The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared a Final Environmental Impact Statement
(FEIS)on the natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by AES Ocean Express, L.L.C. (Ocean Express) in the above-referenced docket. The FEIS was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. The staff concludes that approval of the proposed project with the appropriate mitigating measures as recommended, would have limited adverse environmental impact. The FEIS also evaluates alternatives to the proposal, including system alternatives; major route alternatives; and route variations. The FEIS addresses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the following facilities: • About 54.5-miles of 24-inch-diameter of new natural gas pipeline extending from a point on the Exclusive Economic Zone (“EEZ”) boundary between the United States and the Bahamas to delivery points in Broward County, Florida; • Two new meter stations, and related facilities; • One below ground valve; • One aboveground main pipeline shutoff valve; and • One pig launching/receiving station. The purpose of the proposed facilities would be to transport about 842,000 dekatherms/day (Dth/d) of natural gas on an annual basis to new markets in southeastern Florida. The primary market is for natural gas-fueled electric generation plants that are needed to meet the forecasted substantial increases in consumption in Florida. The FEIS has been placed in the public files of the FERC and is available for public inspection at: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Public Reference and Files Maintenance Branch, 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426,
(202)502-8371. Copies of the FEIS have been mailed to Federal, state and local agencies, public interest groups, individuals who have requested the FEIS, newspapers, and parties to this proceeding.

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for license for the Roanoke Rapids and Gaston Hydroelectric Project, located on the Roanoke River in Brunswick and Mecklenburg Counties, Virginia, and Halifax, Northampton and Warren Counties, North Carolina. The project occupies approximately 252 acres of federal land that is administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Commission staff has prepared an Environmental Assessment

(NSPS)for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units (CISWI) (40 CFR part 60, subpart CCCC), was proposed on December 1, 2000, and promulgated on March 27, 2001. The standards require initial performance tests for 10 pollutants, annual performance testing for particulate matter (PM), hydrogen chloride (HCl), opacity continuous operating parameter monitoring, annual operator training and annual reporting (deviation reports are required if any of the emission limitations or operating limits are exceeded). This standard applies to owners or operators of new stationary sources, that is, incineration units that meet either of the two criteria:
(1)Sources for which construction begins after the NSPS is proposed which is November 30, 1999, or
(2)sources that are reconstructed or modified on or after June 1, 2001. The standard applies to combustion devices that combust commercial and industrial waste. Commercial and industrial waste is a solid waste combusted in an enclosed device using controlled flame combustion without energy recovery, which is a distinct operating unit of any commercial or industrial facility, including field-erected, modular, and custom-built incineration units operating with starved or excess air, or solid waste combusted in an air curtain incinerator without energy recovery. Owners or operators subject to the provisions of this part will perform annual performance testing on an ongoing basis, ensuring that the air pollution control device is operating properly and its performance has not deteriorated. To minimize the burden of the annual performance testing, the rule only required those respondent tests for PM, HCl, and opacity. Annual performance testing is not required for dioxins/furans, cadmium (Cd), carbon monoxide (CO), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), nitrogen oxides (NO <sup>X</sup> ), and sulfur dioxide (SO <sup>2</sup> ). This significantly reduces the testing costs while still providing the EPA with sufficient data to adequately assess compliance. The rule allows respondents to skip two annual tests for a pollutant if all performance tests over the previous three years show compliance with the emission limit. The owner or operator must establish maximum or minimum values for each operating parameter during the initial performance tests for PM, dioxins/furans, opacity, HCl, Cd, Pb, Hg, CO, NO <sup>X</sup> and SO <sup>2</sup> . Owners or operators subject to this provision must perform the following activities: Conduct performance tests, monitor operating parameters, prepare siting analysis, prepare waste management plan, operator training and qualifications, one-time and periodic reports, and the maintenance of records. Reports are submitted annually and semiannually. With the exception of requiring records to be maintained for more than three years, none of the guidelines in CFR 1320.5 are being exceeded. In 40 CFR subpart A, “General Provisions for National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Categories,” and under section 129 of the Act, CISWI facilities are subject to similar MACT-based regulations, requiring all records to be maintained at the source for a period of five years. In addition, Title V permit programs also require records to be retained for five years. The proposed standards include annual operator training requirements for incinerator unit operators (rule requires at least one qualified operator or supervisor per facility). The annual training requirements include annual refresher training to maintain operator qualification and an annual review of site-specific documentation. The way in which an incinerator is operated has a significant impact on the emissions from that incinerator. The annual operator training is essential to ensure that the incinerator is being operated properly. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable. *Burden Statement:* The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 325 hours per response. Burdens means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. *Respondents/Affected Entities:* Commercial and industrial solid waste incineration units. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 30. *Frequency of Response:* Initial, annual, and semiannual. *Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:* 16,899. *Estimated Total Annual Cost:* $1,343,000, includes $13,000 annualized capital/startup costs, $5,000 annual O&M costs, and $1,325,000 labor costs. *Changes in the Estimates:* There is an increase of 5,690 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.
