(202)502-8415, by fax at

(202)273-0873, and by e-mail at *michael.miller@ferc.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The information collected under the requirements of FERC-715 “Annual Transmission Planning and Evaluation Report”, (OMB No. 1902-0171) is mandated by section 213(b) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), as amended by the Energy Policy Act of 1992. Through section 213(b) Congress requires the Commission to collect annually from transmitting utilities, certain transmission system information and make it available to potential transmission providers, customers and state regulatory authorities. This information collection also supports the Commission's responsibilities under sections 202, 207, 210-213, 304, 309 and 311 of the FPA, as amended (49 Stat. 838; 16 U.S.C. 791a-825r). The Commission's FERC-715 filing requirements are published in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 18 CFR section 141.300. Through the FERC-715, the Commission gathers basic electric transmission system information. The Commission staff use the FERC-715 information to evaluate available transmission capacity and assess transmission reliability. Electrical transmission customers and transmission dependent utilities use the information, in conjunction with other information sources, to assess transmission availability. Federal and private agencies use the information in transmission simulations to test the impact of changes to the transmission system, necessary to improve system functioning. FERC-715 filing instructions are provided on the Commission's Web site at *http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filings/elibrary.asp.* In order to assist the Commission in properly analyzing the information received from respondents for the FERC-715, several clarifications of the instructions are proposed and a copy of those clarifications accompanies this notice for comment. These clarifications are not to be considered as changes to the information filed with the FERC-715. Some or all of the information collected may be treated as Critical Energy Infrastructure Information

(CEII)(see Order 630, OMB Control No. 1902-0197). CEII is information concerning proposed or existing critical infrastructure (physical or virtual) that: 1. Relates to the production, generation, transmission or distribution of energy; 2. Could be useful to a person planning an attack on critical infrastructure; 3. Is exempt from mandatory disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act; and 4. Gives strategic information beyond the location of the critical infrastructure. CEII is not available to the public. The Commission has established procedures for gaining access to CEII that would otherwise not be available under the Freedom of Information Act

(FOIA)requests. These actions are necessary to keep highly sensitive infrastructure information out of the public domain thus decreasing the likelihood that such information could be used to plan and execute terrorist attacks. *Action:* The Commission is requesting a three-year extension of the current expiration date, with no changes to the existing collection of data and only clarifications to the instructions. *Burden Statement:* Public reporting burden for this collection is estimated as: Number of respondents annually Number of responses per respondent Average burden hours per response Total annual burden hours

(3)(1)×(2)×(3) 183 1 160 29,280 Estimated cost burden to respondents is $1,651,519. (29,280 hours/2080 hours per year times $117,321 per year average per employee). The cost per respondent is $9,025). The reporting burden includes the total time, effort, or financial resources expended to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the information including:

(1)Reviewing instructions;

(2)developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, verifying, processing, maintaining, disclosing and providing information;

(3)adjusting the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements;

(4)training personnel to respond to a collection of information;

(5)searching data sources;

(6)completing and reviewing the collection of information; and

(7)transmitting, or otherwise disclosing the information. The estimate of cost for respondents is based upon salaries for professional and clerical support, as well as direct and indirect overhead costs. Direct costs include all costs directly attributable to providing this information, such as administrative costs and the cost for information technology. Indirect or overhead costs are costs incurred by an organization in support of its mission. These costs apply to activities, which benefit the whole organization rather than any one particular function or activity. Comments are invited on:

(1)Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information will have practical utility;

(2)the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

(3)ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and

(4)ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including 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.

(202)502-8659. Magalie R. Salas, Secretary. [FR Doc. E6-14396 Filed 8-29-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. CP02-229-002] SG Resources Mississippi, L.L.C.; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Southern Pines Energy Center Expansion Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues August 21, 2006. The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment

(EA)that will discuss the environmental impacts of the Southern Pines Energy Center Expansion Project involving construction and operation of facilities by SG Resources Mississippi, L.L.C.

(SGRM)in Greene County, Mississippi and Mobile County, Alabama. These facilities would consist of about 26.1 miles of bi-directional 24-inch-diameter pipeline, expansion of working gas capacity of two previously certificated solution-mined salt caverns, and construction of an additional solution mined salt cavern and two new brine disposal wells. The EA will be used by the Commission in its decision-making process to determine whether the project is in the public convenience and necessity. If you are a landowner receiving this notice, you may be contacted by an SGRM representative about the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. SGRM would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if the project is approved by the Commission, that approval conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement negotiations fail to produce an agreement, SGRM could initiate condemnation proceedings in accordance with state law. A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled “An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?” was attached to the project notice that SGRM provided to landowners. This fact sheet addresses a number of typically asked questions, including the use of eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings. It is available for viewing on the FERC Internet Web site ( *http://www.ferc.gov* ). Summary of the Proposed Project SGRM wants to provide up to 24 billion cubic feet

