Specifically, Rover filed an amendment to its proposed pro forma tariff and updated Exhibits K, L, N, O, and P, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The filing may be viewed on the web at https://www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or call toll-free, (886) 208–3676 or TYY, (202) 502–8659. Any questions concerning these applications may be directed to Stephen Veatch, Senior Director of Certificates, VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:07 May 27, 2016 Jkt 238001 Rover Pipeline LLC, 1300 Main Street, Houston, Texas 77002, by telephone at (713) 989–2024, by facsimile at (713) 989–1205, or by email at stephen.veatch@energytransfer.com. 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 impact statement (EIS) 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) for this proposal. The filing of the FEIS in the Commission’s public record for this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule 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 authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff’s FEIS. There are two ways to become involved in the Commission’s review of this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must submit 5 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the proceeding. However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. The Commission will consider these comments in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission’s PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly involved in the protest. Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be placed on the Commission’s environmental mailing list, will receive copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings associated with the Commission’s environmental review process. Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court review of the Commission’s final order. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at https:// www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should submit an original and 7 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426.

II. EIA's Request for Model Year Sales Data for Years 2009-2014

    In their May 12, 2016 request letter to EPA, EIA requested that EPA 
provide to EIA historical model year sales data for years 2009 through 
2014 by manufacturer and nameplate. As noted above, EIA uses this 
information to model and project energy demand in the light-duty 
vehicle sector. Additionally, EIA noted that these data are critical to 
EIA's continued efforts to project energy demand, fuel efficiency, fuel 
consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions for the transportation 
sector. Previously, EIA had been unable to obtain official model year 
sales data for 2009 through 2014 due to the fact that it contained CBI. 
The specific data they requested includes all the data fields currently 
available in the Excel files provided on the fueleconomy.gov Web site 
(see the Download Fuel Economy Data page at https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/download.shtml). Additionally, EIA requested the following data 
fields: model year sales, tank size, track width, wheelbase, curb 
weight, horsepower, interior volume, fleet (DP, IP, LT), and test 
weight.
    EIA indicated that they are aware that this information is subject 
to claims of confidential business information. EIA's letter states 
``We will take the necessary steps to ensure the data are secure and 
kept confidential. EIA routinely works with sensitive data and has 
strong data handling safeguards in place.''
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 2.209(c), EPA may disclose business information 
to another Federal agency if: (1) EPA receives a written request for 
disclosure of the information from a duly authorized officer or 
employee of the other agency; (2) the request sets forth the official 
purpose for which the information is needed; (3) when the information 
has been claimed as confidential or has been determined to be 
confidential, the responsible EPA office provides notice to each 
affected business of the type of information to be disclosed and to 
whom it is to be disclosed, and such notice may be given by notice 
published in the Federal Register at least 10 days prior to disclosure; 
(4) EPA notifies the other agency of any unresolved business 
confidentiality claim covering the information and of any determination 
under this subpart that the information is entitled to confidential 
treatment, and that further disclosure of the information may be a 
violation of the Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. 1905; and (5) the other 
agency agrees in writing that in accordance with the law, it will not 
disclose further any information designated as confidential.
    In the case at hand, all of the required elements of 40 CFR 
2.209(c) have been met upon publication of this notice.

III. Impact on Vehicle Manufacturers

    Given that EIA is aware that the shared information is CBI or has 
been claimed as CBI, and intends to take the necessary steps to ensure 
that the data provided is kept secure and confidential, there is no 
impact on vehicle manufacturers to the release of this data.
