Airworthiness Directives; 328 Support Services GmbH (Type
Certificate Previously Held by AvCraft Aerospace GmbH; Fairchild
Dornier GmbH; Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH) Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2004-06-
01, which applied to certain Dornier Model 328-100 series airplanes;
and AD 2009-06-09, which applied to all Dornier Model 328-100 series
airplanes. AD 2004-06-01 required replacement of the existing main
landing gear (MLG) leg assembly with a modified assembly. AD 2009-06-09
required modifying the MLG main body and trailing arm bushings, and
revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable,
to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. This
AD continues to require revising the existing maintenance or inspection
program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations; as specified in a European Union Aviation
Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. This AD
was prompted by a determination that new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations are necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective May 26, 2020.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of May 26,
2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2019-0270, dated October 30, 2019
(``EASA AD 2019-0270'') (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for all 328 Support Services GmbH Model 328-100 airplanes.
    EASA AD 2019-0270 also specifies that it takes over the applicable
requirements of EASA AD 2006-0197, dated July 11, 2006 (which
corresponds to FAA AD 2008-17-01 R1, Amendment 39-16106 (74 FR 63569,
December 4, 2009) (``AD 2008-17-01 R1''); and EASA AD 2010-0054, dated
March 25, 2010 (which corresponds to

FAA AD 2012-01-08, Amendment 39-16920 (77 FR 3583, January 25, 2012)
(``AD 2012-01-08''). Accomplishing the existing maintenance or
inspection program revision required in this AD terminates the
requirements of AD 2008-17-01 R1 and AD 2012-01-08 for Model 328-100
series airplanes.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2004-06-01, Amendment 39-13527 (69 FR
13715, March 24, 2004) (``AD 2004-06-01''); and AD 2009-06-09,
Amendment 39-15845 (74 FR 12249, March 24, 2009) (``AD 2009-06-09'').
AD 2004-06-01 applied to certain Dornier Model 328-100 series
airplanes; and AD 2009-06-09, applied to all Dornier Model 328-100
series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on
February 3, 2020 (85 FR 5906). The NPRM was prompted by a determination
that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary.
The NPRM proposed to require revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations, as specified in a EASA AD. The
FAA is issuing this AD to address the potential failure of parts, which
could lead to reduced control of the airplane; and to address the
potential of ignition sources inside fuel tanks, which, in combination
with flammable fuel vapors, could result in a fuel tank explosion and
consequent loss of the airplane.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the public.

Clarification of Paragraph (i) of This AD

    Once the existing maintenance or inspection program is revised as
required by paragraph (g) of this AD, paragraph (i) of this AD does not
allow for the later use of alternative actions or intervals unless
these alternative actions or intervals are approved as specified in
``Ref. Publications'' section of EASA AD 2019-0270. Paragraph (i) of
the proposed AD used the word ``except'' to describe the allowance for
alternative actions or intervals. To make the language consistent with
the language in the ``Ref. Publications'' section of EASA AD 2019-0270,
the FAA has changed the wording to ``unless they are approved.''

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety
and the public interest require adopting this final rule as proposed,
except for minor editorial changes. The FAA has 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.

Related IBR Material Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2019-0270 describes, among other actions, airworthiness
limitations for certification maintenance requirements that include,
among other items, safe life limits and fuel tank system limitations.
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 21 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:
    The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator,
although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator
to operator. In the past, the agency has estimated that this action
takes 1 work-hour per airplane. Since operators incorporate maintenance
or inspection program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has
determined that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-
airplane estimate. The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for
the new actions to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

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.

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.

L.P.; Notice of Revised Schedule for the Environmental Review and the
Final Order for the Jordan Cove Energy Project

    This notice identifies the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission) staff's revised schedule for the completion of the
environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Jordan Cove Energy
Project. The first notice of schedule, issued on August 31, 2018,
identified August 30, 2019 as the final EIS issuance date. The previous
notice states, however, that the forecasted schedule assumes that the
cooperating agencies will provide input on their areas of
responsibility on a timely basis. Due to the funding lapse at certain

federal agencies between December 22, 2018 and January 25, 2019, an
extension is required for the cooperating agencies to complete their
respective input. Staff has revised the schedule for issuance of the
final EIS, based on an issuance of the draft EIS in March 2019.

