DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP12-6-000]

El Paso Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on October 11, 2011, El Paso Natural Gas Company
(El Paso), P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80904, filed in
the above referenced docket an application pursuant to section 7(c) of
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's regulations,
requesting authorization to modify, construct, own and operate certain
compressor and lateral facilities and existing delivery meter stations,
in Cochise County, Arizona, all as more fully set forth in the
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection. The project, referred to as the ``Willcox Lateral 2013
Expansion Project,'' will reconfigure El Paso's Willcox Compressor
Station from mainline service to lateral service by completing certain
piping and facility modifications to the station. Concurrent with this
filing, El Paso filed an application under section 3 of the NGA in
Docket No. CP12-7-000, requesting amendment and reissuance of its
existing Presidential Permits to increase the export capacity at three
separate border crossing facilities in Cochise County, Arizona. The
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, contact FERC at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call toll-free,<PHONE_NUMBER> or TTY,
(202) 502-8659.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to Susan
C. Stires, Director, Regulatory Affairs Department, El Paso Natural Gas
Company, P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80904, by telephone
at<PHONE_NUMBER>, by facsimile at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by email at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or Craig V. Richardson, Vice President
& General Counsel, El Paso Natural Gas Company, P.O. Box 1087, Colorado
Springs, Colorado 80904, by telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER>, by facsimile
at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    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 in the proceeding with the Commission
and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party. 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.
    Motions to intervene, protests and comments may be filed
electronically via the internet in lieu of paper; see, 18 CFR
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site
under the ``e-Filing'' link. The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings.
    Comment Date: November 10, 2011.

    Dated: October 20, 2011.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2013-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1319]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical
data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have
been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through
issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Title
44, Part 65 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR

Part 65). The LOMR will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings. For rating purposes, the currently
effective community number is shown in the table below and must be used
for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will become effective on the
dates listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS
report in effect prior to this determination for the listed
communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has ninety (90)
days in which to request through the community that the Deputy
Associate Administrator for Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
flood hazard determination information may be changed during the 90-day
period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or
(email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR Part 65.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
    These flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

How can I access the docket and/or submit comments?

    EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OW-2011-0465 which is available for online viewing at http://www.regulations.gov, or in person viewing at the Docket in the EPA
Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave.,
NW., Washington, DC. The EPA/DC Public Reading Room is open from 8 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The
telephone number for the Reading Room is<PHONE_NUMBER>, and the
telephone number for the Water Docket is<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Use http://www.regulations.gov to obtain a copy of the draft
collection of information, submit or view public comments, access the
index listing of the contents of the docket, and to access those
documents in the public docket that are available electronically. Once
in the system, select ``search,'' then key in the docket ID number
identified in this document.

What information is EPA particularly interested in?

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA specifically
solicits comments and information to enable it to:
    (i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden
of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and
    (iv) minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

What should I consider when I prepare my comments for EPA?

    You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
    1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific
examples.
    2. Describe any assumptions that you used.
    3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used
that support your views.
    4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you
arrived at the estimate that you provide.
    5. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity.
    6. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
    7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket
ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page
of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal
Register citation.

What information collection activity or ICR does this apply to?

    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
all States and certain authorized Indian Tribes that adopt water
quality standards under the Clean Water Act; and water dischargers
subject to certain requirements related to water quality standards in
the Great Lakes system, including dischargers in the following SIC
categories: Mining (SIC codes 10, 14); Food (20); Pulp and Paper (26);
Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing (281); Organic Chemical Manufacturing
(28); Petroleum Refining (29); Metal Manufacturing (33), Metal
Finishing (34-37); Steam Electric (4911), and Publically Owned
Treatment Works (4952). For the purposes of the Regulation, the term
``State'' means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Guam, the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and
the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
    Title: Water Quality Standards Regulation (Renewal).
    ICR Number: EPA ICR No. 988.11, OMB Control No. 2040-0049.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on December
31, 2011. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in title 40

