SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA's Homeland Security Grant Program
(HSGP) is an important part of the Administration's larger, coordinated
effort--known as the Federal Investment Strategy--to strengthen
homeland security preparedness. The HSGP implements objectives
addressed in a series of post-9/11 laws, strategy documents, plans, and
Homeland Security Presidential Directives. FEMA management requirements
are incorporated into the Homeland Security Grant Program and reflect
changes mandated in the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 101 et
seq.), as amended by the Implementing

Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-053).
Additional statutory requirements are outlined in the `Consolidated
Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2009'
(Pub. L. 110-329).

Collection of Information

    Title: FEMA Preparedness Grants: Homeland Security Grant Program
(HSGP).
    Type of Information Collection: New information collection.
    OMB Number: 1660-NEW.
    Form Titles and Numbers: FEMA Form 089-1, HSGP Investment
Justification.
    Abstract: The HSGP is an important tool among a comprehensive set
of measures to help strengthen the Nation against risks associated with
potential terrorist attacks. DHS/FEMA uses the information to evaluate
applicants' familiarity with the national preparedness architecture and
identify how elements of this architecture have been incorporated into
regional/state/local planning, operations, and investments. The
Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) is a primary funding mechanism
for building and sustaining national preparedness capabilities. HSGP is
comprised of four separate grant programs: the State Homeland Security
Program (SHSP), the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI), the
Metropolitan Medical Response Systems (MMRS), and the Citizen Corps
Program (CCP). Together, these grants fund a range of preparedness
activities, including planning, organization, equipment purchase,
training, exercises, and management and administration costs.
    Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 308,136 hours.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-65147; File No. SR-CBOE-2011-075]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed
Rule Change To Amend Certain Registration and Qualification
Requirements

August 17, 2011.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1), notice is hereby given that on August 4,
2011, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (``CBOE'' or the
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been prepared by CBOE. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change
from interested persons.

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

    Pursuant to the provisions of Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''),\1\ the Chicago Board Options
Exchange, Incorporated (``CBOE'' or the ``Exchange'') proposes to amend
its rules regarding registration and qualification of individual
Trading Permit Holders and individual associated persons. The text of
the proposed rule change is availableon the Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.org/legal), at the Exchange's Office of the Secretary and at
the Commission's Public Reference Room.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

1. Purpose
    CBOE is proposing to amend Exchange Rule 3.6A to (i) exempt from
registration and qualification individual associated persons that are
restricted from accessing the Exchange (physically and electronically)
and that do not engage in the securities business of the Trading Permit
Holder or TPH organization related to activity that occurs at the
Exchange; and (ii) adopt

