Basis and Purpose

    On July 3, 2011 the Town of Cape Charles will sponsor a fireworks
display on the shoreline of the navigable waters of Cape Charles City
Harbor centered on position 37[deg]15'46.5'' N/076[deg]01'30'' W (NAD
1983). Due to the need to protect mariners and spectators from the
hazards associated with the fireworks display, such as the accidental
discharge of fireworks, dangerous projectiles, and falling hot embers
or other debris, vessel traffic will be temporarily restricted within
420 feet of the fireworks launch site.

Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes establishing a safety zone on specified
waters of the Cape Charles City Harbor within the area bounded by a
420-foot radius circle centered on position 37[deg]15'46.5'' N/
076[deg]01'30'' W (NAD 1983). This safety zone will be established in
the vicinity of Cape Charles, VA from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. on July 3,
2011, with a rain date of July 4, 2011 from 9 p.m. until 10 p.m. In the
interest of public safety, general navigation within the safety zone
will be restricted during the specified date and times. Except for
participants and vessels authorized by the Coast Guard Captain of the
Port or his representative, no person or vessel may enter or remain in
the regulated area.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits
under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under that Order.
    We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. Although this
proposed regulation restricts access to the safety zone, the effect of
this rule will not be significant because: (i) The safety zone will be
in effect for a limited duration; (ii) the zone is of limited size; and
(iii) the Coast Guard will make notifications via maritime advisories
so mariners can adjust their plans accordingly.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this proposed rule would have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed
rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities because the zone will only be in place for a
limited duration, it is limited in size, and maritime advisories will
be issued allowing the mariners to adjust their plans accordingly.
    This proposed rule would affect the following entities, some of
which might be small entities: The owners and operators of vessels
intending to transit or anchor in that portion of Cape Charles Harbor
from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. on July 3, 2011, with a rain date of July 4,
2011 from 9 p.m. until 10 p.m.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.

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 proposed rule so that they can better
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. 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 LT Michael DiPace, Waterways
Management Division Chief, Sector Hampton Roads, Coast Guard; telephone
757-668-5581, e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>The Coast Guard will
not retaliate against small entities that question or complain about
this proposed rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this proposed rule
under that Order and have determined that it does not have implications
for federalism.

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 proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would 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.

Civil Justice Reform

    This proposed 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.

Protection of Children

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

Indian Tribal Governments

    This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would 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.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211,
Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed 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 made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a
category of actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. A preliminary
environmental analysis checklist supporting this determination will be
available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. This proposed
rule involves establishing a safety zone around a fireworks display.
The fireworks are launched from land and the safety zone is intended to
keep mariners away from any debris that may enter the water. We seek
any comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a
significant environmental impact from this proposed rule.

recordkeeping requirements, Security measures, Waterways.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-9909-74-OA]

Request for Nominations of Candidates to the EPA's Clean Air
Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) and EPA's Science Advisory Board
(SAB)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) invites
nominations of scientific experts from a diverse range of disciplines
to be considered for appointment to the Clean Air Scientific Advisory
Committee (CASAC), the Science Advisory Board (SAB) and four SAB
committees described in this notice. Appointments are anticipated to be
filled by the start of Fiscal Year 2015 (October 2015).

DATES: Nominations should be submitted in time to arrive no later than
May 19, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nominators unable to submit
nominations electronically as described below may submit a paper copy
to the Designated Federal Officers for the committees, as identified
below. General inquiries regarding the work of the CASAC and SAB or SAB
committees may also be directed to the designated DFOs.
    Background: Established by statute, the CASAC (42 U.S.C. 7409) and
SAB (42 U.S.C. 4365) are chartered Federal Advisory Committees that
provide independent scientific and technical peer review, consultation,
advice and recommendations directly to the EPA Administrator on the
scientific bases for EPA's actions and programs. Members of the CASAC
and the SAB constitute distinguished bodies of non-EPA scientists,
engineers, economists, and behavioral and social scientists who are
nationally and internationally recognized experts in their respective
fields. Members are appointed by the EPA Administrator for a three-year
term.
    Expertise Sought for CASAC: Established in 1977 under the Clean Air
Act (CAA) Amendments, the chartered CASAC reviews and offers scientific
advice to the EPA Administrator on technical aspects of national
ambient air quality standards for criteria pollutants (ozone;
particulate matter; carbon monoxide; nitrogen oxides; sulfur dioxide;
and lead). As required under the CAA section 109(d), CASAC is composed
of seven members, with at least one member of the National Academy of
Sciences, one physician, and one person representing state air

