Golden Pass Pipeline says that the construction and operation of its pipeline will enable new competitively priced supplies of natural gas imported through the Golden Pass LNG terminal to reach markets all across the U.S. Golden Pass LNG and Golden Pass Pipeline have provided the minimal amount of cultural resources information necessary for staff to begin the traditional scoping process under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). For projects such as this one that use the traditional authorization process, a Draft Environmental Impact Statement

(DEIS)is typically issued for public comment about 8 to 10 months from the filing date of the application. However, the Commission staff can complete and issue the DEIS only after the remaining cultural resources information is submitted. There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or before the below listed comment date, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the proceeding. However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. The Commission will consider these comments in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly involved in the protest. Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings associated with the Commission's environmental review process. Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court review of the Commission's final order. Motions to intervene, protests and comments may be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper; *see* 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site under the “e-Filing” link. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings. *Comment Date:* September 30, 2004. Magalie Salas, Secretary. [FR Doc.

Take notice that on September 1, 2004, Progressive Hydro LLC, pursuant to Rule 206 of the Rules of Practice and Procedure of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 18 CFR 385.206 (2004), filed a Complaint against Public Utility District No. 2 of Grant County, Washington (Grant PUD), licensee for the Priest Rapids Hydroelectric Project, FERC Project No. 2114. Progressive Hydro alleges that Grant PUD violated the Commission's November 21, 2002, order directing Grant PUD “to remove Section 8 from the Surplus Sales Contract and Section 7, clauses (d), (f), and

(g)from the Reasonable Portion Contract.” Progressive Hydro further alleges that after November 21, 2002, in power-sales negotiations with new potential purchaser or purchasers, Grant PUD insisted that the specified clauses be inserted in new power purchase contracts. Progressive Hydro also alleges that Grant PUD violated a separate requirement to remove the provisions when the Commission issued its Order Denying Rehearing on April 16, 2003. Progressive Hydro claims that as a result of these actions Grant PUD successfully prevented competition for the new license for the Priest Rapids Hydroelectric Project, for the deadline for filing competing applications for the new license was October 31, 2003. Progressive Hydro requests that the Commission find that, as a result of Grant PUD's conduct that the Commission must:

(1)Refuse to issue a new license to Grant PUD;

(2)declare that the Priest Rapids Project is an “orphaned” project; and

(3)solicit applications for a new license from all interested entities except Grant PUD.

When EPA identifies a comment containing copyrighted material, EPA will provide a reference to that material in the version of the comment that is placed in EDOCKET. The entire printed comment, including the copyrighted material, will be available in the public docket. Although identified as an item in the official docket, information claimed as CBI, or whose disclosure is otherwise restricted by statute, is not included in the official public docket, and will not be available for public viewing in EDOCKET. For further information about the electronic docket, see EPA's **Federal Register** notice describing the electronic docket at 67 *FR* 38102 (May 31, 2002), or go to *http://www.epa.gov/edocket.* *Title:* Annual Reporting Form for State Small Business Stationary Source Technical and Environmental Compliance Assistance Programs (SBTCPs). *Abstract:* As part of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, the U.S. Congress included, as part of Section 507, the requirement that each state establish a Small Business Stationary Source Technical and Environmental Compliance Assistance Program (SBTCP) to assist small businesses in complying with the Act. EPA must provide the Congress with periodic reports from the EPA Small Business Ombudsman on these programs, including their effectiveness, difficulties encountered, and other relevant information. Each state assistance program will submit requested information to EPA for compilation and summarization. Information collection includes number of full time employees, annual budgets, activities provided and number of small businesses assisted by the SBTCP. Small business case studies and success stories are also requested by EPA. Response to the collection is not required to obtain or retain a benefit. Information in the annual Report to Congress is aggregated and is not of a confidential nature. None of the information collected by this action results in or requests sensitive information of any nature from the states. 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 record keeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 40 hours per response. Burden 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:* States. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 53. *Frequency of Response:* Annually. *Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:* 2,120. *Estimated Total Annual Cost:* $93,216 includes $0 annualized capital or O&M costs. Changes in the Estimates: Since there is no increase or decrease, the burden hour remains at 2,120. Dated: September 4, 2004. Oscar Morales, Director, Collection Strategies Division.
