Federal Energy Regulatory

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Company, LLC; Notice of Availability
of the Final Environmental Impact
Statement for the Proposed Southside
Reliability Enhancement Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a final
environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the Southside Reliability
Enhancement Project (Project), proposed
by Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Company, LLC (Transco) in the abovereferenced docket. Transco requests
authorization to construct and operate
one new compressor station and modify
two existing compressor stations and
three existing meter stations in North
Carolina and Virginia. The Project
would provide an incremental 423,400
dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of yearround firm transportation capacity from
Transco’s Compressor Station 165 and
Pine Needle Storage Facility along the
mainline and South Virginia Lateral
pipeline systems to delivery points in
North Carolina.
The final EIS assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
Project in accordance with the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The
FERC staff concludes that approval of
the proposed Project, with the
mitigation measures recommended in
the EIS, would result in some adverse
environmental impacts; however,
impacts would be reduced to less-than-
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001
significant levels. Regarding climate
change impacts, the Project’s
construction and operation emissions
would increase the atmospheric
concentration of greenhouse gases
(GHG), in combination with past,
present, and future emissions from all
other sources. Climate change impacts
are not characterized in the EIS as
significant or insignificant because the
Commission is conducting a generic
proceeding to determine whether and
how the Commission will conduct
significance determinations going
forward.1 The EIS also concludes that
no system or other alternative site
would meet the Project objective while
providing a significant environmental
advantage over the Project as proposed.
The final EIS addresses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
following Project facilities:
• installation of a new compressor
station (Compressor Station 168) which
includes one new 33,000 horsepower
electric motor-driven compressor unit,
and installation of new mainline valves
on South Virginia Lateral A-Line and BLine at the new Compressor Station 168
in Mecklenburg County, Virginia;
• addition of one 16,000 horsepower
electric motor-driven compressor unit at
existing Compressor Station 166 in
Pittsylvania County, Virginia;
• installation of piping modifications
to allow for flow reversal at existing
Compressor Station 155 in Davidson
County, North Carolina;
• replacement of one meter run to
increase delivery volumes at the
existing Ahoskie Meter Station in
Hertford County, North Carolina;
• installation of new facilities to
increase delivery volumes at the
existing Pleasant Hill Meter Station in
Northampton County, North Carolina;
and
• upgrade meter and controls and
debottleneck piping at the existing
Iredell Meter Station in Iredell County,
North Carolina.
The Commission mailed a copy of the
Notice of Availability of the final EIS to
Federal, State, and local government
representatives and agencies; elected
officials; environmental and public
interest groups; Native American tribes;
potentially affected landowners and
other interested individuals and groups;
and newspapers and libraries in the
Project area. The final EIS is only
available in electronic format. It may be

Abstract: The National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for the Printing and
Publishing Industry (40 CFR part 63,
subpart KK) apply to both existing
facilities and new facilities operating:
publication rotogravure, product and
PO 00000
Frm 00036
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
13115
packaging rotogravure, or wide-web
flexographic printing presses at major
sources. These standards also apply to
owners and/or operators who choose to
commit to, and meet the criteria of
establishing the facility to, be an area
source of hazardous air pollutants
(HAP). New facilities include those that
commenced construction or
reconstruction after the date of proposal.
This information is being collected to
assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63,
subpart KK. In general, all NESHAP
standards require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports
by the owners/operators of the affected
facilities. They are also required to
maintain records of the occurrence and
duration of any startup, shutdown, or
malfunction in the operation of an
affected facility, or any period during
which the monitoring system is
inoperative. These notifications, reports,
and records are essential in determining
compliance, and are required of all
affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Owners and operators of printing and
publishing facilities.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart
KK).
Estimated number of respondents:
352 (total).
Frequency of response: Annually,
semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 59,800 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $7,590,000 (per
year), which includes $414,000 in
annualized capital/startup and/or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR as currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This is due to two
considerations: (1) the regulations have
not changed over the past three years
and are not anticipated to change over
the next three years; and (2) the growth
rate for this industry is very low or nonexistent, so there is no significant
change in the overall burden. Since
there are no changes in the regulatory
requirements and there is no significant
industry growth, there are also no
changes in the capital/startup or
operation and maintenance (O&M)
costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
