[Docket No. CP06-66-001]

Port Barre Investments, L.L.C. (d/b/a Bobcat Gas Storage); Notice
of Amendment Application

February 20, 2007.
    On February 7, 2007, in Docket No. CP06-66-001, Port Barre
Investments, L.L.C. (d/b/a Bobcat Gas Storage (Bobcat)), pursuant to
section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, as amended, and section 157
Subparts A of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, filed to amend its certificate issued on July 20, 2006 in
Docket No. CP06-66-000, 166 FERC ]61,052. The requested amendment would
increase the working gas capacity of each of two authorized storage
caverns from 6.0 billion cubic feet (Bcf) to 6.75 Bcf, increasing the
total project working gas capacity to 13.5 Bcf. Bobcat also seeks to:
construct a new 16-inch diameter, 2.11-mile pipeline to a Texas Eastern
Transmission, L.P. (TETCO) interconnect; decrease the pipeline
diameters of three previously authorized natural gas pipelines;
construct a new 12-inch diameter,2.14-mile pipeline in the South
pipeline Corridor to the point of interconnect between the West and
South Pipeline Corridors; and, construct a 16-inch diameter, 1.34-mile
line brine pipeline, all as more fully described in the application.
Further, Bobcat asks that the Commission issue requested authorizations
on an expedited basis by April 21, 2007.
    Questions concerning the application should be directed to Paul W.
Bieniawski<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or Thomas R. Dill
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>at Bobcat Gas Storage, 1500 City West
Boulevard, Suite 560, Houston, Texas 77042, or by calling (713) 800-

Facsimile:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    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, 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 with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant
and to every other party in the proceeding. 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.
    Comments, protests and interventions 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 at http://www.ferc.gov. The Commission strongly encourages

intervenors to file electronically.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the

``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription''
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail

Proposed Revocation and Amendment of Class E Airspace; Williston,
ND

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to revoke the Class E airspace at Sloulin
Field International Airport, Williston, ND, due to the airport's
closure. This action also proposes to amend Class E airspace at
Williston Basin International Airport, Williston, ND. The action
proposes to add an area designated as a surface area. This action also
proposes to amend the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface by adding two extensions, one to the southeast and
one to the north of the airport. Additionally, this action proposes to
add a Class E airspace area extending upward from 1,200 feet above the
surface. Lastly, this action proposes an administrative correction to
the airspace legal description's text header by updating the airport's

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11D, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 8, 2019, and effective
September 15, 2019. FAA Order 7400.11D is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11D lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by revoking the Class E airspace at
Sloulin Field International Airport at Williston ND, due to the
airport's closure.
    This action also proposes to amend Class E airspace at Williston
Basin International Airport, Williston, ND. The proposal would add a
Class E airspace area, designated at a surface area. This area is
designed to provide controlled airspace for terminal operations where a
control tower is not in operation. This proposed area is described as
follows: That airspace extending upward from the surface within a 4.2-
mile radius of the airport, and within 1.3 miles each side of the
135[deg] bearing from the airport, extending from the 4.2-mile radius
to 4.7 miles southeast of the airport, and within 1.3 miles each side
of the 339[deg] bearing from the airport, extending from the 4.2-mile
radius to 4.7 miles north of the Williston Basin International Airport.
    Additionally, this action proposes to amend the Class E airspace
area extending upward from 700 feet above the surface by adding two
extensions to the current 6.7-mile radius of the airport. One to the
southeast and one to the north of the airport. These areas are designed
to accommodate arriving IFR operations when aircraft descend below
1,500 feet above the surface. The proposed area is described as
follows: That airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface
within a 6.7-mile radius of the airport, and within 3.6 miles each side
of the 132[deg] bearing from the airport, extending from the 6.7-mile
radius to 11.4 miles southeast of the airport, and within 3.6 miles
each side of the 340[deg] bearing from the airport, extending from the
6.7-mile radius to 11 miles north of the Williston Basin International
Airport.
    Further, this action proposes to add a Class E airspace area
extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface. This area is
designed to accommodate IFR aircraft while transitioning to/from the en
route environment. The proposed area is described as follows: That
airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface within a
41-mile radius of the Williston Basin International Airport.
    Lastly, this action proposed an administrative correction to the
airspace legal description's text header by updating the airport's
geographic coordinate to match the FAA's aeronautical database. The
coordinates should read: Lat. 48[deg]15'39'' N, long. 103[deg]45'04''
W. Class E2 and Class E5 airspace designations are published in
paragraphs 6002 and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11D, dated
August 8, 2019, and effective September 15, 2019, which is incorporated
by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed
in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