Schedule for Environmental Review

Issuance of Notice of Availability of the final EIS--October 11, 2019
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline--January 9, 2020

    In an additional notice issued on August 31, 2018, the Commission
identified November 29, 2019 as the anticipated final order issuance
for the Jordon Cove Energy Project. Based on the revised final EIS
schedule, the Commission currently anticipates issuing a final order
for the project no later than:

Issuance of Final Order--January 9, 2020

    If a schedule change becomes necessary, an additional notice will
be provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the
project's progress.

Additional Information

    In order to receive notification of the issuance of the EIS and to
keep track of all formal issuances and submittals in specific dockets,

Fairlawn Hydroelectric Company, LLC; Notice of Availability of
Final Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part
380, the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for an
original license for the proposed 14,000-kilowatt (kW) Jennings
Randolph Hydroelectric Project located on the North Branch Potomac
River in Garrett County, Maryland and Mineral County, West Virginia, at
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Jennings Randolph Dam and has
prepared a final environmental assessment (EA) in cooperation with the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In the final EA, Commission staff
analyzes the potential environmental effects of licensing the project
and concludes that issuing a license for the construction and operation
of the project, with

appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute a major
federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment.
    A copy of the final EA is on file with the Commission and is
available for public inspection. The final EA may also be viewed on the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PHMSA received a special permit request from
Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP, (``GSPC'') to deviate from the Federal
pipeline safety regulations in 49 CFR 192.611, for one segment of 30-
inch diameter, Index 330 Pipeline, located in St. Mary Parish,
Louisiana, where the class location has changed from a Class 1 location
to a Class 3 location. The application requests a new permit to operate
the existing Class 1 pipe in the new Class 3 location for the segment
from survey station 527+87 to 567+51 (3964 feet).
    The proposed special permit inspection area extends from survey
station 0+03, the start of the Index 330 Pipeline at Bayou Sale
Junction, to survey station 1212+28 at the Weeks Island Junction. The
Inspection Area is 22.96 miles long (121,558 feet) and extends from St.
Mary Parish to Iberia Parish in Louisiana.
    In lieu of pipe replacement, GSPC seeks permission to perform
alternative risk control activities based on integrity management
program principles and requirements.
    The special permit request provided by the operator includes a
draft environmental assessment (EA), proposed special permit
conditions, and location map. These documents are filed at http://www.Regulations.gov, in Docket No. PHMSA-2019-0015. We invite
interested persons to participate by reviewing the proposed special
permit documents and draft EA at http://www.Regulations.gov, and by
submitting written comments, data or other views. Please include any
comments on potential safety and environmental impacts that may result
if the special permit is granted.
    Before issuing a decision on the special permit request, PHMSA will
evaluate all comments received on or before the comment closing date.
Comments received after the comment

closing date will be evaluated if it is possible to do so without
incurring additional expense or delay. PHMSA will consider each
relevant comment we receive in making our decision to grant or deny a
request.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on April 29, 2019, under authority
delegated in 49 CFR 1.97.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Rule 203A-2(d), OMB Control No. 3235-0689, SEC File No. 270-630.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the ``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collections of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
    The title of the collection of information is: ``Exemption for
Certain Multi-State Investment Advisers (Rule 203A-2(d)).'' Its
currently approved OMB control number is 3235-0689. An agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
    Pursuant to section 203A of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940
(the ``Act'') (15 U.S.C. 80b-3a), an investment adviser that is
regulated or required to be regulated as an investment adviser in the
state in which it maintains its principal office and place of business
is prohibited from registering with the Commission unless that adviser
has at least $25 million in assets under management or advises a
Commission-registered investment company. Section 203A also prohibits
from Commission registration an adviser that: (i) Has assets under
management between $25 million and $100 million; (ii) is required to be
registered as an investment adviser with the state in which it
maintains its principal office and place of business; and (iii) if
registered, would be subject to examination as an adviser by that state
(a ``mid-sized adviser''). A mid-sized adviser that otherwise would be
prohibited may register with the Commission if it would be required to
register with 15 or more states. Similarly, Rule 203A-2(d) under the
Act (17 CFR 275.203a-2(d)) provides that the prohibition on
registration with the Commission does not apply to an investment
adviser that is required to register in 15 or more states. An
investment adviser relying on this exemption also must: (i) Include a
representation on Schedule D of Form ADV that the investment adviser
has concluded that it must register as an investment adviser with the
required number of states; (ii) undertake to withdraw from registration
with the Commission if the adviser indicates on an annual updating
amendment to Form ADV that it would be required by the laws of fewer
than 15 states to register as an investment adviser with the state; and
(iii) maintain in an easily accessible place a record of the states in
which the investment adviser has determined it would, but for the
exemption, be required to register for a period of not less than five
years from the filing of a Form ADV relying on the rule.
    Respondents to this collection of information are investment
advisers required to register in 15 or more states absent the exemption
that rely on rule 203A-2(d) to register with the Commission. The
information collected under rule 203A-2(d) permits the Commission's
examination staff to determine an adviser's eligibility for
registration with the Commission under this exemptive rule and is also
necessary for the Commission staff to use in its examination and
oversight program. This collection of information is codified at 17 CFR
275.203a-2(d) and is mandatory to qualify for and maintain Commission
registration eligibility under rule 203A-2(d). Responses to the
recordkeeping requirements under rule 203A-2(d) in the context of the
Commission's examination and oversight program are generally kept
confidential.
    The estimated number of investment advisers subject to the
collection of information requirements under the rule is 152. These
advisers will incur an average one-time initial burden of approximately
8 hours, and an average ongoing burden of approximately 8 hours per
year, to keep records sufficient to demonstrate that they meet the 15-
state threshold. These estimates are based on an estimate that each
year an investment adviser will spend approximately 0.5 hours creating
a record of its determination whether it must register as an investment
adviser with each of the 15 states required to rely on the exemption,
and approximately 0.5 hours to maintain these records. Accordingly, we
estimate that rule 203A-2(d) results in an annual aggregate burden of
collection for SEC-registered investment advisers of a total of 1,216
hours. Estimates of average burden hours are made solely for the
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, and are not derived from a
comprehensive or even a representative

