 [Docket No.CP07-389-000]

Southern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application

May 30, 2007.
    Take notice that on May 22, 2007, Southern Natural Gas Company
(Southern), 1900 Fifth Avenue North, Birmingham, Alabama 35203, filed
in Docket No. CP07-389-000, an application pursuant to section 7 (b) of
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's Regulations,
for authorization to abandon by sale to STL Pipeline, LLC (STL),
certain transmission pipelines and related appurtenant facilities
located in federal waters offshore Texas. Southern also requests a
determination that the facilities to be abandoned will be considered
non-jurisdictional facilities under Section 1(b) of the NGA upon the
closing of the sale, all as more fully set forth in the application
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
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
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call<PHONE_NUMBER> (toll free). For

TTY, call<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Southern seeks Commission authorization of its proposed abandonment
by sale to STL of 5.98 miles of 10.75-inch transmission pipelines and
appurtenant facilities in the Matagorda Island area in federal waters
offshore Texas (Matagorda Island Facilities). Also included in the sale
to STL is 2.02 miles of 6.625-inch pipeline (Matagorda 657 Line) that
will be abandoned by sale pursuant to Southern's blanket certificate
issued in Docket No. CP82-406-000.
    Southern states that the proposed abandonment by sale to STL will
not affect the capacity of Southern's pipeline system or impact the
availability of gas supplies on its system. These facilities do not
currently provide firm transportation services, only interruptible.
Southern states that the customers obtaining interruptible
transportation (IT) from these facilities during the past 12 months
have consented to the proposed abandonment by sale.
    Southern also requested in its application, a determination from
the Commission that both the Matagorda Island Facilities and the
Matagorda 657 Line will be non-jurisdictional gathering facilities
under 1(b) of the NGA upon closing of the sale to STL. Southern states
that the Matagorda Island Facilities and the Matagorda 657 Line meet
the standards set forth by the ``Primary Function Test'' established in
Farmland Industries Inc., 23 FERC ] 61,063 (1983) and the ``Modified
Primary Function'' Test established in Amerada Hess Corporation, 52
FERC ] 61,268 (1990).
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to John
C. Griffin, Senior Counsel, Post Office Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama
35202-2563, at<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    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 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.
    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.
    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. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part, A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it establishes Class E airspace at Willapa Harbor Heliport, South
Bend, WA.

History

    On November 24, 2015, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to establish Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, at Willapa Harbor
Heliport, South Bend, WA, (80 FR 73152). Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.9Z, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 15,
2015. FAA Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists Class A, B,
C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at Willapa Harbor Heliport, South Bend, WA.
Establishment of a GPS approach and departure procedure has made this
action necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations at the
heliport. Class E airspace is established within a 1.8-mile radius of
the Willapa Harbor Heliport, with a segment extending from the 1.8-mile
radius to 5.5 miles northwest of the heliport.

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 5-6.5a. 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.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-10013-52-Region 3]

Clean Water Act: Maryland-City of Annapolis and Anne Arundel
County Vessel Sewage No-Discharge Zone for Thirteen Waters--Tentative
Affirmative Determination

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative affirmative determination.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that an application for a no-discharge
zone has been received from the Secretary of Natural Resources and
Secretary of the Environment on behalf of the State of Maryland
requesting a determination by the Regional Administrator, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 3, that adequate
facilities for the safe and sanitary removal and treatment of sewage
from all vessels are reasonably available for thirteen waters located
in the City of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County, Maryland, pursuant to
the Clean Water Act. The EPA is requesting comments on this application
and whether EPA should finalize its tentative affirmative
determination, or make a negative determination, on the proposed
designation of a no-discharge zone for all and/or any of the thirteen
waters located in the City of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County as
provided in the Clean Water Act. The application is available upon
request from EPA (at the email address below) or at https://dnr.maryland.gov/boating/Documents/AANDZApplication.pdf.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing to EPA on or before October
23, 2020.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to Matthew A. Konfirst, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency--Mid-Atlantic Region, 1650 Arch Street,
Mail Code 3WD31, Philadelphia, PA 19103-2029, or emailed to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Only written comments will be considered.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew A. Konfirst, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency -Region III. Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>,
Fax number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed sewage no-discharge zone
includes 13 water bodies wholly within Anne Arundel County (Stoney
Creek, Rock Creek, Bodkin Creek, the Atlantic Marina Resort, Magothy
and Little Magothy Rivers, Severn River, South River, West and Rhode
Rivers, Podickory Creek, Sandy Point/Mezick Ponds, Whitehall Bay,
Oyster Cove and Fishing Creek). While these waterbodies constitute
nearly all of the county's waters, a few water bodies have been
excluded. The exclusions include two inter-jurisdictional rivers that
border the county (the Patapsco River and Patuxent River), as well as
Curtis Creek, which creates additional inter-jurisdictional
complications for no-discharge zone management and is also the most
heavily industrialized creek in the county with limited recreational
boating activity. Maryland's proposed NDZ for the 13 water bodies if
approved would total 27,379 acres, which would add to the 3,500 acres
of the Herring Bay no-discharge zone that was approved in 2002. (67 FR
1352, January 10, 2002). Maryland has requested that should EPA
determine that one (or more) of the 13 creeks, bays, or rivers do not
meet the criteria for NDZ designation, such individual part be denied
independently from the remaining waters in the application as a whole.
As described in Maryland's application, local entities undertook robust
public outreach and held a number of public meetings with boaters and
other stakeholders.

