CP06-66-000, CP06-67-000, CP06-68-000] Port Barre Investments, L.L.C. (d/b/a Bobcat Gas Storage); Notice of Application February 23, 2006. On February 15, 2006, in Docket Nos. CP06-66-000, CP06-67-000 and CP06-68-000, Port Barre Investments, L.L.C. (d/b/a Bobcat Gas Storage (Bobcat)), pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, as amended, and sections 157 Subparts A and F, and section 284 Subpart G of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations, filed requests for: authorization to construct, own, and operate the Bobcat Gas Storage Project; a Subpart F construction, operation and abandonment blanket certificate (CP06-67-000); and, for a Subpart G transportation blanket certificate (CP06-68-000). Bobcat also seeks: approval of its pro forma tariff; authorization to charge market-based rates for the proposed storage services; and waiver of certain Commission regulations. Further, Bobcat asks that the Commission issue requested authorizations by July 15, 2006, so that construction may begin by September 2006 and initial storage operations can commence by the winter 2007 heating season. Start-up in this timeframe also would coincide with proposed in-service dates of certain Gulf Coast region liquefied natural gas import terminals. The new, high-deliverability storage facility would be located in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana in close proximity to Eunice, Louisiana and the Henry Hub. The facility would have interconnections with five interstate and one intrastate gas pipeline systems. Due to the sequential construction process associated with the four phases of the Project, Bobcat requests that the Commission authorize construction over a five-year period. Questions concerning the application should be directed to Paul Bieniawski at Bobcat Gas Storage, 14090 Southwest Freeway, Suite 460, Sugar Land, Texas 77478-3679, or by calling
(281)242-2381 or Lisa Tonery at, King & Spalding LLP, 1185 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10036 or by calling 212-556-2307. 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. 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. 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 at *http://www.ferc.gov* . The Commission strongly encourages intervenors to file electronically. The Commission may issue a preliminary determination on non-environmental issues prior to the completion of its review of the environmental aspects of the Projects. This preliminary determination typically considers such issues as the need for the Project and its economic effect on other pipelines in the area and on land and communities.

E6-2875 Filed 2-28-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket Nos. CP02-378-004] Cameron LNG, LLC; Notice of Application February 23, 2006. Take notice that on January 26, 2006, as supplemented on February 21, 2006, Cameron LNG, LLC (Cameron LNG), 101 Ash Street, San Diego, CA 92101, filed in the above referenced docket, an application to amend its authorizations to construct and operate its liquefied natural gas
(LNG)import terminal issued pursuant to section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and Part 153 of the Commission's regulations. Specifically, Cameron LNG requests amended section 3 authority approving certain pre-investment terminal facility modifications. Any questions regarding Cameron LNG's application should be directed to: Carlos F. Pen a, Senior Regulatory Counsel, HQ13, 101 Ash Street, San Diego, CA 92101, phone
(619)696-4320. Cameron LNG requests an amended Section 3 authorization which would approve certain LNG terminal facility modifications. Cameron LNG has proposed an expansion of its LNG terminal which is being examined by the Commission and interested parties in a Pre-Filing Process under Docket No. PF06-10-000. In advance of that proposed expansion, Cameron LNG seeks in the above amendment approval for certain modifications to the LNG terminal facilities which have already been approved by the Commission. The fourteen specific modifications requested are more fully described in Cameron LNG's filing. Cameron LNG says these modifications are being proposed to allow the proposed expansion to be fully integrated into the approved base LNG terminal design in as safe a manner as possible with a minimum of downtime and interruption of send out service. Cameron LNG says that it is not now seeking an increase in the physical offload or send out capabilities of the LNG terminal using the proposed modifications. The supplement filed by Cameron LNG on February 21, 2006 included certain critical energy infrastructure information necessary to make its application complete. As proposed by Cameron LNG, the approval of these modifications is not subject to the mandatory Pre-Filing Process required under section 157.21(e)(2) of the Commission's Regulations. The scope of the proposed modifications is not significant enough to warrant the Pre-Filing Process because the prospective modifications are not significant enough modifications that would involve state and local safety considerations. 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 commentors 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 commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors 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.

