[Docket No. FAA-2019-0808; Airspace Docket No. 19-ASW-12]
RIN 2120-AA66

Amendment of Class D Airspace and Amendment and Revocation of the
Class E Airspace; Multiple Texas Towns

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action affects several airports in Texas by amending
Class D airspace and Class E surface airspace; revoking Class E
airspace designated as an extension to a Class E surface area; amending
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface; and
removing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface. This action is due to airspace reviews caused by the
decommissioning of the Hobby and Temple VHF omnidirectional range (VOR)
navigation aids as part of the VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON)
Program. The geographic coordinates and names of several airports would
also be updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, September 10, 2020. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
Title 1 Code of Federal Regulations part 51, subject to the annual
revision of FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

above the surface at Chambers County Airport, Anahuac, TX; Scholes
International Airport at Galveston; Conroe-North Houston Regional
Airport; Texas Gulf Coast Regional Airport, Angleton/Lake Jackson, TX;
and Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Airport; and removes the
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at
Wood No. 2 Airport, Brookshire, TX, and Covey Trails Airport, Fulshear,
TX, which are contained within the Houston, TX, airspace legal
description,

to support instrument flight rule operations at these airports.

    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 only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

Collection of Information

    Title: Post Disaster Survivor Preparedness Research Survey.
    Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved
information collection.
    OMB Number: 1660-0146.
    FEMA Forms: FEMA Form FF-008-FY-21-112 (formerly FEMA Form 519-0-
54), Post Disaster Survivor Preparedness Research: Instruments.
    Abstract: The economic and human toll of major disasters in the
United States is increasing and historically underserved communities
are disproportionately impacted. Poverty, race, limited English
proficiency, age, and other demographic, cultural, and socio-economic
variables can significantly inhibit people's ability to take steps to
prepare. To reverse this trend, emergency managers must ensure
historically undeserved communities receive critical information that
helps each person take steps to prepare themselves, their families, and
their communities. To achieve equity in opportunities to prepare for
disasters, FEMA proposes a series of qualitative focus groups,
cognitive interviews, and targeted surveys to better understand
individual experiences within historically underserved communities
during recent disasters. FEMA Form FF-008-FY-21-112 (formerly FEMA Form
519-0-54) is a combined instrument that contains the script and
question bank for conducting the focus groups, cognitive interviews,
and surveys.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,120 respondents.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 3,120 responses.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 650.
    Estimated Total Annual Respondent Cost: $25,513.
    Estimated Respondents' Operation and Maintenance Costs: $0.00.
    Estimated Respondents' Capital and Start-Up Costs: $0.00.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost to the Federal Government: $188,267.

Comments

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Airbus SAS Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and -232
airplanes. This AD was prompted by a quality control review, which
determined that the wrong aluminum alloy was used to manufacture
several structural parts. This AD requires a one-time eddy current
conductivity measurement of certain structural parts of the outer flaps
to determine if the incorrect alloy was used, and replacement if
necessary, as specified in a European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD,
which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective December 24, 2019.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of December 24,
2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2019-0012, dated January 24, 2019
(``EASA AD 2019-0012'') (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for all Airbus SAS Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -
213, -231, and -232 airplanes.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Airbus SAS Model
A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes. The
NPRM published in the Federal Register on June 7, 2019 (84 FR 26598).
The NPRM was prompted by a quality control review, which determined
that the wrong aluminum alloy was used to manufacture several
structural parts. The NPRM proposed to require a one-time eddy current
conductivity measurement of certain structural parts of the outer flaps
to determine if the incorrect alloy was used, and replacement if
necessary.
    The FAA is issuing this AD to address structural parts made of
incorrect aluminum alloy, which could result in reduced structural
integrity of the outer flaps and reduced controllability of the
airplane. See the MCAI for additional background information.