survey or study of the costs of Commission rules and forms.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication.
    Please direct your written comments to Thomas Bayer, Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Remi
Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549; or send an email
to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
    Dated: January 29, 2014.

Deputy Secretary.

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for all Airbus SAS Model A330-200 series; A330-200 Freighter series;
A330-300 series; A330-800 series; A330-900 series; A340-200 series; and
A340-300 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of
cracks found in the scroll housing assembly of Honeywell GTCP331-350
auxiliary power units (APUs). This proposed AD would require replacing
each affected APU or re-identifying certain APU scroll housing
assemblies, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). This
proposed AD would also prohibit the installation of affected parts
under certain conditions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the
unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 4,
2023.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2023-1217; Project Identifier
MCAI-2023-00477-T'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the proposal, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposal because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. The
agency will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal
contact received about this NPRM.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this NPRM, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to
Timothy Dowling, Aviation Safety Engineer, FAA, 1600 Stewart Avenue,
Suite 410, Westbury, NY 11590; phone<PHONE_NUMBER>; email
[email protected]. Any commentary that the FAA receives which
is not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public
docket for this rulemaking.

Background

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2023-0056, dated March 16, 2023
(EASA AD 2023-0056) (also referred to as the MCAI), to correct an
unsafe condition for all Airbus SAS Model 330-201, -202, -203, -223, -
223F, -243, -243F, -301, -302, -303, -321, -322, -323, -341, -342, -
343, -841, -941, and -743L airplanes, and Model A340-211, -212, -213, -
311, -312, and -313 airplanes. Model A330-743L airplanes are not
certificated by the FAA and are not included on the U.S. type
certificate data sheet; this proposed AD therefore does not include
those airplanes in the applicability. The MCAI states that cracks were
found in the scroll housing assembly of Honeywell GTCP331-350 APUs.
This condition, if not addressed, could lead to hot air leakage and
consequent damage to the APU compartment and loss of the APU doors,
possibly resulting in damage to the airplane.
    The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2023-1217.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2023-0056 specifies procedures for replacing each affected
APU or re-identifying certain APU scroll housing assemblies (those
having part number (P/N) 5053-181-001-501 or P/N<PHONE_NUMBER> and `SR-1'
next to the part number marking). EASA AD 2023-0056 also prohibit the
installation of affected parts under certain conditions.
    Honeywell Service Bulletin 5053-181-49-7895, dated July 21, 2006,
specifies procedures for, among other actions, re-identifying affected
APU scroll housing assemblies. While Honeywell distributes this
document, Aeronamic develops the technical content.
    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 ADDRESSES.

