[FR Doc. 2014–15696 Filed 7–2–14; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910–9X–P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration Notice of Release From Federal Grant Assurance Obligations for Taylor Airport, Taylor, Arizona Federal Aviation Administration, DOT. ACTION: Notice of Request to Release Airport Land. AGENCY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes to rule and invites public comment on the application for a release of approximately .3885 acre of airport property at Taylor Airport, Taylor, Arizona, from all conditions contained in the Grant Agreement Assurances since the land is not needed for airport purposes. The property will be sold for its fair market value and the proceeds deposited in the airport account. The reuse of the land will not conflict or tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:53 Jul 02, 2014 Jkt 232001 interfere with the airport or its operation, thereby protecting the interests of civil aviation. Comments must be received on or before August 4, 2014. DATES: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Comments on the request may be mailed or delivered to the FAA at the following address: Tony Garcia, Airports Compliance Program Manager, Federal Aviation Administration, Airports Division, Federal Register Comment, 15000 Aviation Blvd., Lawndale, CA 90261. In addition, one copy of the comment submitted to the FAA must be mailed or delivered to Mr. Gus Lundberg, Town Manager, Town of Taylor, P.O. Box 158, Taylor, AZ 85939, Telephone (928) 536–7366. In accordance with the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21), Public Law 10–181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this notice must be published in the Federal Register 30 days before the Secretary may waive any condition imposed on a federally obligated airport by surplus property conveyance deeds or grant agreements. The following is a brief overview of the request: The Town of Taylor, Arizona requested a release from the conditions and restrictions contained in the Grant Agreement Assurances to allow the sale of a small amount of airport land, measuring approximately .3885 acre. The property is located on the west side of the airport in the vicinity of Foothills Boulevard. In 2006, the Town acquired a parcel of land to expand the west side of the airport. About the same time, an adjoining parcel was purchased by a local citizen who proceeded to develop the acquired property. The Town subsequently discovered that development by the private property owner mistakenly encroached into airport property because the boundary line between the airport and adjacent private property had not been properly surveyed. Since the amount of land affected by the encroachment was deemed minimal, the Town concluded that a sale of the .3885 acre would be a practical solution to the encroachment error since the land is not needed for airport development. The sale price will be based on appraised market value of the property and the sale proceeds will be deposited in the airport account and used for airport purposes. The airport will be properly compensated, thereby serving the interests of civil aviation.

ACTION: Notice of agency action. AGENCY: This notice is to advise all liquefied natural gas facility (LNG) operators subject to PHMSA user fee billing of a change in the LNG user fee rates to align these rates with the actual allocation of PHMSA resources to LNG program costs. Specifically, the LNG user fee rates will increase to 5 percent of the total gas program costs. This percentage represents the approximate ratio between the allocation of resources to LNG facilities and the total allocation of resources to all gas facilities. To reduce the financial impact on LNG operators, PHMSA will implement this increase incrementally over a three-year period. DATES: Written comments should be received on or before September 2, 2014. Comments: PHMSA invites interested persons to comment on the user fee assessment process described in this notice. Although the policies and practices described in this notice are final for purposes of fiscal year 2014 assessments, any comments received will be considered in determining whether the fiscal year 2015 and later policies and practices should be continued or modified. Interested persons should submit comments to the docket in writing, identifying the title and docket number of this notice. tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:53 Jul 02, 2014 Jkt 232001 Comments should reference Docket No. PHMSA–2014–0051.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) of 1986 (Pub. L. 99–272, Sec. 7005) codified at Section 60301 of Title 49, United States Code, authorizes the assessment and collection of user fees to fund the pipeline safety activities conducted under Chapter 601 of Title 49. PHMSA assesses each operator of interstate and intrastate gas transmission pipelines (as defined in 49 CFR Part 192) and hazardous liquid pipelines carrying crude oil, refined petroleum products, PO 00000 Frm 00120 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 highly volatile liquids, biofuel, and carbon dioxide (as defined in 49 CFR Part 195) a share of the total Federal pipeline safety program costs in proportion to the number of miles of pipeline for each operator. In accordance with COBRA, PHMSA also assesses user fees on LNG facilities (as defined in 49 CFR Part 193). Fee Schedules COBRA requires that the Secretary of Transportation establish a schedule of fees for pipeline usage, bearing a reasonable relationship to miles of pipeline, volume-miles, revenues, or an appropriate combination thereof. In particular, the Secretary must take into account the allocation of Departmental resources in establishing the schedule. Following consultations with the pipeline industry’s major trade associations, including the American Petroleum Institute, the American Gas Association, the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America, and the Association of Oil Pipe Lines on the appropriate basis for determining fees, the Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA), PHMSA’s predecessor agency, determined that pipeline mileage provides the most reasonable basis for determining fees to be paid by operators of gas transmission lines and hazardous liquid pipeline facilities.1 On July 16, 1986, RSPA published in the Federal Register a notice for pipeline safety user fees to describe the agency’s implementation of the requirements set forth in the COBRA Act (51 FR 25782) (the User Fee Notice). The User Fee Notice adopted pipeline mileage as the fee basis for natural gas transmission and hazardous liquid pipelines. Pipeline mileage data for each operator are available from the annual reports which operators are required to file with PHMSA. Each report provides the miles of pipeline each operator has at the end of the calendar year for which the report is filed. With respect to the LNG facility portion of the gas program costs, a fee basis other than mileage was needed. For these facilities, RSPA determined that storage capacity was the most readily measurable indicator of usage. The storage capacity of each LNG facility that is subject to the user fee provisions of the Act was initially based on those published in a periodic report by the Liquefied Natural Gas Committee of the American Gas Association. With storage capacity as the basis, a five step 1 Pipeline user fee assessments under COBRA were upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in Skinner v. Mid-America Pipeline Co., 490 U.S. 212 (1989).
