SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard determinations in accordance with Section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a). These proposed flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact stricter requirements of its own, or pursuant to policies established by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These flood hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and are also used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM and FIS report become effective. ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: Correction In the proposed flood hazard determination notice published at 78 FR 48703–48706, in the August 9, 2013, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table titled ‘‘Allegheny County, Pennsylvania (All Jurisdictions)’’. This table included the VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:08 Jun 06, 2014 Jkt 232001 Township of McCandless as one of the communities for which flood hazard changes were being proposed. Following publication in the Federal Register, FEMA learned that the official designation for this community had been changed and the community is now identified as the Town of McCandless. This correction notice provides notification of the change in designation for this community. The official designation of the community provided by this correction notice should be used in lieu of that previously published.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A proposal has been submitted to the BLM to construct, operate, maintain and eventually decommission and reclaim the Riley Ridge to Natrona Project, which consists of two separate right-ofway (ROW) applications: (1) the Riley Ridge Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Pipeline and sweetening plant (WYW–167867); and (2) the Bairoil to Natrona CO2 Pipeline (WYW–168290). Applications for permit to drill will be submitted for two hydrogen sulfide (H2S) injection wells associated with the sweetening plant. The Riley Ridge pipeline segment includes 31 miles of 16-inch pipeline transporting liquid H2S and CO2 from the existing Riley Ridge Treating Plant located 18 miles southwest of Big Piney, Wyoming, southeast to a proposed sweetening plant, a 4.2-acre facility to be located 12 miles northeast of LaBarge, Wyoming, on BLMadministered lands. From the sweetening plant, a 24-inch pipeline would transport liquid CO2 approximately 129 miles east through Sublette County, southeast through northern Sweetwater County, Bush Rim and the Red Desert, and then northeast to the Bairoil Interconnect, located about 50 miles northwest of Rawlins, Wyoming. The proposed H2S injection wells would be located adjacent to the proposed sweetening plant where liquid H2S would be separated from the CO2 stream and injected into a deep geological formation via the injection wells. The Bairoil to Natrona pipeline segment includes 83 miles of 24-inch pipeline transporting liquid CO2 from the Bairoil Interconnect northeast through Fremont and Natrona counties to connect to the existing Greencore CO2 Pipeline at the Natrona Hub, located approximately 30 miles west of Casper, Wyoming. The goals and objectives are to transport liquid CO2 to the existing Greencore CO2 Pipeline to supplement existing supplies, allowing for additional enhanced oil recovery at existing and planned oil fields in Montana and other oil production areas served by the pipeline. VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:08 Jun 06, 2014 Jkt 232001 A 75-foot-wide ROW for construction and a permanent 50-foot-wide ROW for operation and maintenance are proposed for the 16-inch H2S/CO2 pipeline segment. A 100-foot-wide ROW for construction and a permanent 50foot-wide ROW for operation and maintenance are proposed for the 24inch CO2 pipeline segments.

