[Docket No. CP06-18-000]

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

November 10, 2005.
    Take notice that on October 31, 2005, Tennessee Gas Pipeline
Company (Tennessee), 1001 Louisiana, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in
Docket No. CP06-18-000, an application pursuant to section 7 of the
Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the regulations of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, for an order authorizing Tennessee to construct
and operate approximately 7.8 miles of 24-inch pipeline in Essex and
Middlesex Counties, Massachusetts. The proposed facilities will provide
an additional 82,300 Dekatherms per day of incremental firm
transportation capacity to Tennessee's New England Area market.
Tennessee also requested that an order be issued by August 1, 2006, all
as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the
Commission and open to public inspection. This filing may be also
viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link.

    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, before the
comment date of this notice, 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

Comments on the Vapor Intrusion Guidance Scientific Analysis Team Indoor Environments Division/ ORIA/ OAR Thanks for the opportunity to review a document on an important topic, vapor intrusion to the indoor pathway. The document presents valuable guidance and applies emerging science and knowledge to a pathway that can produce significant exposures to the public.

We lack the expertise to comment on the physical model for transmission of vapor from the soil/ water and for the inputs to the model, e. g., attenuation factors. However, the methodology used to develop guidance, e. g., the application of a risk assessment framework, is sound and consistent with similar Agency efforts. The specific sources and their order of application ( EPA's Superfund Chemical Data Matrix ( SCDM) and WATER9 database as the source of toxic chemical components that may be present at hazardous waste sites and the preferential use of EPA's Integrated Risk Information System ( IRIS), followed by the provisional toxicity values recommended by EPA's National Center for Environmental Assessment ( NCEA), EPA's Health Effects Assessment Summary Tables ( HEAST), and then derived extrapolated unit risks and/ or RfCs using toxicity data for oral exposure, reference doses), to establish guidance levels is also reasonable.

In response to your specific question, we recommend the following:

In general, EPA defers to OSHA for industrial occupational exposures, but for non industrial environments such as office spaces, this office has consistently taken the position in our literature that occupational standards are not adequately protective. There are several reasons for this: ( 1) the standards were designed to protect workers in an industrial environment, not in office spaces, ( 2) there is an expectation by workers of some exposures in industrial environments, whereas office workers expect a clean and healthy environment, ( 3) the occupational standards are designed to protect healthy adult male workers and do not account for the variations of age and health conditions of individuals in other environments, and ( 4) the occupational standards consider feasibility of achievement in addition to just health. Because of these and other factors, we have taken the position that public health criteria are more appropriate for non industrial work environments. Over the past 15 years, we have worked closely with OSHA within this general framework. Thus, we suggest that a distinction be made between industrial work places and nonindustrial work places. Accordingly, we suggest the following revisions.

Page 3.

1st paragraph, category 1.

Title should read " Industrial occupational settings"

Line 7 . Insert the word " industrial" before occupational 2nd paragraph First sentence should read: " In general, therefore, EPA does not expect this guidance be used for industrial occupational settings".

3rd paragraph, category 2.

Title should read " Non industrial, non residential settings"

First two sentences should read: Non industrial and non residential buildings may need to be evaluated where people may be exposed to hazardous constituents entering into the air space from the subsurface. This would include, for example, offices, schools, libraries, hospitals, hotels, stores, or any building where the general public may be present.
