Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 14 / Tuesday, January 22, 2013 / Notices
not needed to meet domestic demand
for natural gas.4
Eni USA Gas Marketing states that in
its existing authorization to export
foreign-sourced LNG granted in DOE/FE
Order No. 2923, FE noted that the ‘‘U.S.
consumers presently have access to
substantial quantities of natural gas
sufficient to meet domestic demand
from multiple other sources at
competitive prices without drawing on
the LNG which Eni USA Gas Marketing
seeks to export.’’ 5 Eni USA Gas
Marketing asserts that the relevant
circumstances have not changed in the
nearly two years since that finding and
provides a detailed discussion of the
public interest standard in the
Application and states that the
requested authorization is consistent
with the public interest and the
Application should be granted.
Environmental Impact
Eni USA Gas Marketing states that no
new facilities or modifications to any
existing facilities at the Cameron
Terminal would be required in order for
Eni USA Gas Marketing to export LNG
from that facility. Eni USA Gas
Marketing asserts that exports of LNG
from the Cameron Terminal also would
not increase the number of LNG carriers
that the Cameron Terminal is designed
and authorized to accommodate.
Finally, Eni USA Gas Marketing states
that granting this application will not
constitute a federal action significantly
affecting the human environment within
the meaning of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq., and accordingly,
approval of this Application would not
require an environmental impact
statement or environmental assessment.
DOE/FE Evaluation
This export Application will be
reviewed pursuant to section 3 of the
NGA, as amended, and the authority
contained in DOE Delegation Order No.
00–002.00L (April 29, 2011) and DOE
Redelegation Order No. 00–002.04E
(April 29, 2011). In reviewing this LNG
export Application, DOE will consider
domestic need for the natural gas, as
well as any other issues determined to
be appropriate, including whether the
arrangement is consistent with DOE’s
policy of promoting competition in the
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with

parties to freely negotiate their own
trade arrangements. Persons that may
oppose this Application should
comment in their responses on these
issues.
The National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.,
requires DOE to give appropriate
consideration to the environmental
effects of its proposed decisions. No
final decision will be issued in this
proceeding until DOE has met its NEPA
responsibilities.
Public Comment Procedures
In response to this notice, any person
may file a protest, comments, or a
motion to intervene or notice of
intervention, as applicable. Any person
wishing to become a party to the
proceeding must file a motion to
intervene or notice of intervention, as
applicable. The filing of comments or a
protest with respect to the Application
will not serve to make the commenter or
protestant a party to the proceeding,
although protests and comments
received from persons who are not
parties will be considered in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken on the Application. All protests,
comments, motions to intervene or
notices of intervention must meet the
requirements specified by the
regulations in 10 CFR part 590. The
information contained in any filing will
not be held confidential and will be
posted to DOE’s public Web site except
to the extent confidential treatment is
requested and granted.
Filings may be submitted using one of
the following methods: (1) Emailing the
filing to fergas@hq.doe.gov, with FE
Docket No. 12–161–LNG in the title
line; (2) mailing an original and three
paper copies of the filing to the Office
of Oil and Gas Global Security and
Supply at the address listed in
ADDRESSES; or (3) hand delivering an
original and three paper copies of the
filing to the Office of Oil and Gas Global
Security and Supply at the address
listed in ADDRESSES.
A decisional record on the
Application will be developed through
responses to this notice by parties,
including the parties’ written comments
and replies thereto. Additional
procedures will be used as necessary to
achieve a complete understanding of the
facts and issues. A party seeking
intervention may request that additional
procedures be provided, such as

additional written comments, an oral
presentation, a conference, or trial-type
hearing. Any request to file additional
written comments should explain why
they are necessary. Any request for an
oral presentation should identify the
substantial question of fact, law, or
policy at issue, show that it is material
and relevant to a decision in the
proceeding, and demonstrate why an
oral presentation is needed. Any request
for a conference should demonstrate
why the conference would materially
advance the proceeding. Any request for
a trial-type hearing must show that there
are factual issues genuinely in dispute
that are relevant and material to a
decision and that a trial-type hearing is
necessary for a full and true disclosure
of the facts.
If an additional procedure is
scheduled, notice will be provided to all
parties. If no party requests additional
procedures, a final Opinion and Order
may be issued based on the official
record, including the Application and
responses filed by parties pursuant to

AGENCY:
ACTION:
On September 28, 2012 the
Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board
submitted Recommendation 2012–2,
concerning Hanford Tank Farms
Flammable Gas Safety Strategy, to the
Department of Energy. In accordance
with section 315(b) of the Atomic
Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 42
U.S.C. 2286d(b), the following
represents the Secretary of Energy’s
response to the Recommendation.

