calculated as in the respondent table. The annual number of hours averaged over the first three years is 4,636.52 at a cost of $ 182,138.61 per year.

( iii) Variations in the annual bottom line. In this ICR,

the one time burden and costs associated with the initial report for applicability determination, initial statement of compliance,

and performance tests were averaged over a 3 year period.

6( f) Reason for Change in Burden There are no changes in burden because we do not anticipate any new sources within the next three years.

6( g) Burden Statement Table 2 presents the average annual respondent burden for each owner or operator of a batch vapor or in line solvent 14 cleaning machine. Table 3 presents the average annual respondent burden for each owner or operator of a batch cold cleaning machine. Table 4 compiles the burden totals from Tables 2 and 3.

Estimate include time for preparing and submitting notices,

preparing and submitting performance test results, reporting exceedances, and monitoring and recording solvent consumption.

Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by person to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instruction; develop , acquire,

install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintain information, and disclosing and providing information'

adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; 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. 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 are listed in 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.

Send comments on the Agency's need for this information,

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Inorganic Arsenic Emissions from Glass
Manufacturing Plants (40 CFR part 61, subpart N) apply to each existing
and new glass melting furnace that uses commercial arsenic as a raw
material located at a glass manufacturing plant. These standards do not
apply to pot furnaces; in addition, these standards do not consider re-
bricking as either construction or modification for the purposes of 40
CFR 61.05(a). New facilities include those that commenced either
construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general,
all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests,
and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected
facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the
operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the
monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and
records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR part 61,
subpart N.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Glass manufacturing plants.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 61,
subpart N).
    Estimated number of respondents: 16 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 3,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $423,000 (per year), which includes $56,000
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden from the
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory
of Approved Burdens. This is due to two considerations: (1) The
regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not
anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the growth
rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no
significant change in the overall burden. Since there are no changes in
the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry
growth, there are also no changes in the capital/startup or

operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.

Questar Overthrust Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

March 12, 2009.
    Take notice that on March 5, 2009, Questar Overthrust Pipeline
Company (Overthrust), 180 East 100 South, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111,
filed an application to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA)
seeking authority to expand its interstate natural-gas transmission
system by constructing and operating two new compressor packages. One
compressor package will be located at a new Compressor Station called
Point of Rocks and the other compressor package will be installed in a
vacant bay in an existing building at the existing Rock Springs
Compressor Station. The proposed Point of Rocks station and the Rock
Springs station are both located within Sweetwater County, Wyoming, all
as more fully set forth in the application. This filing is available
for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be
viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the
``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three
digits in the docket number field to access the document. For
assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll free at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or for TTY,
contact<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Overthrust explains that the proposed new pipeline facilities,
known as the Overthrust Compression Expansion Project (Compression
Expansion), will enable it to transport an additional 300,000 Dth/d of
natural gas from receipt points at Opal, Wyoming, to the existing
interconnect with REX near Wamsutter, Wyoming. It is further explained
that Overthrust has negotiated a Transportation Service Agreement with
Encana Marketing (USA) Inc. that has subscribed for the entire 300,000
Dth/d of incremental capacity created by the project.
    Overthrust states that by letter dated October 9, 2008, in Docket
No. PF06-34-000, the Commission's Office of Energy Projects granted
Overthrust's September 26, 2008, request to utilize the Commission's
Pre-Filing Process for the planned Compression Expansion. Overthrust
has also submitted an applicant-prepared Draft Environmental Assessment
that was prepared during the Pre-Filing Process that was included with
this application.
    Any questions regarding Overthrust's proposal in this application
should be Directed to L. Bradley Burton, Manager, Federal Regulatory
Affairs, Questar Pipeline Company, 180 East 100 South, P.O. Box 45360,
Salt Lake City, Utah 84145, telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER> or e-mail:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or Tad M. Taylor, Division Counsel, Questar
Pipeline Company, 180 East 100 South, P.O. Box 45360, Salt Lake City,
Utah 84145, telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    On October 9, 2008, the Commission staff granted Overthrust's
request to utilize the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Pre-
Filing Process and assigned Docket No. PF06-34-000 to staff activities
involving the project. Now, as of the filing of this application on
March 5, 2009, the NEPA Pre-Filing Process for this project has ended.
From this time forward, this proceeding will be conducted in Docket No.
CP09-76-000, as noted in the caption of this notice.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify Federal and State agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all

Federal authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the
Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription''
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For

timely notice. Therefore, you should always check the FDA's website at

the appropriate advisory committee meeting link, or call the advisory
committee information line to learn about possible modifications before
coming to the meeting.

later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post
the background material on its website prior to the meeting, the
