Petition for Exemption; Summary of Petition Received; Global Aviation Technologies, 70694-70695 [2023-22448]

Download as PDF 70694 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 196 / Thursday, October 12, 2023 / Notices addressed the retirement of all 20 CT units at its Allen and Johnsonville plants and the replacement of the capacity lost with new CT units at its Paradise and Colbert plants. Under the current proposal, TVA is considering the continual operation of existing Units 19 and 20 at ACT, previously identified for retirement. In December 2022, during Winter Storm Elliott, 16 of the units at ACT failed to start, impacting the TVA system position by 240 MWs. Since this event, these 16 units at Allen have ceased operations. Only two units at ACT (Units 19 and 20) are operable. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Project Purpose and Need The purpose of the proposed action is to increase the flexibility and reliability of TVA power system by improving TVA’s transmission system stability in western Tennessee and providing new, dispatchable generation to support the continued system load growth experienced in the TVA power service area over the past few years. These improvements would help TVA to expand and integrate renewable energy resources onto its transmission grid, which would allow TVA to advance its decarbonization goals. TVA has identified the need to improve the stability of its transmission system in the western portion of Tennessee. In this area, additional resources are needed to ensure that adequate transmission voltages are maintained within the desired limits. In addition, as identified in the 2019 IRP, TVA needs flexible, dispatchable power that can successfully integrate increasing amounts of renewable energy sources while ensuring it can meet required year-round generation and maximum capacity system demands and planning reserve margin targets. Anticipated Environmental Impacts The EA or EIS will include an evaluation of the environmental, social, and economic impacts associated with implementing the proposed action. Because all ground disturbing activities associated with the proposal would occur within previously disturbed areas of TVA’s Allen facility, TVA anticipates that the primary issues to be addressed in the EA or EIS will be impacts to air quality, climate change, environmental justice, and transportation. Other resource issues, including socioeconomics and surface water quality, will be addressed. Measures to avoid, minimize, and mitigate adverse effects will be identified and evaluated in the EA or EIS. TVA seeks input from the public during the scoping period on other relevant issues that should be VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:34 Oct 11, 2023 Jkt 262001 considered and potential mitigation measures. Anticipated Permits and Other Authorizations TVA anticipates seeking required permits or authorizations, as appropriate. TVA’s proposed action may require issuance of an air permit under the Clean Air Act; an Individual or Nationwide Permit under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act; Section 401 Water Quality Certification; conformance with Executive Orders on Environmental Justice (12898), Wetlands (11990), Floodplain Management (11988), Migratory Birds (13186), and Invasive Species (13112); and compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, and other applicable Local, Federal, and State regulations. Public Participation and Scoping Process Scoping, which is integral to the process for implementing NEPA, provides an early and open process to ensure that issues are identified early and properly studied; issues of little significance do not consume substantial time and effort; the draft EA or EIS is thorough and balanced; and delays caused by an inadequate EA or EIS are avoided. TVA seeks comment and participation from all interested parties for identification of potential alternatives, information, and analyses relevant to the proposed action in this EA or EIS. Public comments received during the scoping period will assist TVA in determining the appropriate level of NEPA review. Information about this project is available at https://www.tva.gov/NEPA, which includes a link to an online public comment page. Comments must be received or postmarked no later than November 13, 2023. Federal, state, local agencies, and Native American Tribes are also invited to provide comments. Please note that any comments received, including names and addresses, will become part of the project administrative record and will be available for public inspection. TVA plans to have an open house meeting during the scoping period. Visit https:// www.tva.gov/NEPA to submit comments and obtain more information about the open house meeting. EA or EIS Preparation and Schedule TVA will consider comments received during the scoping period and develop a scoping report which will be published online. The scoping report will summarize public and agency PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 comments that were received and identify the projected schedule for completing the environmental review process. TVA will post a draft EA or EIS for public review and comment on the project web page. TVA anticipates holding a public open house after releasing the draft EA or EIS. TVA expects to release the draft EA or EIS in Spring or Summer 2024 and a final EA or EIS in late 2024. If an EIS is prepared, TVA would publish a Record of Decision at least 30 days after the release of the final EIS. Authority: 40 CFR 1501.9.
