[Docket No. CP16-474-000]

High Point Gas Transmission, LLC; Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review of the Venice to Toca Pipeline Abandonment Project

    On July 1, 2016, High Point Gas Transmission, LLC (High Point)
filed an application in Docket No. CP16-474-000 requesting a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity pursuant to section
7(b) of the Natural Gas Act to abandon certain natural gas pipeline
facilities. The proposed project is known as the Venice to Toca
Pipeline Abandonment Project (Project). High Point proposes to abandon
by sale to Cayenne Pipeline, LLC about 61.3 miles of pipeline
facilities in Plaquemines and St. Bernard Parishes, Louisiana.
    On July 14, 2016, 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: February 3, 2017
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline: May 4, 2017

    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

    High Point would abandon by sale nine segments (totaling 61.3
miles) of 12- to 22-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline on its Venice to
Toca Transmission Pipeline. To continue use of the remainder of High
Point's system and isolate it from the abandoned pipeline that Cayenne
Pipeline, LLC plans to use for natural gas liquids, High Point would
cut and cap the pipeline at nine locations and remove one meter. All of
the abandonment activities, except for disconnecting cross-over and
tie-in piping at the Venice, Toca, and Venice Gas Processing Plants and
the use of three existing access roads, would occur within High Point's
existing permanent right-of-way. Most of the work would take place on
existing platforms. The abandonment would also include modifications of
15 associated aboveground valves to isolate the line to be abandoned
from the rest of High Point's pipeline system.

[EPA-R07-OAR-2014-0365; FRL-9949-82-Region 7]

Approval of Iowa's Air Quality Implementation Plans; Regional
Haze State Implementation Plan Revision and 2013 Five-Year Progress
Report

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final
action to approve the Iowa State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision
submitted to EPA by the State of Iowa on July 19, 2013, documenting
that the State's existing plan is making adequate progress to achieve
visibility goals by 2018. The Iowa SIP revision addressed the Regional
Haze Rule (RHR) requirements under the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) to
submit a report describing progress in achieving reasonable progress
goals (RPGs) to improve visibility in Federally designated areas in
nearby states that may be affected by emissions from sources in Iowa.
EPA is taking final action to approve Iowa's determination that the
existing Regional Haze (RH) SIP is adequate to meet the visibility
goals and requires no substantive revision at this time.

DATES: This final rule is effective September 14, 2016.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-R07-OAR-2014-0365. All documents in the docket are listed on
the www.regulations.gov Web site. Although listed in the index, some

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' or
``our'' refer to EPA. This section provides additional information by
addressing the following:

I. Background
II. Summary of SIP Revision
III. Final Action
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Background

    On July 3, 2014, (79 FR 37976), EPA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPR) for the State of Iowa. In the NPR, EPA proposed
approval of Iowa's progress report SIP, a report on progress made in
the first implementation period towards RPGs for Class I areas that are
affected by emissions from Iowa sources. This progress report SIP and
accompanying cover letter also included a determination that Iowa's
existing regional haze SIP requires no

substantive revision to achieve the established regional haze
visibility improvement and emissions reduction goals for 2018.
    On July 31, 2015, (80 FR 45631), EPA published a supplement to the
NPR (SNPR) for the State of Iowa. In the SNPR, EPA addressed the
potential effects on the NPR from the April 29, 2014, decision of the
United States Supreme Court (Supreme Court) remanding to the United
States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (D.C.
Circuit) EPA's Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) for further
proceedings and the D.C. Circuit's decision to lift the stay of CSAPR.
The supplemental notice provided clarity regarding how the court cases
impacted Iowa's regional haze rule.
    States are required to submit a progress report in the form of a
SIP revision every five years that evaluates progress towards the RPGs
for each mandatory Class I Federal area within the state and in each
mandatory Class I Federal area outside the state which may be affected
by emissions from within the state. See 40 CFR 51.308(g). In addition,
the provisions under 40 CFR 51.308(h) require states to submit, at the
same time as the 40 CFR 51.308(g) progress report, a determination of
the adequacy of the state's existing regional haze SIP. The first
progress report SIP is due five years after submittal of the initial
regional haze SIP. IDNR submitted its regional haze SIP on March 25,
2008, and submitted its progress report SIP revision on July 19, 2013.
EPA finds that it satisfies the requirements of 40 CFR 51.308(g) and
(h). No comments regarding the NPR or SNPR were received during the
public comment period.