language that would eliminate the need to formally file a waiver
request for the appropriate category of registration if the individual
Trading Permit Holder or individual associated person maintains a
registration(s) in designated categories.
    Pursuant to Rule 15b7-1,\2\ promulgated under the Exchange Act,\3\
``No registered broker or dealer shall effect any transaction in * * *
any security unless any natural person associated with such broker or
dealer who effects or is involved in effecting such transaction is
registered or approved in accordance with the standards of training,
experience, competence, and other qualification standards * * *
established by the rules of any national securities exchange * * *.
CBOE Rule 3.6A sets forth the requirements for registration and
qualification of individual Trading Permit Holders and individual
associated persons. In response to a request by the Division of Trading
and Markets of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'' or ``SEC''), CBOE recently amended its rules to expand
its registration and qualification requirements set forth in CBOE Rule
3.6A to include individual Trading Permit Holders and individual
associated persons that are engaged or to be engaged in the securities
business of a Trading Permit Holder or TPH organization.\4\ CBOE Rule
3.6A provides that these individuals must be registered with the
Exchange in the category of registration appropriate to the function to
be performed as prescribed by the Exchange. Further, Rule 3.6A
requires, among other things, that an individual Trading Permit Holder
or individual associated person submit an application for registration
and pass the appropriate qualification examination before the
registration can become effective. The revised requirements apply to
both CBOE and CBOE Stock Exchange (``CBSX'') Trading Permit Holders and
their associated persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.15b7-1.
    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63314 (November 12,
2010), 75 FR 70957 (November 19, 2010) (SR-CBOE-2010-084).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CBOE Rule 3.6A(a)(2) sets forth the types of individuals that are
exempt from registration.\5\ CBOE is proposing to amend this provision
to also exempt individual associated persons that are restricted from
accessing the Exchange (physically and electronically) and that do not
engage in the securities business of the Trading Permit Holder or TPH
organization related to activity that occurs on the Exchange. CBOE
believes that these individuals do not need to be registered with the
Exchange because these individuals do not access the Exchange directly
and do not engage in the securities business of the Trading Permit
Holder relating to activity that occurs on the Exchange. For example,
Firm XYZ (``XYZ'') is a CBOE TPH organization and a member of NYSE
AMEX, LLC (``AMEX''). XYZ employs a market-maker, ABC, who is an
associated person of XYZ registered as a market-maker with the AMEX
(and subject to the registration and qualification requirements of
AMEX). ABC would not be required to separately register with CBOE if
ABC (who does not have physical or electronic access to CBOE) submits
an order for execution to Broker DEF, a registered broker-dealer and
CBOE Trading Permit Holder, who executes the order at CBOE. Broker DEF
is subject to the registration requirements of CBOE.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Even if an individual associated person is exempt from
registration with the CBOE under Rule 3.6A, Rule 17.1 provides, in
relevant part, ``A Trading Permit Holder or a person associated with
a Trading Permit Holder * * * shall be subject to the disciplinary
jurisdiction of the Exchange.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In conjunction with the registration requirements established by
SR-CBOE-2010-084, three new qualification examinations became available
on June 20, 2011 in the Central Registration Depository system
(``WebCRD''), which is operated by the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Incorporated (``FINRA''). These registration categories
include the following (the required qualification examinations and
prerequisites, as applicable, associated with each registration
category are in parentheses): PT--Proprietary Trader (Series 56), CT--
Proprietary Trader Compliance Officer (Series 14, Series 56
prerequisite) and TP--Proprietary Trader Principal (Series 24, Series
56 prerequisite). CBOE is proposing to adopt language that would
eliminate the need to formally file a waiver request for the
appropriate category of registration if the individual Trading Permit
Holder or individual associated person maintains designated
registration categories. Specifically, CBOE is proposing to permit
individuals that maintain a Series 7 to satisfy the qualification
component associated with registration as a Proprietary Trader.
Similarly, CBOE is proposing to accept the Series 24 (including any
prerequisite examinations) to satisfy the qualification component
associated with registration as a Proprietary Trader Compliance
Officer. CBOE is also proposing to allow individual Trading Permit
Holders and/or individual associated persons that maintain the Series
9/10 and the Series 23 \6\ (including any prerequisite examinations) to
satisfy the qualification component associated with registration as a
Proprietary Trader Principal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The Series 23 is designed to test a candidate's knowledge of
the rules and statutory provisions applicable to the management of a
broker-dealer. It is CBOE's understanding that FINRA permits the
Series 23 as an alternative to the Series 24 for its members who are
registered as General Securities Sales Supervisors and who are
seeking to register and qualify as General Securities Principals.
The Series 23 examination covers material from the Series 24
examination not otherwise covered under the Series 9/10 examination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CBOE is proposing to limit the time period for which an automatic
waiver of the Series 56 would be granted for those individuals that
maintain a Series 7 registration. Any individual seeking an automatic
waiver of the Series 56 because they maintain a Series 7 registration
must complete all registration requirements in WebCRD for the
Proprietary Trader designation no later than December 31, 2011. In
addition, CBOE is proposing that because the Series 23 is not available
in WebCRD, each applicant must provide documentation of a valid Series
23 license to the Registration Services Department upon request for the
Series 24 registration in WebCRD.
2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the
Act,\7\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(1) \8\
of the Act in particular, in that it is designed to enforce compliance
by Exchange members and persons associated with its members with the
rules of the Exchange. The Exchange also believes the proposed rule
change furthers the objectives of Section 6(c)(3) \9\ of the Act, which
authorizes CBOE to prescribe standards of training, experience and
competence for persons associated with CBOE Trading Permit Holders, in
that this filing proposes to amend and clarify the registration and
qualification requirements set forth in Exchange Rule 3.6A. CBOE
believes the proposed changes are reasonable and set forth the
appropriate qualifications for an individual Trading Permit Holder and
individual associated person that is required to register under
Exchange Rule 3.6A, including, but not limited to, Market-Makers,
proprietary traders and individuals effecting transactions on behalf of
other broker-dealers.

