(4)how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

CP06-470-000; CP06-471-000; CP06-472-000; CP06-473-000; CP06-474-000] Southern Lng Inc.; Elba Express Company, LLC; Southern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Availability of the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Elba III Project August 3, 2007. The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE); U.S. Coast Guard (Coast Guard); and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service has prepared this final Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS)for the Elba III Project. The project is proposed by Southern Natural Gas Company (Southern) and its subsidiaries Southern LNG Inc. (Southern LNG) and Elba Express Company, L.L.C. (EEC). The proposed facilities consist of an expansion of Southern LNG's existing onshore Elba Island Liquefied Natural Gas
(LNG)Import Terminal on the Savannah River in Georgia and construction and operation of the Elba Express Pipeline—a natural gas pipeline with compression and other appurtenant facilities in various counties in Georgia and South Carolina. The final EIS was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). Its purpose is to inform the Commission, the public, and other permitting agencies about the potential adverse and beneficial environmental impacts associated with the proposed project. It also recommends practical, reasonable, and appropriate mitigation measures which would avoid or reduce significant adverse impacts to the maximum extent practicable and, where feasible, to less than significant levels. In addition to the proposed action, the final EIS evaluates alternatives, including alternative energy sources, system alternatives, alternative sites for the LNG import terminal, alternative designs, pipeline alternatives, and alternatives to the Coast Guard Letter of Recommendation
(LOR)action. The final EIS concludes that the Elba III Project is unlikely to result in significant adverse environmental impact on particular resources within the Zones of Concern because it is unlikely that a substantial cargo release would occur. In addition, if the project is constructed and operated in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, Southern LNG and EEC's proposed mitigation, and the additional mitigation recommendations (see section 5), it would be an environmentally acceptable action. Proposed Facilities—Elba Terminal Expansion Southern LNG plans to construct and operate an expansion of its existing LNG import terminal on Elba Island near Savannah, in Chatham County, Georgia. The expansion would;
(a)More than double the terminal's LNG storage capacity by adding 405,000 cubic meters (m 3 ) of new storage;
(b)substantially increase the facility's existing vaporization capacity;
(c)upgrade the terminal's send-out meter station capacity by an additional 900 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd); and
(d)modify the terminal's LNG tanker berthing and unloading facilities to accommodate larger tankers and provide simultaneous unloading of two LNG tankers. Terminal expansion would entail an increase in the frequency (and potentially the size) of LNG vessels using the Savannah River transit route. All of the planned facilities would be located entirely within the existing 190-acre facility site on Elba Island. The LNG terminal expansion would be constructed in two phases, A and B. Phase A would be completed as early as January 2010 and would include the following facilities: a. One new 200,000 m 3 (1.25 million barrels) LNG storage tank, one associated boil-off gas condenser, and three boil-off gas compressors; b. Three submerged combustion vaporizers, each with a peak capacity of 180 MMcfd (providing a total peak send-out capacity of 1,755 MMcfd for the full facility at the completion of phase A); and c. Modifications to the unloading docks to accommodate new, larger LNG tankers and to allow simultaneous unloading of two LNG tankers. The modifications to the dual berthing slip include: • Adding four mooring dolphins (two for each berth); • Dredging approximately 72,000 cubic yards of material from the slope at the back of the existing slip (and disposing of dredged material into the existing spoil disposal area adjacent to the terminal); and • Installing a sheet pile bulkhead at the back of the slip. These modifications would allow the slip to accommodate larger LNG tankers with an approximate overall length of 345 meters