(202)502-8659. North Baja requests authority to develop its expansion in three phases. Specifically, in Phase I, anticipated in-service October 1, 2007, North Baja seeks to:
(1)Modify its existing Ehrenburg Compressor Station in La Paz County, Arizona and Ogilby Meter Station in Imperial County, California to facilitate the bi-directional flow of gas;
(2)Construct a new meter station and a 36-inch diameter pipeline interconnection with the facilities of Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) at the proposed Blythe Meter Station site in Riverside County, California;
(3)Construct a new 42-inch diameter pipeline crossing of the Colorado River to connect the Ehrenberg Compressor Station with the Blythe Meter Station; and
(4)Construct the new 0.625 mile, 10-inch diameter Blythe Energy Interconnect Lateral to connect the Blythe Energy Facility I's existing supply line with the Blythe Meter Station. North Baja states that the proposed facility modifications and additions will allow it to deliver up to 609,000 Dth per day of regassified LNG into California and Arizona from Mexico. In Phase I-A, anticipated in-service June 1, 2009, North Baja proposes to construct and operate the 45.7 mile, 16-inch diameter IID Lateral extending westward from North Baja's existing pipeline through Imperial County, California to the El Centro Generating Station near El Centro California. North Baja states that the IID Lateral will have a capacity of 110,000 Dth per day. In Phase II, anticipated in-service January 1, 2010, North Baja proposes to construct and operate about 80 miles of 48-inch and 42-inch diameter pipeline loop, the B-Line, on its existing mainline (A-Line) in Riverside and Imperial Counties, California. North Baja anticipates that upon completion of the Phase II facilities the capacity of its system will be 2.7 Bcf per day. North Baja estimates that the total cost of all phases of the proposed project will be $291 million. North Baja proposes to incrementally price transportation service on the Blythe Energy Interconnect Lateral and IID Lateral and to roll-in the costs of the looping facilities (Line B) into its existing rates. Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Carl M. Fink, Associate General Counsel, North Baja Pipeline, LLC, 1400 SW Fifth Avenue, Suite 900, Portland, Oregon, 97201 at

Summary of the Proposed Project Northern proposes to expand its natural gas transmission system to provide incremental firm service of 350,000-400,000 dekatherms in Northern's market area. More specifically, Northern seeks authority to construct the following facilities in various counties in Iowa and Minnesota: • Construct approximately 18.8 miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline extension in Hancock, Worth, and Winnebago counties, Iowa (Ventura/Owatonna E-Line); • Abandon and remove approximately 15.0 miles of 16-inch-diameter pipeline in Hancock, Worth, and Winnebago counties, Iowa (J-Line); • Construct approximately 10.0 miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline extension in Rice and Steele counties, Minnesota (Owatonna/Faribault D-Line); • Construct approximately 29.2 miles of 24-inch-diameter pipeline extension in Dakota and Rice counties, Minnesota (Faribault/Farmington E-Line); • Construct approximately 4.3 miles of 4-inch-diameter pipeline loop in Anoka County, Minnesota (Elk River/Ham Lake Line); • Construct approximately 7.6 miles of 24-inch-diameter pipeline loop in Dakota County, Minnesota (Rosemount Loop); • Construct approximately 1.8 miles of 6-inch-diameter pipeline loop in Sherburne County, Minnesota (St. Cloud/Becker Line); • Replace approximately 3.3 miles of 3-inch-diameter pipeline loop with 10-inch-diameter pipeline in Sherburne and Wright counties, Minnesota (Elk River/St. Michael Line); • Modifications at two existing compressor stations in Dakota and Rice counties, Minnesota; • Construction of two town border stations
(TBS)in Dakota and Waseca counties, Minnesota; • Rebuild of an existing TBS in Hennepin County, Minnesota; and • Modifications at 19 existing TBS in Anoka, Wright, Chisago, Washington, Dakota, Stearns, and Carver counties, Minnesota. With the exception of five miles of new greenfield pipeline, Northern would install the pipeline looping and extensions adjacent to existing pipelines. Location maps depicting Northern's proposed facilities are provided in Appendix 1. 1 1 The appendices referenced in this notice are not being printed in the **Federal Register** . Copies are available on the Commission's Web site (excluding maps) at the “eLibrary” link or from the Commission's Public Reference Room or call

Currently Identified Environmental Issues At this time no formal application has been filed with the FERC. For this project, the FERC staff has initiated its NEPA review prior to receiving the application. The purpose of our NEPA Pre-Filing Process is to involve interested stakeholders early in project planning and to identify and resolve issues before an application is filed with the FERC. We have already identified several issues that we think deserve attention based on a preliminary review of the proposed facilities, environmental information provided by Northern, and comments gathered from concerned citizens at Northern's open houses. This preliminary list of issues may be changed based on your comments and our analysis. • Potential impacts on the Mississippi, Vermillion, and Cannon rivers; • Potential impacts to Vermillion River watershed; • Potential impacts on wetlands; • Safety concerns of the pipeline; • Potential impacts on agricultural land and prime farmland; and • Potential impacts on historic resources. The EA Process The FERC will use the EA to consider the environmental impact that could result if it issues Northern a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. This notice formally announces our preparation of the EA and the beginning of the process referred to as “scoping.” We 2 are soliciting input from the public and interested agencies to help us focus the analysis in the EA on the potentially significant environmental issues related to the proposed action. 