[Docket No. CP17-470-000]

Freeport LNG Development, L.P. & FLNG Liquefaction 4, LLC; Notice
of Request for Extension of Time

    Take notice that on May 16, 2022, Freeport LNG Development, L.P.
(Freeport LNG) and FLNG Liquefaction 4, LLC (FLIQ4), (together FLNG),
requested that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission)
grant an extension of time, until August 1, 2028, to site, construct
and operate a fourth natural gas liquefaction train and pretreatment
unit, as well as interconnecting pipelines and utility lines (Train 4
Project or Project) to support additional liquefaction and export
operations at Freeport LNG's existing Quintana Island termina,) and
make the Project available for service, as authorized in the May 19,
2019 Order Issuing Certificate (Train 4 Order).\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Freeport LNG Development, L.P. & FLNG Liquefaction 4, LLC,
167 FERC ] 61,155 (2019) (Train 4 Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On September 10, 2020, the Commission granted FLNG an extension of
time until May 17, 2026, to complete construction of the Train 4
Project and make it available for service. Freeport LNG has completed
construction of, and placed in-service, liquefaction Trains 1-3 and
associated facilities at the Quintana Island terminal and at the
pretreatment facility site. However, construction of the Train 4
Project has not yet commenced, due in large part to delays stemming
from the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time the original extension of time
was granted, it was not expected that the pandemic would persist for as
long as it has, or that the resulting effects on global markets,
including global LNG markets, the global supply-chain and the financing
of large-scale infrastructure, would be so significant. In this regard,
the COVID-19 pandemic made it extremely difficult to secure long-term
LNG commercial commitments given the far-reaching economic effects of
the pandemic, and the uncertainty of future demand.
    While FLNG originally projected a 42-month construction schedule
for the Train 4 Project, experience gained through the construction of
liquefaction Trains 1-3 and the EPC contract bid process for Train 4
suggests that the construction schedule for the Train 4 Project may be
closer to 48 to 56 months. Furthermore, potentially longer construction
schedules are possible as a

result of supply-chain disruptions due to COVID, the Ukraine invasion,
and other global supply/demand imbalances. However, given the
anticipated minimum 48-56 month period required to construct the Train
4 Project, it is not possible for FLNG to meet the current May 17, 2026
in-service date deadline. The inability to meet this schedule is
impeding FLNG's efforts to finalize commercialization of the Train 4
Project and structure the complex financing associated with reaching a
final investment decision, notwithstanding the significant upward trend
in natural gas markets and U.S. LNG demand. Certainty regarding FLNG's
ability to complete Project construction by the in-service deadline is
essential to completing commercialization of the Project, which is why
FLNG is filing for an extension now while time still remains on its
current authorization. The upfront, long-term commercial commitments
required to be made by LNG off-takers, and the unique nature of
financing LNG projects, necessitates such certainty.
    FLNG requests that the Commission grant an approximately 26-month
extension of time so that FLNG may construct and place the Train 4
Project in service by no later than August 1, 2028. This timing, and
the commencement of service under FLIQ4's anticipated 20-year off-take
agreements in this time frame, is consistent with FLIQ4 and its
affiliate's current export authorization from the Department of Energy
for exports to non-free trade agreement nations, which extends through
December 31, 2050.\2\

    This notice establishes a 15-calendar day intervention and comment
period deadline. Any person wishing to comment on FLNG's request for an
extension of time may do so. No reply comments or answers will be
considered. If you wish to obtain legal status by becoming a party to
the proceedings for this request, you should, on or before the comment
date stated below, file 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 Natural Gas Act
(18 CFR 157.10).
    As a matter of practice, the Commission itself generally acts on
requests for extensions of time to complete construction for Natural
Gas Act facilities when such requests are contested before order
issuance. For those extension requests that are contested,\3\ the
Commission will aim to issue an order acting on the request within 45
days.\4\ The Commission will address all arguments relating to whether
the applicant has demonstrated there is good cause to grant the
extension.\5\ The Commission will not consider arguments that re-
litigate the issuance of the certificate order, including whether the
Commission properly found the project to be in the public convenience
and necessity and whether the Commission's environmental analysis for
the certificate complied with the National Environmental Policy Act.\6\
At the time a pipeline requests an extension of time, orders on
certificates of public convenience and necessity are final and the
Commission will not re-litigate their issuance.\7\ The OEP Director, or
his or her designee, will act on all of those extension requests that
are uncontested.

Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2017-16-08, which applies to certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190-100
STD, -100 LR, -100 IGW, and -100 ECJ airplanes; and Model ERJ 190-200
STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW airplanes. AD 2017-16-08 requires revising
the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to
incorporate more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA
issued AD 2017-16-08, the FAA determined that new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would require
revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable,
to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. This
proposed AD would also add airplanes to the applicability. The FAA is
proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 19,
2019.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    The FAA issued AD 2017-16-08, Amendment 39-18985 (82 FR 42021,
September 6, 2017) (``AD 2017-16-08''), for certain Embraer S.A. Model
ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 ECJ and -100 IGW airplanes and Model ERJ
190-200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW airplanes. AD 2017-16-08 requires
revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable,
to incorporate more restrictive airworthiness limitations. AD 2017-16-
08 resulted from a determination that more restrictive airworthiness
limitations are necessary. The FAA issued AD 2017-16-08 to address
fatigue cracking of structural components and to address failure of
certain system components; these conditions could result in reduced
structural integrity and system reliability of the airplane.

Actions Since AD 2017-16-08 Was Issued

    The Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil (ANAC),
which is the aviation authority for Brazil, has issued Brazilian AD
2019-05-02, effective May 2, 2019 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190-100
STD, -100 LR, -100 ECJ, and -100 IGW airplanes; and Model ERJ 190-200
STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW airplanes. The MCAI states:

    This [Brazilian] AD was prompted by a new revision to the
airworthiness limitations of the Maintenance Review Board Report.
This [Brazilian] AD is being issued to ensure that fatigue cracking
of principal structural elements is detected and corrected. Such
fatigue cracking could adversely affect the structural integrity of
these airplanes.

    The required action is revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate the airworthiness
limitations in Appendix A--Airworthiness Limitations to the EMBRAER
190/195 Maintenance Review Board Report, MRB-1928, Revision 12, dated
September 27, 2018; and Appendix A--Airworthiness Limitation to the
EMBRAER Lineage 1000/1000E Maintenance Planning Guide, MPG-2928,
Revision 8, dated October 10, 2018; as applicable. The service
information is divided into four parts: Part 1--Certification
Maintenance Requirements (CMR), Part 2--Airworthiness Limitation
Inspections (ALI)--Structures, Part 3--Fuel System Limitation Items
(FSL), and Part 4--Life Limited Items (LLI).
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at http:/
/

www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2019-
0519.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Embraer has issued Part 1--Certification Maintenance Requirements
(CMR); Part 2--Airworthiness Limitation Inspections (ALI)--Structures;
Part 3--Fuel System Limitation Items (FSL); and Part 4--Life Limited
Items (LLI); of Appendix A--Airworthiness Limitations; to the EMBRAER
190/195 Maintenance Review Board Report, MRB-1928, Revision 12, dated
September 27, 2018.
    Embraer has also issued Part 1--Certification Maintenance
Requirements (CMR); Part 2--Airworthiness Limitation Inspections
(ALI)--Structures; Part 3--Fuel System Limitation Items (FSL); and Part
4--Life Limited Items (LLI); of Appendix A--Airworthiness Limitations;
to the EMBRAER Lineage 1000/1000E Maintenance Planning Guide, MPG-2928,
Revision 8, dated October 10, 2018.
    This service information describes airworthiness limitations for
fuel tank systems, safe life limits, and certification maintenance
requirements. These documents are distinct since they apply to
different airplane models.
    This proposed AD would also require Appendix A--Airworthiness
Limitations (AL), of the EMBRAER ERJ 190/195 Maintenance Review Board
Report, MRB-1928, Revision 9, dated August 14, 2015; Appendix A--
Airworthiness Limitations (AL), of the EMBRAER Lineage 1000/1000E
Maintenance Planning Guide, MPG-2928, Revision 4, dated July 14, 2014;
EMBRAER MPG--Temporary Revision 4-2, dated February 13, 2015; EMBRAER
MPG--Temporary Revision 4-3, dated October 30, 2015; EMBRAER MRB--
Temporary Revision 9-1, dated October 27, 2015; and EMBRAER MRB--
Temporary Revision 9-3, dated October 27, 2015; which the Director of
the Federal Register approved for incorporation by reference as of
October 11, 2017 (82 FR 42021, September 6, 2017).
    This service information 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 a bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, the FAA
has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and
service information referenced above. The FAA is proposing this AD
because the agency evaluated all the relevant information and
determined the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist
or develop on other products of the same type design.

