Wells Rural Electric Company; Notice
of Availability of Environmental
Assessment
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission’s (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No.
486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy
Projects has reviewed the application
for a new license for the Trout Creek
Hydroelectric Project, located on Trout
Creek in Elko County, near the Town of
Wells, Nevada, and has prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA).
The EA contains the staff’s analysis of
the potential environmental impacts of
the project and concludes that licensing
the project, with appropriate
environmental protective measures,
would not constitute a major federal
action that would significantly affect the
quality of the human environment.
A copy of the EA is available for
review at the Commission in the Public
Reference Room or may be viewed on
the Commission’s website at https://
www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.

National Family Farm Coalition, et al. v.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
and Scott Pruitt, Case No. 17–70196 (9th
Cir.) (the ‘‘Dicamba Litigation’’), and in
the consolidated matters of National
Family Farm Coalition, et al. v. U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and
Scott Pruitt, Case No. 17–70810 (9th
Cir.) and Natural Resources Defense
Council v. Scott Pruitt and U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, Case
No. 17–70817 (9th Cir.) (the ‘‘Enlist Duo
Litigation’’), that have been submitted to
EPA by pesticide registrants or other
data-submitters and that have been
claimed to be, or have been determined
to potentially contain, confidential
business information (collectively
‘‘CBI’’).
In the ‘‘Dicamba Litigation,’’
Petitioners seek judicial review of EPA’s
order granting a conditional pesticide
registration under the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (‘‘FIFRA’’) for the new uses of the
herbicide dicamba on genetically
engineered cotton and soybean. In the
‘‘Enlist Duo Litigation,’’ Petitioners seek
judicial review of EPA’s order granting
a conditional pesticide registration
under FIFRA of the herbicide ‘‘Enlist
Duo,’’ containing the active ingredients
2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid choline
salt (‘‘2,4-D’’) and glyphosate
dimethylammonium salt (‘‘glyphosate’’).
The documents are being produced as
part of the Administrative Records of
the decisions at issue and include
documents that registrants or other datasubmitters may have submitted to EPA
regarding the pesticides dicamba, 2,4-D,
and/or glyphosate, and that may be
subject to various release restrictions
under federal law. The information
includes documents submitted with
pesticide registration applications and
may include CBI as well as scientific
studies subject to the disclosure
restrictions of section 10(g) of FIFRA, 7
U.S.C. 136h(d).
All documents that may be subject to
release restrictions under federal law are
designated as ‘‘Confidential or
Restricted Information’’ under
Protective Orders that the Court entered
on November 8, 2017 in both cases (Dkt.
61–2 in the Dicamba Litigation; Dkt.
55–2 in the Enlist Duo Litigation). The
Protective Orders preclude public
disclosure of any such documents by
the parties in this action who have
received the information from EPA,
unless a party successfully obtains a dedesignation as Confidential or Restricted
Information of any portion of the
Administrative Record via the
procedure described in paragraph 6 of
the Protective Orders, and limits the use
of such documents to litigation
