the Privacy and Use Notice that is
available on the FDMS Web site and the
Department of Transportation Privacy
Act Notice that appeared in the Federal
Register on April 11, 2000 (65 FR
19477) (see Privacy Act). You may view
docket submissions at the Department of
Transportation Docket Management
Facility or electronically on the FDMS
Web site (see ADDRESSES).
Background
The Notice of Intent To Prepare a
Supplemental EIS for the proposed
action was published in the Federal
Register at 74 FR 39136, August 5, 2009
and the Draft Supplemental EIS was
published in the Federal Register at 74
FR 60310, November 20, 2009. The Draft
and Final Supplemental EIS,
application materials and associated
comments are available on the docket at
https://www.regulations.gov under
docket number USCG–2006–24644.
Information from the ‘‘Summary of the
Application’’ from previous Federal
Register notices is included below for
your convenience.
Proposed Action and Alternatives
The proposed action requiring
environmental review is the Federal
licensing of the proposed deepwater
port described in the ‘‘Summary of the
Application’’ below. The alternatives to
approving and licensing the proposed
port are: (1) Approving and licensing
with conditions (including conditions
designed to mitigate environmental
impact), or (2) denying the application,
which for purposes of environmental
review is the ‘‘no-action’’ alternative.
These alternatives are more fully
discussed in the FSEIS. The Maritime
Administration and the U.S. Coast
Guard are the lead Federal agencies for
the preparation of the Supplemental
EIS. You may address any questions
about the proposed action or the FSEIS
to the Maritime Administration project
manager or the U.S. Coast Guard project
manager, both are identified in FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

Summary of the Application
TORP Terminal LP proposes to own,
construct, and operate a deepwater port,
the Bienville Offshore Energy Terminal
(BOET), in the Federal waters of the
Outer Continental Shelf on Main Pass
block MP 258, located approximately 63
miles south of Mobile Point, Alabama,
in a water depth of approximately 425
feet. The proposed BOET deepwater
port would be capable of mooring a
single LNG carrier (LNGC) of up to
approximately 265,000 cubic meters
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
(m3) (8.8 million cubic feet [ft3]) in
capacity.
The LNGC would be off-loaded using
a HiLoad LNG off-loading and
regasification unit (HiLoad), which is
proprietary technology consisting of a
remotely operated floating LNG transfer
and regasification unit that connects to
the hull of the LNGC. The HiLoad unit
would regasify the LNG and deliver the
gas via flexible gas pipes to the floating
regasification unit (FRU) located
approximately 300 meters (984 ft) from
the HiLoad unit. Ambient air vaporizers
(AAVs) with methanol as an
intermediate fluid (IF) would be located
aboard the FRU and would provide the
heat required to regasify the LNG as part
of a closed-loop vaporization system
design.
At the FRU, the gas would be metered
and sent out via interconnect pipelines
to four existing offshore pipelines
(Dauphin Natural Gas Pipeline,
Williams Natural Gas Pipeline, Destin
Natural Gas Pipeline, and Viosca Knoll
Gathering System [VKGS] Gas Pipeline)
that connect to the onshore natural gas
transmission pipeline system. Natural
gas would be delivered to customers
through existing facilities. BOET would
have an average throughput capacity of
1.2 billion standard cubic feet of gas per
day (Bscfd) (33.9 million cubic meters of
gas per day [m3/day]).
BOET’s major components would
include a turret mooring system (TMS),
a FRU, a HiLoad unit, two mooring lines
that connect the HiLoad to the FRU, two
high pressure (HP) flexible gas pipes,
two floating IF hoses, two umbilicals,
and 22.7 mi (36. km) of new subsea
pipelines.
No new onshore pipelines or LNG
storage facilities are proposed as part of
the construction and operation of BOET.
A shore-based facility will be used to
facilitate movement of personnel,
equipment, supplies, and disposable
materials between the terminal and
shore.
BOET will require permits from the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
pursuant to the provisions of the Clean
Air Act, as amended, and the Clean
Water Act, as amended.
Should a license be issued,
construction of the deepwater port
would be expected to take thirty (30)
months, with startup of commercial
operations anticipated for 2014. The
deepwater port, if licensed, would be
designed, constructed, and operated in
accordance with applicable codes and
standards and would have an expected
operating life of approximately 25 years.

Background: Beginning in 2006, the
FAA asked the International Aircraft
Systems Fire Protection Working Group
(IASFPWG) to draft a revision to the
current AC 20–42C, issued on March
1984, by incorporating updated
guidance for the fire-fighting
effectiveness, selection, location,
mounting and safe-use of hand fire
extinguishers in aircraft. The proposed
AC also identifies three FAA approved
replacement agents for Halon 1211 and
establishes an FAA approved minimum
performance standard (MPS) for halon
replacement agents which includes a
hidden fire test and a seat fire/toxicity
test. We also recommend that users of
halon extinguishers transition to using
these new halocarbon clean replacement
agents in hand-held fire extinguishers.
The AC also explains how to gain
