BILLING CODE 4000-01-M DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Advance Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for Implementation of the FutureGen Project AGENCY: Department of Energy. ACTION: Advance Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement. SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy

(DOE)is announcing in advance its intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969

(NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321 *et seq.* ), for the proposed action of providing Federal funding (up to $700 million) for the FutureGen Project. FutureGen would comprise the planning, design, construction and operation by a private-sector organization of a coal-fired electric power and hydrogen gas (H 2 ) production plant integrated with carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) capture and geologic sequestration of the captured gas. DOE has prepared this Advance Notice of Intent

(ANOI)in accordance with DOE's NEPA regulations [(10 CFR 1021.311(b)] to inform interested parties of a pending EIS and to invite early public comments on the proposed action, including:

(1)The proposed plans for implementing the FutureGen Project,

(2)the potential range of environmental issues and alternatives to be analyzed, and

(3)the nature of the impact analyses to be considered in the EIS. DOE will later issue a Notice of Intent

(NOI)and initiate a public scoping process during which DOE will conduct public meetings and invite the public to comment on the scope, proposed action, and alternatives to be considered in the EIS. Following President George W. Bush's announcement that the United States would sponsor a $1 billion, 10-year FutureGen initiative to build the world's first coal-based, near-zero emissions power plant that produces both electricity and H 2 , the DOE signed, on December 2, 2005, a Cooperative Agreement (DE-FC26-06NT42073) that provides financial assistance to the FutureGen Industrial Alliance, Inc. (Alliance), which will undertake the planning, design, construction and operation of the project facilities. The FutureGen initiative would establish the technical and economic feasibility of co-producing electricity and H 2 from coal while capturing and sequestering the CO 2 generated in the process. The Alliance is a consortium led by the coal-fueled electric power industry and the coal production industry. Members of the Alliance collectively own and produce over 40 percent of the Nation's coal and about 20 percent of its coal-fueled electricity. The Alliance would plan, design, construct and operate the FutureGen power plant and the sequestration facility. The Alliance would also monitor, measure, and verify geologic sequestration of CO 2 . DOE will provide technical and programmatic guidance to the Alliance, retain certain review and approval rights as defined in the Cooperative Agreement, and oversee Alliance activities for compliance with the terms of the Cooperative Agreement. DOE will be responsible for NEPA compliance activities. Both DOE and the Alliance would consider ways for state and local agencies, local communities, the environmental community, international stakeholders, and research organizations to participate in the Project, including involvement in testing, monitoring and verification protocols for CO 2 sequestration. DATES: DOE invites Federal agencies, Native American Tribes, state and local governments, other organizations and members of the public to provide early assistance in environmental planning for the FutureGen Project and to identify significant environmental issues and alternatives to be analyzed in the forthcoming FutureGen Project EIS. DOE will consider public comments and other relevant information relating to environmental planning for the FutureGen Project. Comments in response to this ANOI are requested by March 20, 2006. DOE anticipates issuing a NOI to prepare an EIS for the FutureGen Project after DOE makes a preliminary determination regarding the alternative sites to be evaluated. After the NOI is issued, DOE will conduct public scoping meetings to assist in defining the scope of the EIS, including alternative sites and issues to be addressed. The dates and locations of the scoping meetings will be announced in the NOI or subsequent **Federal Register** notices and in local media before the meetings. ADDRESSES: Written comments or suggestions on the scope of the EIS should be submitted to Mark L. McKoy, NEPA Document Manager for the FutureGen Project, U.S. Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory P.O. Box 880, Morgantown, West Virginia, 26507-0880.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background President Bush announced during 2003 that the United States has committed to proceed with a $1 billion, 10-year project to build the world's first coal-fueled plant to produce electricity and H 2 with near-zero emissions. In response to this announcement, the U.S. Department of Energy unveiled plans for a FutureGen plant that would establish the technical and economic feasibility of producing electricity and H 2 from coal—a low-cost and abundant energy resource—while capturing and geologically storing the CO 2 generated in the process. The FutureGen Project would showcase cutting-edge technologies that could address environmental concerns associated with the use of coal. DOE plans to implement the FutureGen Project through a cooperative agreement that provides financial assistance to the FutureGen Industrial Alliance, Inc., which is a non-profit corporation that represents a global coalition of coal and energy companies. Members of the Alliance are expected to provide an estimated $250 million to help fund project development. The Alliance members are: American Electric Power; BHP Billiton; the China Huaneng Group; CONSOL Energy Inc.; Foundation Coal; Kennecott Energy, a member of the Rio Tinto Group; Peabody Energy; and Southern Company. The U.S. government and foreign governments would invest about $700 million in the project. The Alliance is a consortium of industrial companies that collectively own and produce over 40 percent of the Nation's coal and about 20 percent of the Nation's coal-fueled electricity. The Alliance is:

(a)Geographically diverse by including both eastern and western domestic coal producers and coal-fueled electricity generators; and

(b)resource diverse by including producers and users of the full range of coal types. Purpose and Need for Agency Action In pursuing its goal of providing safe, affordable and clean energy for the citizens of the United States, DOE has determined that coal, as the Nation's most abundant fossil fuel resource, must play an important role in the Nation's efforts to increase its energy independence. DOE has identified a need for a near-zero emissions, coal-to-energy option that would produce electric power and H 2 from coal while permanently sequestering CO 2 in deep geological formations. The technical, economic, and environmental feasibility of producing electric power and H 2 from coal, when coupled with geologic sequestration technology, must be proven. The electricity and transportation sectors are responsible for nearly three-fourths of the country's anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. The continued use of coal entails the need to address environmental and greenhouse gas mitigation challenges. A key DOE mission is to ensure that fossil fuels—particularly coal—are available components of the future energy mix. An alternative source of fuel for the transportation sector, such as coal-derived H 2 , could also reduce our dependence on fuel imports. In the absence of proven operations of a large, integrated, near-zero emissions power plant, the contribution of coal to the energy mix could be reduced if environmental regulations continue to tighten. This could cause an imbalance in the diversity of the domestic energy portfolio, which would impact energy security. Accordingly, DOE needs to promote development of such a facility to address the environmental concerns over the use of coal, thus protecting both energy diversity and security. Proposed Action DOE proposes to provide financial assistance (up to $700 million) for the Alliance to plan, design, construct, and operate the FutureGen facility, an advanced integrated coal gasification combined cycle power plant and CO 2 sequestration facility sized nominally at 275 MW (equivalent output). The goal of this initiative would be to prove the technical and economic feasibility of a near-zero emissions, coal-to-energy option that could be deployed by 2020. During the first phase of the project, the Alliance and DOE will quantify the specific emissions objectives of the project. The facility would co-produce electric power and H 2 in an industrial/utility setting while capturing and geologically sequestering approximately one to two million metric tons of CO 2 per year. As discussed further below, the FutureGen Project would incorporate both cutting-edge research and demonstrations of emerging technologies ready for testing at a large scale to achieve its goal of validating the technical and economic feasibility of an integrated near-zero emissions plant. Establishing the technical feasibility and projected economic viability of a near-zero emissions, coal-based system that integrates advanced technologies at a large scale through the FutureGen Project would contribute to DOE's goals by: • Addressing environmental issues and barriers to fossil fuel use, while maintaining the availability and affordability of fossil-fuel-derived energy; • improving energy efficiency; • developing technologies that foster a diverse supply of reliable, affordable, and environmentally sound energy; • providing scientific and technological information and analysis to assist policymakers and regulators in their decision-making on control of greenhouse gas emissions and use of fossil fuels; and • focusing on public benefits-driven investment in high-risk, high-return technology that private companies alone cannot undertake. The FutureGen facility is intended to be a near-zero emissions facility that would be the cleanest fossil-fuel-based power system in the world. The project would require approximately 10 years for completion, not including post-project monitoring. Performance and economic tests results would be shared among all participants, industry, the environmental community, and the public. DOE intends to invite participation from international organizations to maximize the global applicability and acceptance of FutureGen's results, helping to support an international consensus on the role of coal and geological sequestration in addressing global greenhouse gas emissions and energy security. Broad engagement of stakeholders early in the FutureGen effort is critical to the successful achievement of understanding and acceptance of geologic sequestration as part of a near-zero emissions, coal-based energy option. FutureGen Project Processes The FutureGen Project would employ advanced coal gasification technology integrated with combined cycle electricity generation, H 2 production, CO 2 capture and CO 2 sequestration in geologic repositories. The gasification process would combine coal, oxygen (O 2 ), and steam to produce a H 2 -rich “synthesis gas.” After exiting the conversion reactor, the composition of the synthesis gas would be “shifted” to produce additional H 2 . The product stream would consist mostly of H 2 , steam, and CO 2 . Following separation of these three gas components, the H 2 would be used to generate electricity in a gas turbine and/or fuel cell. Some of the H 2 could be used as a feedstock for chemical plants or petroleum refineries or as a transportation fuel. Steam from the process could be condensed, treated, and recycled into the gasifier or added to the plant's cooling water circuit. CO 2 from the process would be sequestered in deep underground geologic formations that would be monitored to verify the permanence of CO 2 storage. Overall Project Objectives • Establish technical and economic feasibility of producing electricity and H 2 from coal with near-zero emissions (including CO 2 ); • Verify sustained, integrated operation of coal conversion system with geologic sequestration of CO 2 ; • Verify effectiveness, safety, and permanence of geologic sequestration of CO 2 ; • Establish standardized technologies and protocols for CO 2 measuring, monitoring, and verification; • Confirm the potential of the FutureGen concept to achieve economic competitiveness with other near-zero emissions approaches through advances in technology by 2020; and • Gain acceptance by the coal and electricity industries, environmental community, international community, and public-at-large for the concept of coal-based systems with near-zero emissions through the successful operation of FutureGen. Power Plant Performance Objectives • Sequester CO 2 at an operational rate of approximately one to two million metric tons per year; • Produce electricity and H 2 at ratios (may be variable) consistent with market needs (equivalent to plant capacity of 275 MW electricity output); • Sequester at least 90 percent of CO 2 initially with the eventual potential for up to 100 percent sequestration; • Locate plant consistent with, inter alia, adequate coal feedstock availability, proximity to market for products (especially electricity) as part of proving potential economic viability, and proximity to geologic formations for sequestration ( *e.g.