II. Summary of SIP Revision

    On July 19, 2013, Iowa submitted a SIP revision describing the
progress made toward the RPGs of Class I areas outside Iowa that are
affected by emissions from Iowa's sources in accordance with
requirements in the Regional Haze Rule.\1\ This progress report SIP
also included an assessment of whether Iowa's existing regional haze
SIP is sufficient to allow nearby states with Class I areas to achieve
the reasonable progress goals by the end of the first planning period.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ EPA promulgated a rule to address regional haze on July 1,
1999 (64 FR 35713) known as the Regional Haze Rule. The Regional
Haze Rule revised the existing visibility regulations to integrate
into the regulation provisions addressing regional haze impairment
and established a comprehensive visibility protection program for
Class I areas. See 40 CFR 51.308 and 51.309.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The provisions in 40 CFR 51.308(g) require a progress report SIP to
address seven elements. In the NPR, EPA proposed to approve the SIP as
adequately addressing each element under 40 CFR 51.308(g). The seven
elements and EPA's proposed conclusions in the NPR are briefly
summarized below.
    The provisions in 40 CFR 51.308(g) require progress report SIPs to
include a description of the status of measures in the regional haze
implementation plan; a summary of the emissions reductions achieved; an
assessment of the visibility conditions for each Class I area in the
state; an analysis of the changes in emissions from sources and
activities within the state; an assessment of any significant changes
in anthropogenic emissions within or outside the state that have
limited or impeded visibility improvement progress in Class I areas
impacted by the state's sources; an assessment of the sufficiency of
the regional haze implementation plan to enable states to meet
reasonable progress goals; and a review of the state's visibility
monitoring strategy. As explained in detail in the NPR and the SNPR,
EPA proposed Iowa's progress report SIP addressed each element and
therefore satisfied the requirements under 40 CFR 51.308(g).
    In addition, pursuant to 40 CFR 51.308(h), states are required to
submit, at the same time as the progress report SIP revision, a
determination of the adequacy of their existing regional haze SIP and
to take one of four possible actions based on information in the
progress report. In its progress report SIP, Iowa determined that its
regional haze SIP is sufficient to meet its obligations related to the
reasonable progress goals for Class I areas affected by Iowa's sources.
The State accordingly provided EPA with a negative declaration that
further revision of the existing regional haze implementation plan was
not needed at this time. See 40 CFR 51.308(h)(1). As explained in
detail in the NPR and the SNPR, EPA proposed to determine that Iowa had
adequately addressed 40 CFR 51.308(h) because the visibility data
trends at the Class I areas impacted by Iowa's sources and the
emissions trends of the largest emitters in Iowa of visibility-
impairing pollutants both indicate that the reasonable progress goals
for 2018 for these areas will be met or exceeded. Therefore, in our NPR
and SNPR, EPA proposed to approve Iowa's progress report SIP as meeting
the requirements of 40 CFR 51.308(g) and (h).

III. Final Action

    EPA is taking final action to approve Iowa's regional haze five-
year progress report and SIP revision, submitted July 19, 2013, as
meeting the applicable regional haze requirements as set forth in 40
CFR 51.308(g) and 51.308 (h).

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Administrator is required to
approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act
and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly,
this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements
and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by
state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

    The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does
not have tribal implications and will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by October 14, 2016. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 747 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Boeing Model 747 airplanes. This proposed AD would require a one-time
inspection of certain fuselage skins at section 41 to find any external
doublers that cover the inspection areas and to identify the external
doublers that end on a stringer and those that do not, and related
investigative and corrective actions if necessary. This proposed AD
results from reports of cracks found at fastener locations in the
fuselage skins at section 41. We are proposing this AD to detect and
correct fuselage skin cracks at fastener locations along the skin-to-
stringer attachments, which could join together and become large and
consequently result in rapid decompression of the cabin.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by March 24, 2008.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov
, including any personal information you provide. We

