involve the construction of a new
roadway connecting SR 87S to SR 87N.
The new roadway would vary between
five to eleven miles in length. The
improvement is considered necessary to
provide connectivity for the existing
and projected traffic demand, and to
provide a more direct corridor for
emergency evacuations from the Gulf
Coast.
Alternatives under consideration
include (1) taking no action; (2)
alternative corridors that would provide
for a four-lane rural highway with plans
to build two-lanes initially to be
widened to a four-lane divided rural
facility as needed in the future.
Letters describing the proposed action
and soliciting comments will be sent to
appropriate Federal, State, and local
agencies, and to private organizations
and citizens who have expressed
interest in this proposal. A series of
public meetings will be held between
February, 2010 and June, 2013. In
addition, a public hearing will be held.
Public notice will be given of the time
and place of the meetings and hearing.
The Draft EIS will be made available for
public and agency review and comment.
An informal scoping meeting was held
at the project site on July 29th, 2010.
There are no plans to hold a formal
scoping meeting. Scoping will be
accomplished by use of the Florida
Efficient Transportation Decision
Making Process and a series of meetings
for agencies and the public.
To ensure that the full range of issues
related to the proposed action are
addressed and all significant issues
identified, comments and suggestions
are invited from all interested parties.
Comments or questions concerning this
proposed action and the EIS should be
directed to the FHWA at the address
provided above.

Liquefied Natural Gas Facilities:
Obtaining Approval of Alternative
Vapor-Gas Dispersion Models
Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration,
(PHMSA) DOT.
ACTION: Notice; issuance of advisory
bulletin.
AGENCY:
This advisory bulletin
provides guidance on the requirements
for obtaining approval of alternative
vapor-gas dispersion models under
Subpart B of 49 CFR part 193.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Charles Helm at 405–954–7219 or

SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials
Safety Administration (PHMSA) issues
federal safety standards for siting
liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities.
Those standards require that an operator
or governmental authority control the
activities around an LNG facility to
protect the public from the adverse
effects of thermal radiation and
flammable vapor-gas dispersion. Certain
mathematical models and other
parameters must be used to calculate the
dimensions of these so-called ‘‘exclusion
zones.’’
In the case of vapor-gas dispersion,
two different models may be used where
appropriate: (1) The DEGADIS Dense
Gas Dispersion Model (DEGADIS), an
integral model that simulates the
downwind dispersion of dense gases in
the atmosphere, and (2) FEM3A, a
dispersion model that accounts for
additional cloud dilution which may be
caused by the complex flow patterns
induced by tank and dike structures.
The use of alternative vapor-gas
dispersion models is also permitted, if
those models take into account the same
physical factors as the approved models,
are validated by experimental test data,
and receive the Administrator’s
approval. Conservatism, field testing,
post-testing data evaluation, and
correlative analysis are critical to
satisfying these conditions.
In addition, PHMSA’s federal safety
standards incorporate by reference the
National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) NFPA 59A: Standard for the
Production, Storage, and Handling of
Liquefied Natural Gas. That consensus