* , deep saline reservoirs, unmineable coal seams, depleted oil and natural gas reservoirs, basalt formations); • Achieve environmental (near-zero emissions) requirements; • Provide a design database for subsequent, near-zero emissions, commercial demonstrations and/or deployments; and • Design capability for full-flow testing of advanced technologies and advanced technology modules, and design incorporation of loosely integrated units that increase flexibility and enhance operability and reliability. CO 2 Sequestration Monitoring and Verification Performance Objectives • Accurately quantify storage potential of the geologic formation(s); • Detect and monitor surface and subsurface leakage, if it occurs (capability to measure CO 2 slightly above atmospheric concentration of 370 ppm), and demonstrate effectiveness of mitigation; • Provide the scientific basis for carbon accounting and assurance of permanent storage; • Account for co-sequestration of CO 2 impurities; and • Develop information necessary to estimate costs of future CO 2 management systems. Technology Alternatives The FutureGen Project would incorporate both cutting-edge research and demonstrations of emerging technologies ready for testing at a large scale to achieve its goal of validating the technical and economic feasibility of an integrated near-zero emissions plant. The FutureGen power plant would be designed to provide a capability for full-scale testing of new technologies prior to their commercial demonstration and deployment. The FutureGen facility may integrate some combination of new technologies for gasification, O 2 production, H 2 production, combustion gas cleanup, H 2 turbines, fuel cells and fuel cell/turbine hybrids, CO 2 sequestration, advanced materials, instrumentation, sensors and controls, and byproduct utilization. Decisions on incorporation of specific technologies would be made by the Alliance keeping in mind the ability to achieve the overall project goal of proving the technical and economic feasibility of the near-zero emissions concept. Alternatives, Including the Proposed Action Under the proposed action, DOE would implement the FutureGen Project to achieve the President's goals. The EIS will analyze the reasonable alternatives for implementing the FutureGen Project. Once a list of best qualified sites is delivered by the Alliance to DOE, DOE will consider all of the available alternatives in ascertaining which ones are reasonable. The EIS also may analyze technologies and strategies for implementing important elements of the Project. Under the no-action alternative, DOE would not fund the proposed Project. In the absence of DOE funding, it would be unlikely that the Alliance, or industry in general, would soon undertake the utility-scale integration of CO 2 capture and geologic sequestration with a coal-fired power plant. Absent DOE's investment in a utility-scale facility, the development of integrated CO 2 capture and sequestration with power plant operations could occur more slowly through a series of small steps, and only then in the presence of a regulatory requirement. Given a regulatory requirement for the curtailment of greenhouse gas emissions, the no-action alternative could result in higher costs of electricity due to the use of more expensive, commercially available technology and due to a reduction in plant availability as a result of the lack of integrated test operations data and experience that would have otherwise been available from a FutureGen-type facility. DOE may consider other reasonable alternatives that are suggested during the public scoping period. Preliminary Identification of Environmental Issues DOE intends to address the issues listed below when considering the potential impacts resulting from the siting, construction and operation of the FutureGen power plant. This list is neither intended to be all-inclusive nor a predetermined set of potential impacts. DOE invites comments on these and any other issues that should be considered in the EIS. The environmental issues include: • *Air quality impacts:* potential for air emissions during construction and operation of the power plant and appurtenant facilities to impact local sensitive receptors, local environmental conditions, and special-use areas, including impacts to smog and haze and impacts from dust and any significant vapor plumes; • *Noise and light impacts:* potential impacts from construction, transportation of materials, and facility operations; • *Traffic issues:* potential impacts from the construction and operation of the facilities, including changes in local traffic patterns, deterioration of roads, traffic hazards, and traffic controls; • *Floodplains:* potential impacts to flood flow resulting from earthen fills, access roads, and dikes that might be needed in a floodplain; • *Wetlands:* potential impacts resulting from fill, sediment deposition, vegetation clearing and facility erection that might be needed in a wetland; • *Visual impacts associated with facility structures:* views from neighborhoods, impacts to scenic views ( *e.g.* , impacts from water vapor plumes, power transmission lines, pipelines), internal and external perception of the community or locality; • *Historic and cultural resources:* potential impacts from the site selection, design, construction and operation of the facilities; • *Water quality impacts:* potential impacts from water utilization and consumption, plus potential impacts from wastewater discharges; • *Infrastructure and land use impacts:* potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts of project site selection, construction, delivery of feed materials, and distribution of products ( *e.g.* , power transmission lines, pipelines); • Marketability of products and market access to feed stocks; • *Solid wastes:* pollution prevention plans and waste management strategies, including the handling of ash, slag, water treatment sludge, and hazardous materials; • Disproportionate impacts on minority and low-income populations; • *Connected actions:* potential development of support facilities or supporting infrastructure; • *Ecological:* potential on-site and off-site impacts to vegetation, terrestrial wildlife, aquatic wildlife, threatened or endangered species, and ecologically sensitive habitats; • *Geologic impacts:* potential impacts from the sequestration of CO 2 and other captured gases on underground resources such as potable water supplies, mineral resources, and fossil fuel resources; • Ground surface impacts from CO 2 sequestration: potential impacts from leakage of injected CO 2 , potential impacts from induced flows of native fluids to the ground surface or near the ground surface, and the potential for induced ground heave and/or microseisms; • Fate and stability of sequestered CO 2 and other captured gases; • Health and safety issues associated with CO 2 capture and sequestration; • Cumulative effects that result from the incremental impacts of the proposed project when added to the other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future projects; • Compliance with regulatory requirements and environmental permitting; • Environmental monitoring plans associated with the power plant and with the CO 2 sequestration site; and • Ultimate closure plans for the CO 2 sequestration site and reservoirs. Host Site Selection The Alliance will conduct a site competition to identify one or more candidate sites suitable for the FutureGen facility. The process will be an open competition in which States, tribes, private organizations and other interested parties can offer sites to the Alliance for consideration. The selection process will include the use of both qualification criteria and scoring criteria. Qualification criteria will be used to initially screen proposals and thereby identify qualified sites meriting further evaluation for the FutureGen Project. Scoring criteria will be used by the Alliance to distinguish among the initial set of qualified sites to identify the candidates (proposals and sites) that merit evaluation under the NEPA process. Categories of criteria that will be considered by the Alliance include: Suitability of the proposed site for construction of the power plant, suitability of the proposed sequestration reservoir for permanently sequestering CO 2 , availability of necessary infrastructure and resources ( *e.g.* railroads, roads, natural gas lines, power transmission lines, and water), access, environmental factors, and costs. Following the development of a site selection plan and the site screening criteria and subsequent to DOE approval of these items, the Alliance is issuing a draft Request for Proposals