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

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

    CBOE does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of purposes of the Act.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days after the date of the filing, or such
shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective
pursuant to 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \11\
thereunder.

requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule. Since the Coast Guard received notice of
this event on May 20, 2019, notice and comment procedures would be
impracticable in this instance.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. For similar reasons as stated
above, notice and comment procedures would be impractical in this
instance due to the short notice provided for this event.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The Captain of the Port San
Francisco (COTP) has determined that potential hazards associated with
the Belvedere Island Birthday Fireworks on June 1, 2019, will be a
safety concern for anyone within a 100-foot radius of the fireworks
barge during loading, staging, and transit, and anyone within a 420-
foot radius of the fireworks barge starting 30 minutes before the
fireworks display is scheduled to commence and ending 30 minutes after
the conclusion of the fireworks display. For this reason, a safety zone
is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in
the navigable waters around the fireworks barge during the fireworks
display.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone from noon until 10:25 p.m. on
June 1, 2019, during the loading, staging, and transit of the fireworks
barge, until approximately 30 minutes after completion of the fireworks
display. From noon to 9:15 p.m. on June 1, 2019, during the loading,
staging, and transit of the fireworks barge until 30 minutes prior to
the start of the fireworks display, the safety zone will encompass the
navigable waters around and under

the fireworks barge, from surface to bottom, within a circle formed by
connecting all points 100 feet out from the fireworks barge. Loading
the pyrotechnics onto the fireworks barge is scheduled from noon to 4
p.m. on June 1, 2019, at Pier 50 in San Francisco, CA. From 4 p.m. to
8:15 p.m. on June 1, 2019, the barge will remain at Pier 50. From 8:15
p.m. to 9:25 p.m. on June 1, 2019, the fireworks barge will be towed
from Pier 50 to the display location, where it will remain until the
conclusion of the fireworks display.
    At 9:15 p.m. on June 1, 2019, 30 minutes prior to the commencement
of the 10-minute Belvedere Island Birthday Fireworks, the safety zone
will increase in size and encompass the navigable waters around and
under the fireworks barge, from surface to bottom, within a circle
formed by connecting all points 420 feet from the circle center at
approximate position 37[deg]52'08'' N, 122[deg]28'18'' W (NAD 83). The
safety zone will terminate at 10:25 p.m. on June 1, 2019.
    The effect of the safety zone is to restrict navigation in the
vicinity of the fireworks loading, staging, transit, and firing site.
Except for persons or vessels authorized by the COTP or the COTP's
designated representative, no person or vessel may enter or remain in
the restricted areas. These regulations are needed to keep spectators
and vessels away from the immediate vicinity of the fireworks firing
sites to ensure the safety of participants, spectators, and transiting
vessels.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This rule has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the limited
duration and narrowly tailored geographic area of the safety zone.
Although this rule restricts access to the waters encompassed by the
safety zone, the effect of this rule will not be significant because
the local waterway users will be notified via public Notice to Mariners
to ensure the safety zone will result in minimum impact. The entities
most likely to be affected are waterfront facilities, commercial
vessels, and pleasure craft engaged in recreational activities.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    This rule may affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: owners and operators of waterfront facilities,
commercial vessels, and pleasure craft engaged in recreational
activities and sightseeing, if these facilities or vessels are in the
vicinity of the safety zone at times when this zone is being enforced.
This rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities for the following reasons: (i) This rule will
encompass only a small portion of the waterway for a limited period of
time, and (ii) the maritime public will be advised in advance of these
safety zones via Notice to Mariners.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section above.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01 and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series),

which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have
determined that this action is one of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves a safety zone of limited size and
duration. It is categorically excluded from further review under
paragraph L60(a) in Table 3-1 of U.S. Coast Guard Environmental
Planning Implementing Procedures 5090.1. A Record of Environmental
Consideration supporting this determination is available in the docket
where indicated under ADDRESSES.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