(m)(compared to the current 288 m), breadth of 55 m (currently 49 m), design laden draft of 12.0 m (currently 11.7 m), and displacement of 177,000 metric tons (currently 128,000 metric tons). Slip modifications are designed to accommodate LNG vessels capable of transporting up to 266,000 m 3 of LNG, although carriers currently in service and delivering to the Elba terminal typically transport between 125,000 and 145,000 m 3 . Phase B would be completed no later than December 2012 and would include the following facilities: a. One new 200,000 m 3 LNG storage tank; and b. Three submerged combustion vaporizers (two for service and one spare), each with a peak send-out capacity of 360 MMcfd (providing a total peak send-out capacity of 2,115 MMcfd for the full facility at the completion of phase B). Each of the two phases would include all necessary ancillary equipment including related pumps, piping, controls and appurtenances, and associated systems (electrical, mechanical, civil, instrumentation, hazard detection, and fire protection) and buildings necessary to accommodate the associated tanks and vaporizer units. Southern LNG estimates that following the expansion, the terminal would receive LNG shipments about every 5 to 10 days, depending on natural gas demand and LNG carrier size. Elba Express Pipeline EEC plans to construct and operate about 188 miles of new natural gas pipeline and appurtenant facilities in Georgia and South Carolina. The pipeline would be constructed in two phases, extending between an interconnection with Southern near Port Wentworth, Chatham County, Georgia on the southern end and an interconnection with Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation (Transco) in Anderson County, South Carolina on the northern end. The first phase is proposed to be placed in service no later than July 2011 with a design capacity of 945 MMcfd, and would consist of: a. The “Southern Segment,” which includes about 104.8 miles of 42-inch-diameter pipeline extending from Port Wentworth to the existing Southern Wrens Compressor Station (Wrens) in Jefferson County, Georgia (to be collocated in a corridor with existing Southern pipelines); and b. The “Northern Segment,” which includes about 10 miles of 42-inch-diameter pipeline and 72.3 miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline extending from Wrens to interconnections with Transco in Hart County, Georgia, and Anderson County, South Carolina. The second phase would involve construction and operation of a new compressor station of about 10,000 horsepower near Millen, Jenkins County, Georgia. The compressor station would increase the pipeline design capacity by 230 MMcfd to a total of 1,175 MMcfd, and is proposed to be placed in service no later than January 2013. The Coast Guard has assessed potential risks to navigation safety and port security associated with the proposed project. The Coast Guard's safety and security assessment is documented in the Captain of the Port's Waterway Suitability Report (WSR). The final EIS includes an analysis of the environmental impacts related to the Coast Guard's LOR regarding the suitability of the Savannah River for more frequent and larger LNG vessel operations. The Coast Guard Captain of the Port will issue an LOR to Southern LNG and the appropriate federal, state and local agencies, in accordance with 33 CFR 127.009. The LOR, which will be based on the Coast Guard's WSR, is an official determination regarding the suitability or unsuitability of the waterway to support the proposed terminal expansion and associated LNG marine traffic. The Coast Guard intends to adopt all or portions of this EIS to serve as the NEPA analysis for the LOR. The LOR will not be issued until after the NEPA process has been completed.