Explanation of Change to Format of Paragraph Designation References

    The FAA has revised the format used for referring to paragraph
designations throughout this AD. This change is necessary to meet
Office of the Federal Register's drafting requirements. For example,
where the FAA used to say paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2) of this AD, the
FAA now says paragraphs (g)(1) and (2) of this AD. This change does not
affect the requirements of this AD.

Comment

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The following presents the comment received
on the NPRM and the FAA's response.

Request To Revise Reporting Requirement

    American Airlines requested that paragraph (h) of the proposed AD
be changed so operators would be required to report only positive
findings. The commenter stated that negative findings are not value
added and only serve to add unnecessary work for operators. In
addition, the commenter requested that the compliance time for
reporting findings be extended from 30 days after the inspection to 90
days after the inspection. The commenter remarked that it creates an
undue burden for operators to report inspection results within 30 days
after an inspection.
    The FAA partially agrees with the commenter's request. The FAA
agrees to extend the compliance time in paragraph (h)(4)(ii) of this
AD, which applies to inspections done before the effective date of this
AD. This extension will provide flexibility to operators who have done
the inspections required by this AD, but have not completed an
inspection report. However, the FAA does not agree to change the
compliance time in paragraph (h)(4)(i) of this AD, which applies to
inspections done on or after the effective date of this AD, because the
service information referenced in EASA AD 2019-0012 requires reporting
within 30 days after the inspection is done. If the inspection was done
on or after the effective date of this AD an operator must submit the
report within 30 days after the inspection. If the inspection was done
before the effective date of this AD, an operator must submit the
report within 90 days after the effective date of this AD.
    The FAA does not agree with the commenter's request to require that
only positive findings be reported. Airbus uses the information from
all findings, both positive and negative, to plan and provide
corrective actions for the unsafe condition identified in this AD. The
FAA has not revised this AD in regard to this issue.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment
received, and determined that air safety and the public interest
require adopting this final rule with the changes described previously
and minor editorial changes. The FAA determined that these minor
changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
    The FAA also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final
rule.

Related IBR Material Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2019-0012 describes procedures for a one-time eddy current
conductivity measurement of certain structural parts on the outer flaps
to determine if an incorrect aluminum alloy was used, and replacement
of any affected part with a serviceable part.
    This material 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.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 29 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                     Estimated Costs for Required Actions *
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 work-hours x $85 per hour = $510...........................              $0             $510          $14,790
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Table does not include estimated costs for reporting.

    The FAA estimates that it will take about one work-hour per product
to comply with the reporting requirement in this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per hour. Based on these figures, the FAA estimates the
cost of reporting the inspection results on U.S. operators to be
$2,465, or $85 per product.
    The FAA has received no definitive data that will enable the agency
to provide cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in
this AD.
    According to the manufacturer, some or all of the costs of this AD
may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. The FAA does not control warranty coverage for
affected individuals. As a result, the agency has included all known
costs in the cost estimate.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this AD is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this AD has been detailed in
the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for
reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Therefore, all reporting associated with
this AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden
and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to
Information Collection Clearance Officer, Federal Aviation
Administration, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Forth Worth, TX 76177-1524.

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 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

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will 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 that this AD:
    (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.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2012-21-04,
which applied to all Airbus Model A300 series airplanes; Model A310
series airplanes; and Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series
airplanes, and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes (collectively
called Model A300-600 series airplanes).
    AD 2012-21-04 required repetitive inspections for, and replacement
of, any cracked hood halves of fuel pump canisters. Since we issued AD
2012-21-04, we allowed inspections of the wing-outer tank and trim tank
fuel pump canister hood halves to be terminated.
    This new AD retains the requirements of AD 2012-21-04, reinstates
the terminated inspections, and adds optional terminating actions. This
AD was prompted by reports of cracked fuel pump canister hoods located
in fuel tanks and new in-service events of wing-outer tank fuel pump
canister hood cracking. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective January 18, 2018.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of January 18,
2018.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain other publications listed in this AD as of
November 27, 2012 (77 FR 64701, October 23, 2012).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2012-21-04, Amendment 39-17220 (77 FR 64701,
October 23, 2012) (``AD 2012-21-04''). AD 2012-21-04 applied to all
Airbus Model A300 series airplanes; Model A310 series airplanes; and
Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes, and Model
A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes (collectively called Model A300-600
series airplanes).
    The NPRM published in the Federal Register on August 2, 2017 (82 FR
35911). The NPRM was prompted by reports of cracked fuel pump canister
hoods located in fuel tanks and new in-service events of wing-outer
tank fuel pump canister hood cracking. The NPRM proposed to retain the
requirements of AD 2012-21-04, reinstate terminated inspections, and
add optional terminating actions. We