FAA's Determination

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and
service information referenced above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM
after determining that the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in EASA AD 2023-0056 described previously, except for any differences
identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been
coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the
FAA proposes to incorporate EASA AD 2023-0056 by reference in the FAA
final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with
EASA AD 2023-0056 in its entirety through that incorporation, except
for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of
this proposed AD. Using common terms that are the same as the heading
of a particular section in EASA AD 2023-0056 does not mean that
operators need comply only with that section. For example, where the AD
requirement refers to ``all required actions and compliance times,''
compliance with this AD requirement is not limited to the section
titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in EASA AD 2023-
0056. Service information required by EASA AD 2023-0056 for compliance
will be available at regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA-2023-1217
after the FAA final rule is published.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 128 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following
costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
             Labor cost                 Parts cost           Cost per  product          Cost on U.S.  operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to 18 work-hours x $85 per hour =      $1,612,820  Up to $1,614,350...............  (*)
 $1,530 (replace APU).
Up to 20 work-hours x $85 per hour =           3,141  Up to $4,841...................  (*)
 $1,700 (re-identify APU scroll
 housing assembly).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Operators have the option to replace the APU or re-identify the APU scroll housing assembly. Replacement or re-
  identification is only required if an affected part is installed on an airplane. The FAA has no way of knowing
  how many affected parts are installed on U.S.-registered airplanes or which option an operator will choose for
  a given airplane with an affected part. Therefore, the FAA has no definitive data on which to provide a fleet
  cost estimate for the required actions specified in this proposed AD.

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.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA 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) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the

7895, dated July 21, 2006.
    Note 1 to paragraph (h)(3): Honeywell distributes this document;
Aeronamic develops the technical content.

(i) Additional AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Validation Branch, FAA, has the authority to approve
AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR
39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your request to your
principal inspector or responsible Flight Standards Office, as
appropriate. If sending information directly to the International
Validation Branch, send it to the attention of the person identified
in paragraph (j) of this AD. Information may be emailed to: [email protected]. Before using any approved AMOC, notify your
appropriate principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector,
the manager of the responsible Flight Standards Office.
    (2) Contacting the Manufacturer: For any requirement in this AD
to obtain instructions from a manufacturer, the instructions must be
accomplished using a method approved by the Manager, International

Organization Approval (DOA). If approved by the DOA, the approval
must include the DOA-authorized signature.
    (3) Required for Compliance (RC): Except as required by
paragraph (i)(2) of this AD, if any service information contains
procedures or tests that are identified as RC, those procedures and
tests must be done to comply with this AD; any procedures or tests
that are not identified as RC are recommended. Those procedures and
tests that are not identified as RC may be deviated from using
accepted methods in accordance with the operator's

maintenance or inspection program without obtaining approval of an
AMOC, provided the procedures and tests identified as RC can be done
and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy condition. Any
substitutions or changes to procedures or tests identified as RC
require approval of an AMOC.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2309-000]

Jersey Central Power and Light Company, PSEG Fossil, LLC; Notice
of Authorization for Continued Project Operation

    On February 18, 2011, the Jersey Central Power and Light Company
and PSEG Fossil LLC, licensees for the Yards Creek Pumped Storage
Project, filed an Application for a New License pursuant to the Federal
Power Act (FPA) and the Commission's regulations thereunder. The Yards
Creek Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Project is located on Yards Creek,
in the townships of Hardwick and Blairstown, Warren County, New Jersey.
    The license for Project No. 2309 was issued for a period ending
February 28, 2013. Section 15(a)(1) of the FPA, 16 U.S.C. 808(a)(1),
requires the Commission, at the expiration of a license term, to issue
from year-to-year an annual license to the then licensees under the
terms and conditions of the prior license until a new license is
issued, or the project is otherwise disposed of as provided in section
15 or any other applicable section of the FPA. If the project's prior
license waived the applicability of section 15 of the FPA, then, based
on section 9(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 558(c),
and as set forth at 18 CFR 16.21(a), if the licensee of such project
has filed an application for a subsequent license, the licensee may
continue to operate the project in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the license after the minor or minor part license
expires, until the Commission acts on its application. If the licensees
of such a project has not filed an application for a subsequent
license, then it may be required, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b), to
continue project operations until the Commission issues someone else a
license for the project or otherwise orders disposition of the project.
    If the project is subject to section 15 of the FPA, notice is
hereby given that an annual license for Project No. 2309 is issued to
the licensees for a period effective March 1, 2013 through February 28,
2014 or until the issuance of a new license for the project or other
disposition under the FPA, whichever comes first. If issuance of a new
license (or other disposition) does not take place on or before
February 28, 2014, notice is hereby given that, pursuant to 18 CFR
16.18(c), an annual license under section 15(a)(1) of the FPA is
renewed automatically without further order or notice by the
Commission, unless the Commission orders otherwise. If the project is
not subject to section 15 of the FPA, notice is hereby given that the
licensees are authorized to continue operation of the Yards Creek
Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Project, until such time as the Commission
acts on its application for a subsequent license.

