Any questions concerning this
application may be directed to Bela
Patel, Senior Regulatory Analyst, (713)
215–2659, P.O. Box 1396, Houston,
Texas 77251.
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 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 authorizations within 90 days of
the date of issuance of the Commission
staff’s EA.
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
five 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:09 Nov 02, 2017
Jkt 244001
51237
will not serve to make the filer a party
to the proceeding. The Commission’s
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 commentors 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 commentors will not be
required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties.
However, the non-party commentors
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 original and five copies
of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
888 First Street NE., Washington, DC
20426.

Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
AGENCY:
16:18 Nov 02, 2017
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is denying a Clean Air
Act (CAA) petition filed on December 9,
2013, by the states of Connecticut,
Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, New York,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and
Vermont. The petition requested that
the EPA expand the Ozone Transport
Region (OTR) by adding the states of
Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan,
North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, West
Virginia and the areas of Virginia not
already in the OTR in order to address
the interstate transport of air pollution
with respect to the 2008 ozone national
ambient air quality standards (NAAQS).
As a result of this denial, the geographic
scope and requirements of the OTR will
remain unchanged. However, the EPA
and states will continue to implement
programs to address interstate transport
of ozone pollution with respect to the
2008 ozone.

This final action is effective on
November 3, 2017.