2 “We,” “us,” and “our” refer to the environmental staff of the Office of Energy Projects. Our independent analysis of the issues will be included in an EA that will be prepared for the project. Our evaluation will also include reasonable alternatives to the proposed project or portions of the project, and we will make recommendations on how to lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas of concern. Depending on the comments received during the scoping process, the EA may be published and mailed to affected landowners; Federal, state, and local government representatives and agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes; other interested parties; local libraries and newspapers; and the FERC's official service list for this proceeding. A 30-day comment period will be allotted for review if the EA is published. We will consider all comments on the EA before we make our recommendations to the Commission. We are currently coordinating with other jurisdictional and resource management agencies to identify their issues and concerns. These agencies include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Iowa Department of Natural Resources, and the U.S. Department of Transportation. By this notice, we are asking these and other Federal, state, and local agencies with jurisdiction and/or special expertise with respect to environmental issues to formally cooperate with us in the preparation of the EA. Agencies that would like to request cooperating status should follow the instructions for filing comments provided below. Public Participation You can make a difference by providing us with your specific comments or concerns about the proposals. Your comments should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impact. The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. To ensure that your comments are timely and properly recorded, please mail your comments so that they will be received in Washington, DC on or before March 24, 2006 and carefully follow these instructions: • Send an original and two copies of your letter to: Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First St., NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426; • Label one copy of the comments for the attention of Gas Branch 3, DG2E; and • Reference Docket No. PF06-7-000 on the original and both copies.

Prepare your submission in the same manner as you would if filing on paper and save it to a file on your hard drive. Before you can file comments you will need to create an account by clicking on “Login to File” and then “New User Account.” You will be asked to select the type of filing you are making. This filing is considered a “Comment on Filing”. When Northern submits its application for authorization to construct and operate the Northern Lights Project, the Commission will publish a Notice of Application in the **Federal Register** and will establish a deadline for interested persons to intervene in the proceeding. Because the Commission's Pre-filing Process occurs before an application to begin a proceeding is officially filed, petitions to intervene during this process are premature and will not be accepted by the Commission.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: Requesting the nomination of experts for the Science Advisory Board
(SAB)Ethylene Oxide Review Panel. DATES: Nominations should be submitted by March 22, 2006, per instructions below. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any member of the public wishing further information regarding this Request for Nominations may contact Dr. Sue Shallal, Designated Federal Officer (DFO), SAB Staff Office, by telephone/voice mail at
(202)343-9977; by fax at
(202)233-0643; or via e-mail at *shallal.suhair@epa.gov* . General information concerning the EPA Science Advisory Board can be found on the EPA SAB Web site at: *http://www.epa.gov/sab.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *Background:* EPA last published a health assessment of the potential carcinogenicity of ethylene oxide
(EtO)in 1985 (U.S. EPA, 1985). EPA's Office of Research and Development
(ORD)has now completed a review of the more recent database on the carcinogenicity of EtO, pertinent data from the 1985 assessment, and several reviews and assessments issued by other organizations. EtO is manufactured from ethylene and used primarily as a chemical intermediate in the manufacture of ethylene glycol. It is also used as a sterilizing agent for medical equipment and as a fumigating agent for spices. ORD's draft assessment focuses on lifetime cancer risk from inhalation exposure. The assessment broadly supports activities authorized in the 1990 Clean Air Act and is of particular interest to EPA's Office of Air and Radiation. However, this review also should be applicable to the needs of all program Offices and Regions in evaluating the carcinogenicity of EtO. ORD has requested that the Science Advisory Board
(SAB)review its draft assessment entitled “Evaluation of the Carcinogenicity of Ethylene Oxide”. The EPA Science Advisory Board