are issuing this AD to prevent any detached canister hood fragments/
debris from being ingested into the fuel feed system, and becoming a
potential source of ignition with consequent fire or explosion.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD
2017-0051, dated March 23, 2017 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus Model A300 series airplanes;
Model A310 series airplanes; and Model A300-600 series airplanes. The
MCAI states:

    Reports were received of finding cracked fuel pump canister
hoods located in fuel tanks on in-service aeroplanes. Initial
analyses, laboratory testing and examinations suggested that
vibration-induced fatigue could have caused these cracks. However,
initial data could not exclude some other potential contributing
factors.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to
detached canister hood fragments or debris being ingested into the
fuel feed system. In addition, metallic debris inside the fuel tank
could result in a potential source of fuel vapour ignition, possibly
resulting in a fire or fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of
the aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, EASA issued AD 2011-
0124 (later revised) [FAA AD 2012-21-04 corresponds to EASA AD 2011-
0124] to require repetitive inspections of the canister hood halves
installed on all fuel pump canisters and, if any damage was found,
replacement. EASA AD 2011-0124R1 introduced an optional terminating
action for the wing inner and centre fuel tanks, and cancelled the
repetitive inspections of the fuel pump canister hoods in outer wing
and trim tanks, for which no cracks had been reported following the
initial inspection.
    Since that [EASA] AD was issued, new in service events of outer
tank fuel pump canister hood cracking have been reported.
Consequently, the canister hoods of the outer tank fuel pumps and
trim tank fuel pumps will need to be inspected.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2011-0124R1, which is superseded, retaining
the repetitive inspections of fuel pump canister hoods in wing inner
and centre tanks, and reintroduces repetitive detailed inspections
(DET) for outer tank and trim tank fuel pump canister hoods. This
[EASA] AD also retains the existing optional terminating action for
the repetitive DET of wing inner and centre tank fuel pump canister
hoods, and introduces a new optional terminating action for the
repetitive DET of the outer and trim tank fuel pump canister hoods
required by this [EASA] AD.

    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-2017-
0714.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comment received. The commenter, John
Sanderson, supported the NPRM.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD as proposed except for minor editorial changes. We have
determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus has issued the following service information.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A300-28-0089, Revision 03, dated
December 16, 2016. This service information describes procedures for
repetitive detailed inspections of all fuel pump locations (center,
wing-inner, and wing-outer tank), and replacing any cracked hood halves
of fuel pump canisters.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A300-28-0092, Revision 01, dated
August 29, 2014; Airbus Service Bulletin A300-28-6110, Revision 01,
dated August 29, 2014; and Airbus Service Bulletin A310-28-2175,
Revision 01, dated August 29, 2014. This service information describes
procedures for replacement of the hood halves of the fuel pump
canisters with newer design hood halves for the wing-inner tank and the
center tank fuel pumps. These documents are distinct since they apply
to different airplane models.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A300-28-0094, Revision 00, dated
January 9, 2017. This service information describes procedures for
replacement of the hood halves of the fuel pump canisters with newer
design hood halves for the wing-outer tank.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A300-28-6106, Revision 03, dated
December 16, 2016; and Airbus Service Bulletin A310-28-2173, Revision
03, dated December 16, 2016. This service information describes
procedures for repetitive detailed inspections of all fuel pump
locations (center, wing-inner, wing-outer, and trim tank), and
replacing any cracked hood halves of fuel pump canisters. These
documents are distinct since they apply to different airplane models.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A300-28-6114, Revision 00, dated
January 9, 2017; and Airbus Service Bulletin A310-28-2178, Revision 00,
dated January 9, 2017. This service information describes procedures
for replacement of the hood halves of the fuel pump canisters with
newer design hood halves for the wing-outer tank and the trim tank fuel
pumps. These documents are distinct since they apply to different
airplane models.
    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.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 168 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The actions required by AD 2012-21-04, and retained in this AD take
about 12 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per
workhour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the actions
that are required by AD 2012-21-04 is $1,020 per product.
    We also estimate that it will take about 9 work-hours per product
to comply with the new basic requirements of this AD, at an average
labor rate of $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of the new basic requirements of this AD on U.S. operators to
be $128,520, or $765 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that the optional terminating actions will
take about 1 work-hour and require parts costing $255, for a cost of
$340 per product. We have no way of determining the number of aircraft
that might need these actions.

