E5-7738 Filed 12-22-05; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. CP05-413-000] East Tennessee Natural Gas, L.L.C.; Notice of Availability of the Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Jewell Ridge Lateral Project December 13, 2005. The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment
(EA)on the natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by East Tennessee Natural Gas, L.L.C. (East Tennessee) in the above-referenced docket. The EA was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. The staff concludes that approval of the proposed project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of approximately 30.48 miles of 20-inch-diameter pipeline and related appurtenant facilities in Tazewell and Smyth counties, Virginia. The purpose of the project is to connect the CNX Gas Company LLC's existing Cardinal States Gathering System in Tazewell County, Virginia to the East Tennessee interstate pipeline system in Smyth County, Virginia. The proposed pipeline would have the capacity to carry 235,000 dekatherms of natural gas per day. East Tennessee states that the project would also provide an alternate supply source to southeastern natural gas consumers, provide East Tennessee's existing pipeline system customers in Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia enhanced access to new natural gas supplies from the Appalachian basin, and build upon southwest Virginia's existing energy infrastructure. The new lateral would provide some areas, such as Richlands, Cedar Bluff, and Claypool Hill, Virginia, with access to natural gas for the first time. The EA has been placed in the public files of the FERC. A limited number of copies of the EA are 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. Copies of the EA have been mailed to Federal; state; and local agencies; public interest groups; individuals who have requested the EA; libraries; newspapers; and parties to this proceeding. Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. To ensure consideration prior to a Commission decision on the proposal, it is important that we receive your comments before the date specified below. Please carefully follow these instructions to ensure that your comments are received in time and properly recorded: • Send an original and two copies of your comments to: Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First St., NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426; • Label one copy of the comments for the attention of the Gas Branch 3, PJ11.3; • Reference Docket No. CP05-413-000; and • Mail your comments so that they will be received in Washington, DC on or before January 16, 2006. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filing of any comments or interventions or protests to this proceeding.

EPA will acknowledge all responses it receives to this notice. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA)is soliciting pre-proposals for an assistance agreement program (the “State Innovation Grant Program”) in an effort to support innovation by State environmental regulatory agencies. In April 2002, EPA issued its plan for future innovation efforts, published as *Innovating for Better Environmental Result: A Strategy to Guide the Next Generation of Innovation at EPA* (EPA 100-R-02-002; *http://www.epa.gov/innovation/pdf/strategy.pdf).* This assistance agreement program strengthens EPA's partnership with the States by assisting State Innovation that supports the Strategy. EPA would like to help States build on previous experience and undertake strategic innovation projects that promote larger-scale models for “next generation” environmental protection and promise better environmental results. EPA is interested in funding projects that:
(1)Go beyond a single facility experiment to promote change that is “systems-oriented;”
(2)provide better results from a program, process, or sector-wide innovation; and
(3)promote integrated (cross-media) environmental management with high potential for transfer to other States. “Innovation in permitting” is the theme for the 2006 solicitation. Under this theme, EPA is interested in pre-proposals that:
(a)Apply the Environmental Results Program model, an alternative to permitting scheme for small business sectors;
(b)Explore the relationship between Environmental Management Systems and permitting; or
(c)Seek to build State support for EPA's National Environmental Performance Track Program or similar State performance-based environmental leadership programs. EPA interprets “innovation in permitting” broadly to include permitting programs, pesticide licensing programs, and other alternatives or supplements to permitting programs. EPA is interested in creative approaches that both
(1)achieve mandatory Federal and State standards and
(2)encourage performance and address environmental issues above and beyond minimum requirements. This solicitation begins the fourth State Innovation Grant competition. Of the 22 projects that have been awarded in the prior rounds (including those with pending awards) eleven
(11)are for development of Environmental Results Programs, seven
(7)relate to Environmental Management Systems and permitting, two
(2)are to enhance Performance-Based Environmental Leadership programs, two
(2)are for Watershed-based permitting, and one
(1)is Information Technology for the application of Geographic Information Systems
(GIS)to a permitting process. For information on the prior solicitations and awards, please see highlights of previous awards in Attachment 3 of the solicitation, or see the EPA State Innovation Grants Web site at *http://www.epa.gov/innovation/stategrants.* Dated: December 8, 2005.

ACTION: Notice of availability of a final document. SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA)is today announcing the availability of its *Environmental Economics Research Strategy* , EPA/600/R-04/195. The *Environmental Economics Research Strategy* identifies and prioritizes environmental economics and decision science research that will be conducted over the next several years to improve the scientific foundation for EPA's decision-making and policy initiatives. ADDRESSES: A limited number of copies of the Environmental Economics Research Strategy will be available from the National Service Center for Environmental Publications. Request a copy by telephoning 1-800-490-9198 or 513-489-8190 and providing the title and the EPA number for the document, EPA/600/R-04/195. Internet users may download a copy from the EPA's Office of Research and Development home page at *http://www.epa.gov/ord/htm/documents/econresearch.pdf* . The strategy is also available on EPA's National Center for Environmental Economics home page at *http://yosemite.epa.gov/ee/epa/eed.nsf/webpages/homepage* . FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. William Wheeler, National Center for Environmental Research (8722F), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460, telephone: 202-343-9828; facsimile: 202-233-0678; E-mail: *wheeler.william@epa.gov* or Dr. Brian Heninger, National Center for Environmental Economics (1809T), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460, telephone: 202-566-2270; facsimile: 202-566-2338; E-mail: *heninger.brian@epa.gov* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The *Environmental Economics Research Strategy* was developed to guide future environmental economics research at the Agency. This research strategy outlines EPA's effort to provide the necessary behavioral science foundation for making decisions and designing environmental policies at the least cost to American businesses and consumers. To be effective the Agency must understand how people and firms make decisions about and affect the environment, and, in turn, how the environment affects Americans' quality of life. The environmental economics research described in this strategy will become a cornerstone of the economic analyses that EPA needs to develop environmental policy. The *Environmental Economics Research Strategy* was developed by a team from the National Center for Environmental Economics
(NCEE)and the National Center for Environmental Research
(NCER)working with EPA program offices, the Office of Research and Development
(ORD)laboratories and centers, and EPA regions. NCEE provides research support and economic guidance to EPA programs, and NCER manages an economics and decision sciences research grants program. The strategy identifies priorities and research gaps, evaluates research tools, sets strategic research objectives, and suggests responsibilities and sequences for conducting or sponsoring research. EPA programs, other Federal agencies, academics, states, local governments, and others can consult the strategy to understand what EPA has planned and the results the Agency expects. The *Environmental Economics Research Strategy* is in two volumes; the first volume is the strategy itself outlined in four chapters, and the second volume contains seven appendices. Chapter 1 explains the background for developing the strategy. Chapter 2 reports the main findings from the needs assessment survey and workshop. Chapter 3 describes how EPA evaluated the remaining gaps in the research literature in priority economic research areas and developed strategic research goals to implement. Chapter 4 describes the research tools or approaches available to implement the strategy and how EPA plans to use these tools to generate and communicate needed research results. The appendices provide more detail on the needs assessment process and results, discuss the relationship of the strategy to other documents, compare the advantages of different research tools available to EPA, and present the external peer review comments and responses. This *Environmental Economics Research Strategy* was subjected to external peer review by the Environmental Economics Advisory Committee of EPA's Science Advisory Board. The final strategy reflects the comments of both internal and external review. Dated: December 19, 2005. George Gray, Assistant Administrator for Research and Development. [FR Doc.
