(304)357-3206. 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 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. Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of this project, or in support of or in opposition to 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. The Commission's rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project provide copies of their protests only to the applicant. 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. The Commission may issue a preliminary determination on non-environmental issues prior to the completion of its review of the environmental aspects of the project. This preliminary determination typically considers such issues as the need for the project and its economic effect on existing customers of the applicant, on other pipelines in the area, and on landowners and communities. For example, the Commission considers the extent to which the applicant may need to exercise eminent domain to obtain rights-of-way for the proposed project and balances that against the non-environmental benefits to be provided by the project. Therefore, if a person has comments on community and landowner impacts from this proposal, it is important either to file comments or to intervene as early in the process as possible. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, protests, and interventions via the Internet in lieu of paper. *See* 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site ( *http://www.ferc.gov* ) under the “e-Filing” link. *Comment Date:* 5 p.m. eastern time on November 26, 2004.

(719)520-4318 (fax). 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 comment date stated below, 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.

CP04-47-000, CP04-38-000, CP04-39-000, and CP04-40-000] Sabine Pass LNG, L.P. and Cheniere Sabine Pass Pipeline Company; Notice of Availability of the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Sabine Pass LNG and Pipeline Project November 12, 2004. The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared a final Environmental Impact Statement

(EIS)on the liquefied natural gas

(LNG)import terminal and natural gas pipeline facilities in Cameron Parish, Louisiana proposed by Sabine Pass LNG, L.P. and Cheniere Sabine Pass Pipeline Company (collectively referred to as Cheniere Sabine) in the above-referenced dockets. The final EIS was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The staff concludes that approval of the proposed project with appropriate mitigating measures as recommended, would have limited adverse environmental impact. The final EIS also evaluates alternatives to the proposal, including system alternatives, alternative sites for the LNG import terminal, and pipeline alternatives. The final EIS also addresses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the following LNG terminal and natural gas pipeline facilities: • A new marine terminal basin connected to the Sabine Pass Channel that would include a ship maneuvering area and two protected berths to unload up to 300 LNG ships per year with a ship capacity ranging up to 250,000 cubic meters (m 3 ) of LNG; • Three all-metal, double-walled, single containment, top-entry LNG storage tanks, each with a nominal working volume of approximately 160,000 m 3 (1,006,400 barrels) and each with secondary containment dikes to contain 110 percent of the gross tank volume; • Sixteen high-pressure submerged combustion vaporizers with a capacity of approximately 180 million cubic feet per day, as well as other associated vaporization equipment; • Instrumentation and safety systems, including hazard detection and fire response systems, ancillary utilities, buildings, and service facilities, including a metering facility; • Packaged natural gas turbine/generator sets to generate power for the LNG terminal; and • Approximately 16 miles of 42-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline, two metering stations, and associated pipeline facilities including launcher and receiver facilities. The purpose of the Sabine Pass LNG and Pipeline Project is to provide the facilities necessary to meet growing demand for natural gas in the United States by providing a reliable supply of natural gas and access to worldwide natural gas reserves. The final EIS has been placed in the public files of the FERC and is available for distribution and public inspection at: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426,

(202)502-8371. A limited number of copies of the final EIS are available from the Public Reference Room identified above. In addition, copies of the final EIS have been mailed to Federal, State, and local agencies; public interest groups; individuals and affected landowners who requested a copy of the final EIS; libraries; newspapers; and parties to this proceeding. In accordance with the Council on Environmental Quality's

(CEQ)regulations implementing the NEPA, no agency decision on a proposed action may be made until 30 days after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency publishes a notice of availability of a final EIS. However, the CEQ regulations provide an exception to this rule when an agency decision is subject to a formal internal appeal process which allows other agencies or the public to make their views known. In such cases, the agency decision may be made at the same time the notice of the final EIS is published, allowing both periods to run concurrently. The Commission's decision for this proposed action is subject to a 30-day rehearing period. Additional information about the project is available from the Commission's Office of External Affairs, at 1-866-208-FERC or on the FERC Internet Web site ( *http://www.ferc.gov* ) using the eLibrary link.