(RFP)for a two-week comment period. Following the public comment period, the Alliance will issue the final RFP (proposed for March 2006) seeking proposals for a host site. The draft RFP and other information provided by the Alliance will be available at *http://www.FutureGenAlliance.org.* Site proponents will be required to submit information that the Alliance will use to determine how, and the extent to which, each of the screening criteria would be met at each site. Proponents of each site will be required to submit sufficient acceptable technical, environmental and economic information. The RFP will also state that, for those sites that will be analyzed in the EIS, additional information may be requested from site proponents. Such information may require some field work, but will not require drilling of exploratory wells or conducting seismic surveys, because the EIS will be based on readily available information. The Alliance will review the proposals received to identify those sites that are reasonable from a technical, environmental, and economic perspective. At the conclusion of the review of proposals, the Alliance will provide DOE with a report that describes the screening process and findings and identifies the sites that the Alliance concludes are candidates ( *i.e.* , those believed by the Alliance to be reasonable alternatives). DOE will review the Alliance's selection process for fairness, openness and compliance with the established approach. Based on its review of the Alliance's identification of candidate sites and other relevant information, DOE will then preliminarily determine the reasonable alternatives to be addressed in the EIS. DOE's NOI to prepare an EIS for the FutureGen Project will identify the proposed reasonable alternative sites. The Alliance may assist the DOE and DOE contractors in gathering additional information to support completion of the EIS. However, the DOE and DOE contractors will develop the EIS. Following the completion of the EIS and the public involvement process, the DOE will announce in a Record of Decision

