before the comment closing date.
Comments received after the closing
date will be evaluated if it is possible to
do so without incurring additional
expense or delay. PHMSA will consider
each relevant comment we receive in
making our decision to grant or deny the
request.
PHMSA has received a special permit
request from Donlin Gold, LLC,
(DGLLC), to deviate from the pipeline
safety regulations in its construction,
design, and operations and maintenance
(O&M) of a 14-inch, 315-mile pipeline.
The proposed pipeline would transport
natural gas from the Cook Inlet in
Alaska to the Donlin Gold project site in
Western Alaska. The lead agency
responsible for authorizing siting and
construction of the Donlin Gold mine
and pipeline servicing the mine is the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
The USACE has prepared a draft
environmental impact statement (DEIS).
DGLLC has requested that PHMSA
allow the use of Strain-Based Design
(SBD) for segments of the pipeline.
PHMSA regulates the design,
construction and operation of natural
gas transmission pipelines under 49
CFR part 192. Use of SBD would allow
the proposed pipeline to be buried in
permafrost and discontinuous
permafrost soils. SBD is not specifically
addressed in Part 192. These soils exert
significant strains on a pipeline due to
thaw settlement, frost heave, and
ground movements.
PHMSA is considering issuing a
special permit with conditions that
would require specific materials,
engineering, construction, and O&M
procedures to mitigate the external
forces of thaw settlement and
longitudinal bending strains that exceed
allowed limits in the specified SBD
Segments.
The proposed SBD special permit
conditions are designed to achieve the
level of safety that is normally achieved
through full compliance with 49 CFR
part 192, including §§ 192.103, 192.105,
192.111, 192.317, and 192.619. The
pipeline will supply gas to provide
heating and generate electricity to
power the industrial equipment at the
gold mine.
The pipeline origin will tie into an
existing natural gas pipeline at Cook
Inlet, approximately 30-miles (48
kilometers) northwest of Anchorage at a
tie-in near Beluga, Alaska, and will
terminate at the Donlin Gold mine site.
The first 117 miles of the pipeline will
be located within the MatanuskaSustina Borough, while the remainder of
the 315-mile pipeline, including all the
requested SBD segments, will be located
in the Unorganized Borough. The
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
pipeline terminus at Mile Post 315 is
about 10-miles (16 kilometers) north of
the village of Crooked Creek, Alaska.
The project design pressure and
maximum allowable operating pressure
will be 1,480 pounds per square inch
gauge (psig). The minimum delivery
pressure required at the mine is 550
psig. PHMSA’s EA references USACE’s
DEIS, which is also available in Docket
No. PHMSA–2016–0149. The USACE’s
DEIS of the Donlin Gold Project can be
assessed at https://
www.donlingoldeis.com/.
Issued in Washington, DC, on March 28,
2017, under authority delegated in 49 CFR
1.97.
Alan K. Mayberry,
Associate Administrator for Pipeline Safety.