The areas described aggregate approximately 1,128 acres. The sweetening plant is located in an area designated as a marginal nonattainment zone for ozone within the Upper Green River Basin by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in July 2012. The EIS will take into consideration the use of the Department of Energy’s west-wide energy corridors, best management practices and mitigation measures described in the Programmatic EIS, ‘‘Designation of Energy Corridors on Federal Land in the 11 Western States (DOE/EIS–0386)’’ Record of Decision signed January 14, 2009, and available at corridoreis.anl.gov/eis/ guide/index.cfm. Agencies with legal jurisdiction or special expertise will be invited to participate as cooperating agencies in preparation of the EIS. Federal, state and local agencies, along with tribes and other stakeholders that may be interested in or affected by the proposed project, are invited to participate in the scoping process and, if eligible, may PO 00000 Frm 00072 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 request or be requested by the BLM to participate as a cooperating agency. During the public scoping period, the BLM will solicit public comments on behalf of all cooperating agencies regarding issues, concerns, alternatives and opportunities that should be considered in the analysis of the proposed action. To date, the BLM has identified the following preliminary list of potential issues: Socioeconomic impacts; public health and safety; air quality and noise effects; soil disturbances and erosion; wildlife and vegetation; threatened, endangered, sensitive and candidate species (e.g., sage-grouse); cultural resources; paleontological resources; changes in visual quality and settings; and National Scenic and Historical Trails. All comments must include a legible full name and address on the envelope, letter, fax, postcard or email. Documents pertinent to this proposal may be examined at the following BLM offices from 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays: • BLM Rock Springs Field Office, 280 Highway 191 North, Rock Springs, Wyoming • BLM Pinedale Field Office, 1625 West Pine Street, Pinedale, Wyoming • BLM Rawlins Field Office, 1300 N. Third Street, Rawlins, Wyoming • BLM Lander Field Office, 1335 Main Street, Lander, Wyoming • BLM Casper Field Office, 2987 Prospector Drive, Casper, Wyoming The BLM will use the NEPA process to identify and disclose impacts to the above resources or any additional issues or resources found through the scoping process. Further, the BLM will identify opportunities to apply a mitigation hierarchy strategy for on-site, regional, landscape-level conservation and management actions, which may include the option of compensatory mitigation. Mitigation strategies would be employed to achieve resource-based objectives commensurate with the scope of the impacts from the proposed project. The BLM will use the NEPA public participation requirements to assist the agency in satisfying the public involvement requirements under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) (16 U.S.C. 470f) as provided for in 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3). The information about historic and cultural resources that could potentially be affected by the project will assist the BLM in identifying and evaluating impacts to such resources in the context of both NEPA and Section 106 of the NHPA. The BLM will consult with federally recognized Native American tribes on a E:\FR\FM\09JNN1.SGM 09JNN1 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 110 / Monday, June 9, 2014 / Notices government-to-government basis in accordance with Executive Order 13175 and other policies. Tribal concerns, including potential impacts on Tribal trust assets and cultural resources, will be given due consideration. In October 2013 and November 2013, the BLM facilitated three informational meetings with federally recognized Native American tribes with an interest in the general area of the proposed project. In addition to Native American tribes, consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the National Park Service and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) will also need to occur. Consistent with the requirements of Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, informal and/or formal consultation relative to the Riley Ridge to Natrona Project will be initiated with the USFWS. The USACE will assess the Riley Ridge to Natrona Project consistent with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the River and Harbors Act. Consultation with other agencies with jurisdiction over project components will be conducted as needed. Comments on issues and potential impacts, or suggestions for additional or different alternatives, may be submitted in writing to the BLM at any public scoping meeting or through one of the methods listed in the ADDRESSES section. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or any other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information— may be made publicly available at any time. While you may request in your comment that your personal identifying information be withheld from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.

