Commercial Customs Operations Advisory Committee, 14383-14384 [2023-04738]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 45 / Wednesday, March 8, 2023 / Notices III. Discussion Enterprise Products LLC, located in Orange, TX, submitted an LOI and WSA on August 15, 2022 regarding the company’s proposed plans to handle and transport LHG at the Port of Port Arthur, TX facility. The purpose of this notice is to solicit public comments on the proposed increase in LHG marine traffic on the Sabine-Neches Waterway. The Coast Guard believes that input from the public may be useful to the COTP with respect to validating the information provided in Enterprise Products’ WSA and development of the LOR. The goal of this input will be to gather information to help the COTP assess the suitability of the associated waterway for increased LHG marine traffic as it relates to navigational safety and maritime security. In addition to the other documents referenced in this notice, a brief summation of Enterprise Products’ proposal is available for viewing in the public docket for this notice. Additionally, the Coast Guard will request comments and recommendations from the Area Maritime Security Committee, Port Arthur, TX. In late 2022, the Southeast Texas Waterways Advisory Council (SETWAC) Navigation Subcommittee met to assess the safety and security of Enterprise Products plan. On November 21, 2022, SETWAC submitted a letter of no objection to the COTP. On January 24, 2011, the Coast Guard published Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) 01–2011, ‘‘Guidance Related to Waterfront Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Facilities’’. NVIC 01–2011 provides guidance for owners and operators seeking approval to build and operate LNG facilities. While NVIC 01–2011 is specific to LNG, it provides useful process information and guidance for owners and operators seeking approval to build and operate LHG facilities as well. The Coast Guard will refer to NVIC 01–2011 for process information and guidance in evaluating Enterprise Products’ WSA. A copy of NVIC 01–2011 is available for viewing on the Coast Guard’s website at https:// www.dco.uscg.mil/Our-Organization/ NVIC/Year/2010. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 IV.
