You may review a Privacy Act notice regarding our public dockets in the January 17, 2008, issue of the Federal Register (73 FR 3316). Public meeting: We do not now plan to hold a public meeting. But you may submit a request for one, using one of the methods specified under ADDRESSES. Please explain why you believe a public meeting would be beneficial. If, based on requests or comments received, the Coast Guard determines that a public meeting would aid this evaluation and subsequent recommendation, we will hold one at a time and place announced by a later notice in the Federal Register. Basis and Purpose Under 33 CFR 127.007, an owner or operator planning new construction to expand or modify marine terminal operations in an existing facility handling LNG or LHG, where the construction, expansion, or modification would result in an increase in the size and/or frequency of LNG or LHG marine traffic on the waterway associated with a proposed facility or modification to an existing facility, must submit an LOI to the Captain of the Port (COTP) of the zone in which the facility is or will be located. Under 33 CFR 127.009, after receiving an LOI, the COTP issues a Letter of Recommendation (LOR) as to the suitability of the waterway for LNG or LHG marine traffic to the appropriate jurisdictional authorities. The LOR is based on a series of factors outlined in 33 CFR 127.009 that relate to the physical nature of the affected waterway and issues of safety and security associated with LNG or LHG marine traffic on the affected waterway. The purpose of this notice is to solicit public comments on the two separate proposed construction and expansion projects related to existing LHG facilities as submitted by ITC and Vopak in Houston, Texas. Input from the public may be useful to the COTP with respect to developing the LOR. The Coast Guard requests comments to help assess the suitability of the associated waterway for increased LHG marine traffic as it relates to navigation, safety, and security. On January 24, 2011, the Coast Guard published Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) 01–2011, ‘‘Guidance Related to Waterfront Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Facilities.’’ NVIC 01–2011 provides guidance for VerDate Mar<15>2010 20:14 Feb 03, 2014 Jkt 232001 owners and operators seeking approval to construct and operate LNG facilities. While NVIC 01–2011 is specific to LNG, it provides useful process information and guidance for owners and operators seeking approval to construct and operate or expand LHG facilities as well. The Coast Guard will refer to NVIC 01– 2011 for process information and guidance in evaluating the two projects included in the LOI and WSA submitted by ITC and Vopak. A copy of NVIC 01– 2011 is available for viewing in the public docket for this notice and also on the Coast Guard’s Web site at https:// www.uscg.mil/hq/cg5/nvic/2010s.asp. This notice is issued under authority of 33 U.S.C. §§ 1223–1225, Department of Homeland Security Delegation Number 0170.1(70), 33 CFR 127.009, and 33 CFR 103.205. Dated: December 31, 2013. B.K.
