DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP15-520-000]

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C; Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review of the Triad Expansion Project

    On June 19, 2015, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C.
(Tennessee) filed an application in Docket No. CP15-520-000 requesting
authorization pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act to
construct and operate certain natural gas pipeline facilities. The
proposed project is known as the Triad Expansion Project (Project), and
would deliver an additional 180,000 dekatherms per day of natural gas
to meet the needs of a new natural gas-fired power plant to be
constructed in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania.
    On July 6, 2015, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission or FERC) issued its Notice of Application for the Project.
Among other things, that notice alerted agencies issuing federal
authorizations of the requirement to complete all necessary reviews and
to reach a final decision on a request for a federal authorization
within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Project. This instant notice
identifies the FERC staff's planned schedule for the completion of the
EA for the Project.

Schedule for Environmental Review

Issuance of EA April 6, 2016

90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline July 5, 2016

    If a schedule change becomes necessary, additional notice will be
provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the
Project's progress.

Project Description

    Tennessee would construct about 7.0 miles of new 36-inch-diameter
looping \1\ pipeline adjacent to its existing 300 Line system in
Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania; a new internal pipeline inspection
(pig) \2\ launcher, crossover, and connecting facilities at the
beginning of the proposed pipeline loop; and a new pig receiver, a new
odorant facility, and ancillary piping at the existing Compressor
Station 321 in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A pipeline loop is a segment of pipe constructed parallel to
an existing pipeline to increase capacity.
    \2\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background

    On August 5, 2015, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent to
Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Triad Expansion
Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues (NOI). The NOI
was sent to affected landowners; federal, state, and local government
agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups;
Native American tribes; other interested parties; and local libraries
and newspapers. In response to the NOI, the Commission received
comments from the United States Army Corps of Engineers; Pennsylvania
Department of Conservation and Natural Resources; the Stockbridge-
Munsee Tribal Historic Preservation Office; the Allegheny Defense
Project; and one individual. The primary issues raised during scoping
relate to impacts on soils, wetlands, waterbodies, vegetation, and
wildlife; recreation and impacts on cultural resources; reliability and
safety concerns; and review of project alternatives.

Additional Information

    In order to receive notification of the issuance of the EA and to
keep track of all formal issuances and submittals in specific dockets,

TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc.: Grant of Expansion of
Recognition

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In this notice, OSHA announces its final decision to expand
the scope of recognition for TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc., as a
Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).

DATES: The expansion of the scope of recognition becomes effective on
May 6, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Information regarding this notice is
available from the following sources:
    Press inquiries: Contact Mr. Frank Meilinger, Director, OSHA Office
of Communications, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue

(202) 693-2110; email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>OSHA's Web page includes
information about the NRTL Program (see http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of Final Decision

    OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of
recognition of TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc. (TUVRNA), as an
NRTL. TUVRNA's expansion covers the addition of one test standard to
its scope of recognition.
    OSHA recognition of an NRTL signifies that the organization meets
the requirements specified by 29 CFR 1910.7. Recognition is an
acknowledgment that the organization can perform independent safety
testing and certification of the specific products covered within its
scope of recognition and is not a delegation or grant of government
authority. As a result of recognition, employers may use products
properly approved by the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that require
testing and certification of the products.
    The Agency processes applications by an NRTL for initial
recognition, or for expansion or renewal of this recognition, following
requirements in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This appendix requires
that the Agency publish two notices in the Federal Register in
processing an application. In the first notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides its preliminary finding and, in the second
notice, the Agency provides its final decision on the application.
These notices set forth the NRTL's scope of recognition or
modifications of that scope. OSHA maintains an informational Web page
for each NRTL that details its scope of recognition. These pages are
available from the Agency's Web site at http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html.
    TUVRNA submitted an application dated August 26, 2014 (OSHA-2007-
0042, Exhibit 14-1--TUVRNA Request for Expansion), to expand its
recognition to include one additional test standard. OSHA staff
performed a comparability analysis and reviewed other pertinent
information. OSHA did not perform any on-site reviews in relation to
this application.
    OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing TUVRNA's expansion
application in the Federal Register on January 30, 2015 (80 FR 5140).
The Agency requested comments by February 17, 2015, but it received no
comments in response to this notice. OSHA now is proceeding with this
final notice to grant expansion of TUVRNA's scope of recognition.
    To obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to
TUVRNA's application, go to www.regulations.gov or contact the Docket
Office, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., Room N-2625, Washington, DC
20210. Docket No. OSHA-2007-0042 contains all materials in the record
concerning TUVRNA's recognition.

II. Final Decision and Order

    OSHA staff examined TUVRNA's expansion application, its capability
to meet the requirements of the test standards, and other pertinent
information. Based on its review of this evidence, OSHA finds that
TUVRNA meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its
recognition, subject to the limitation and conditions listed below.
OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with this final notice to grant TUVRNA's
scope of recognition. OSHA limits the expansion of TUVRNA's recognition
to testing and certification of products for demonstration of
conformance to the test standard listed in Table 1 below.

  Table 1--List of Appropriate Test Standard for Inclusion in TUVRNA's
                        NRTL Scope of Recognition
------------------------------------------------------------------------
           Test standard                     Test standard title
------------------------------------------------------------------------
AAMI ES60601-1: 2005/(R) 2012.....  Medical electrical equipment--Part
                                     1: General requirements for basic
                                     safety and essential performance.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OSHA's recognition of any NRTL for a particular test standard is
limited to equipment or materials for which OSHA standards require
third-party testing and certification before using them in the
workplace. Consequently, if a test standard also covers any products
for which OSHA does not require such testing and certification, an
NRTL's

scope of recognition does not include these products.
    The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) may approve the
test standards listed above as American National Standards. However,
for convenience, we may use the designation of the standards-developing
organization for the standard as opposed to the ANSI designation. Under
the NRTL Program's policy (see OSHA Instruction CPL 1-0.3, Appendix C,
paragraph XIV), any NRTL recognized for a particular test standard may
use either the proprietary version of the test standard or the ANSI
version of that standard. Contact ANSI to determine whether a test
standard is currently ANSI-approved.

A. Conditions

    In addition to those conditions already required by 29 CFR 1910.7,
TUVRNA must abide by the following conditions of the recognition:
    1. TUVRNA must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any
change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major
change in its operations as an NRTL, and provide details of the
change(s);
    2. TUVRNA must meet all the terms of its recognition and comply
with all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
    3. TUVRNA must continue to meet the requirements for recognition,
including all previously published conditions on TUVRNA's scope of
recognition, in all areas for which it has recognition.
    Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the
scope of recognition of TUVRNA, subject to the limitation and
conditions specified above.
