Supplementary Information/
Background
Proposed Action
We published a notice of intent to
prepare an EIS for the Proposed Beacon
Port Deepwater Port at 71 FR 33916,
June 10, 2005 and we announced the
availability of the Draft EIS at 71 FR
11216, March 6, 2006. The proposed
action requiring environmental review
is the Federal licensing of the proposed
Deepwater Port described in ‘‘Summary
of the Application’’ below, which is
reprinted from previous Federal
Register notices in this docket.
Alternatives to the Proposed Action
The alternatives to licensing are: (1)
Licensing with conditions (including
conditions designed to mitigate
environmental impact), and (2) denying
the application, which for purposes of
environmental review is the ‘‘no-action’’
alternative. These alternatives are more
fully discussed in the FEIS.
Summary of the Application
The application described a
Deepwater Port terminal to be located
outside State waters in the Gulf of
Mexico on the U.S. Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS). Beacon Port would consist
of a Main Terminal, Riser Platform, and
connecting pipelines. The Main
Terminal would be located
approximately 50 miles (80 km) off the
coast, east-southeast of Galveston, TX
(approximately 45 miles [72 km] south
of High Island, TX) in OCS lease block
High Island Area 27 (HIA 27). The Riser
Platform would be located
approximately 29 miles off the coast
south-southeast of Johnson’s Bayou, LA
(approximately 27 miles south of Holly
Beach, LA) in OCS lease block West
Cameron 167 (WC 167). Beacon Port
would serve as an LNG receiving,
storage, and regasification facility. The
Main Terminal would be located in
water depth of approximately 65 feet (20
m).
The Beacon Port Main Terminal
would include: two concrete Gravity
Based Structures (GBS) that would
contain the LNG storage tanks, LNG
carrier berthing provisions, LNG
unloading arms, low and high pressure
pumps, vaporizers, metering, utility
systems, general facilities and
accommodations. The Main Terminal
would be able to receive LNG carriers
PO 00000

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
with cargo capacities of up to 253,000
cubic meters. LNG carrier arrival
frequency would be planned to match
specified terminal gas delivery rates.
The terminal would have storage
capacity for up to 300,000 cubic meters
of LNG (150,000 cubic meters per tank)
on site.
Regasification of LNG would be
accomplished through the use of open
rack vaporizers (ORVs). In normal
operation, four pumps would operate
with a combined flow rate of
approximately 167.5 million gallons of
sea water per day (26,400 m3/hr). At
peak operation, five pumps would
operate with a combined total flow rate
of approximately 203 million gallons of
sea water per day (32,000 m3/hr).
Beacon Port proposed the installation
of approximately 46 miles of offshore
natural gas transmission pipeline on the
OCS. A 42-inch diameter pipeline
would connect the Main Terminal with
the Riser Platform. Three additional
pipelines (24-inch, 20-inch, and 12.75inch diameter) were proposed to
connect the Riser Platform with existing
gas distribution pipelines in the WC 167
OCS block. The deepwater port would
be designed to handle an average
delivery of approximately 1.5 billion
standard cubic feet per day (Bscfd) with
a peak delivery of approximately 1.8
Bscfd.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
With head
and brain injury still a major factor in
frontal crashes, NHTSA has identified a
need to determine specific injury
mechanisms and create more predictive
injury criteria. The chief purpose of this
Symposium is to hear the opinions, on
an individual basis, of experts on
short-, mid-, and long-term research
efforts that may be relevant to the
establishment of advanced brain/head
injury criteria. Distinguished
researchers engaged in the area of brain
injury biomechanics will make
presentations on their latest research
efforts during the first day of the
Symposium. The second day will be
devoted to roundtable discussions of
specific subjects such as injury
mechanisms, crash dummy
development, and future research
including computer modeling. NHTSA
will post a summary of the information
presented during the Symposium on its
website and place all relevant materials
in the docket. It is anticipated that
representatives of industry, academia,
and the government from North
America, Europe, and Asia will
participate in the Symposium.
The meeting will be open to the
public with advanced registration on a
space-available basis. Individuals
wishing to register must provide their
name, affiliation, phone number and email address to Erik Takhounts (contact
information identified above) no later
than December 1st, 2006. To the extent
time permits, the public may make
statements during the meeting, and file
written statements with NHTSA for its
consideration. The meeting will be held
at a site accessible to individuals with
disabilities. Individuals who require
accommodations such as sign language
interpreters should contact Erik
Takhounts by February 1, 2007.
An agenda will be posted on
NHTSA’s Web site at: https://
www.nhtsa.dot.gov and placed in the
meeting docket at a later date. Meeting
minutes and other information received
by NHTSA at the Symposium also will
be available on NHTSA’s Web site and
