ACTION: Notice of Intent. AGENCY: The Los Angeles District intends to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to support a cost-shared feasibility study with the Port of Long Beach, California, for navigation improvements to existing navigation channels within the Port. The purpose of the feasibility study is to provide safe, reliable, and efficient waterborne transportation improvements to the Port of Long Beach. The EIS will analyze potential impacts of the recommended plan and a range of alternatives for navigation improvements. Alternatives will include both structural and non-structural measures. asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: You may submit your concerns in writing to the Los Angeles District at the address below. Comments, suggestions, and requests to be placed on the mailing list for announcements should be sent to Larry Smith, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District, 915 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 930, Los Angeles, CA ADDRESSES: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:43 Jan 04, 2016 Jkt 238001 90017–3401, or email to lawrence.j.smith@usace.army.mil. For further information contact Mr. Larry Smith, Project Environmental Coordinator, (213) 452–3846. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Authorization: Resolution of the Senate Committee on Public Works adopted 11 May 1967 and the Resolution of the House Committee on Public Works adopted 10 July 1968. The Army Corps of Engineers intends to prepare an EIS to assess the environmental effects associated with proposed navigation improvements measures in the study area. Study Area: The Port of Long Beach is on the coast of southern California in San Pedro Bay, approximately 20 miles south of downtown Los Angeles, California. The communities of San Pedro and Wilmington are to the west and northwest of San Pedro Bay, respectively, and to the northeast the city of Long Beach. The study area includes the waters in the immediate vicinity (and shoreward) of the breakwaters through the entire Port of Long Beach and the downstream reaches of the Los Angeles River that have direct impact on the Bay, including Outer Harbor, Inner Harbor, Cerritos Channel, West Basin, and the Back Channel. Problems and Needs: The primary problem is the inefficient operation of deep draft vessels in secondary channels, which increases the Nation’s transportation costs. This study will address inefficiencies to container movements only. The following problem statements summarize these inefficiencies. (1) Due to depth limitations along channels accessing the Port’s container terminals, existing container vessels cannot load to their maximum draft, which is causing light-loading of vessels at the point of origin and delays to an increasing number of containerships. (2) The dimensions of the world-wide fleet of container vessels have increased significantly, and it is anticipated that this trend will continue into the future. Delays and light-loading due to container vessel draft limits will increase as new, larger vessels are added to the fleet. (3) There are diminished recreation opportunities and environmental degradation in coastal areas outside of the study area. Proposed Action and Alternatives: The Los Angeles District will investigate and evaluate all reasonable alternatives to address the problems and needs identified above. In addition to the NO FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 ACTION alternative, both structural (deepen the secondary access channel to Pier J, deepen the secondary access channel to Pier T West Basin, construct a turning basin in the secondary access channel to Pier J, construct a turning basin in the secondary access channel to Pier T West Basin, deepen the approach channel, or deepen the anchorage along the main channel, beneficial use of dredged material for recreation or ecosystem restoration) and nonstructural (high tide riding, light loading, and vessel re-routing) measures will be investigated. Previous Actions: Port of Long Beach Main Channel Deepening Project, Pier T Marine Terminal, Middle Harbor Redevelopment. Scoping: The scoping process is ongoing and has involved preliminary coordination with Federal, State, and local agencies. A public scoping meeting is scheduled on 19 January 2016, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Port of Long Beach Harbor Department Interim Administrative Offices; 4801 Airport Plaza Drive, Long Beach, California. The public will have an opportunity to express opinions and raise any issues relating to the scope of the Feasibility Study and the EIS. The public as well as Federal, State, and local agencies are encouraged to participate by submitting data, information, and comments identifying relevant environmental and socioeconomic issues to be addressed in the study. Useful information includes other environmental studies, published and unpublished data, alternatives that could be addressed in the analysis, and potential mitigation measures associated with the proposed action. All comments enter into the public record. Availability of the Draft EIS: The Draft EIS is scheduled to be published and circulated in late 2016, and a public hearing to receive comments on the Draft EIS will be held after it is published. Dated: December 29, 2015. Dennis P. Sugrue, Lieutenant Colonel, U.S. Army, Acting Commander and Acting District Engineer.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission will submit the reporting and recordkeeping requirements of Reliability Standard PRC–005–6 to OMB for review. Reliability Standard PRC– 005–6 replaces or supplements requirements from previous versions of the PRC–005 Reliability Standard, which are approved under FERC–725P (Mandatory Reliability Standards: Reliability Standard PRC–005–3, OMB Control No. 1902–0269) and FERC– 725P1 (Mandatory Reliability Standards, PRC–005–4 Reliability Standard, OMB Control No. 1902–0280). The requirements and associated burden of Reliability Standard PRC–005–6 will be included in FERC–725P1.1 Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC–725P1 information collection requirements with the stated changes to the current reporting and record retention requirements, and reduction to the requirements of FERC– 725P. Abstract: The Commission requires the information collected by the FERC– 725P1 to implement the statutory provisions of section 215 of the Federal Power Act (FPA).2 On August 8, 2005, Congress enacted into law the Electricity Modernization Act of 2005, which is Title XII, Subtitle A, of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005).3 EPAct 2005 added a new section 215 to the FPA, which required a Commission-certified Electric Reliability Organization (ERO) to develop mandatory and enforceable Reliability Standards, which are subject to Commission review and approval. Once approved, the Reliability Standards may be enforced by the ERO subject to Commission oversight, or the Commission can independently enforce Reliability Standards.4 On February 3, 2006, the Commission issued Order No. 672, implementing DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. RD16–2–000] Proposed Agency Information Collection Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Energy. ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

On November 13, 2015, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) filed a petition for Commission approval of proposed Reliability Standard PRC–005–6 (Protection System, Automatic Reclosing, and Sudden Pressure Relaying Maintenance). NERC also requested approval of the proposed implementation plan for PRC–005–6, and the retirement of previous versions of Reliability Standard PRC–005. NERC explained in its petition that Reliability Standard PRC–005–6 represents an improvement upon the most recentlyapproved version of the standard, PRC– 005–4.7 FERC approved the proposed Reliability Standard PRC–005–6 on December 18, 2015.8 Type of Respondents: Transmission Owners (TO), Generator Owners (GO), and Distribution Providers.