(ROD)either the no-action alternative or those sites, if any, that are acceptable to the DOE for the project. If the action alternative is selected, the Alliance will subsequently select a host site from among those, if any, that are listed in the ROD as being acceptable to the DOE. Following the tentative selection of a host site, the Alliance will conduct extensive site characterization work on the chosen site. Information obtained from the characterization will be reviewed by the DOE and will support the completion of a supplement analysis by DOE to determine whether the newly gained information would have altered in a significant way the findings in the EIS. The supplement analysis will be used to determine whether a Supplemental EIS must be prepared. Future Public Involvement This ANOI does not serve as a substitute for the Notice of Intent that will initiate the public scoping process for the FutureGen Project EIS. Following publication of the Notice of Intent, DOE will hold scoping meetings, prepare and distribute the Draft EIS for public review, hold public hearings to solicit public comment on the Draft EIS, and publish a Final EIS. Not less than 30 days after publication of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Notice of Availability of the Final EIS, DOE may issue a Record of Decision documenting its decision concerning the proposed action. Preliminary EIS Schedule DOE anticipates issuance of a NOI to prepare an EIS in July 2006. The NOI or subsequent notices published in the **Federal Register** will announce the dates for public scoping meetings and the target date for completion of a Draft EIS. A Notice of Availability of the Draft EIS will be published in the **Federal Register** upon completion of the Draft EIS and will announce the locations and dates for public hearings on the Draft EIS and the means for providing comments. DOE will hold public hearings at locations comparable to those for the scoping meetings. DOE will consider all comments received at public hearings or otherwise during preparation of the Final EIS.

Big Horn Wind Project LLC (Big Horn) filed an application for market-based rate authority, with an accompanying rate tariff. The proposed rate tariff provides for the sales of energy, capacity and ancillary services at market-based rates. Big Horn also requested waiver of various Commission regulations. In particular, Big Horn requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by Big Horn. On February 8, 2006, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, Division of Tariffs and Market Development—West, granted the request for blanket approval under Part 34. The Director's order also stated that the Commission would publish a separate notice in the **Federal Register** establishing a period of time for the filing of protests. Accordingly, any person desiring to be heard or to protest the blanket approval of issuances of securities or assumptions of liability by Big Horn should file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. 18 CFR 385.211, 385.214 (2004).

Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, Big Horn is authorized to issue securities and assume obligations or liabilities as a guarantor, indorser, surety, or otherwise in respect of any security of another person; provided that such issuance or assumption is for some lawful object within the corporate purposes of Big Horn, compatible with the public interest, and is reasonably necessary or appropriate for such purposes. The Commission reserves the right to require a further showing that neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected by continued approval of Big Horn's issuances of securities or assumptions of liability.

Take notice that on February 1, 2006, Southern Natural Gas Company (Southern), Post Office Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563, filed in Docket No. CP06-58-000 an application pursuant to sections 7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act

(NGA)for:

(1)Permission and approval to abandon certain pipeline and appurtenant facilities in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, and certain compression facilities in St Clair County, Alabama; and

(2)construct, install, and operate certain pipeline facilities in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. This filing may also be viewed on the Commission's website at *http://www.ferc.gov* using the “eLibrary” link, select “Docket #” and follow the instructions (call 202-502-8222 or for TTY, 202-502-8659). Southern proposes to abandon in place approximately 4.55 miles of 22-inch diameter pipeline and to abandon and remove approximately 6.36 miles of 22-inch diameter pipeline on its McConnells North Main Loop in Tuscaloosa County. Southern also proposes to construct, install, and operate approximately 6.1 miles of 24-inch diameter pipeline on its 2nd North Main Loop to replace the abandoned 6.36 miles of 22-inch diameter pipeline on the North Main Loop. Southern states that it no longer needs the Pell City Unit No. 3 at the Pell City compressor station in St. Clair County to meet peak demands because of capacity turnbacks on the Gadsden Lateral Line. Southern proposes to abandon the Pell City Unit No. 3 in place by disconnecting it from all existing gas piping system connections, including fuel gas and installing blind flanges at these points. Additionally, Southern states that electric power will be disconnected from the unit such that all control systems will be inoperable. Southern estimates that it will spend $8,422,474 for this proposal with funds on hand and cash from future operations. Southern states that its existing customers would not lose any service because of the proposed abandonment. Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Patricia S. Francis, Senior Counsel, Southern Natural Gas Company, Post Office Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563 at

(205)325-7696. 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. 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. Comments, protests and interventions 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. *Comment Date:* March 2, 2006. Magalie R. Salas, Secretary. [FR Doc.