(Bcf)of working gas storage capacity and receive/deliver up to 1.0 Bcf/day from/to Florida Gas Transmission Company

(FGT)and 0.6 Bcf/day from/to Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation (Transco). SGRM seeks authority to construct and operate the following facilities: • Expand two certificated solution mined storage caverns to a total working gas volume of 12.0 Bcf; • A solution-mined storage cavern that would have a working gas volume of 8.0 Bcf; • Two brine disposal wells; • FGT/Transco Lateral consisting of 26.1 miles of dual 24-inch-diameter pipelines; • Two mainline valves; • A meter station; and • A 115 Kilovolt substation. The location of the project facilities is shown in Appendix 1. 1 1 The appendices referenced in this notice are not being printed in the **Federal Register** . Copies of all appendices, other than Appendix 1 (maps), are available on the Commission's website at the “eLibrary” link or from the Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, or call

(202)502-8371. For instructions on connecting to eLibrary refer to the last page of this notice. Copies of the appendices were sent to all those receiving this notice in the mail. Land Requirements for Construction Construction of the proposed facilities would require about 423.0 acres of land. Following construction, about 162.7 acres would be maintained as new aboveground facility sites and permanent rights-of-way. The remaining 260.3 acres of land would be restored and allowed to revert to its former use. The EA Process The National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA)requires the Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us to discover and address concerns the public may have about proposals. This process is referred to as “scoping”. The main goal of the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important environmental issues. By this Notice of Intent, the Commission staff requests public comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EA. All comments received are considered during the preparation of the EA. State and local government representatives are encouraged to notify their constituents of this proposed action and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern. In the EA we 2 will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of the construction and operation of the proposed project under these general headings: 2 “We” “us”, and “our” refer to the environmental staff of the Office of Energy Projects (OEP). • Geology and soils. • Land use. • Water resources, fisheries, and wetlands. • Cultural resources. • Vegetation and wildlife. • Air quality and noise. • Endangered and threatened species. • Public safety. We will also evaluate possible alternatives to the proposed project or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas. Our independent analysis of the issues will be in the EA. Depending on the comments received during the scoping process, the EA may be published and mailed to federal, state, and local agencies, public interest groups, interested individuals, affected landowners, newspapers, libraries, and the Commission(s official service list for this proceeding. A 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. To ensure your comments are considered, please carefully follow the instructions in the public participation section below. Public Participation You can make a difference by providing us with your specific comments or concerns about the project. By becoming a commentor, your concerns will be addressed in the EA and considered by the Commission. You should focus on the potential environmental effects of the proposal, alternatives to the proposal (including alternative routes), and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impact. The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. 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 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. • Reference Docket No. CP02-229-002. • Mail your comments so that they will be received in Washington, DC on or before September 25, 2006. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filing of any comments or interventions or protests to this proceeding. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site at *http://www.ferc.gov* under the “e-Filing” link and the link to the User's Guide. Before you can file comments you will need to create a free account which can be created on-line. We may mail the EA for comment. If you are interested in receiving it, please return the Information Request (Appendix 3). If you do not return the Information Request, you will be taken off the mailing list. Becoming an Intervenor In addition to involvement in the EA scoping process, you may want to become an official party to the proceeding, or “intervenor”. To become an intervenor you must file a motion to intervene according to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214). Intervenors have the right to seek rehearing of the Commission's decision. Motions to Intervene should be electronically submitted using the Commission's eFiling system at *http://www.ferc.gov* . Persons without Internet access should send an original and 14 copies of their motion to the Secretary of the Commission at the address indicated previously. Persons filing Motions to Intervene on or before the comment deadline indicated above must send a copy of the motion to the Applicant. All filings, including late interventions, submitted after the comment deadline must be served on the Applicant and all other intervenors identified on the Commission's service list for this proceeding. Persons on the service list with email addresses may be served electronically; others must be served a hard copy of the filing. Affected landowners and parties with environmental concerns may be granted intervenor status upon showing good cause by stating that they have a clear and direct interest in this proceeding which would not be adequately represented by any other parties. You do not need intervenor status to have your environmental comments considered.

Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. 2. * Tips for preparing your comments* . When submitting comments, remember to: i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying information (subject heading, **Federal Register** date and page number). ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of Federal Regulations