The Honorable Peter S. Winokur
Chairman
Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board
625 Indiana Avenue NW, Suite 700
Washington, DC 20004
Dear Mr. Chairman:
The Department of Energy (DOE)
acknowledges receipt of Defense
Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (Board)
Recommendation 2012–2, Hanford
Tank Farms Flammable Gas Safety
Strategy, issued on September 28, 2012,
published in the Federal Register on
October 12, 2012, and accepts the
Recommendation.
The Board acknowledged in its
Recommendation that some
improvements had been made to the
specific administrative controls used for
flammable gas monitoring, but noted
that more work was needed to make the
ventilation system a credited safety

control. DOE agrees. In developing an
Implementation Plan (IP), DOE will take
the pragmatic and graded approach
detailed below to address the sub
recommendations that will significantly
improve the robustness of flammable
gas controls in the near term. DOE is
confident this is the most expeditious
approach to implement a more robust
safety control for Double Shell Tank
(DST) ventilation monitoring consistent
with the intent of Recommendation
2012–2.
DOE’s approach to addressing sub
recommendations 1 and 2 will be
divided into the following 3 phases:
• Phase 1 will be to complete
implementing the DOE-approved
Documented Safety Analysis by January
2013. This will include supplementing
the flammable gas monitoring control
with a new control that will measure
ventilation flow through each tank on a
periodic basis. This Documented Safety
Analysis will establish priorities for
DST primary tank ventilation system
maintenance, commensurate with the
importance of maintaining active
ventilation on these tanks.
• Phase 2 will be to install initial
safety-significant instrumentation for
real-time monitoring of the ventilation
exhaust flow from each DST that will
not involve confined-space, radiological
pit entry for data collection as is
currently required. At this point, a
robust safety-significant engineered
control will be in place to provide exact
flow measurement through each tank in
real-time.
• Phase 3 will be to refine the tank
flow real-time monitoring to make the
monitoring data available at remote
locations.
Remaining actions associated with
sub recommendations 3 through 5 to
reduce the potential hazards posed by
gas release events will also be identified
in the IP and will address:
• Restoring and upgrading existing
installed non-safety-related equipment
being used to fulfill safety functions at
the Hanford Tank Farms to the
appropriate safety classification.
• Implementing compensatory
measures in the event of DST
ventilation systems become unavailable.
• Evaluating the means to reduce
flammable gases retained in the DST
waste.
DOE is committed to the safe
operation of its nuclear facilities
consistent with the principles of
Integrated Safety Management and the
Department’s nuclear safety
requirements. DOE values the Board’s
input on how the Department can
improve its activities. We look forward
to working with the Board and its staff
PO 00000

Recommendation. He can be reached at

Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission
[Project No. 12690–005]
Public Utility District No. 1 of
Snohomish County, WA; Notice of
Availability of Environmental
Assessment
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission’s (Commission or FERC’s)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No.
486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy
Projects reviewed the Public Utility
District No. 1 of Snohomish County,
Washington’s (Snohomish PUD)
application for a 10-year pilot license
for the proposed Admiralty Inlet Tidal
Project No. 12690, which would be
located in Admiralty Inlet in Puget
Sound, near the City of Port Townsend,
in Island County, Washington, and has
prepared an environmental assessment
(EA) in cooperation with the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE/EA–1949).
In the EA, Commission staff analyzed
the potential environmental effects of
constructing and operating the project
and concludes that licensing the project,
with appropriate environmental
protective measures, would not
constitute a major federal action that
would significantly affect the quality of
the human environment.
A copy of the EA is available for
review at the Commission in the Public
Reference Room or may be viewed on
the Commission’s Web site at
www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.
