SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Receipt of Application On May 8, 2007, the Coast Guard and the Maritime Administration received an application from Atlantic Sea Island Group LLC (ASIG), Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Avenue, 26th Floor, New York, NY 10174; for all Federal authorizations required for a license to own, construct, and operate a deepwater port governed by the Deepwater Port PO 00000 Frm 00060 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 49041 Act of 1974, as amended, 33 U.S.C. 1501 et seq. (the Act). On August 15, 2007, we determined that the application appears to contain all information required by the Act. Background According to the Act, a deepwater port is a fixed or floating manmade structure other than a vessel, or a group of structures, located beyond State seaward boundaries and used or intended for use as a port or terminal for the transportation, storage, and further handling of oil or natural gas for transportation to any State. A deepwater port must be licensed by the Maritime Administrator (by delegated authority of the Secretary of Transportation, published on June 18, 2003 (68 FR 36496)). Statutory and regulatory requirements for licensing appear in 33 U.S.C. 1501 et seq. and in 33 CFR part 148. Under delegations from and agreements between the Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of Homeland Security, applications are processed by the Coast Guard and the Maritime Administration. Each application is considered on its merits. The Act requires adherence to a strict timeline for processing an application. Once we determine that an application contains the required information, we must hold public hearings on the application within 240 days, and the Maritime Administrator must render a decision on the application within 330 days. We will publish additional Federal Register notices to inform you of these public hearings and other procedural milestones, including environmental review. The Maritime Administrator’s decision, and other key documents, will be filed in the public docket. At least one public hearing must take place in each adjacent coastal State. For purposes of the Act, New York is the adjacent coastal State for this application. Other States can apply for adjacent coastal State status in accordance with 33 U.S.C. 1508(a)(2). Summary of the Application Atlantic Sea Island Group LLC (ASIG), proposes to own, construct, and operate a deepwater port, named Safe Harbor Energy, in the Federal waters of the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf in the area known as the New York Bight region in MMS lease area NK18–12 block 6655. The proposed location is approximately 13.5 miles south of the City of Long Beach on Long Island and 23 miles southeast of New York Harbor entrance, in an area between the Ambrose-to-Nantucket and Hudson E:\FR\FM\27AUN1.SGM 27AUN1
