Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission
Notice of Meeting To Discuss Concept
of Developing an Electronic
Information and Trading Platform for
Natural Gas
Commissioner Philip D. Moeller will
convene a meeting at the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission on Thursday,
September 18, 2014, from 2:00 p.m. to
4:45 p.m., in the Commission Meeting
Room at the agency’s headquarters: 888
First Street NE., Washington, DC. The
purpose of this meeting is to provide a
forum for interested parties to discuss
ideas to facilitate and improve the way
in which natural gas is traded, and
explore the concept of establishing a
centralized trading platform for natural
gas.
As natural gas-fired power plants
become an increasingly larger share of
the nation’s electricity mix, the manner
by which the commodity is procured
and transacted is of great interest. This
meeting will address how natural gas is
currently traded and discuss concerns
regarding the lack of transparency and
possible inefficiencies in trading the
commodity, particularly during offhours. We welcome ideas from system
operators and generation owners
regarding the types of near real time
flexibility (e.g., changing or confirming
nominations) that would be most
valuable to them in meeting
contingencies that may require gas-fired
generation to ramp on short notice, as
well as ideas from pipeline operators
and others regarding the physical and
information requirements that would
have to be met in order to provide such
flexibility on a standardized basis.
Further, we welcome ideas and
discussion of current confirmation
processes and how they might be
accelerated, streamlined, and better
coordinated across pipelines where
necessary to support trading
opportunities. Notably, the meeting will
explore the concept of developing an
electronic information and trading
platform that would contain bids and
offers for the purchase and sale of both

commodity and capacity for receipt and
delivery points across multiple pipeline
systems.
This meeting is open to the public
and all interested parties, including
those in the electric power and financial
sectors, are invited to attend. There is
no registration fee to attend and this
meeting will not be Web cast or
transcribed. Meeting attendees are
reminded to allow sufficient time to
pass through building security
procedures.
Persons wishing to participate and
speak at this meeting should express
such interest no later than September 4,
2014 by contacting Jason Stanek, Legal
Advisor to the Commissioner at (202)

Pipeline, Inc., 4700 State Highway 56,
Owensboro, Kentucky 42301, at (270)
852–4654.
Specifically, Southern Star’s proposed
increase in capacity, of 4,000 Mcf/d on
a portion of its 16-inch Line HQ, will
require yard piping modifications
upstream within the existing Saginaw
and Grabham Compressor Stations. The
estimated cost of the project is $423,000.
Pursuant to section 157.9 of the
Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the
Commission staff will either: Complete
its environmental assessment (EA) and
place it into the Commission’s public
record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or
issue a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review. If a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review is
issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the
Commission staff’s issuance of the final
environmental impact statement (FEIS)
or EA for this proposal. The filing of the
EA in the Commission’s public record
for this proceeding or the issuance of a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental
Review will serve to notify federal and
state agencies of the timing for the
completion of all necessary reviews, and
the subsequent need to complete all
federal thorizations within 90 days of
the date of issuance of the Commission
staff’s FEIS or EA.
Any person may, within 60 days after
the issuance of the instant notice by the
Commission, file pursuant to Rule 214
of the Commission’s Procedural Rules
(18 CFR 385.214) a motion to intervene
or notice of intervention. Any person
filing to intervene or the Commission’s
staff may, pursuant to section 157.205 of
the Commission’s Regulations under the
Natural Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 157.205)
file a protest to the request. If no protest
is filed within the time allowed
therefore, the proposed activity shall be
deemed to be authorized effective the
day after the time allowed for protest. If
a protest is filed and not withdrawn
within 30 days after the time allowed
for filing a protest, the instant request
shall be treated as an application for
authorization pursuant to section 7 of
the NGA.
The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings of comments, protests,
and interventions via the internet in lieu
of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii)

Adequacy Status of Motor Vehicle
Emissions Budgets in Submitted Fine
Particulate Maintenance Plan for Yuba
City-Marysville; California
Environmental Protection
Agency.
ACTION: Notice of adequacy.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is notifying the public
that the Agency has found that the
motor vehicle emissions budgets
(MVEBs) for fine particulate (PM2.5) for
the years 2017 and 2024 in the Yuba
City-Marysville PM2.5 Nonattainment
Area Redesignation Request and
Maintenance Plan (April 1, 2013)
(‘‘Yuba City-Marysville PM2.5 Plan’’) are
adequate for transportation conformity
purposes. The Yuba City-Marysville
PM2.5 Plan was submitted to EPA on
May 23, 2013 by the California Air
Resources Board (CARB) as a revision to
the California State Implementation
Plan (SIP) and includes a maintenance
plan for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 national
ambient air quality standard. Upon the
effective date of this notice of adequacy,
the Sacramento Area Council of
Governments and the U.S. Department
of Transportation must use the MVEBs
for future conformity determinations.
DATES: This finding is effective on
September 9, 2014.

Ungvarsky, U.S. EPA, Region IX, Air
Division AIR–2, 75 Hawthorne Street,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document, whenever
‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean
EPA.
This notice is simply an
announcement of a finding that we have
already made. EPA Region IX sent a
letter to CARB on August 11, 2014
stating that the MVEBs in the submitted
Yuba City-Marysville PM2.5 Plan for
2017 and 2024 are adequate. The
adequate MVEBs are provided in the