(CFR)part or section number. iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and substitute language for your requested changes. iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information and/or data that you used. v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be reproduced. vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and suggest alternatives. vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of profanity or personal threats. viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. II. Background A. What Action is the Agency Taking? Under section 4 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is reevaluating existing pesticides to ensure that they meet current scientific and regulatory standards. EPA completed an IRED for the N-methyl carbamate pesticide carbofuran on August 3, 2006, and is now issuing this document for public comment. Carbofuran works as a cholinesterase inhibitor and is used to treat pests of food and non-food crops as either a flowable or granular formulation. It is registered for use on a variety of fruit and vegetable crops, as well as ornamentals and agricultural fallow land. The carbofuran IRED presents the Agency's conclusions on the risks posed by exposure to carbofuran alone; however, section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) directs the Agency also to consider available information on the cumulative risk from substances sharing a common mechanism of toxicity. Because the N-methyl carbamate pesticides share a common mechanism of toxicity, inhibition of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, the Agency will evaluate the cumulative risk posed by this group before making final tolerance reassessment decisions for carbofuran.. During the pendency of the N-methyl carbamate cumulative assessment, the Agency is proceeding with risk assessments and interim risk management for individual N-methyl carbamate pesticides. EPA has determined that products containing carbofuran will not be eligible for reregistration. EPA is applying the principles of public participation to all pesticides undergoing reregistration and tolerance reassessment. The Agency's Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public Participation Process, published in the **Federal Register** on May 14, 2004 (69 FR 26819)(FRL-7357-9), explains that in conducting these programs, EPA is tailoring its public participation process to be commensurate with the level of risk, extent of use, complexity of issues, and degree of public concern associated with each pesticide. Due to its uses, risks, and other factors, carbofuran was reviewed through the full 6 phase public participation process. Through this process, EPA worked extensively with stakeholders and the public to reach the regulatory decisions for carbofuran. The reregistration program is being conducted under Congressionally mandated time frames, and EPA recognizes the need both to make timely reregistration decisions and to involve the public. The Agency is issuing the carbofuran IRED for public comment. This comment period is intended to provide an additional opportunity for public input and a mechanism for initiating any necessary amendments to the IRED. All comments should be submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES , and must be received by EPA on or before the closing date. These comments will become part of the Agency Docket for carbofuran. Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked “late.” EPA is not required to consider these late comments. The Agency will carefully consider all comments received by the closing date and will provide a Response to Comments Memorandum in the Docket and regulations.gov. If any comment significantly affects the document, EPA also will publish an amendment to the IRED in the **Federal Register** . In the absence of substantive comments requiring changes, the risk management decisions reflected in the carbofuran IRED will be implemented as presented. B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action? Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA as amended directs that, after submission of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient,“ the Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active ingredient are eligible for reregistration,” before calling in product specific data on individual end-use products and either reregistering products or taking other “appropriate regulatory action.” Section 408(q) of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a(q), requires EPA to review tolerances and exemptions for pesticide residues in effect as of August 2, 1996, to determine whether the tolerance or exemption meets the requirements of section 408(b)(2) or (c)(2) of FFDCA. This review is to be completed by August 3, 2006. List of Subjects Environmental protection, Pesticides and pests. Dated: August 14, 2006.

ACTION: Notice of Determination of Adequacy of Michigan's Research, Development, and Demonstration (RD&D) Permit Provisions for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills. SUMMARY: On March 22, 2004, the U.S. EPA issued final regulations allowing research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) permits to be issued to certain municipal solid waste landfills by approved states (40 CFR 258.4). On May 26, 2006 Michigan submitted an application to the U.S. EPA Region 5 seeking Federal approval of its RD&D requirements per the procedures in 40 CFR 239.12. Michigan's RD&D requirements allow the State to issue research, development and demonstration (RD&D) permits to owners and operators of MSWLF units in accordance with state law. Subject to public review and comment, this notice approves Michigan's RD&D permit requirements. DATES: This determination of RD&D program adequacy for Michigan will become effective October 30, 2006 unless adverse comments are received on or before October 30, 2006. If adverse comments are received, the U.S. EPA will review those comments and publish another FR document responding to those comments and either affirming or revising the U.S. EPA's initial decision.

(312)886-4314, *mendoza.ramon@epa.gov* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Background On March 22, 2004, EPA issued a final rule amending the municipal solid waste landfill criteria in 40 CFR part 258 to allow for research, development and demonstration (RD&D) permits (69 FR 13242). This rule allows for variances from specified criteria for a limited period of time, to be implemented through state-issued RD&D permits. RD&D permits are available only in states with approved MSWLF permit programs that have been modified to incorporate RD&D permit authority. While States are not required to seek approval for this new provision, those States that are interested in providing RD&D permits to owners and operators of MSWLFs must seek approval from EPA before issuing such permits. Approval procedures for new provisions of 40 CFR Part 258 are outlined in 40 CFR 239.12. Michigan's MSWLF permit program was approved on April 8, 1997 (62 FR 16804). On May 26, 2006, Michigan applied for approval of its RD&D permit provisions. Michigan submitted its amended laws under Part 115 of Act 451 Sections 324.11511b and 324.11514 for review. B. Decision After a thorough review, U.S. EPA Region 5 determined that Michigan's RD&D permit provisions as defined under Part 115 of Act 451 Sections 324.11511b and 324.11514 are adequate to ensure compliance with the Federal criteria as defined at 40 CFR 258.4. Authority: This action is issued under the authority of section 2002, 4005 and 4010(c) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6912, 6945 and 6949(a). Dated: August 15, 2006.