(202)502-8900. j. *Description of Request:* Due to the abnormally dry late summer and fall and the reduced inflow into the Hoist reservoir, Upper Peninsula Power Company (UPPCO) requests to temporarily reduce the minimum flow discharged downstream of the Hoist powerhouse from the required 100 cubic feet per second

(cfs)to 60 cfs. Analysis indicates that at the current rate of discharge from the Hoist reservoir, it appears that the reservoir will be lowered to 1318 feet (mean sea level) by about mid-December. At a water elevation of 1318 feet, no additional water can be released from the Hoist reservoir and there is a danger of the penstocks freezing. There is also a danger of the minimum flows being completely shut down. Therefore, in an effort to conserve water for the winter months and future minimum flows, UPPCO requests the following operation scenario: reduce the minimum flows at the Hoist powerhouses from 100 cfs to 60 cfs, or to the minimum flow rate required for safe operation of the turbine; if the reservoir level drops below 1325 feet, hold a meeting or teleconference with the resource agencies to discuss strategy; if the reservoir level drops below 1320 feet, shut down the turbine and release a minimum flow of approximately 6 cfs to keep the penstock from freezing; if the reservoir level begins to rise while maintaining the 60 cfs minimum flow, and rises to the elevation of 1330 feet, an additional 5 cfs will be released from the Hoist powerhouse via the bypass siphon at McClure; if the reservoir goes above 1332 feet the minimum discharge of 100 cfs will be maintained until the reservoir level goes below 1330 feet or spring runoff occurs. k. *Deadline for Filing Comments or Motions:* December 6, 2004. l. *Locations of the Application:* A copy of the application is available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426 or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at *http://www.ferc.gov* using the “eLibrary” link.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* ), this document announces that an Information Collection Request

(ICR)has been forwarded to the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB)for review and approval. This is a request to renew an existing approved collection (EPA ICR Number 1723.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0320) and combine it with the burden of another ICR (EPA ICR Number 1673.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0294) which will no longer be needed. Also included in this request is a new collection burden for the importation of newly regulated engines. EPA ICR 1723.03 is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2004. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. This ICR describes the nature of the information collection and its estimated burden and cost. DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before January 18, 2005. ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing docket ID number OAR-2004-0086, to

(1)EPA online using EDOCKET (our preferred method), by email to *a-and-r-Docket@epa.gov,* or by mail to: Environmental Protection Agency, EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center, Mail Code 6102T, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460, and

(2)OMB at: Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Attention: Desk Officer for EPA, 725 17th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Lynn Sohacki, Certification and Compliance Division, Vehicle Programs Group, Environmental Protection Agency, 2000 Traverwood Dr., Ann Arbor, MI, 48105; telephone number:

(734)214-4851; fax number:

(734)214-4869; email address: *sohacki.lynn@epa.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In this action EPA is renewing ICR OMB Control Number 2060-0320 (EPA ICR Number 1723, originally “Information Requirements for Importation of Nonconforming Marine Engines”) and is combining the burden of that ICR with ICR OMB Control Number 2060-0294 (EPA ICR Number 1673) “Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for Importation of Nonconforming Compression Ignition