of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are
listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by publication in the
Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related
collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB
control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR
part 9.
    Abstract: Water quality standards are provisions of State, Tribal,
and Federal law that consist of designated uses for waters of the
United States, water quality criteria to protect the designated uses,
and an antidegradation policy. Section 303(c) of the Clean Water Act
requires States and authorized Tribes to establish water quality
standards, and to review and, if appropriate, revise their water
quality standards once every three years. The Act also requires EPA to
review and either approve or disapprove the new or revised standards,
and to promulgate replacement Federal standards if necessary. Section
118(c)(2) of the Act specifies additional water quality standards
requirements for waters of the Great Lakes system.
    The Water Quality Standards Regulation (40 CFR part 131 and
portions of part 132) governs national implementation of the water
quality standards program. The Regulation describes requirements and
procedures for States and authorized Tribes to develop, review, and
revise their water quality standards, and EPA procedures for reviewing
and approving the water quality standards. The regulation requires the
development and submission of information to EPA, including:
--The minimum elements in water quality standards that each State or
Tribe must submit to EPA for review, including any new or revised water
quality standards resulting from the jurisdiction's triennial review
(40 CFR 131.6 and 131.20). The elements include use designations for
specific water bodies; methods used and analyses conducted to support
water quality standards revisions; supporting analysis for use
attainability analyses; water quality criteria sufficient to protect
the designated uses; methodologies for site-specific criteria
development; an antidegradation policy; certification by the
jurisdiction's Attorney General or other appropriate legal authority
that the water quality standards were duly adopted pursuant to State or
Tribal law; information that will aid EPA in determining the adequacy
of the scientific basis for the standards; and information on general
policies that may affect the implementation of the standards.
--Information that an Indian Tribe must submit to EPA in order to
determine whether a Tribe is qualified to administer the water quality
standards program (40 CFR 131.8).
--Information a State or Tribe must submit if it chooses to exercise a
dispute resolution mechanism for disputes between States and Tribes
over water quality standards on common water bodies (40 CFR 131.7).
--Information related to public participation requirements during State
and Tribal review and revision of water quality standards (40 CFR
131.20). States and Tribes must hold public hearings as part of their
triennial reviews, and make any proposed standards and supporting
analyses available to the public before the hearing.

    The Regulation establishes specific additional requirements for
water quality standards and their implementation in the waters of the
Great Lakes system, contained in the Water Quality Guidance for the
Great Lakes System (40 CFR part 132). This portion of the Regulation
includes the following requirements for information collection:
bioassay tests to support the development of water quality criteria;
studies to identify and provide information on antidegradation control
measures that will guard against the reduction of water quality in the
Great Lakes system; and information collection and record keeping
activities associated with analyses and reporting to request regulatory
relief from Guidance requirements. The Guidance includes additional
information collections that are addressed in separate Information
Collection Requests for the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System program.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1060
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    The following estimates are based on estimates from the previous
ICR renewal and will be revised prior to OMB submission. The public
will have a second opportunity to comment before then. The ICR provides
a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate, which is only briefly
summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: \1\ 2,809 (56
States and Territories, 43 Tribes; 2,710 Great Lakes dischargers).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Note: EPA estimates that of the estimated total number of
potential respondents there will likely be only 264 responses.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
0.095.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 293,214 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $14,866,862 with no annualized capital
or O&M cost.

Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

    This FR Notice shows the burden estimate from the ICR renewal in
2008. EPA will be revising the burden estimate to include adjustments
for changes in the number of tribes authorized to administer a water
quality standards program, adjustments for the number of permits
expected to be subject to requirements of the Water Quality Guidance
for the Great Lakes System (40 CFR part 132), and adjustments for
changes in labor cost. EPA is not aware of any programmatic changes
needed to the burden estimate. These revisions will be reported in the
second FR Notice. Changes from 2008 are not expected to be large. If
you know of significant changes to the burden that are not listed in
this notice, EPA asks you to submit comments containing that
information, or contact the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT.

What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will
issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to

OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you
have any questions about this ICR or the approval process, please
contact the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT.

    Dated: June 23, 2011.

Director, Office of Science and Technology.
