Download as PDF cprice-sewell on PROD1PC69 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 99 / Wednesday, May 21, 2008 / Notices regarding compliance with the implementing regulations. This request is for approval of reporting and recordkeeping requirements contained in the attached proposed regulations related to the TEACH Grant administrative requirements for the Title IV, HEA programs. The information collection requirements in these proposed regulations are necessary to determine eligibility to receive program benefits and to prevent fraud and abuse of program funds. Additional Information: The U.S. Department of Education (the Department) requests that OMB grant an emergency clearance of the proposed regulations governing the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant Program. Sections 420L through 420O of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, (the HEA) provides for TEACH Grants to eligible students at eligible and participating institutions of higher education. The TEACH Grant Program was established under the HEA by the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007 (the CCRAA). In accordance with section 420O of the CCRAA, the effective date for the TEACH Grant Program is July 1, 2008. The Department is requesting an emergency clearance of these TEACH Grant regulations because the regular clearance process would not enable us to make an OMB-approved TEACH Grant available to participants by the statutory effective date for the TEACH Grant Program. The Department requests emergency clearance of the proposed regulations by June 12, 2008, in order to obtain an OMB Control Number to be used in the TEACH Grant Final Regulations which are being prepared for submission.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Office of International Regimes and Agreements; Proposed Subsequent Arrangement Department of Energy. Notice of proposed subsequent arrangement. AGENCY: ACTION: SUMMARY: This notice is being issued under the authority of Section 131 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2160). The Department is providing notice of a proposed ‘‘subsequent arrangement’’ under the Agreement for Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy between the United States and Argentina. This subsequent arrangement requests to downblend material subject to an earlier subsequent arrangement— published in the Federal Register July 9, 2004 (69 FR 41460)—to a different level than previously approved. Under the 2004 subsequent arrangement, Comision Nacional de Energia Atomica (CNEA) was approved to downblend material from 89.79% enriched into lowenriched uranium (LEU). Under a contract with DOE’s Global Threat Reduction Initiative program, CNEA has submitted the attached request to downblend 304 g of that material to 58% weight of isotope U235 rather than to LEU as originally approved. The material will be fabricated into test plates in Argentina and sent to Idaho National Laboratory for testing and irradiation. The material will remain in the United States after irradiation. In accordance with Section 131 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, we have determined that this subsequent arrangement will not be inimical to the common defense and security. This subsequent arrangement will take effect no sooner than fifteen days after the date of publication of this notice.

A party must submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the proceeding. However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have comments considered.

The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will address the environmental impacts of the Fort Necessity Gas Storage Project (project) proposed by Atmos Pipeline and Storage, LLC (Atmos). The Commission will use the EA in its decision-making process to determine whether or not to authorize the project. This notice explains the scoping process the Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested agencies on the project. Your input will help us determine the issues that need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note that the scoping period will close on June 13, 2008. This notice is being sent to affected landowners; federal, state, and local government agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes; other interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. We encourage government representatives 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 an Atmos representative about the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed project facilities. The pipeline company PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if the project is approved by the FERC, 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 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 Internet Web site (https:// 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 FERC’s proceedings. Atmos proposes to develop a natural gas storage facility within the Fort Necessity salt dome near Winnsboro, Franklin Parish, Louisiana. The proposed storage design would have the capacity to store 15 Bcf of working gas and 9.75 Bcf of cushion gas, an average daily injection rate of 375 MMscfd, a maximum daily injection rate of 500 MMscfd, and a maximum daily withdrawal rate of 750 MMscfd. Project facilities would also include interconnections to existing interstate natural gas transmission systems. The proposed project includes: • A new natural gas storage facility consisting of three 7.1 million barrel, or 8.25 billion cubic feet (Bcf), each with a cavern well and well pad; • A 42,300 horsepower (hp) compressor station consisting of nine 4,700 hp reciprocating compressors (five would be driven by electric motors and four would be driven by natural gas motors with emission controls), and ancillary facilities; • And electric substation; • A dehydration facility rated for 500 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd); • A leaching plant with associated pumps, tanks, and piping; • About 0.02 mile of 24-inchdiameter interconnecting gas pipeline and a metering station to tie into an existing 30-inch-diameter Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TGP) pipeline; • About 0.9 mile of 36-inch-diameter interconnecting gas pipeline and a metering station to tie into the existing 30- and 36-inch-diameter Columbia Gulf Transmission (CGT) pipelines; • About 6.5 miles of 30-inch-diameter interconnecting gas pipeline and a metering station to tie into the existing 30- and 36-inch-diameter ANR Pipeline Company (ANR) pipeline; E:\FR\FM\21MYN1.SGM 21MYN1