(CI)and Small Spark Ignition

(SI)Engines.” The title of the new combined ICR will be Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for Importation of Nonroad Engines and Recreational Vehicles. It is appropriate at this time to combine the two ICRs because the line between marine and nonroad engines has become less distinct. Engines that were originally manufactured as nonroad engines may be converted to be used as marine engines and marine engines may be used as nonroad engines. EPA is also adding to this ICR the information collection burden for the importation of newly regulated vehicles and engines: locomotives, marine compression ignition vehicles and engines over 37 kW, recreational vehicles (such as off-highway motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, and snowmobiles), and large non-road spark ignition engines (such as forklifts and compressors). In light of this, EPA Form 3520-21, which collects information for importation of nonroad engines, is being updated and now will apply to both nonroad and marine engines and recreational vehicles. Therefore, it is appropriate at this time to combine the ICRs under which this information is gathered and add the burden for the newly added engines and recreational vehicles. EPA ICR Number 1673 was just renewed in February, 2004, but EPA ICR Number 1723 expires on November 30, 2004. In this action we include the burden that was just identified and approved in EPA ICR Number 1673 into the renewal of EPA ICR Number 1723. The new combined burden will be identified in EPA ICR Number 1723 and EPA ICR Number 1673 will no longer be needed. EPA submitted EPA ICR Number 1723 to OMB for review and approval according to the procedures prescribed in 5 CFR 1320.12. On June 30, 2004 (69 FR 39463), EPA sought comments on this ICR pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.8(d). EPA received one comment. The commenter suggested that no imports of nonconforming marine engines should be allowed. However, the Clean Air Act sets forth specific allowances for importing noncomplying marine engines, provided they satisfy provisions that implement the goals of the Clean Air Act. One purpose of this ICR is to collect the information necessary to help EPA insure that such engines comply with those requirements. EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID No. OAR-2004-0086, which is available for public viewing at the Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room B102, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC. The EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The telephone number for the Reading Room is

(202)566-1744, and the telephone number for the Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center is

(202)566-1742. An electronic version of the public docket is available through EPA Dockets (EDOCKET) at *http://www.epa.gov/edocket.* Use EDOCKET to submit or view public comments, access the index listing of the contents of the public docket, and access those documents in the public docket that are available electronically. Once in the system, select “search,” then key in the docket ID number identified above. Any comments related to this ICR should be submitted to EPA and OMB within 60 days of this notice. EPA's policy is that public comments, whether submitted electronically or on paper, will be made available for public viewing in EDOCKET as EPA receives them and without change, unless the comment contains copyrighted material, confidential business information (CBI), or other information whose public disclosure is restricted by statute. 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:* Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for Importation of Nonroad Engines and Recreational Vehicles (Renewal) *Abstract:* Individuals and businesses importing on and off-road motor vehicles, motor vehicle engines, or nonroad engines, including nonroad engines incorporated into nonroad equipment or nonroad vehicles, report and keep records of vehicle and engine importations, request prior approval for vehicle and engine importations, or request final admission for vehicles and engines conditionally imported into the U.S. The collection of this information is mandatory in order to ensure compliance of nonroad vehicles and engines with Federal emissions requirements. Joint EPA and Customs regulations at 40 CFR 89.601 *et seq.* , 90.601 *et seq.* , 91.703 *et seq.* , 92.803 *et seq.* , 94.803 *et seq.* , 1068.301 *et seq.* , and 19 CFR 12.73 and 12.74 promulgated under the authority of Clean Air Act sections 203 and 208 give authority for the collection of information. This authority was extended to nonroad engines and vehicles under section 213. The information is used by program personnel to ensure that all Federal emission requirements concerning imported motor vehicles and nonroad engines are met. 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 are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are identified on the form, if applicable. *Burden Statement:* The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.5 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:* Individuals and businesses importing nonroad engines, including those incorporated into nonroad equipment or vehicles, and recreational vehicles. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 3000. *Frequency of Response:* Other—upon importation. *Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:* 86,136. *Estimated Total Annual Cost:* $5,744,175, which includes $0 annualized capital/startup costs, $0 O&M costs, and $5,744,175 annual labor costs. *Changes in the Estimates:* There is a net increase of 7,200 hours in the combined burden of EPA ICR Number 1723 and EPA ICR Number 1673 identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This burden is due to the additional burden hours for importers of newly regulated engines and recreational vehicles. Dated: November 8, 2004. Oscar Morales, Director, Collection Strategies Division.