Proposed Requirements of This NPRM

    This proposed AD would retain all of the requirements of AD 2017-
16-08. This proposed AD would require revising the existing maintenance
or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations. This proposed AD would also add
airplanes having serial numbers 19000697 through 19000758 inclusive to
the applicability.
    This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections) and
Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCLs). Compliance
with these actions and CDCCLs is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For
airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in
the areas addressed by this proposed AD, the operator may not be able
to accomplish the actions described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request
approval for an alternative method of compliance according to paragraph
(k)(1) of this proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 107 airplanes of
U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:
    The actions that are required by AD 2017-16-08 and retained in this
NPRM take about 1 work-hour per product, at an average labor rate of
$85 per work hour. Required parts cost about $0 per product. Based on
these figures, the estimated cost of the actions that were required by
AD 2017-16-08 is $85 per product.
    The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator,
although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator
to operator. In the past, the FAA has estimated that this action takes
1 work-hour per airplane. Since operators incorporate maintenance or
inspection program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has
determined that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-
airplane estimate. Therefore, the FAA estimates the total cost per
operator to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

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.
    This proposed AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated
by the Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as
authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order,
issuance of ADs is normally a function of the Compliance and
Airworthiness Division, but during this transition period, the
Executive Director has delegated the authority to issue ADs applicable
to transport category airplanes and associated appliances to the
Director of the System Oversight Division.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13   [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2017-16-08, Amendment 39-18985 (82 FR 42021, September 6, 2017), and
adding the following new AD:

Embraer S.A: Docket No. FAA-2019-0519; Product Identifier 2019-NM-
089-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments by August 19, 2019.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2017-16-08, Amendment 39-18985 (82 FR 42021,
September 6, 2017) (``AD 2017-16-08'').

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR,
-100 ECJ, and -100 IGW airplanes; and Model ERJ 190-200 STD, -200
LR, and -200 IGW airplanes; certificated in any category; serial
numbers 19000002, 19000004, 19000006 through 19000213 inclusive,
19000215 through 19000276 inclusive, 19000278 through 19000466
inclusive, 19000468 through 19000525 inclusive, and 19000527 through

Coast Guard

[Docket No. USCG-2010-1066]

Recreational Boating Safety Projects, Programs, and Activities
Funded Under Provisions of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation
Act; Fiscal Year 2021

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is publishing this notice to satisfy a
requirement of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act that
requires a detailed accounting of the projects, programs, and
activities funded under the national recreational boating safety
program provision of the Act be published annually in the Federal
Register. This notice specifies the funding amounts the Coast Guard has
committed, obligated, or expended during fiscal year 2021, as of
September 30, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions on this notice please
contact Mr. Jeff Decker, U.S. Coast Guard, Regulations Development
Manager,<PHONE_NUMBER> or mail to: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Purpose

    Since 1998, Congress has passed a series of laws providing funding
for projects, programs, and activities funded under the national
recreational boating safety program, which is administered by the U.S.
Coast Guard. For a detailed description of the legislative history,
please see the Recreational Boating Safety Projects, Programs, and
Activities Funded Under Provisions of the Fixing America's Surface
Transportation Act; Fiscal Year 2020 Notice published in the Federal
Register on November 23, 2020 (85 FR 74741).
    These funds are available to the Secretary from the Sport Fish
Restoration and Boating Trust Fund (Trust Fund) established under 26
U.S.C. 9504(a) for payment of Coast Guard expenses for personnel and
activities directly related to coordinating and carrying out the
national recreational boating safety program. Amounts made available
under this subsection remain available during the two succeeding fiscal
years. Any amount that is unexpended or unobligated at the end of the
three-year period during which it is available shall be withdrawn by
the Secretary and allocated to the States in addition to any other
amounts available for allocation in the fiscal year in which they are
withdrawn or the following fiscal year.
    Use of these funds requires compliance with standard Federal
contracting rules with associated lead and processing times resulting
in a lag time between available funds and spending. The total amount of
funding transferred to the Coast Guard from the Trust Fund, and
committed, obligated, and/or expended during fiscal year 2021 for each
project is shown below.

Specific Accounting of Funds

    The total amount of funding transferred to the Coast Guard from the
Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund and committed, obligated,
and/or expended during fiscal year 2021 for each project is shown in
the chart below.