    Dated: March 7, 2013.

[Docket No. USCG-2013-0539]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Venetian Fireworks; Kalamazoo Lake, Saugatuck, MI

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on
Kalamazoo Lake in Saugatuck, MI. This safety zone is intended to

and vessels from the hazards associated with the fireworks display.

DATES: This rule is effective from 9 p.m. until 11 p.m. on July 27,
2013.

ADDRESSES: Documents mentioned in this preamble are part of docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Table of Acronyms

DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
TFR Temporary Final Rule

A. Regulatory History and Information

    This annual fireworks display is codified in 33 CFR 165.929(50)
with a display location on the south shore of Lake Kalamazoo. However,
the Coast Guard was informed by the event organizer that this year's
display will take place at a position approximately 1000 feet to the
north, in the middle of Lake Kalamazoo. This temporary final rule
locates a temporary safety zone over the 2013 fireworks launch site.
    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing an NPRM with respect to this rule
because doing so would be impracticable. The final details for this
event were not known to the Coast Guard until there was insufficient
time remaining before the event to publish an NPRM. Thus, delaying the
effective date of this rule to wait for a comment period to run would
be impracticable because it would inhibit the Coast Guard's ability to
protect spectators and vessels from the hazards associated with a
maritime fireworks display, which are discussed further below.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), The Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this temporary rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. For the same reasons discussed in
the preceding paragraph, waiting for a 30 day notice period to run
would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the rule is the Coast Guard's authority to
establish regulated navigation areas and limited access areas: 33
U.S.C. 1231; 46 U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33
CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, 160.5; Public Law 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064;
Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.
    During the evening of July 27, 2013, the Fireworks Fund Committee
in Saugatuck, MI will sponsor a fireworks display from a barge on
Kalamazoo Lake. The Captain of the Port, Lake Michigan, has determined
that this fireworks display will pose a significant risk to public
safety and property. Such hazards include falling debris and potential
collisions among spectator vessels.

C. Discussion of the Final Rule

    With the aforementioned hazards in mind, the Captain of the Port,
Lake Michigan, has determined that this temporary safety zone is
necessary to ensure the safety of spectators and vessels during the
fireworks display on Kalamazoo Lake. This zone will be effective and
enforced from 9 p.m. until 11 p.m. on July 27, 2013. This zone will
encompass all waters of Kalamazoo Lake in Saugatuck, MI within an 800
foot radius of an approximate launch position at 42[deg]39'4.4'' N,
86[deg]12'17.1'' W (NAD 83).
    Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety zone is
prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port, Lake Michigan,
or his designated on-scene representative. The Captain of the Port or
his designated on-scene representative may be contacted via VHF Channel
16.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes and executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders. It is not
``significant'' under the regulatory policies and procedures of the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
    We conclude that this rule is not a significant regulatory action
because we anticipate that it will have minimal impact on the economy,
will not interfere with other agencies, will not adversely alter the
budget of any grant or loan recipients, and will not raise any novel
legal or policy issues. The safety zone created by this rule will be
small and enforced for only one day in July. Under certain conditions,
moreover, vessels may still transit through the safety zone when
permitted by the Captain of the Port.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered the impact of this proposed rule on small entities. The
Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that
this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. This rule will affect the following entities,
some of which might be small entities: The owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit or anchor in a portion of Kalamazoo Lake
on July 27, 2013.
    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the reasons cited in the
Regulatory Planning and Review section. Additionally, before
enforcement of the zone, we will issue a local Broadcast Notice to
Mariners so vessel owners and operators can plan accordingly.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section above.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and determined
that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined
that this action is one of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves the establishment of a safety zone and,
therefore it is categorically excluded from further review under
paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist supporting this determination and a
Categorical Exclusion Determination are available in the docket where
indicated under ADDRESSES.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. PF14-13-000]

Equitrans, L.P.; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental
Assessment for the Planned Ohio Valley Connector Project and Request
for Comments on Environmental Issues