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.
    This 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 to
the Director of the System Oversight Division.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 that this AD:
    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);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. 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.

[Docket No. RM98-1-000]

Records Governing Off-the-Record Communications; Public Notice

    This constitutes notice, in accordance with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), of
the receipt of prohibited and exempt off-the-record communications.
    Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222, September 22, 1999) requires Commission
decisional employees, who make or receive a prohibited or exempt off-
the-record communication relevant to the merits of a contested
proceeding, to deliver to the Secretary of the Commission, a copy of
the communication, if written, or a summary of the substance of any
oral communication.
    Prohibited communications are included in a public, non-decisional
file associated with, but not a part of, the decisional record of the
proceeding. Unless the Commission determines that the prohibited
communication and any responses thereto should become a part of the
decisional record, the prohibited off-the-record communication will not
be considered by the Commission in reaching its decision. Parties to a
proceeding may seek the opportunity to respond to any facts or
contentions made in a prohibited off-the-record communication, and may
request that the Commission place the prohibited communication and
responses thereto in the decisional record. The Commission will grant
such a request only when it determines that fairness so requires. Any
person identified below as having made a prohibited off-the-record
communication shall serve the document on all parties listed on the
official service list for the applicable proceeding in accordance with
Rule 2010, 18 CFR 385.2010.
    Exempt off-the-record communications are included in the decisional
record of the proceeding, unless the communication was with a
cooperating agency as described by 40 CFR 1501.6, made under 18 CFR
385.2201(e)(1)(v).
    The following is a list of off-the-record communications recently

received by the Secretary of the Commission. The communications listed
are grouped by docket numbers in ascending order. These filings are
available for electronic review at the Commission in the Public
Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link. Enter the docket number,

[Docket No. CP09-61-000]

Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; Notice of Application

February 19, 2009.
    Take notice that on February 4, 2009, Texas Eastern Transmission,
LP (Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 77056, filed
in the above referenced docket an application pursuant to sections 7(b)
and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's
regulations, for an order granting the authorization (i) to construct,
own, operate, and maintain a 12,500 horsepower (HP) compressor and
related appurtenances necessary to facilitate interconnection with
Texas Gas Transmission, LLC's (Texas Gas) Greenville Lateral at
Kosciusko, Mississippi; (ii) to abandon by removal an outdated 12,500
HP compressor and related appurtenances; (iii) to utilize its existing
system firm and interruptible rates for the Kosciusko Project
facilities; and (iv) any waivers, authority, and further relief as may
be necessary to implement the subject proposal, all as more fully set
forth in the 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 Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary''
link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the
docket number field to access the document. For assistance, contact
FERC at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call toll-free,<PHONE_NUMBER> or
TTY,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to Garth
Johnson, General Manager, Rates and Certificates, Texas Eastern
Transmission, LP, P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642, at (713)
627-5415.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 14 copies of filings made in the proceeding with the Commission
and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426.
    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
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For
assistance with any FERC Online service, please e-mail