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP11-50-000]

PetroLogistics Natural Gas Storage Company, LLC; Notice of Intent
To Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Choctaw Hub
Expansion Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues

January 25, 2011.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment that will discuss
the environmental impacts of the Choctaw Hub Expansion Project
involving construction and operation of facilities by PetroLogistics
Natural Gas Storage Company, LLC (PetroLogistics) in Iberville Parish,
Louisiana. This EA will be used by the Commission 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 need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note that
the scoping period will close on February 24, 2011.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and local government
representatives are asked to notify their constituents of this planned
project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, you may be contacted
by a pipeline company representative about the acquisition of an
easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities.
The company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement.
However, if the project is approved by the Commission, 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?'' was attached to the
project notice PetroLogistics provided to landowners. 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.
It is also available for viewing on the FERC Web site (http://www.ferc.gov).

Summary of the Proposed Project

    PetroLogistics proposes to construct the Choctaw Hub Expansion
Project facilities consisting of two converted salt dome caverns and
new pipeline, compression and meter station interconnect facilities.
These facilities would be constructed in or adjacent to PetroLogistics'
existing natural gas storage and pipeline facilities located 4 miles
northwest of the City of Plaquemine in Iberville Parish, Louisiana.
PetroLogistics would operate these high-deliverability, multi-cycle
natural gas storage facilities in order to increase the total working
capacity of the Choctaw Hub from 16 billion cubic feet (bcf) to 33.9
bcf. According to PetroLogistics, this project would increase
PetroLogistics' ability to provide firm and interruptible storage and
hub services in the Gulf Coast region.
    The Choctaw Hub Expansion Project would consist of the following
facilities:
     Conversion, into gas storage caverns, of existing Cavern
No. 28, currently used for commercial brine service and existing Cavern
No. 102, currently used for liquid-ethylene storage service;
     13-mile-long 30-inch-diameter Expansion Header Pipeline
looping PetroLogistics' existing pipelines; \1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A pipeline loop is constructed parallel to an existing
pipeline to increase capacity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     two compressor units totaling 27,000 horsepower at the
existing PetroLogistics Compressor Station;
     0.67-mile-long 30-inch-diameter cavern injection/
withdrawal pipeline (30-Inch Compressor Station Pipeline) from the
proposed Compressor Station Expansion to Cavern 28;
     0.66-mile-long 16-inch-diameter cavern injection/
withdrawal pipeline extending from the 30-Inch Compressor Station
pipeline at Cavern 28 to the well head at Cavern 10;
     300-foot-long 10-inch-diameter cavern injection/withdrawal
pipeline extending from the 30-Inch Compressor Station pipeline to the
existing certificated Cavern 24;
     0.90-mile-long 20-inch-diameter pipeline and expansion of
the Texas Eastern Transmission Company Meter Station Interconnect;
     0.23 acre expansion of the meter station interconnect to
Bridgeline Pipeline Company;
     0.23 acre expansion of the meter station interconnect to
Southern Natural Gas Company;
     meter station interconnects to Florida Gas Transmission
Company, LLC and CrossTex LIG Pipeline Company;
     side valves on the Expansion Header Pipeline for future
lateral interconnects; and
     5.5 acre non-jurisdictional electrical substation and
1,460 feet of overhead conductor lines to increase the existing
electrical service lines to 69 kilovolt amperes supply capability.
    The general location of the project facilities is shown in appendix
1.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 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
http://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