    The criteria for EPA to make its determination are based on Clean
Water Act 312(f), 33 U.S.C. 1322(f), and EPA's implementing regulations
found at 40 CFR 140.4. A detailed EPA guidance document entitled
``Protecting Coastal Waters from Vessel and Marina Discharges: A Guide
for State and Local Officials, Volume 1. Establishing No-Discharge
Areas under section 312 of the Clean Water Act (EPA 842-B-94-004,
August 1994)'' provides additional detail and informs EPA's analysis.
The two primary criteria upon which an affirmative decision is based
are: (1) A certifying statement of need by the state that the waters
described in the application require greater environmental protection;
and (2) demonstration by the state that there are adequate vessel
sewage pumpout facilities available to the boating public, in lieu of
direct discharge of treated sewage into the waters described in the
application.
    In the application, Maryland certified that the waters of the City
of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County require greater environmental
protection than provided by currently applicable Federal regulations.
All Anne Arundel County tributaries drain into the Chesapeake Bay. The
Magothy River, White Hall Bay/Meredith River, Severn River, South
River, Rhode River and West River have been listed on current or
previous Clean Water Act 303(d) lists of impaired waters by Maryland as
impaired for shellfish harvesting due to fecal coliform. As such, many
shellfish beds are restricted or closed. All except White Hall Bay/
Meredith Creek are also impaired for nutrients (nitrogen and
phosphorus) and all except the White Hall Bay/Meredith Creek and West
River for total suspended solids (TSS). While marine sanitation devices
lower fecal coliform levels, they do not effectively eliminate
nutrients or solids. A no-discharge zone is expected to help reduce
levels of nutrients, total suspended solids, and fecal coliform within
these impaired waters.
    Anne Arundel County, Maryland, supports a long history of boating,
highlighted by the establishment in 1845 of the U.S. Naval Academy in
the

county seat and state capital, Annapolis, along with active centers of
boat-building, fishing, crabbing, and oystering from the earliest
settlements into the 1980s. In recent decades, commercial vessels have
largely given way to so much recreational boating that Annapolis is
well known as ``The Nation's Sailing Capital.'' The U.S. Sailboat and
Powerboat Shows, held annually in Annapolis each October since 1970,
are the largest in-the-water boat shows in the United States. The 2017
Portbook lists 96 recreational boating businesses in Anne Arundel
County; and identifies several more that support and depend on
recreational crabbing and fishing.
    Maryland provided documentation indicating that the maximum total
vessel population is estimated to be 29,789 vessels, the majority of
which are recreational. The most conservative vessel population
estimates provided by Maryland suggest that there are 7,182 vessels
less than 16 feet in length, 10,307 vessels between 16 feet and 26 feet
in length, 9,072 vessels between 26 feet and 40 feet in length, and
3,228 vessels greater than 40 feet in length. Commercial traffic on

    The use of these facilities imposes minimal cost. As shown in the
table below, pumpout facilities located within the proposed no-
discharge zone charge fees that range from $3.00 to $50.00, with 55 of
63 available facilities charging $5.00 or less, including 15 facilities
that are free to use. According to Maryland's application, the majority
of commercial vessels operating in the proposed no-discharge zone are
already equipped with holding tank capacity and therefore are not
expected to experience incremental cost increases associated with a
designation.