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of the Ohio Valley Connector Project
(Project) involving construction and operation of facilities by
Equitrans, L.P. (EQT) in Wetzel, Marshall, and Marion Counties, West
Virginia, and Monroe County, Ohio. The Commission will use this EA in
its decision-making process to determine whether the Project is in the
public convenience and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies on the Project. Your input will help the Commission staff
determine what issues they need to evaluate in the EA. Please note that
the scoping period will close on September 29, 2014.
    You may submit comments in written form. Further details on how to
submit written comments are in the Public Participation section of this
notice.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this Project. State and local government
representatives should notify their constituents of this proposed
Project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company
representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the planned facilities. The company
would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if
the Commission approves the Project, that approval conveys with it the
right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement negotiations fail to
produce an agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation
proceedings where compensation would be determined in accordance with
state law.
    A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural
Gas Facility on My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' is available for
viewing on the FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov). This fact sheet addresses
a number of typically-asked questions, including the use of eminent
domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings.

Summary of the Proposed Project

    EQT proposes to provide approximately 900,000 dekatherms per day of
new firm transportation capacity from natural gas produced in the
central Appalachian Basin into the systems of Rockies Express Pipeline,
LLC (REX) and Texas Eastern Transmission, LP (TETCO). Construction of
the Project is planned to begin in August 2015 in order to meet the
proposed in-service date of May 2016. The Ohio Valley Connector Project
would include the following facilities:

 34 miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline along with pig \1\
receiving/launching facilities in Wetzel and Marshall Counties, West
Virginia and Monroe County, Ohio that would deliver gas to the proposed
Plasma Compressor Station (the H-310 segment);
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A ``pig'' is a tool that the pipeline company inserts into
and pushes through the pipeline for cleaning the pipeline,
conducting internal inspections, or other purposes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 1.5 miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline, with a pigging
facility, in Monroe County, Ohio from the proposed Plasma Compressor
Station to the existing REX System (the H-311 segment);
 14 miles of 24-inch-diameter loop \2\ along with pig
receiving/launching facilities in Marion and Wetzel Counties, West
Virginia from EQT's existing system to the proposed Corona Compressor
Station (the H-313 segment);
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ A loop is a segment of pipeline constructed parallel to an
existing pipeline that ties into the existing system to increase
capacity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 0.6 mile of 16-inch-diameter discharge pipeline, and pigging
facility, in Wetzel County, West Virginia that would serve as a
discharge line from the proposed Corona Compressor Station (the H-306
segment);
 Construction of two new compressor stations:
    [ssquf] Plasma Compressor Station--installation of two gas-driven
centrifugal compressors in Monroe County, Ohio with a combined 21,000
horsepower (hp) of compression; and
    [ssquf] Corona Compressor Station--installation of one gas-driven
15,000-hp centrifugal compressor in Wetzel County, West Virginia;
 Installation of two new interconnects:
    [ssquf] REX Interconnect--A 100-foot by 200-foot fenced area that
would contain two 8-foot by 12-foot enclosures to house measurement and
gas sampling equipment and other associated aboveground facilities; and
    [ssquf] TETCO Interconnect--Two 8-foot by 12-foot enclosures that
would house measurement and gas sampling equipment, along with other
associated aboveground facilities and a short interconnect, all of
which would be placed within the fenceline of the planned Plasma
Compressor Station; and
 relocation of existing pigging facilities at EQT's Pickenpaw
Meter Station to the eastern terminus of the H-306 pipeline segment
within the proposed Corona Compressor Station and installation of new
pipeline and valves at the Pickenpaw Meter Station.

    Maps depicting the general location of the Project facilities are
included in Appendix 1.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The appendices referenced in this notice are not being
printed in the Federal Register. Copies of appendices were sent to
all those receiving this notice in the mail and are available at
www.ferc.gov using the link called ``eLibrary'' or from the
Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street NE.,
Washington, DC 20426, or call<PHONE_NUMBER>. For instructions on
connecting to eLibrary, refer to the last page of this notice.

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

Land Requirements for Construction

    The planned pipeline construction for the H-310 and H-311 segments
(approximately 71 percent of the pipeline length) would impact
approximately 456 acres of land temporarily and 213 acres permanently.
EQT is still in the planning phase for the Project and construction
workspace requirements for the H-306 and H-313 segments have not been
finalized;

however, operation of these two segments would permanently impact
approximately 87 acres. Impacts associated with the use of additional
temporary workspaces, laydown/contractor yards, and access roads would
temporarily impact a minimum of 229 acres. The Plasma and Corona
Compressor Stations would have a permanent footprint of 5.5 and 3.1
acres, respectively; the workspaces associated with these locations are
still being determined.

