Download as PDF jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 232 / Tuesday, December 2, 2008 / Notices rights-of-way and appurtenances (Facilities). Columbia Gulf states that the Facilities consist of approximately 16.3 miles of 6-inch pipeline and appurtenances; and Measuring Station Number 683 and appurtenances. Columbia Gulf states that the only services currently being provided through the Facilities and the service for which Columbia Gulf seeks abandonment approval are currently provided to Texon L.P. and Louis Dreyfus Energy Services, LP. Columbia Gulf asserts that it does not propose abandonment of service to either customer and Petroleum Fuels has agreed to assume any obligation that Columbia Gulf may have to provide service to customers receiving service through the Facilities. Columbia Gulf states that retaining the Facilities is inconsistent with its primary business of transporting natural gas onshore; the Facilities are no longer an integral part of its onshore transmission system; the abandonment will reduce its current operation and maintenance expense, as well as eliminate future capital expenditures for repair or replacement of the Facilities; and the needs of its current and future customers can better be serviced through a divesture of these offshore facilities. Columbia Gulf asserts that the Facilities will be sold for a negotiated amount of $3 million. Any questions regarding the application should be directed to Fredric J. George, Lead Counsel, Columbia Gulf Transmission Company, PO Box 1273, Charleston, West Virginia 25325–1273, at (304) 357–2359. Any person may, within 60 days after the issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission’s Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to intervene or notice of intervention. Any person filing to intervene or the Commission’s staff may, pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission’s regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.205) file a protest to the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day after the time allowed for protest. If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for authorization pursuant to section 7 of the NGA. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, protests, and interventions via the internet in lieu of paper.

ACTION: Notice of Availability. AGENCY: SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of EPA’s response to public comments concerning EPA’s July 17, 2008 public notice announcing the availability of EPA’s decision to add Corpus Christi Bay (Segment 2481) to the Texas 2008 section 303(d) list. On July 17, 2008 EPA published a notice in the Federal Register at 73 FR 41069 providing the public the opportunity to review its decision to add Corpus Christi Bay to the Texas 2008 section 303(d) list as required by EPA’s public participation regulations (40 CFR part 25). Based on its review of public comments received in response to this public notice, EPA has decided to maintain the listing of Corpus Christi Bay on the State’s 303(d) list but has amended the scope of the listing to geographically define the impairment as restricted to only the Ropes Park and Cole Park Beach portions of Corpus Christi Bay as presently delineated by the Texas Beach Watch Program. Likewise, EPA has re-categorized the listing of the Ropes Park and Cole Park Beach portions of Corpus Christi Bay in category 5c of the State’s integrated report. The basis for these decisions is PO 00000 Frm 00087 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 described in EPA’s response to public comments and EPA’s letter, dated November 12, 2008, to Mr. Mark Vickery, Executive Director, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Copies of EPA’s responsiveness summary: ‘‘EPA Response to Public Comments on EPA’s Decision to Place Corpus Christi Bay on the Texas 303(d) List’’ and the above referenced letter to Mr. Mark Vickery, TCEQ, can be obtained at EPA Region 6’s Web site at https://www.epa.gov/ region6/water/npdes/tmdl/index.htm, or by writing or calling Ms. Diane Smith, Water Quality Protection Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 6, 1445 Ross Ave., Dallas, TX 75202–2733, telephone (214) 665–2145, facsimile (214) 665–6490, or e-mail: smith.diane@epa.gov. Underlying documents from the administrative record for these decisions are available for public inspection at the above address. Please contact Ms. Smith to schedule an inspection. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Diane Smith at (214) 665–2145. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) requires that each state identify those waters for which existing technologybased pollution controls are not stringent enough to attain or maintain state water quality standards. For those waters, states are required to establish Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) according to a priority ranking. EPA’s Water Quality Planning and Management regulations include requirements related to the implementation of section 303(d) of the CWA (40 CFR 130.7). The regulations require states to identify water quality limited waters still requiring TMDLs every two years. The list of waters still needing TMDLs must also include priority rankings and must identify the waters targeted for TMDL development during the next two years (40 CFR 130.7). Consistent with EPA’s regulations, the State of Texas submitted to EPA its 2008 listing decisions pursuant to section 303(d) of the CWA on March 31, 2008. On July 10, 2008, EPA approved Texas’s 2008 listing of 836 water body (assessment unit)-pollutant combinations and associated priority rankings. EPA disapproved Texas’s decision not to list Corpus Christi Bay (Segment 2481). EPA identified this water body and the associated pollutant (bacteria) along with a priority ranking for inclusion on the 2008 section 303(d) List. ADDRESSES: E:\FR\FM\02DEN1.SGM 02DEN1
