E7-1163 Filed 1-25-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Project No. 2696-000] Town of Stuyvesant, NY, Albany Engineering Corporation; Notice Establishing Revised Schedule for Filing License Application January 17, 2007. On August 2, 2005, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent to File an Application for a New License for the Stuyvesant Falls Hydroelectric Project. 1 The notice established January 31, 2007, as the date for filing the new license application and competing applications. On December 19, 2006, the Town of Stuyvesant and Albany Engineering Corporation, co-licensees for the project, requested an extension of time until January 31, 2009, to file an application. The licensees state that they have been unable to acquire the property rights necessary to access the project site, which they are pursuing in eminent domain proceedings. Thus, they have been unable to complete studies needed to prepare an adequate application. The licensees estimate that inspection and repairs will take between 12 and 18 months to complete after ownership of the project property is conveyed. Approximately one year is reportedly needed to conduct the studies. At least one of the studies, the Instream Flow Incremental Methodology study, requires the project to be in operating condition to be conducted. By letter filed October 26, 2006, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service supports extending the deadline. 1 Pursuant to special legislation (sections 315(b) and

(d)of Pub. L. 108-137), the project's original license, which had been surrendered, was reinstated and transferred to Stuyvesant Falls Hydro Corporation and the Town of Stuyvesant Falls, New York, on December 30, 2003. 105 FERC ¶ 62,231 (2003). On December 20, 2006, the Commission approved the transfer of the license to the Town of Stuyvesant Falls and Albany Engineering Corporation. 117 FERC ¶ 62,254 (2006). Noting that the original license had been surrendered prior to the statutory deadline for filing notices of intent to relicense the project, and would be reinstated after the statutory deadline for filing relicensing applications, the order reinstating the license stated that the Commission would issue a special relicensing schedule, which was set forth in the August 2, 2005 notice. While the basis for licensees' request for additional time to file their relicensing application appears reasonable, their requested two-year extension of the filing deadline may not ultimately be required and therefore may unduly delay the relicensing proceeding. Therefore, a one-year extension of the deadline for filing applications (to January 31, 2008) is granted. In order to keep the Commission apprised of the licensees' progress the licensees must file quarterly progress reports on steps taken to successfully complete the eminent domain proceeding, conduct necessary studies, and file a licensee application (a report is due three-months following the issuance of this notice and every three months thereafter until the licensee's application is filed).

Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed USA Storage Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues January 17, 2007. 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 USA Storage Project involving construction and operation of natural gas facilities by Dominion Transmission, Inc.

(DTI)in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, Virginia and West Virginia. 1 DTI proposes to drill 14 new storage wells and install approximately a total of 1.57 miles of associated six-inch-diameter pipeline that would connect the new wells to the existing piping network within DTI's Pennsylvania natural gas storage complexes. In addition, DTI plans to construct a new compressor station at its West Virginia storage complex and expand three of its existing compressor stations located in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia. This EA will be used by the Commission in its decision-making process to determine whether the project is in the public convenience and necessity. 1 DTI's application was filed with the Commission under section 7 of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's regulations. This notice announces the opening of the public comment period that will be used to gather environmental input from the public and interested agencies on the project. Comments are requested by February 19, 2007. With this notice, the FERC staff is asking other federal, state, local and tribal agencies with jurisdiction and/or special expertise with respect to environmental issues to cooperate with us in the preparation of the EA. These agencies may choose to participate once they have evaluated DTI's proposal relative to their responsibilities. Agencies that would like to request cooperating status should follow the instructions for filing comments described in Appendix 1. If you are a landowner receiving this notice, you may be contacted by a pipeline company representative about the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. The pipeline company 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, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation proceedings in accordance with state law. A brochure prepared by the FERC entitled “An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?” is available for viewing on the FERC Web site at *http://www.ferc.gov.* 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. Summary of the Proposed Project DTI seeks authority to construct and operate the following natural gas facilities: Potter and Clinton Counties, PA: • Drill six new storage wells and install a total of approximately 0.45 mile of new six-inch-diameter pipeline to connect the new wells to the existing storage piping network within DTI's Greenlick Storage Complex; Tioga County, PA: • Drill eight new storage wells and install a total of about 1.52 miles of new six-inch-diameter pipeline to connect the new wells to the existing storage piping network within DTI's Sabinsville Storage Complex; • Expand the existing Sabinsville Compressor Station by adding a 2,370 horsepower