(SAB)was established by 42 U.S.C. 4365 to provide independent scientific and technical advice, consultation and recommendations to the EPA Administrator on the technical basis for Agency positions and regulations. The SAB review panel, conducting the review of the Agency's evaluation of the carcinogenicity of ethylene oxide, will consist of members of the chartered SAB, SAB Committee members and other experts as determined to be necessary. This panel will comply with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA)and all appropriate SAB procedural policies. Upon completion, the panel's report will be submitted to the chartered SAB for final approval for transmittal to the EPA Administrator. The SAB Ethylene Oxide Review Panel is being asked to comment on the scientific soundness of this carcinogenicity assessment. *Availability of the Review Materials:* The EPA draft document to be reviewed by the SAB Panel will be made available by the Office of Research and Development. For questions and information concerning the review materials, please contact Dr. Henry Kahn, at
(202)564-3269, or *kahn.henry@epa.gov.* *Request for Nominations:* The SAB Staff Office is requesting nominations of recognized experts with one or more of the following areas of expertise, especially with respect to the potential human carcinogenic effects of ethylene oxide: Respiratory/pulmonary physiology and exposure; epidemiology; toxicology, including genetic toxicology and mechanisms of action for carcinogenicity; metabolism; pharmacokinetics and modeling; dose-response assessment; risk assessment and statistical evaluation of epidemiological and toxicological data. *Process and Deadline for Submitting Nominations:* Any interested person or organization may nominate qualified individuals to serve on the SAB Panel(s). Nominations should be submitted in electronic format through the SAB Web site at the following URL: *http://www.epa.gov/sab* ; or directly via the *Form for Nominating Individuals to Panels of the EPA Science Advisory Board* link found at URL: *http://www.epa.gov/sab/panels/paneltopics.html* . To be considered, nominations must include all of the information required on the associated forms. Anyone who is unable to submit nominations using this form, and who has any questions concerning any aspects of the nomination process may contact the DFO, as indicated above in this notice. Nominations should be submitted in time to arrive no later than March 22, 2006. The EPA SAB Staff Office will acknowledge receipt of the nomination. From the nominees identified by respondents to this notice (termed the “Widecast”), the SAB Staff Office will develop a smaller subset (known as the “Short List”) for more detailed consideration. Criteria used by the SAB Staff in developing this Short List are given at the end of the following paragraph. The Short List will be posted for public comment on the SAB Web site at: *http://www.epa.gov/sab* . The Short List will include each nominee's name and a short biographical description of expertise and professional experiences. During this comment period, the public may provide relevant information on nominees that the SAB Staff Office should consider in evaluating candidates for the Panel. For the EPA SAB Staff Office, a balanced subcommittee or panel is characterized by inclusion of candidates who possess the necessary domains of knowledge, the relevant scientific perspectives (which, among other factors, can be influenced by work history and affiliation), and the collective breadth of experience to adequately address the charge. Public responses to the Short List candidates will be considered in the selection of the Panel, along with information provided by candidates and information independently-gathered by the SAB Staff Office on the background of each candidate. Specific criteria to be used in evaluating an individual nominee include:
(a)Scientific and/or technical expertise, knowledge, and experience (primary factors);
(b)availability and willingness to serve;
(c)absence of financial conflicts of interest;
(d)absence of an appearance of a lack of impartiality; and
(e)skills working in committees, subcommittees and advisory panels; and, for the Panel as a whole,
(f)diversity of, and balance among, scientific expertise and viewpoints. Prospective candidates will also be required to fill-out the “Confidential Financial Disclosure Form for Special Government Employees Serving on Federal Advisory Committees at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency” (EPA Form 3110-48). This confidential form allows Government officials to determine whether there is a statutory conflict between that person's public responsibilities (which includes membership on an EPA Federal advisory committee) and private interests and activities, or the appearance of a lack of impartiality, as defined by Federal regulation. The form may be viewed and downloaded from the following URL address: *http://www.epa.gov/sab/sge_course/pdf_sge/epaform3110_48.pdf* . The process by which the EPA SAB Office forms panels is described in the following document: *Overview of the Panel Formation Process at the Environmental Protection Agency Science Advisory Board* (EPA-SAB-EC-02-010), which is posted on the SAB Web site at: *http://www.epa.gov/sab/pdf/ec02010.pdf.* Dated: February 23, 2006.

The Act further provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any such request in the **Federal Register** . Thereafter, the Administrator may approve such a request. IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for use deletion must submit the withdrawal in writing to John Jamula using the instructions in Unit I.C. The Agency will consider written withdrawal requests postmarked no later than March 31, 2006. V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks The Agency has authorized the registrants to sell or distribute product under the previously approved labeling for a period of 18 months after approval of the revision, unless other restrictions have been imposed, as in special review actions.