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could
result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us
\4\ to discover and address concerns the public may have about
proposals. This process is referred to as ``scoping.'' The main goal of
the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important
environmental issues. By this notice, the Commission requests public
comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EA. We will
consider all filed comments during the preparation of the EA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ ``We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the Commission's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the EA we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of
the construction and operation of the planned Project under these
general headings:
     Geology and soils;
     Water resources;
     Wetlands and vegetation;
     Fish and wildlife;
     Threatened and endangered species;
     Land use, recreation, and visual resources;
     Air quality and noise;
     Cultural resources;
     Socioeconomics;
     Reliability and safety; and
     Cumulative environmental impacts.
    We will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the planned
Project or portions of the Project, and make recommendations on how to
lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    Although no formal application has been filed, we have already
initiated our NEPA review under the Commission's pre-filing process.
The purpose of the pre-filing process is to encourage early involvement
of interested stakeholders and to identify and resolve issues before
the FERC receives an application. As part of our pre-filing review, we
have begun to contact some federal and state agencies to discuss their
involvement in the scoping process and the preparation of the EA.
    The EA will present our independent analysis of the issues. The EA
will be available in the public record through eLibrary. Depending on
the comments received during the scoping process, we may also publish
and distribute the EA to the public for an allotted comment period. We
will consider all comments on the EA before making our recommendations
to the Commission. To ensure we have the opportunity to consider and
address your comments, please carefully follow the instructions in the
Public Participation section on page 5.
    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction by law
and/or special expertise with respect to the environmental issues of
this Project to formally cooperate with us in the preparation of the
EA.\5\ Agencies that would like to request cooperating agency status
should follow the instructions for filing comments provided under the
Public Participation section of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Council on Environmental Quality regulations addressing
cooperating agency responsibilities are at Title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations, Sec.  1501.6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consultations Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act

    In accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
implementing regulations for section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, we are using this notice to initiate consultation
with the applicable State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), and to
solicit their views and those of other government agencies, interested
Indian tribes, and the public on the Project's potential effects on
historic properties.\6\ We will define the Project-specific Area of
Potential Effects (APE) in consultation with the SHPOs as the Project
develops. On natural gas facility projects, the APE at a minimum
encompasses all areas subject to ground disturbance (examples include
construction right-of-way, contractor/pipe storage yards, compressor
stations, and access roads). Our EA for this Project will document our
findings on the impacts on historic properties and summarize the status
of consultations under section 106.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's regulations
are at Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 800. Those
regulations define historic properties as any prehistoric or
historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in
or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic
Places.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Environmental Mailing List

    The environmental mailing list includes federal, state, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American Tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. This list also
includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission's
regulations) who are potential right-of-way grantors, whose property
may be used temporarily for

Project purposes, or who own homes within certain distances of
aboveground facilities, and anyone who submits comments on the Project.
We will update the environmental mailing list as the analysis proceeds
to ensure that we send the information related to this environmental
review to all individuals, organizations, and government entities
interested in and/or potentially affected by the proposed Project.
    If we publish and distribute the EA, copies will be sent to the
environmental mailing list for public review and comment. If you would
prefer to receive a paper copy of the document instead of the CD
version or would like to remove your name from the mailing list, please
return the attached Information Request (Appendix 2).

Becoming an Intervenor

    Once EQT files its application with the Commission, you may want to
become an ``intervenor'' which is an official party to the Commission's
proceeding. Intervenors play a more formal role in the process and are
able to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be heard by the courts if
they choose to appeal the Commission's final ruling. An intervenor
formally participates in the proceeding by filing a request to
intervene. Instructions for becoming an intervenor are in the User's
Guide under the ``e-filing'' link on the Commission's Web site. Please
note that the Commission will not accept requests for intervenor status
at this time. You must wait until the Commission receives a formal
application for the project.

Additional Information

    Additional information about the Project is available from the
Commission's Office of External Affairs, at (866) 208-FERC, or on the
FERC Web site at www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Click on the
eLibrary link, click on ``General Search'' and enter the docket number,
excluding the last three digits in the Docket Number field (i.e., PF14-
13). Be sure you have selected an appropriate date range. For
