This notice announces EPA's receipt of applications requesting experimental use permits (EUPs). The Agency has determined that the permits may be of regional and national significance.

The Federal Transit Administration is withdrawing its September 13, 2011, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to revise the agency's project management oversight regulations, in light of the recent, fundamental changes to the statutes that authorize the discretionary and formula capital programs at 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53. Given the repeal of the Fixed Guideway Modernization program, the creation of the Core Capacity Improvement and State of Good Repair programs, and the streamlining of the New Starts and Small Starts project development process, FTA must re-examine its proposed definition of major capital project and its policy and procedure for risk assessment. Also, the agency must develop policy and regulatory proposals for addressing several explicit directives in the new surface transportation authorization statute, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (``MAP-21''). FTA will reinitiate a rulemaking for project management oversight in the near future. Additionally, FTA may seek to set policy on major capital projects through public notice-and- comment, and provide technical assistance through guidance.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) of the Department of Homeland Security will be submitting the following information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act: Application to Establish a Centralized Examination Station. This is a proposed extension of an information collection that was previously approved. CBP is proposing that this information collection be extended with no change to the burden hours. This document is published to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. This information collection was previously published in the Federal Register (78 FR 2416) on January 11, 2013, allowing for a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.10.

The Secretary also proposes to extend project periods for one year or longer.

EPA is proposing to disapprove a narrow portion of a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of West Virginia on August 31, 2011. EPA is proposing this action because a narrow portion of the submittal does not satisfy the Federal requirement for the inclusion of condensable emissions of particulate matter (condensables) within the definition of ``regulated new source review (NSR) pollutant.'' Additionally, because West Virginia's August 31, 2011 SIP revision does not adequately account for condensable emissions within the definition of ``regulated NSR pollutant,'' EPA is also proposing to disapprove specific Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) portions of related infrastructure submissions required by the Clean Air Act (CAA) to implement, maintain, and enforce the 1997 fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS, and the 2008 lead and ozone NAAQS. This action is being taken under the CAA.

Before doing so, EPA is soliciting public comments on specific aspects of the proposed information collection as described below.

The purpose of this notice is to inform the public that the Department of State (the Department) will be preparing a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed Enbridge Energy, Limited Partnership, Line 67 Capacity Expansion Project. Under E.O. 13337, the Secretary of State is authorized to issue Presidential Permits for the construction, connection, operation, or maintenance at the borders of the United States, of facilities for the exportation or importation of liquid petroleum, petroleum products, or other non- gaseous fuels to or from a foreign country. Enbridge Energy (Enbridge) has applied to the Department for an amendment to their current Presidential Permit authorizing it to operate at a higher capacity the existing crude oil pipeline (known as ``Line 67''). To approve the amendment, the Department of State must find that issuance would serve the national interest. In the course of processing such applications, the Department consults extensively with concerned Federal and State agencies, and invites public comment in arriving at its determination. The Department issued a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) on June 5, 2009, as part of its review of the initial Presidential Permit application for Line 67. On August 3, 2009, the Department issued a Presidential Permit authorizing the construction, operation and maintenance of facilities at the U.S.-Canada border for Line 67 (known at the time of permit issuance as the ``Alberta Clipper'' pipeline). Enbridge completed construction of Line 67 in 2010 pursuant to the original Presidential Permit issued by the Department. Line 67 is currently fully operational, transporting 450,000 to 500,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil across the border from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin to Enbridge's terminal located in Superior, Wisconsin. From there, the material is shipped to various markets in the United States and Canada. Enbridge is now proposing to expand the volume transported across the border in the Line 67 Pipeline in order to help address current and future demand by U.S. and Canada refineries for supplies of heavy crude oil from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) (``the Enbridge Energy, Line 67 Expansion Project''). The Department has determined that before determining whether to authorize the proposed higher capacity operation of Line 67 at the U.S. border, it will conduct an environmental review of the Project consistent with the National Environmental Policy Act (``NEPA''). The Department will evaluate the impacts associated with operating Line 67 at its full design capacity of 880,000 bpd. The purpose of this Notice of Intent (NOI) is to inform the public about the proposed action, announce plans for scoping opportunities, invite public participation in the scoping process, and solicit public comments for consideration in establishing the scope and content of the SEIS.

On October 12, 2011, notice was published on page 63341 of the Federal Register (volume 76, number 197) of determinations made by the Department of State pertaining to the exhibition ``The Dead Sea Scrolls: Life and Faith in Biblical Times.'' The referenced notice was corrected on October 19, 2012, by a notice published on pages 64373- 64374 of the Federal Register (volume 77, number 203) to change the exhibition name to ``The Dead Sea Scrolls: Life and Faith in Ancient Times'' and to include additional objects as part of the exhibition. Today's notice is being issued to include an additional object in the exhibition. Notice is hereby given of the following determinations: Pursuant to the authority vested in me by the Act of October 19, 1965 (79 Stat. 985; 22 U.S.C. 2459), Executive Order 12047 of March 27, 1978, the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998 (112 Stat. 2681, et seq.; 22 U.S.C. 6501 note, et seq.), Delegation of Authority No. 234 of October 1, 1999, Delegation of Authority No. 236-3 of August 28, 2000 (and, as appropriate, Delegation of Authority No. 257 of April 15, 2003), I hereby determine that an additional object to be included in the exhibition ``The Dead Sea Scrolls: Life and Faith in Ancient Times,'' imported from abroad for temporary exhibition within the United States, is of cultural significance. The additional object is imported pursuant to loan agreements with the foreign owner or custodian. I also determine that the exhibition or display of the additional exhibit object at the Cincinnati Museum Center, Cincinnati, OH, from on or about March 18, 2013, until on or about April 13, 2013, and at possible additional exhibitions or venues yet to be determined, is in the national interest. I have ordered that Public Notice of these Determinations be published in the Federal Register.