The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared this Final Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS)for the natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP (Gulf South) under the above-referenced docket. Gulf South's Southeast Expansion Project (Project) would be located in various counties and parishes in eastern Louisiana, Mississippi, and western Alabama. The Final EIS was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. The FERC staff concludes that the proposed Project, with the appropriate mitigation measures as recommended, would have limited adverse environmental impact. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(COE)are federal cooperating agencies for the development of this EIS. A federal cooperating agency has jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to any environmental impact involved with the proposal and is involved in the NEPA analysis. Gulf South indicates that the general purpose of the proposed Project is to provide producers in eastern Texas and northern Louisiana an eastern market outlet for production from CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission Company in the Perryville, Louisiana, area. The Final EIS addresses the potential environmental impacts resulting from the construction and operation of the following facilities: • Approximately 111 miles of 42-inch-diameter natural gas transmission pipeline extending easterly from Simpson County, Mississippi, to Choctaw County, Alabama; • Three new compressor stations, the Delhi, Harrisville, and Destin Compressor Stations, located in Richland County, Louisiana; Simpson County, Mississippi; and Choctaw County, Alabama, respectively; and • Other ancillary facilities including five meter and regulator (M/R) facilities, eight mainline valves, one side valve, and two pig launcher and/or receiver facilities. Dependent upon Commission approval, Gulf South proposes to complete construction and begin operating the proposed Project in January 2008. The Final EIS has been placed in the public files of the FERC and is available for public inspection at:Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A,Washington, DC 20426,
(202)502-8371. A limited number of copies of the Final EIS are available from the Public Reference Room identified above. In addition, CD copies of the Final EIS have been mailed to affected landowners; various federal, state, and local government agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes; local libraries and newspapers; intervenors; and other individuals that expressed an interest in the proposed Project. Hard-copies of the Final EIS have also been mailed to those who requested that format during the scoping and comment periods for the proposed Project. In accordance with the Council on Environmental Quality's
(CEQ)regulations implementing NEPA, no agency decision on a proposed action may be made until 30 days after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA)publishes a notice of availability of a Final EIS. However, the CEQ regulations provide an exception to this rule when an agency decision is subject to a formal internal process that allows other agencies or the public to make their views known. In such cases, the agency decision may be made at the same time the notice of the Final EIS is published, allowing both periods to run concurrently. Should the FERC issue Gulf South authorizations for the proposed Project, it would be subject to a 30-day rehearing period. Therefore, the Commission could issue its decision concurrently with the EPA's notice of availability. Additional information about the proposed Project is available from the Commission's Office of External Affairs, at 1-866-208-FERC or on the FERC Internet Web site ( *http://www.ferc.gov* ).

A copy of any motion to intervene must also be served upon each representative of the Applicant specified in the particular application. k. *Description of Request:* The license request approval to temporarily modify the operation of the project by lowering the water level in the project forebay to allow repair of the western forebay wall. This maintenance work will consist of refacing the existing wall through the placement of forms and pouring concrete. In order to expose the area to be repaired such that the majority of the work will occur above the waterline, MPI proposes to temporarily lower the water lever of the forebay and headpond by approximately 2.5 feet from normal pond level of 248.15, at the top of the inflatable flashboards. The licensee proposes to gradually lower the forebay from its normal full pool elevation and to maintain the reduced water level via operation of the powerhouse turbines and deflating the inflatable flashboards and waste gate. The required minimum downstream flow (1,540 cfs or inflow, whichever is less) in the Anson tailrace will be maintained during this drawdown period via the turbines and flashboards/waste gate as well. The licensee anticipates a need to maintain this lowered elevation for intermittent periods of time for up to two months beginning on or about August 6, 2007 while the work is being accomplished. If there is sufficient inflow to the project, the licensee proposed to raise the pond level to the normal operating elevation on weekends and other periods when the Contractor is not working. Once the repair work, along the wall progresses above the lower elevation the pond level will be returned to the normal operating level. The licensee proposes to maintain minimum downstream flows while refilling the project forebay by gradually filling the pond through maintaining a higher inflow than outflow, until the pond level is returned to normal. l. *Locations of the Application:* Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and are available for public inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public Reference Room, located at 888 First St., NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426.

E7-15645 Filed 8-9-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Western Area Power Administration Granby Pumping Plant-Windy Gap Transmission Line Rebuild Project, Grand County, CO AGENCY: Western Area Power Administration, DOE. ACTION: Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS)and Conduct Scoping; Notice of Floodplain and Wetlands Involvement. SUMMARY: The Western Area Power Administration (Western), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), intends to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS)for rebuilding the Granby Pumping Plant-Windy Gap transmission line in Grand County, Colorado. The U.S. Forest Service
(USFS)will participate in the preparation of the EIS, which will address the proposed removal of about 12 miles of 69-kilovolt
(kV)transmission line, the construction and operation of about 12 miles of new 138-kV double-circuit transmission line (operated at 69/138-kV), and adding a second power transformer. Input for the scope of the EIS may be provided in writing or at an open-house scoping meeting in the project area. DATES: An open-house public scoping meeting will be held Thursday, August 30, 2007, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. in Granby, Colorado. The public scoping period starts with the publication of this notice in the **Federal Register** and closes at midnight on September 17, 2007.