(HP)natural gas-fired reciprocating unit, a 5,800 HP gas turbine and a desiccant dehydration capacity of 100 mmcfd; Gilmer County, WV: • Construct a new compressor station at the Racket-Newberne Storage Complex that would include a 1,150 HP natural gas-fired reciprocating unit and would have a glycol dehydration capacity of 50 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd); Fauquier County, VA: • Expand the existing Quantico Compressor Station by adding a 7,800 HP gas turbine; Steuben County, NY: • Expand the existing Woodhull Compressor Station by adding two additional 1,800 HP reciprocating units; and Frederick and Washington Counties, MD and Franklin County, PA: • Hydrostatically re-test three sections of DTI's existing 30-inch-diameter PL-1 pipeline which would allow the system to operate at a 1,250 pounds per square inch gauge

(psig)of Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP). The total pipeline length that would be hydrostatically re-tested is approximately 4.46 miles. The expansions of and additions to these existing natural gas facilities would allow DTI to meet its precedent agreements to provide 184,994 Dekatherms per day (Dt/d) of new firm transportation capacity on its existing PL-1 pipeline system for delivery to two existing delivery points. The new facilities would allow an additional 4.29 billion cubic feet

(bcf)of natural gas to be withdrawn from storage, which would be used to fulfill DTI's increasing requests for service. The general locations of the project facilities are shown in Appendix 2. 2 2 The appendices referenced in this notice are not being printed in the **Federal Register** . Copies of all appendices, other than Appendix 2 (map), are available on the Commission's Web site 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 Construction and expansion of the proposed pipeline and aboveground facilities would affect approximately 132.61 acres of land and includes access roads, pipe/contractor yards, and extra work areas. Following construction, about 41.65 acres would be permanently maintained. The remaining 90.96 acres land would be restored and allowed to revert to its former use.

Magalie R. Salas, Secretary. [FR Doc. E7-1134 Filed 1-25-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. CP06-429-000] Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed St. Petersburg Relay Replacement Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues January 19, 2007. 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 St. Petersburg Relay Project, involving construction and operation of facilities by Florida Gas Transmission Company (FGT). 1 1 FGT's original proposal to construct the St. Petersburg Lateral Replacement Project was filed as a prior notice application under Section 157.208(b) of the Commission's regulations. It is now being processed as an application for construction under Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act due to the filing of a protest that was not resolved. FGT proposes to replace a total of about 6.6 miles of its St. Petersburg 12-inch-diameter lateral pipeline in east-central Pinellas County, Florida. Testing of the 12-inch St. Petersburg Lateral identified stress erosion cracking anomalies reflective of the age and condition of the pipeline. Replacement of the pipeline sections and valve assemblies described below are necessary to comply with United States Department of Transportation requirements for a high consequence Class 3 area under Title 49 CFR, Pipeline Integrity Management, Subpart O (Section 192). The pipeline is located in a highly developed, urbanized area that includes residential subdivisions, shopping malls and existing county and Florida Department of Transportation

(FDOT)road rights-of-way. The sections of pipeline to be replaced are described as follows: • Relay #1—3.6 miles of pipeline, • Relay #2—0.09 mile of pipeline, • Relay #3—0.40 mile of pipeline, • Relay #4—2.1 miles of pipeline, and • Relay #5—0.5 mile of pipeline. FGT also proposes to install a 12-inch pig launcher and receiver and replace two 8-inch block valves with 10-inch block valves to allow passage for a pipeline integrity tool to be run after the segments have been replaced. The general location of the project is shown on the map attached as Appendix 1. 2 2 The appendix referenced in this notice is not being printed in the **Federal Register** . Copies of the appendix