ACTION: Notice of Temporary Route Closures. VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:08 Jun 06, 2014 Jkt 232001 Notice is hereby given that temporary closures are in effect for the routes within the Hot Well Wildlife Tract on public lands administered by the Bruneau Field Office, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The routes within the tract will be closed to motorized vehicle traffic to protect sensitive botanical resources. DATES: The temporary closure will be in effect beginning July 9, 2014 and will remain in effect until August 8, 2016, or until rescinded or modified by the authorized officer or designated Federal officer. Future route management will be evaluated during travel management planning that will take place over the next two years. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information, contact Tanya Thrift, Bruneau Field Manager, at 3948 Development Avenue, Boise, Idaho, 83705, by email at tthrift@blm.gov, or by phone at 208–384–3300. Persons who use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1– 800–877–8339 to contact the above individual during normal business hours. The FIRS is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to leave a message or question with the above individual. You will receive a reply during normal business hours. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Routes Closed to Motorized Vehicle Use The Hot Well Wildlife Tract temporary closures affect routes crossing public lands located in Owyhee County, Idaho. The affected routes are found in: T. 7 S., R. 5 E., Section 6, W1⁄2SE1⁄4, Boise Meridian, Idaho One route enters the wildlife tract from Cattle Drive Road then splits into two routes that join back together at the geothermal well. These routes are shown on the map named ‘‘Hot Well Wildlife Tract Temporary Route Closures,’’ and all portions (a total length of approximately 1 mile) will be closed under this temporary closure. As documented in Categorical Exclusion Documentation (CX) No. DOI–BLM–ID–B20–2013–0004–CX, this action is in conformance with the 1983 Bruneau Management Framework Plan and is categorically excluded from further documentation under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in accordance with 516 DM 11.9 G(3), Temporary closure of roads and trails, as none of the extraordinary circumstances described in 516 DM 2 apply. The CX and Decision Record for this action were signed on March 12, PO 00000 Frm 00073 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 32979 2014. The Hot Well Wildlife Tract is the only known location in Idaho for a BLM Sensitive plant, alkali cleomella (Cleomella plocasperma). Use of this wildlife tract for unauthorized social gatherings by some local residents is in conflict with Bruneau Management Framework Plan direction to manage the site for wildlife values (Decision W/L– 4.2) and to protect and conserve special status plants (Objective RM–5). The documented high level of recreational use associated with the adjacent privately owned geothermal well and the associated large quantities of trash have resulted in the need for temporary route closures to protect threatened natural resources. These activities are damaging habitat for the sensitive plant and increasing the risk for population decline. Future route management will be evaluated in the forthcoming travel management plan. Estimated time for completion of this plan is the summer of 2016. The BLM will post a closure sign and place a locked metal gate at the north entry point on Cattle Drive Road. Pedestrian access to the Hot Well Wildlife Tract will still be allowed. These closures will also be posted in the BLM Boise District Office. Maps of the affected area and other documents associated with these closures are available at the BLM Boise District Office at 3948 Development Avenue, Boise, Idaho, 83705. Under the authority of Section 303(a) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1733(a)), 43 CFR 8360.0–7, and 43 CFR 8364.1, the BLM will enforce the following rule within the Hot Well Wildlife Tract: Motorized vehicles must not be used on closed routes. Exemptions: Exempt from this closure are contractors hired by the BLM to work in the area; search and rescue personnel; Federal, State or local law enforcement officials; other BLM employees in the performance of their official duties; and persons with written authorization from the BLM. Penalties: Any person who violates the above rule may be tried before a United States Magistrate and fined no more than $1,000, imprisoned for no more than 12 months, or both. Violators may also be subject to the enhanced fines provided for in 18 U.S.C. 3571. Authority: 43 CFR 8364.1. Tanya M. Thrift, Bruneau Field Manager.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A proposal has been submitted to the BLM to 
construct, operate, maintain and eventually decommission and reclaim 
the Riley Ridge to Natrona Project, which consists of two separate 
right-of-way (ROW) applications: (1) the Riley Ridge Carbon Dioxide 
(CO2) Pipeline and sweetening plant (WYW-167867); and (2) 
the Bairoil to Natrona CO2 Pipeline (WYW-168290). 
Applications for permit to drill will be submitted for two hydrogen 
sulfide (H2S) injection wells associated with the sweetening 
plant.
    The Riley Ridge pipeline segment includes 31 miles of 16-inch 
pipeline transporting liquid H2S and CO2 from the 
existing Riley Ridge Treating Plant located 18 miles southwest of Big 
Piney, Wyoming, southeast to a proposed sweetening plant, a 4.2-acre 
facility to be located 12 miles northeast of LaBarge, Wyoming, on BLM-
administered lands. From the sweetening plant, a 24-inch pipeline would 
transport liquid CO2 approximately 129 miles east through 
Sublette County, southeast through northern Sweetwater County, Bush Rim 
and the Red Desert, and then northeast to the Bairoil Interconnect, 
located about 50 miles northwest of Rawlins, Wyoming. The proposed 
H2S injection wells would be located adjacent to the 
proposed sweetening plant where liquid H2S would be 
separated from the CO2 stream and injected into a deep 
geological formation via the injection wells.
    The Bairoil to Natrona pipeline segment includes 83 miles of 24-
inch pipeline transporting liquid CO2 from the Bairoil 
Interconnect northeast through Fremont and Natrona counties to connect 
to the existing Greencore CO2 Pipeline at the Natrona Hub, 
located approximately 30 miles west of Casper, Wyoming.
    The goals and objectives are to transport liquid CO2 to 
the existing Greencore CO2 Pipeline to supplement existing 
supplies, allowing for additional enhanced oil recovery at existing and 
planned oil fields in Montana and other oil production areas served by 
the pipeline.
    A 75-foot-wide ROW for construction and a permanent 50-foot-wide 
ROW for operation and maintenance are proposed for the 16-inch 
H2S/CO2 pipeline segment. A 100-foot-wide ROW for 
construction and a permanent 50-foot-wide ROW for operation and 
maintenance are proposed for the 24-inch CO2 pipeline 
segments.
    The following lands in Fremont, Sublette, Sweetwater and Natrona 
counties, Wyoming, are included in the project description:

    The areas described aggregate approximately 1,128 acres.