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) regulations (18 CFR Part 380), Commission staff reviewed the applications for licenses for the Nantahala, Franklin, and Mission projects (Nantahala West Projects) and prepared a draft combined environmental assessment (EA). The projects are located on the Nantahala, Little Tennessee, and Hiwassee rivers, respectively, in Macon and Clay counties, North Carolina. In this draft EA, Commission staff analyze the probable environmental effects of implementing the projects and conclude that approval of the projects, with appropriate staff-recommended environmental measures, would not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. Copies of the draft EA are available for review in Public Reference Room 2-A of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC. The draft EA also may be viewed on the Commission's Internet Web site ( *http://www.ferc.gov* ) using the “eLibrary” link.

Before submitting the ICR to OMB for review and approval, EPA is soliciting comments on specific aspects of the proposed information collection as described below. DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before April 17, 2006. ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing docket ID number EPA-HQ-RCRA-2006-0069, by one of the following methods: • *www.regulations.gov:* Follow the on-line instructions for submitting comments. • E-mail: *rcra-docket@epa.gov.* • Fax: 202-566-0272. • Mail: RCRA Docket (5305T), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460. • Hand Delivery: 1301 Constitution Ave., NW., Room B102, Washington, DC 20460.

(iii)Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

(iv)Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, *e.g.* , permitting electronic submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork burden for very small businesses affected by this collection. What Should I Consider When I Prepare My Comments for EPA? You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your comments: 1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific examples. 2. Describe any assumptions that you used. 3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used that support your views. 4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you arrived at the estimate that you provide. 5. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity. 6. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified under DATES . 7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and **Federal Register** citation.

Part A defines the processes to be used for treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes; the design capacity of such processes; and the specific hazardous wastes to be handled at the facility. Part B requires detailed site-specific information such as geologic, hydrologic, and engineering data. In the event that permit modifications are proposed by the applicant or EPA, modifications must conform to the requirements under Sections 3004 and 3005. This ICR provides a comprehensive discussion of the requirements for owner/operators of TSDFs submitting applications for a Part B permit or permit modification. The information collections contained in this ICR are divided into three sections: demonstrations and exemptions from requirements (40 CFR part 264), contents of the part B application (40 CFR part 270), and permit modifications and special permits (40 CFR part 270). *Burden Statement:* The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 165 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 which have subsequently changed; 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. The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: *Estimated total number of potential respondents:* 74. *Frequency of response:* On occasion. *Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:* 74. *Estimated total annual burden hours:* 12,209. *Estimated total annual costs:* $3,251,920. This includes an estimated burden cost of $783,682 and an estimated cost of $2,468,238 for capital investment and maintenance and operational costs. What Is the Next Step in the Process for This ICR? EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue another **Federal Register** notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Dated: January 31, 2006.

ACTION: Notice of proposed agreement; request for public comment. SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of section 122(h)(1) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. 9622(h)(1), notice is hereby given of the proposed administrative settlement under section 122(h) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9622(h) between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and Chemical Specialties Incorporated (Chemical Specialties) (collectively, “Settling Parties”). Chemical Specialties consents to and will not contest EPA's authority to enter into this Agreement or to implement or enforce its terms. By entering into this Agreement, the mutual objective of the Settling Parties is to avoid difficult and prolonged litigation by Chemical Specialties making a monetary payment to address its alleged civil liability for the Site. In return, the Chemical Specialties receives a Covenant Not to Sue by the EPA. The EPA has incurred response costs, starting in January 2003 and extending through June 2004, totaling approximately $239,636.70, and additional response costs from June 2004 to the present. EPA alleges that Chemical Specialties is a responsible party pursuant to Section 107(a) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9607(a), and is jointly and severally liable for response costs incurred and to be incurred at or in connection with the Site. EPA has reviewed the Financial Information submitted by the Chemical Specialties to determine whether the Chemical Specialties is financially able to pay response costs incurred and to be incurred at the Site. Based upon this Financial Information, and its review completed July 13, 2005, EPA has determined that Chemical Specialties has limited financial ability to pay for response costs incurred and to be incurred at and in connection with the Site. Chemical Specialties has agreed to pay to the EPA Hazardous Substance Superfund $22,000.00, plus an additional amount for interest. The Settling Parties recognize that this Agreement has been negotiated in good faith and that this Agreement is entered into without the admission or adjudication of any issue of fact or law. DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before March 20, 2006. For thirty

(30)days following the date of publication of this notice, the Agency will receive written comments relating to the agreement.