(maps)are available from the Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, or call

(202)502-8371. Copies of the appendix will be sent to all those receiving this notice in the mail. No change in the maximum allowable operating pressure of the pipeline would occur as a result of the proposed replacements. Therefore, there would be no impact to FGT's peak day or annual gas deliveries. The proposed project would disturb up to 63.6 acres of land, 14.5 acres of which are within FGT's permanent easement and 49.1 acres of which are proposed temporary workspace and extra temporary workspace. Temporary workspace and extra temporary workspace would be required at public road and waterbody crossings, hydrostatic test locations, crossovers, tie-ins, staging/fabrication of pipeline sections, and drag sections. If you are a landowner receiving this notice, you may be contacted by a pipeline company representative about the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. The pipeline company 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, the pipeline company 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?” 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* ). 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 will be considered during the preparation of the EA. The Commission's staff will prepare an EA that will describe the potential environmental impacts that could result from construction and operation of the proposed project under the general headings: • Water resources, wetlands, and waterbodies. • Vegetation and wildlife. • Threatened and endangered species. • Cultural resources. • Geology and soils. • Land use and residences. • Air quality and noise. • Reliability and safety. Our independent analysis of the issues will be presented in the EA. 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. Depending on the comments received during the scoping process, the EA may be published and mailed to Federal, State, and local government agencies; public interest groups; Native American tribes; interested individuals; affected landowners; newspapers; libraries; and the Commission'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 submitted in any Commission Order that is issued for the project. 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 commenter, your concerns will be addressed in the EA and considered by the Commission. The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. Generally, comments are submitted regarding the potential environmental effects, reasonable alternatives and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impact. This notice and request for environmental comments is being sent to affected landowners; Federal, State and local government representatives and agencies; environmental and public interest groups; other interested parties in this proceeding; and local libraries and newspapers. We encourage government representatives to notify their constituents of this notice and to encourage their comments concerning this proposed project. To ensure that your comments are properly recorded, please mail them to our office on or before February 19, 2007. When filing comments please: • 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 2; DG2E; and Reference Docket No. CP06-429-000 on the original and both copies. Please note that the Commission strongly encourages the electronic filing (“eFiling”) of comments, interventions or protests to this proceeding. Instructions on how to “eFile” comments can be found on the Commission's Web site at *http://www.ferc.gov* under the “Documents and Filings” link. Becoming an Intervenor In addition to involvement in the EA scoping process, you may want to become an official party to the proceeding known as an “intervenor”. Intervenors play a more formal role in the process. Among other things, intervenors have the right to receive copies of case-related Commission documents and filings by other intervenors. Likewise, each intervenor must send one electronic copy (using the Commission's e-Filing system) or 14 paper copies of its filings to the Secretary of the Commission and must send a copy of its filings to all other parties on the Commission's service list for this proceeding. If you want 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). Only intervenors have the right to seek rehearing of the Commission's decision. 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. Environmental Mailing List This notice has been sent to all known individuals, organizations, and government entities interested in and/or potentially affected by the proposed project.

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. Summary of the Proposed Project Southern currently is involved in an extensive pipeline integrity program (PIP). As part of the PIP, Southern would replace certain sections of pipe which were constructed using a mechanical coupling methodology. One of these areas is the North Main Loop Line from Milepost

(MP)271.65 to MP 281.23 (9.62 miles) in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. 1 Specifically, Southern proposes to: 1 A loop is a segment of pipeline installed adjacent to an existing pipeline and which connects to the existing pipeline at both ends of the loop. The loop allows more gas to be moved through the system. • Abandon in place 2.79 miles of its 22-inch-diameter North Main Loop Line between MPs 278.48 and 281.23; • Abandon by removal 6.83 miles of its 22-inch-diameter North Main Loop Line between MPs 271.65 and 278.48; • Construct a 6.83 mile extension of its 24-inch-diameter 2nd North Main Loop Line between MPs 148.93 and 155.75 (i.e., between MPs 271.65 and 278.48 on Southern's 22-inch-diameter North Main Loop Line) within the trench of the removed pipeline; and • Modify certain facilities along its North Main Loop Line (e.g., installation of mainline gate valves and crossover connections, and disconnecting meter station and field tie-in taps) between MPs 274.92 and 281.23. The general location of Southern's proposed activities is shown on the map attached as Appendix 1. 2 2 The appendices referenced in this notice are not being printed in the **Federal Register** .

