the production of the project to 4.2
MMTPA of LNG.
The feed gas supply to the project
would be transported via three (3) new
pipeline laterals. A new 24-inchdiameter lateral, 1.11 statute miles (1.79
kilometers) in length, would tie-in to the
existing Kinetica Partners 24-inch (61centimeter) pipeline. A new 20-inch
lateral, 0.43 statute mile (0.69 kilometer)
in length, would tie-in to the existing
20-inch (51-centimeter) Kinetica
Partners pipeline. Finally, a new 20inch-diameter lateral, 4.75 statute miles
(7.64 kilometers) in length, would tie-in
to the existing 18-inch (46-centimeter)
High Point Gas Transmission pipeline.
The fabrication and assembly yards
for the DWP’s fixed components would
be located in south Louisiana. One (1)
purpose-built transport barge and three
(3) project-specific tugs would also be
built in south Louisiana. The two (2)
FSUs proposed for the project would be
repurposed LNG carriers. These would
be converted to FSUs in a shipyard
located in Europe or Asia.
The onshore components would
consist of an existing receiving area/
warehouse with an onsite office. These
components would be located at one of
the existing fabrication yards in
Louisiana.
For Phases 1 and 2, platform and pile
fabrication and assembly would be
contracted to various existing
fabrication yards in south Louisiana
with the capacity to build and load out
up to a 10,000-short-ton deck. Most of
the major equipment (e.g., generators,
cranes, gas compressors, and gas
treating equipment) would be
purchased, fabricated, and assembled at
vendor suppliers and then shipped precommissioned and ready to install on
each of the platform topsides.
The living quarters and helideck that
are part of the accommodations platform
would be prefabricated and shipped
separately. The selected contractor
would install the prefabricated quarters
onto the accommodations platform deck
at the onshore fabrication yard. The
piles and risers would be fabricated at
a fabrication yard in the south Louisiana
region. Subsea assemblies would be
fabricated and tested at a fabrication
yard.
The purpose-built transport barge and
the three project-specific tugs would be
built in a south Louisiana shipyard. The
tugs and barge would be used during
both installation phases of the DWP.
Scoping Process
Public scoping is an early and open
process for identifying and determining
the scope of issues to be addressed in
the EIS. Scoping begins with this notice,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:10 Jun 30, 2023
Jkt 259001
continues through the public comment
period (see Dates), and ends when
USCG and MARAD have completed the
following actions:
• Invites the participation of Federal,
State, Tribal, and local agencies, the
Applicant, and other interested persons;
• Determines the actions, alternatives
and impacts described in 40 CFR
1508.25;
• Identifies and eliminates from
detailed study, those issues that are not
significant or that have been covered
elsewhere;
• Identifies other relevant permitting,
environmental review, and consultation
requirements;
• Indicates the relationship between
timing of the environmental review and
other aspects of the application process.
Once the scoping process is complete,
USCG, in coordination with MARAD,
will prepare a draft EIS. When
complete, MARAD will publish a
Federal Register notice announcing
public availability of the Draft EIS. (If
you want that notice to be sent to you,
please see ADDRESSES). You will have an
opportunity to review and comment on
the Draft EIS. MARAD, the USCG, and
other appropriate cooperating agencies
will consider the received substantive
comments and then prepare the Final
EIS. As with the Draft EIS, we will
announce the availability of the Final
EIS. The Act requires a final public
hearing be held in the ACS. Its purpose
is to receive comments on matters
related to whether or not a deepwater
port license should be issued to the
applicant by the Maritime
Administrator. The final public hearing
will be held after the Final EIS is made
available for public review.

collection of information by referring to
its OMB Control Number.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), a Federal
agency must receive approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) before it collects certain
information from the public and a
person is not required to respond to a
collection of information by a Federal
agency unless the collection displays a
valid OMB control number. In
compliance with these requirements,
this notice announces that the following
information collection request will be
submitted OMB.
Title: Strategies to Improve DRE
Officers’ Performance and Law
Enforcement Agencies’ DRE Programs.
OMB Control Number: New.
Form Number: 1662, 1663, 1680.
Type of Request: New request.
Type of Review Requested: Regular.
Length of Approval Requested: Three
years from date of approval.
Summary of the Collection of
Information:
• Application information will be
collected to enroll Law Enforcement
Agencies with DRE programs. The
application will include fields for the
agency name, address, point of contact
name, email address, and phone
number. It will request information
about existing DRE processes and
procedures, tools and strategies used,
and how the agency plans to implement
new or enhance existing processes and
procedures.
• Selected agencies will be required
to submit via email, monthly reports
documenting activities conducted in the
reporting month and planned for the
next month. The monthly reports will
also include information on equipment/
technology received as of the date of the
report.
• Quarterly reports will be required
and will be collected through telephone
conversations between the selected
agencies and the support contractor.
These calls will serve to discuss what
has occurred within the past quarter in
relation to the project, such as how the
tools and technologies have been
implemented, any challenges faced and
how they were or will be addressed, any
successes to date, and lessons learned.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use of the
Information: NHTSA was established by
the Highway Safety Act of 1970 (Pub. L.
91–605, section 202(a), 84 Stat. 1713,
1739–40). Its mission is to reduce the
number of deaths, injuries, and
economic losses resulting from motor
vehicle crashes on our nation’s
highways. To further this mission,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:10 Jun 30, 2023
Jkt 259001
NHTSA conducts research on driver
behavior and traffic safety to develop
efficient and effective means of bringing
about safety improvements. Impaired
driving resulting from cannabis or other
drug use poses challenges for our
nation’s law enforcement officers,
prosecutors, toxicologists, highway
safety offices, and others. As the number
of States legalizing marijuana continues
to increase, the need for effective
strategies to address the growing
concerns about impaired driving is
imperative. Law enforcement agencies
are eager for strategies to improve their
efficiency, consistency, and
completeness of their DRE programs.
This program will play a critical role in
a State’s efforts to reduce impaired
driving. This project will allow NHTSA
to provide participating law
enforcement agencies with information
and resources to improve their DRE
officers’ performance and enforcement
programs overall. This collection of
information is necessary to allow
interested enforcement agencies with
DRE programs to submit an application
that shares information about their
current DRE program. This is a
demonstration project. Agency
applications will be collected and used
as baseline data. This information will
be compiled and used to better
understand process outcomes that other
law enforcement agencies could use to
replicate and improve their programs.
60-Day Notice: A Federal Register
notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting public comments on the
following information collection was
published on August 31, 2022 (87 FR
53548). Comments were received from
three sources. Each comment received
shared that the submitter was in support
of the initiative. There are no responses
to the comments and no changes made
to the project’s workplan, final
deliverables, and subsequently no
changes to the information collection
plan. NHTSA acknowledges the support
submitted by the three sources as
follows:
Comment 1: Objectivity will be
enhanced in an effort to eliminate
human error, methods of automating
and standardizing the DRE tests such as
through the use of standardized
instructions, automating the tests with
technology and other tools, and
improving data capture throughout the
tests to generate a meaningful body of
evidence.
Comment 2: The results of the study
will have practical utility.
Comment 3: Additional training
proposed by the NHTSA will assist
officers in detecting impaired drivers
and interacting with them.
