define the Project-specific Area of
Potential Effects (APE) in consultation
with the SHPOs as the Project develops.
On natural gas facility projects, the APE
at a minimum encompasses all areas
subject to ground disturbance (examples
include construction right-of-way,
contractor/pipe storage yards,
compressor stations, and access roads).
Our EA for this project will document
our findings on the impacts on historic
properties and summarize the status of
consultations under section 106.
Currently Identified Environmental
Issues
We have already identified several
issues that we think deserve attention
based on a preliminary review of the
planned facilities and the
environmental information provided by
Algonquin. This preliminary list of
issues may change based on your
comments and our analysis.
• Geology—Effects as a result of
blasting to remove existing surface and
bedrock during construction.
• Biological Resources—Effects on
threatened and endangered species and
sensitive habitats.
• Water Resources—Effects on
waterbodies and wetlands, including
the crossing of the Connecticut River.
• Land Use—Effects on residential
and commercial areas, traffic and
transportation corridors, and
agricultural lands from construction.
• Cultural Resources – Effects on
archaeological sites and historic
resources.
• Air Quality and Noise—Effects on
the local air quality and noise
environment from construction and
operation.
• Reliability and Safety—The
assessment of hazards associated with
natural gas pipelines and aboveground
facilities.

Environmental Mailing List
The environmental mailing list
includes: federal, state, and local
government representatives and
agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest
groups; Native American Tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries
and newspapers. This list also includes
all affected landowners (as defined in
the Commission’s regulations) who are
potential right-of-way grantors, whose
property may be used temporarily for
Project purposes, or who own homes
within certain distances of aboveground
facilities, and anyone who submits
comments on the Project. We will
in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register
of Historic Places.

update the environmental mailing list as
the analysis proceeds to ensure that we
send the information related to this
environmental review to all individuals,
organizations, and government entities
interested in and/or potentially affected
by the planned Project.
When we publish and distribute the
EA, copies will be sent to the
environmental mailing list for public
review and comment. If you would
prefer to receive a paper copy of the
document instead of the CD version or
would like to remove your name from
the mailing list, please return the
attached Information Request
(Appendix 3).
Becoming an Intervenor
In addition to involvement in the EA
scoping process, once Algonquin files
its application with the Commission,
you may want to become an
‘‘intervenor,’’ which is an official party
to the Commission’s proceeding.
Intervenors play a more formal role in
the process and are able to file briefs,
appear at hearings, and be heard by the
courts if they choose to appeal the
Commission’s final ruling. An
intervenor formally participates in the
proceeding by filing a request to
intervene. Instructions for becoming an
intervenor are in the User’s Guide under
the ‘‘e-filing’’ link on the Commission’s
Web site. Please note that the
Commission will not accept requests for
intervenor status at this time. You must
wait until the Commission receives a
formal application for the Project, which
is currently anticipated to be sometime
in September 2015.

Additional information about the
Project is available from the
Commission’s Office of External Affairs,

Any
member of the public wishing to obtain
information concerning the public
teleconference may contact Mr. Thomas
Carpenter, Designated Federal Officer
(DFO), EPA Science Advisory Board
Staff Office (1400R), U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania

General information about the SAB as

teleconference announced in this notice
may be found on the EPA Web site at

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The SAB
was established pursuant to the
Environmental Research, Development,
and Demonstration Authorization Act
(ERDDAA), codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365,
to provide independent scientific and
technical advice to the Administrator on
the technical basis for Agency positions
and regulations. The SAB is a federal
advisory committee chartered under the
Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. Pursuant to
FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby
given that the chartered SAB will hold
a public teleconference to review three
draft SAB reports on toxicological
assessments for the IRIS program. The
assessments address ammonia,
trimethylbenzenes, and ethylene oxide
respectively. The chartered SAB will
conduct a quality review of three draft
reports that focus on the scientific and
technical merit of the assessments. The
SAB undertook this review at the
request of the EPA’s Office of Research
and Development. Quality review is a
key function of the chartered SAB. Draft
reports prepared by SAB committees,
panels, or work groups must be
reviewed and approved by the chartered
SAB before transmittal to the EPA
Administrator. Consistent with FACA,
the chartered SAB makes a
determination in a public meeting about
each draft report and determines
whether the report is ready to be
transmitted to the EPA Administrator.
For EPA’s Toxicological Review of
Ammonia, ORD evaluated
epidemiological data, experimental
animal data, and other relevant data
from studies of the noncancer and
cancer effects of ammonia. This
assessment includes an inhalation
reference concentration (RfC) and a
qualitative cancer descriptor. The
assessment does not include an oral
reference dose (RfD) or a quantitative
cancer assessment. Information about
this advisory activity can be found on
the Web at https://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/