Proposed Project Economic Evaluation Of Walking Behavior In Sedentary Adults Age 50 Years And Older—New—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The CDC is requesting approval of a pilot test to better understand the barriers to increased physical activity and the potential impact of modest financial incentives to promote walking among sedentary adults aged 50 years and older. The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data reveal that Americans in general and older adults in particular do not meet minimum recommendations for levels of physical activity. Moderate increases in physical activity would decrease the incidence of diseases promoted by inactivity, including several types of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. However, strategies that effectively motivate sedentary people to increase and maintain levels of regular physical activity have yet to be identified. CDC proposes to use this effort to investigate the impact of one type of intervention (financial incentives) on levels of physical activity. CDC will conduct a stated preference

(SP)survey to identify the barriers to leisure time physical activity and the size of the incentives necessary to overcome these barriers among sedentary adults age 50 and older. A pilot test of the impact of specific amounts of financial incentives on levels of walking among this population will also be conducted via a reveled preference

(RP)pedometer experiment in the Raleigh, North Carolina, metropolitan area. The SP survey will be a one-time effort in which respondents belonging to an online survey panel will complete a computer survey over the Internet. In the RP portion of the project, a local sample of respondents will complete an identical survey on paper. The RP respondents will also wear a pedometer for 4 weeks and record the number of steps walked in a diary. Data will be collected from the diaries and from the 7-day history in each pedometer unit. Respondents will receive a modest incentive payment for the number of steps they walk above a predetermined floor and below a predetermined ceiling. The results of the survey will be used to gauge the size of the incentives necessary to motivate behavior change in a real world setting. The results of the pilot test will provide initial evidence of the magnitude of the incentives necessary to increase levels of physical activity among a specific sample of older adults. The total costs and effectiveness (changes in physical activity) can then be compared to similar data emanating from other interventions designed to increase levels of physical activity. Statistical analysis of the SP survey and RP data will be used. Since neither form of data collection is based on a random sample, conclusions will be preliminary and not generalizable. The analysis will be used to evaluate whether further comprehensive research on this subject should be undertaken. There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 1058. *Estimated Annualized Burden Hours:* Respondents Form/activity Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Average burden per response (in hours) SP survey participants SP survey (online) 500 1 25/60 RP survey participants Informed consent 300 1 5/60 Initial meeting 300 1 1 SP survey (paper) 300 1 25/60 Daily steps diary 300 4 20/60 Dated: February 9, 2006.

Proposed Project Public Health Injury Surveillance and Prevention Program—Traumatic Brain Injuries (0920-05AB)—New—The National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Injury is the leading cause of death and disability among children and young adults. In 2000, more than 148,000 people died from injuries. Among them: 43,354 died from motor-vehicle crashes; 29,350 died from suicide; 16,765 died from homicide; 13,322 died from unintentional falls; 12,757 from unintentional poisonings; 3,482 died from unintentional drowning; 3,377 died from fires. These external causes often result in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Each year, an estimated 1.5 million Americans sustain a TBI. As a consequence of these TBI injuries: 230,000 people are hospitalized and survive; 50,000 people die; 80,000 to 90,000 people experience the onset of long-term disability. An estimated 5.3 million Americans live with a permanent TBI-related disability. However, this estimate does not include people with “mild” TBI who are seen in emergency departments or outpatient encounters, nor those who do not receive medical care. The annual economic burden of TBI in the United States has been estimated at $56.3 billion in 1995 however, human costs of the long-term impairments and disabilities associated with TBI are incalculable. Because many TBI related disabilities are not conspicuous deficits, they are referred to as the invisible or silent epidemic. These disabilities, arising from cognitive, emotional, sensory, and motor impairments, often permanently alter a person's ability to maximize daily life experiences and have profound effects on social and family relationships. To implement more effective programs to prevent these injuries, we need reliable data on their causes and risk factors. State surveillance data can be used to: Identify trends in TBI incidence; enable the development of cause-specific prevention strategies focused on populations at greatest risk and monitor the effectiveness of such programs. This project will develop and sustain injury surveillance programs including those with a focus on TBI and emergency department surveillance for mild TBI. The goal of this program is to produce data of demonstrated quality that will

(a)be useful to State injury prevention and control programs,

(b)enable states to produce injury indicators,

(c)enable estimates of TBI incidence and public health consequences and

(d)facilitate the use of TBI surveillance data to link individuals with information about TBI services. Program recipients will collect information from pre-existing state data sets to calculate injury indicators in their state. In addition a small group of states will review and abstract medical records to obtain data for variables that address severity of injury, circumstances and etiology of injury, and early outcome of injury, in a large representative sample of reported cases of TBI-related hospitalization and mild TBI-related emergency department visits. The abstracted data will be stripped of all identifying information before submitting to CDC. States will use standardized data elements. The number of state health departments to be funded for data abstraction may be as high as 12. The only cost to the respondents is the time involved to complete the data abstraction. The estimated total burden hours are 12000. *Estimated annualized burden table* Respondents Number of respondents Number of responses/ respondent Average burden/response (in hours) State Health Departments 12 1000 60/60 Dated: February 9, 2006.