Land Requirements for Construction Southern's proposed action would require about 103.26 acres of land for the construction right-of-way for the pipeline, temporary workspaces, staging areas, and wareyards. The construction right-of-way for the project would be within the existing 60- to 150-foot wide right-of-way. New permanent easement would include approximately 0.91 acres. Following construction, the permanent right-of-way would be maintained in its current condition; temporary work spaces would be restored and allowed to revert to their former use. Construction access to Southern's project would be via existing access roads. Southern has identified 20 existing private access roads necessary for the construction of its project. Some of the access roads may need to be widened or upgraded for construction use. The EA Process We are preparing the EA to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA)which 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. By this notice, we are also asking 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 below. 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 and libraries in the project area, 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. 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 locations and 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 1. • Reference Docket No. CP07-28-000. • Mail your comments so that they will be received in Washington, DC on or before February 16, 2007. Please note that 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 an account which can be created on-line. Becoming an Intervenor In addition to involvement in the EA scoping process, you may want to become an official party to the proceeding known as an “intervenor”. Intervenors play a more formal role in the process. Among other things, intervenors have the right to receive copies of case-related Commission documents and filings by other intervenors. Likewise, each intervenor must send one electronic copy (using the Commission's e-Filing system) or 14 paper copies of its filings to the Secretary of the Commission and must send a copy of its filings to all other parties on the Commission's service list for this proceeding. If you want 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). 3 Only intervenors have the right to seek rehearing of the Commission's decision. 3 Interventions may also be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. See the previous discussion on filing comments electronically. 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.

This application has been accepted, and is ready for environmental analysis at this time. l. The existing Hyrum City's Hydropower Project was initially constructed in 1930-1931, after receiving an original license on November 27, 1929. The project has been licensed since that time with one amendment in 1977, and one renewal in 1981. The current license expires on April 30, 2008. The run-of-river, base-load plant operates on 85-cubic-foot-per-second of water diverted by a diversion dam located in Blacksmith Fork Canyon. The 3,419-foot-by-passed reach is not de-watered because the flows in the river exceeds the capacity of the plant, and during low flows, Hyrum City operates the plant at less than maximum flow to maintain a continuous flow throughout the river channel for aesthetic enjoyment in the city park that adjoins the powerhouse. The project includes the following constructed facilities:

(1)a 15-foot-high, 70-foot-long earth-fill concrete core embankment to the north, a 14-foot-high, 65-foot-long concrete spillway section, a 15-foot-high, 125-foot-long earth-fill concrete core embankment to the north which makes the total length of the dam approximately 260-foot-long;

(2)a 16-foot-high, 8-foot-wide concrete intake structure with a 20-foot-high, 8-foot-wide trash rack and fish ladder;

(3)a 60-inch-diameter concrete penstock inlet with head gate;

(4)a 3,470-foot-long, 48-inch-diameter concrete penstock going into a 130-foot-long, 42-inch-diameter steel penstock;

(5)a 37-acre-foot de-silting pond;

(6)a 26-foot-wide, 39-foot-long, 20-foot-high brick powerhouse;

(7)a 400-kilowatt Leffel horizontal shaft scroll case turbine;

(8)a 100-foot, 2.4-kV underground transmission line and;

(9)appurtenant facilities. The average annual generation of the project is approximately 3,083,000 kilowatt-hours and there are no proposed changes to the facilities or the current mode of operation at this time. m.