will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    We have received two reports of cracks found at fastener locations
in the fuselage skins at section 41. One operator reported finding skin
cracks at a fastener location at stringer 5 (S-5) near station (STA)
365, on a Model 747-200F series airplane. These cracks were found
during incorporation of the skin modification specified in Boeing
Service Bulletin 747-53-2272. The cracks were 0.25 inch long and
located on the forward and aft side of the fastener hole. The airplane
had accumulated 13,726 total flight cycles. In the other report,
multiple skin cracks were found during Boeing Model 747-400 series
airplane fatigue testing. That test article had accumulated 40,000 test
cycles. The cracks were found at locations where there are no internal
doublers, at stringers 10 and 13, and between STA 260 and STA 300.
Fuselage skin cracks at fastener locations along the skin-to-stringer
attachments, if not corrected, could join together and become large and
consequently result in rapid decompression of the cabin.

Relevant Service Information

    We have reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2704, dated
October 4, 2007. The service bulletin describes procedures for doing a
one-time general visual inspection of certain fuselage skins at section
41 to find any external doublers that cover the inspection area and to
identify the external doublers that end on a stringer and those that do
not; and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. The
related investigative actions include the following:
     Removing any external doubler and doing a one-time
detailed inspection and an open-hole high frequency eddy current (HFEC)
inspection for any crack in the skin at the skin-to-stringer
attachments, for an inspection area where the skin-to-stringer
attachment is covered by an external doubler that ends on a stringer in
the inspection area.
     Doing repetitive external HFEC inspections for any crack
in the skin at the skin-to-stringer attachments, for an inspection area
where the skin-to-stringer attachment is not covered by an external
doubler.
    For the one-time general visual inspection, one-time detailed
inspection, one-time open-hole HFEC inspection, and the initial
external HFEC inspection, the service bulletin specifies a compliance
time of 16,000 or 25,000 total flight cycles depending on the airplane
configuration, or 2,000 flight cycles after the date on the service
bulletin, whichever occurs later. The service bulletin also specifies
that if a skin panel was replaced, the inspection threshold for the
affected area can be calculated from the time it was replaced. For the
repetitive external HFEC inspections, the service bulletin specifies a
repeat interval of 3,000 flight cycles.
    The corrective actions include repairing any crack found in an
inspection area, and installing a new external doubler where any
external doubler has been removed from the inspection area. The service
bulletin specifies accomplishing the corrective actions before further
flight.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the(se) same type
design(s). This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions
specified in the service

information described previously, except as discussed under
``Differences Between the Proposed AD and Service Bulletin.''

Differences Between Proposed AD and Service Bulletin

    Although Figure 19 of the service bulletin specifies doing a
``detailed visual inspection'' of the fastener holes, this proposed AD
would require doing a ``detailed inspection.''
    This proposed AD expands the inspection area at certain skin-to-
stringer attachments. In Figure 3 of the service bulletin, S-5 and S-5A
from STA 340 to STA 360 should be bold in the illustration to include
those areas as part of the recommended inspection (similar to Figure 8
for the right side). Also, in Figure 15 of the service bulletin, S-14A
from STA 200 to STA 220 should be bold in the illustration to include
that area as part of the recommended inspection (similar to Figure 17
for the right side). Boeing is aware of these discrepancies, concurs
with the changes, and has issued Information Notice (IN) 747-53A2704 IN
01, dated December 19, 2007, to inform operators of the errors. We have
included this information in paragraph (g) of this proposed AD.

Clarification of Proposed Requirements

    The service bulletin notes that, at locations where external
doublers exist that do not end on a stringer in the inspection area,
repetitive inspections of the skin for cracking at critical rows of
fasteners are required in accordance with Boeing Document Number D6-
36181, ``Repair Assessment Guidelines--Model 747.'' These inspections
would not be required by this AD, since compliance is already required
by sections 91.410, 121.370, 125.248, and 129.32 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 91.410, 121.370, 125.248, and 129.32).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 165 airplanes of
U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would take up to 64 work-hours
per product to comply with this proposed AD. The average labor rate is
$80 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this
proposed AD to the U.S. operators to be $844,800 or $5,120 per product.

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.
    We are 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

    We 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. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979), 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.
    You can find our regulatory evaluation and the estimated costs of
compliance in the AD Docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, 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

    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]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

Boeing: Docket No. FAA-2008-0148; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-
299-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by March 24, 2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to all Boeing Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-
100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D,
747-400F, 747SR, and 747SP series airplanes, certificated in any
category.