Proposed Project Issues Related to the Use of Mass Media in African-American Women: Phase II—New—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Coordinating Center for Health Promotion (CoCHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Women's health programs, including the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP), offer low-cost or free breast cancer screening to uninsured, low-income women. In 1991, CDC established the NBCCEDP to increase breast and cervical cancer screening among uninsured, underserved, low-income women. To date, over 1.5 million women have received services from NBCCEDP-sponsored programs. Yet NBCCEDP-sponsored programs are estimated to reach only 18% of women 50 years old and older who are eligible for screening services. A research priority for the NBCCEDP is to identify effective strategies to increase enrollment among eligible women who have never received breast or cervical cancer screening. Why women do not participate in this screening is not well understood. As part of an ongoing study, the purpose of this task is to

(1)test consumer response to concepts that arose in the Phase I formative research related to breast cancer screening and

(2)test a series of radio health messages aimed at increasing mammography screening among low-income African American women for cultural appropriateness. There are no costs to respondents except their time to participate in the survey. *Estimated annualized burden table:* Respondents Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Average burden per response (in hrs.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry entitled “Reports on the Status of Postmarketing Study Commitments—Implementation of Section 130 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997.” Section 506B (“Reports of Postmarketing Studies”) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 356b) provides FDA with additional authority for monitoring the progress of postmarketing studies that drug and biological applicants have made a commitment to conduct. Postmarketing studies are those studies conducted after approval to gather additional information about the safety, efficacy, or optimal use of the approved drug or biological product. Under section 506B(a) of the act, an applicant who has entered into an agreement with FDA to conduct a postmarketing study is required to provide the agency with an annual report on the status of the study until FDA notifies the applicant, in writing, that all postmarketing study commitments established under the application(s) have either been fulfilled or have been released. The annual report must address the progress of the study or the reasons for the failure of the applicant to conduct the study. Section 506B(c) of the act directs FDA to develop and publish annually in the **Federal Register** a report on the status of postmarketing studies that applicants have made a commitment to conduct and for which status reports have been submitted. In the **Federal Register** of October 30, 2000 (65 FR 64607), the agency published a final rule to implement section 506B of the act. The final rule makes several changes to the existing regulations for approved human drugs and licensed biological products. In the **Federal Register** of April 4, 2001 (66 FR 17912), FDA published a notice announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled “Reports on the Status of Postmarketing Studies—Implementation of Section 130 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997.” The notice gave interested persons an opportunity to submit comments by July 3, 2001. A number of comments were received in the docket for the 2001 draft guidance. After careful consideration of the comments, the draft guidance was revised. In addition to edits to improve clarity, the substantive changes made to the draft guidance included an update of the types of postmarketing studies currently required by FDA and an improved explanation of the procedures for establishing and revising study schedules. This guidance is intended to provide information on the following:

(1)Procedures concerning the submission of postmarketing study commitment status reports;

(2)the content and format of a postmarketing study commitment status report;

(3)timeframes for FDA's review of postmarketing study commitment final study reports; and

(4)information about postmarketing study commitments that will be available to the public. This guidance applies to postmarketing study commitments for approved human drug products and licensed biological products that meet the definition of “drug” under the act. It does not apply to biological products that meet the definition of medical “device” under the act; or to veterinary drug products, which will be addressed separately. This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the agency's current thinking on the submission of postmarketing study commitment reports for approved human drug or licensed biological products. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 This guidance refers to previously approved collections of information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB)under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). The collections of information in 21 CFR 314.81 and 601.70 have been approved under OMB control numbers 0910-0001 and 0910-0433.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed to remove the bald eagle from the list of threatened species under the Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 *et seq.* ) (see our re-opening of the public comment period on the proposed rule to delist the bald eagle, published separately in this part of today's **Federal Register** ). If the bald eagle is delisted, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) (16 U.S.C. 668-668d) will become the primary law protecting bald eagles. BGEPA prohibits take of bald and golden eagles and provides a statutory definition of “take” that includes “disturb.” To provide guidance to land managers, landowners, and others, the Service has developed draft National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines. In the event the bald eagle is delisted, the guidelines will provide the public with information on how to avoid disturbing bald eagles. Secondly, the guidelines include recommended additional practices that can benefit bald eagles. The draft guidelines are based on the definition of “disturb” that we are making available for public comment in a proposed rule published separately in this part of today's **Federal Register** . Dated: October 31, 2005. H. Dale Hall, Director. [FR Doc. 06-1441 Filed 2-15-06; 8:45 am]
