Download as PDF 17570 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 61 / Monday, March 30, 2020 / Notices lotter on DSKBCFDHB2PROD with NOTICES specifically interested in information on the draft Connected Communities FOA goals and design. DATES: Responses to the RFI must be received by 5:00pm (ET) on Tuesday, May 12, 2020. ADDRESSES: Interested parties are to submit comments electronically to CCPilotsRFI@ee.doe.gov. Include Connected Communities in the subject of the title. Responses must be provided as attachments to an email. Only electronic responses will be accepted. The complete RFI document is located at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Question may be addressed to CCPilotsRFI@ee.doe.gov, or Dale Hoffmeyer, (202)-586–8163, Dale.Hoffmeyer@ee.doe.gov. Further instruction can be found in the RFI document posted on EERE Exchange. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The goal of this potential FOA is to demonstrate, through regional pilots, the ability of groups of efficient buildings to provide additive benefits to the electricity system including peak demand reduction, reduced capacity and energy needs, and other grid services through demand flexibility. This includes the ability to reduce, shift and modulate load or generate energy in both existing and new communities across diverse climates, geographies, building types and grid/regulatory structures, while maintaining (if not enhancing) occupant satisfaction and productivity. Connected communities builds on BTO’s current Grid-interactive Efficient Buildings (GEB) research initiative: https:// www.energy.gov/eere/buildings/gridinteractive-efficient-buildings. DOE is seeking input from the public regarding the designs and goals of the potential FOA, including items such as: technical requirements; funding and cost share requirements; period of performance requirements; data sharing, measurement and validation requirements; and other relevant issues. The RFI is available at: https://eereexchange.energy.gov/. Confidential Business Information Pursuant to 10 CFR 1004.11, any person submitting information that he or she believes to be confidential and exempt by law from public disclosure should submit via email two wellmarked copies: one copy of the document marked ‘‘confidential’’ including all the information believed to be confidential, and one copy of the document marked ‘‘non-confidential’’ with the information believed to be confidential deleted. Submit these documents via email. DOE will make its VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:05 Mar 27, 2020 Jkt 250001 own determination about the confidential status of the information and treat it according to its determination.

Double E filed an application in Docket No. CP19–495–000 requesting a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act to construct and operate certain natural gas pipeline facilities. Double E requests authorization to construct and operate approximately 135 combined miles of varying diameter trunk-lines and lateral pipeline connecting the Delaware Basin production areas in New Mexico and Texas to the Waha Hub. The proposed trunkline and lateral pipelines run through Eddy County, New Mexico and Loving, Ward, Reeves, and Pecos Counties, Texas. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the Double E Pipeline Project in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed Project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The U.S. Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM) participated as a cooperating agency in the preparation of the EA. Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to resources potentially affected by the proposal and participate in the NEPA analysis. The BLM will adopt and use the EA to issue a Right-of-Way Grant and Temporary Use Permits for the portion of the Project on federal lands. The proposed Double E Pipeline Project includes the following facilities: • Approximately 33.3 miles of new 30-inch-diameter T100 pipeline from Summit Midstream Partners, LP’s existing Lane Processing Plant located in Eddy County, New Mexico, to the proposed Poker Lake Meter Station site, also in Eddy County; E:\FR\FM\30MRN1.SGM 30MRN1 lotter on DSKBCFDHB2PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 61 / Monday, March 30, 2020 / Notices • 84.2 miles of new 42-inch-diameter T200 pipeline from the proposed Poker Lake Meter Station in Eddy County, New Mexico through Loving, Ward, and Reeves Counties, Texas and terminating at the proposed Waha Receiver and Separation site in Reeves County, Texas; • 1.4 miles of new 42-inch-diameter T300 pipeline from the proposed Double E Waha Receiver and Separation site in Reeves County, Texas to the final delivery locations in Pecos County, Texas; and • 16.4 miles of new 30-inch-diameter L100 pipeline from the existing Loving Processing Plants to the proposed T100 pipeline in Eddy County, New Mexico.