Unsafe Condition

    (d) This AD results from reports of cracks found at fastener
locations in the fuselage skins at section 41. We are issuing this
AD to detect and correct fuselage skin cracks at fastener locations
along the skin-to-stringer attachments, which could join together
and become large and consequently result in rapid decompression of
the cabin.

Compliance

    (e) Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

Repetitive Inspections and Related Investigative/Corrective Actions

    (f) At the applicable compliance times specified in Tables 1 and
2 of paragraph 1.E. of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2704,
dated October 4, 2007: Do a general visual inspection of the
fuselage skins at section 41 to find any external doublers that
cover the inspection area and to identify the external doublers that
end on a stringer in the inspection area and those that do not, and
do all the related investigative and corrective actions as
applicable, by accomplishing all of the applicable actions specified
in the Accomplishment Instructions of the service bulletin, except
as provided by paragraph (g) of this AD. Repeat the related
investigative actions thereafter at the interval specified in Tables
1 and 2 of the service bulletin, as applicable.

Exceptions to the Service Bulletin

    (g) Where Tables 1 and 2 of paragraph 1.E. of Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 747-53A2704, dated October 4, 2007, specify
counting the compliance time from ``* * * after the date on this
service bulletin,'' this AD requires counting the compliance time
from the effective date of this AD. Where Figure 19 of the service
bulletin specifies doing a ``detailed visual inspection'' for any
crack at fastener holes common to the stringer, this AD would
require doing a detailed inspection. In Figure 3 of the service
bulletin, also inspect the areas at stringer 5 (S-5) and S-5A
between station (STA) 340 and STA 360 (similar to Figure 8 for the
right side). In Figure 15 of the service bulletin, also inspect the
area at S-14A between STA 200 and STA 220 (similar to Figure 17 for
the right side).

Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (h)(1) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office, FAA,
ATTN: Ivan Li, Aerospace Engineer, Airframe Branch, ANM-120S, 1601
Lind Avenue, SW., Renton,

Washington 98057-3356; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax<PHONE_NUMBER>;
has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using
the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.
    (2) To request a different method of compliance or a different
compliance time for this AD, follow the procedures in 14 CFR 39.19.
Before using any approved AMOC on any airplane to which the AMOC
applies, notify your appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the FAA
Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local
FSDO.
    (3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be
used for any repair required by this AD, if it is approved by an
Authorized Representative for the Boeing Commercial Airplanes
Delegation Option Authorization Organization who has been authorized
by the Manager, Seattle ACO, to make those findings. For a repair
method to be approved, the repair must meet the certification basis
of the airplane, and the approval must specifically refer to this
AD.

    Issued in Renton, Washington, on January 31, 2008.

CONTACT REPORT From: Tom Holloway Date of Contact: September 4, 19, and 27 and October 9, 2002 Company/ Agency: eMag Solutions L. L. C. 1715 4th Street Graham, TX 76450 Telephone Number: ( 940) 549  4500 Person Contacted: Jerry Murray/ Kevin Burton CONTACT SUMMARY: Called Jerry Murray on September 4. He suggested I e mail my request and the information I needed to Kevin Burton ( kburton@ emaglink. com). Sent Mr. Burton the e mail request ( in WordPerfect) the same day. Received e mail response stating that he would be out of the office until September 9.

Called Mr. Burton on September 19 and left message. Mr. Burton called me back the same day and requested that I e mail the request in Microsoft Word format. They cannot read WordPerfect files. Sent Mr. Burton the e mail request ( in Microsoft Word) the same day.

Called Mr. Burton on September 27 and asked about status of responding to the information requested in the September 19 e mail. According to Mr. Burton, their environmental person was out, but they had asked him to come back this weekend to work on the request. Mr. Burton said they would send something to me the following week.

Called Mr. Burton on October 9 and asked about the status of responding to the information request. Mr. Burton said that they had been unsuccessful in bringing back the environmental person to work on the request. According to Mr. Burton, they have completely done away with all HAP at their plant, using only tetrahydrofuran ( THF) now. They have also relicensed and now send all of their emissions directly to the atmosphere, which is about 10 percent of what they were licensed for earlier. Mr. Burton stated that the facility would be closed permanently at the end of November. I responded that I would call back then to confirm the status of the facility.