    Construction of the proposed facilities would require disturbance
of 131 acres of land. This total would include 65 acres under existing
permanent easement right-of-way, 17 acres to be added as new permanent
easement (and ownership of aboveground facilities), and 49 acres as
temporary construction

right-of-way that would be restored to previous land use following
construction. PetroLogistics would use a 75-foot-wide construction
right-of-way with a 10 to 40-foot temporary right-of-way width for the
installed pipeline. About 45 percent of the proposed pipelines would
parallel existing pipeline, utility, or road rights-of-way.

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
\3\ 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. All comments
received will be considered during the preparation of the EA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ ``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 proposed project under these
general headings:
     Geology and soils,
     Water resources,
     Wetlands and fisheries,
     Vegetation and wildlife, including migratory birds,
     Threatened and endangered species,
     Land use,
     Cultural resources,
     Air quality and noise,
     Reliability and safety, and
     Cumulative impacts.
    We will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the proposed
project or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to
lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    Our independent analysis of the issues will be presented in the EA.
The EA will be placed in the public record and, depending on the
comments received during the scoping process, may be published and
distributed to the public. A comment period will be allotted if the EA
is published for review. We will consider all comments on the EA before
we make our recommendations to the Commission. To ensure your comments
are considered, please carefully follow the instructions in the Public
Participation section below.
    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction and/or
special expertise with respect to environmental issues to formally
cooperate with us in the preparation of the EA. These agencies may
choose to participate once they have evaluated the proposal relative to
their responsibilities. 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.

Public Participation

    You can make a difference by providing us with your specific
comments or concerns about the project. Your comments should focus on
the potential environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, and
measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts. The more specific
your comments, the more useful they will be. To ensure that your
comments are timely and properly recorded, please send your comments so
that they will be received in Washington, DC on or before February 24,
2011.
    For your convenience, there are three methods which you can use to
submit your comments to the Commission. In all instances please
reference the project docket number (CP11-050-000) with your

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 the EA is published for distribution, 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

    In addition to involvement in the EA scoping process, 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
included in the User's Guide under the ``e-filing'' link on the
Commission's Web site.

    Title: Reformulated Gasoline and Conventional Gasoline:
Requirements for Refiners, Oxygenated Blenders, and Importers of
Gasoline and Requirements for Parties in the Gasoline Distribution
Network (Renewal).
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1591.24, OMB Control No. 2060-0277.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2007.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
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. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Gasoline combustion is the major source of air pollution
in most urban areas. In the 1990 Amendments to the Clean Air Act (Act),
section 211(k), Congress required that gasoline dispensed in nine areas
with severe air quality problems, and areas that opt-in, be
reformulated to reduce toxic and ozone-forming emissions. (Ozone is
also known as smog.) Congress also required that, in the process of
producing reformulated gasoline (RFG), dirty components removed in the
reformulation process not be ``dumped'' into the remainder of the
country's gasoline, known as conventional gasoline (CG). The
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated regulations at 40 CFR
part 80, Subpart D--Reformulated Gasoline, Subpart E--Anti-Dumping, and
Subpart F--Attest Engagements, implementing the statutory requirements,
which include standards for RFG (Sec.  80.41) and CG (Sec.  80.101).
The regulations also contain reporting and recordkeeping requirements
for the production, importation, transport and storage of gasoline, in
order to demonstrate compliance and facilitate compliance and
enforcement.
    The program is run by the Transportation and Regional Programs
Division, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and
Radiation. Enforcement is done by the Air Enforcement Division, Office
of Regulatory Enforcement, Office of Enforcement and Compliance
Assurance. This program excludes California, which has separate
requirements for gasoline.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 2.4
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