Determination of Nonattainment and Reclassification of the
Houston-Galveston-Brazoria 2008 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area; Texas;
Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: EPA issued a final rule on December 14, 2016, (81 FR 90207),
that determined that the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria, Texas
nonattainment area (HGB area) failed to attain the 2008 8-hour ozone
national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) by the applicable
attainment deadline of July 20, 2016, and thus was classified by
operation of law as ``Moderate''. In that action, EPA also determined
January 1, 2017 as the deadline by which Texas must submit to the EPA
the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions that meet the Clean Air
Act (CAA) statutory and regulatory requirements that apply to 2008
ozone NAAQS nonattainment areas reclassified as Moderate. The language
in the December 14, 2016 Federal Register amended the table in 40 CFR
81.344 (Subpart C-Section 107 Attainment Status Designations) titled
``Texas--2008 8-Hour Ozone NAAQS (Primary and secondary)''. The
amendatory language failed to update the table for the classification
date for HGB nonattainment area to 12/14/2016. This document corrects
the listed classification date in the December 14, 2016 final rule
document.

DATES: This final rule correction is effective on January 11, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Nevine Salem,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued a final rule on December 14,
2016, (81 FR 90207) (EPA-R06-OAR-2016-0275; FRL-9956-08-Region 6), that
reclassified the HGB nonattainment area from Marginal to Moderate for
the 2008 8-hour Ozone NAAQS standards. In that document, EPA
incorrectly listed the classification date for the HGB ozone
nonattainment area in Sec.  81.344, the table titled ``Texas--2008 8-
Hour Ozone NAAQS (Primary and secondary)'' to be 1/13/17. Instead the
document should have the classification date in the table as 12/14/
2016. This document corrects that mistake.

[Docket Nos. CP19-509-001; CP19-509-000]

Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on December 19, 2019, Texas Eastern Transmission,
LP (Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 77056, filed,
pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of
the Commission's regulations, an amendment to its application in Docket
No. CP19-509-000 which requested authorization to construct and operate
the Marshall County Mine Panels 19E Project located in Marshall County,
West Virginia.
    Texas Eastern is proposing to excavate, elevate, and replace
certain small segments of four different pipelines (Lines 10, 15, 25,
and 30) and appurtenances in order to maintain operation of its
facilities for the duration of longwall mining activities planned by
Marshall Coal in the area beneath Texas Eastern's pipelines. The
amendment to its application requests to (1) include construction
activities related to segments of its four pipelines that traverse the
Marshall County Coal Company's Mine Panels 19E and 20E; (2) modify the
timing for completion of Project activities from October 2021 to
October 2022; and (3) request a Commission order by April 30, 2020. The
construction activities proposed in the amendment replace in their
entirety the construction activities proposed in the application. The
total length of pipeline segments to be excavated increased to 4.39
miles from 2.26 miles. The estimated cost of the project increased to
approximately $77 million from approximately $38 million, all as more
fully described in its application which is on file with the Commission
and open to public inspection.
    The filing is available for review at the Commission in the Public
Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's website web 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 TYY,
(202) 502-8659.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to Lisa
A. Connolly, Director, Rates and Certificates, Texas Eastern
Transmission, LP, P.O. Box 1642 Houston, Texas 77251-1642, by telephone
at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by email<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 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 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 3 copies of filings made in the proceeding with the Commission
and must provide 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 commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list and will be
notified of any meetings associated with the Commission's environmental
review process. Environmental commenters will not be required to serve
copies of filed documents on all other parties. However, the non-party
commenters will not receive copies of all documents filed by other
parties or issued by the Commission and will not have the right to seek
court review of the Commission's final order.
    As of the February 27, 2018 date of the Commission's order in
Docket No. CP16-4-001, the Commission will apply its revised practice
concerning out-of-time motions to intervene in any new Natural Gas Act
section 3 or section 7 proceeding.\1\ Persons desiring to

become a party to a certificate proceeding are to intervene in a timely
manner. If seeking to intervene out-of-time, the movant is required to
``show good cause why the time limitation should be waived,'' and
should provide justification by reference to factors set forth in Rule
214(d)(1) of the Commission's Rules and Regulations.\2\