    The sweetening plant is located in an area designated as a marginal 
nonattainment zone for ozone within the Upper Green River Basin by the 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in July 2012.
    The EIS will take into consideration the use of the Department of 
Energy's west-wide energy corridors, best management practices and 
mitigation measures described in the Programmatic EIS, ``Designation of 
Energy Corridors on Federal Land in the 11 Western States (DOE/EIS-
0386)'' Record of Decision signed January 14, 2009, and available at 
corridoreis.anl.gov/eis/guide/index.cfm.
    Agencies with legal jurisdiction or special expertise will be 
invited to participate as cooperating agencies in preparation of the 
EIS. Federal, state and local agencies, along with tribes and other 
stakeholders that may be interested in or affected by the proposed 
project, are invited to participate in the scoping process and, if 
eligible, may request or be requested by the BLM to participate as a 
cooperating agency.
    During the public scoping period, the BLM will solicit public 
comments on behalf of all cooperating agencies regarding issues, 
concerns, alternatives and opportunities that should be considered in 
the analysis of the proposed action. To date, the BLM has identified 
the following preliminary list of potential issues: Socioeconomic 
impacts; public health and safety; air quality and noise effects; soil 
disturbances and erosion; wildlife and vegetation; threatened, 
endangered, sensitive and candidate species (e.g., sage-grouse); 
cultural resources; paleontological resources; changes in visual 
quality and settings; and National Scenic and Historical Trails.
    All comments must include a legible full name and address on the 
envelope, letter, fax, postcard or email. Documents pertinent to this 
proposal may be examined at the following BLM offices from 7:45 a.m. to 
4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays:

 BLM Rock Springs Field Office, 280 Highway 191 North, Rock 
Springs, Wyoming
 BLM Pinedale Field Office, 1625 West Pine Street, Pinedale, 
Wyoming
 BLM Rawlins Field Office, 1300 N. Third Street, Rawlins, 
Wyoming
 BLM Lander Field Office, 1335 Main Street, Lander, Wyoming
 BLM Casper Field Office, 2987 Prospector Drive, Casper, 
Wyoming

    The BLM will use the NEPA process to identify and disclose impacts 
to the above resources or any additional issues or resources found 
through the scoping process. Further, the BLM will identify 
opportunities to apply a mitigation hierarchy strategy for on-site, 
regional, landscape-level conservation and management actions, which 
may include the option of compensatory mitigation. Mitigation 
strategies would be employed to achieve resource-based objectives 
commensurate with the scope of the impacts from the proposed project.
    The BLM will use the NEPA public participation requirements to 
assist the agency in satisfying the public involvement requirements 
under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) (16 
U.S.C. 470f) as provided for in 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3). The information 
about historic and cultural resources that could potentially be 
affected by the project will assist the BLM in identifying and 
evaluating impacts to such resources in the context of both NEPA and 
Section 106 of the NHPA.
    The BLM will consult with federally recognized Native American 
tribes on a

[[Page 32979]]

government-to-government basis in accordance with Executive Order 13175 
and other policies. Tribal concerns, including potential impacts on 
Tribal trust assets and cultural resources, will be given due 
consideration. In October 2013 and November 2013, the BLM facilitated 
three informational meetings with federally recognized Native American 
tribes with an interest in the general area of the proposed project.
    In addition to Native American tribes, consultation with the U.S. 
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the National Park Service and the 
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) will also need to occur. 
Consistent with the requirements of Section 7 of the Endangered Species 
Act, informal and/or formal consultation relative to the Riley Ridge to 
Natrona Project will be initiated with the USFWS. The USACE will assess 
the Riley Ridge to Natrona Project consistent with Section 404 of the 
Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the River and Harbors Act. 
Consultation with other agencies with jurisdiction over project 
components will be conducted as needed.
    Comments on issues and potential impacts, or suggestions for 
additional or different alternatives, may be submitted in writing to 
the BLM at any public scoping meeting or through one of the methods 
listed in the ADDRESSES section. Before including your address, phone 
number, email address, or any other personal identifying information in 
your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including 
your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available 
at any time. While you may request in your comment that your personal 
identifying information be withheld from public review, we cannot 
guarantee that we will be able to do so.

    Authority: 40 CFR 1501.7 and 43 CFR 1610.2.

Acting State Director.