(800)472-2756. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Western is a power marketing agency of DOE that markets Federal electric power to statutorily defined customers, including project use, municipalities, irrigation districts, and Native American tribes. Western initially determined that an Environmental Assessment
(EA)would be prepared for the proposed Granby Pumping Plant-Windy Gap Transmission Line Rebuild Project on February 25, 2005. Western held open-house scoping meetings on July 28, 2005, and November 15, 2006. The public expressed numerous concerns about the impacts of the project. Based on a review of the public's concerns, Western subsequently determined that an EIS would be prepared. The EIS will address the environmental impacts of the proposal to remove about 12 miles of existing 69-kV transmission line and the construction and operation of about 12 miles of new 138-kV double-circuit transmission line (which would be operated at 69/138-kV), and adding a second power transformer. Alternatives, including the no action alternative, will also be addressed in the EIS. Western's EIS process will comply with NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321-4347, as amended), Council on Environmental Quality regulations for implementing NEPA (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] parts 1500-1508) and DOE NEPA implementing procedures (10 CFR part 1021). Because the proposed project may involve action in floodplains, the EIS will include a floodplain assessment and floodplain statement of findings following DOE regulations for compliance with floodplain and wetlands environmental review requirements (10 CFR part 1022). Description Western's Rocky Mountain Region proposes to rebuild and upgrade the Granby Pumping Plant-Windy Gap 69-kV transmission line, between the Windy Gap Substation and the Granby Pumping Plant, a distance of approximately 11.7 miles. The transmission line, which was constructed on wood-pole H-frame structures, is located in Grand County, Colorado, near the towns of Granby and Grand Lake. Other participants in the project include Tri-State Generation and Transmission, Inc. (Tri-State) and the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District (NCWCD). Western's Granby Pumping Plant-Windy Gap 69-kV transmission line has been in operation approximately 65 years. It supplies electrical power to the Colorado-Big Thompson Project (C-BT) facilities and electrical substations operated by Mountain Parks Electric, Inc. (MPEI), a Tri-State member operating company. The area transmission system has also been served by the Bureau of Reclamation's (Reclamation) Adams Tunnel 69-kV cable for the past 50 years, and the cable is at the end of its planned service life. The Adams Tunnel 69-kV cable provides Tri-State with a second power source for MPEI loads. In 1992, Western and Reclamation studied costs, engineering requirements and electrical system constraints for replacing the Adams Tunnel cable in anticipation of its eventual failure. In 1994, Western and Reclamation decided not to replace the cable if it fails. For electrical service reliability, Tri-State must maintain a second source of power for MPEI loads. The result of systems studies by both Western and Tri-State demonstrated electrical system reliability improvements when a new 138-kV transmission line was added between the Windy Gap and Granby substations. The NCWCD expressed interest in extending the 138-kV transmission line directly to C-BT Project facilities at Granby Pumping Plant to allow better voltage support for motor starting at Granby Pumping Plant. The proposed project includes the following actions. • Remove 10.0 miles of 69-kV circuit: Windy Gap Substation-Stillwater Tap. • Remove 1.7 miles of 69-kV circuit: Stillwater Tap to Granby-Granby Pumping Plant Substation. • Remove three 69-kV line switches at Granby Tap. • Construct 10.0 miles of 138-kV double-circuit transmission line with overhead fiber optic ground wire (operated at 69/138-kV): Windy Gap Substation-Stillwater Tap. • Construct 1.7 miles of 138-kV double-circuit transmission line with overhead fiber optic ground wire (operated at 69/138-kV): Stillwater Tap-Granby Pumping Plant Substation. • Install 69-kV three-way line switches at new Willow Creek Tap (replaces Granby Tap). • Install 69-kV three-way line switches at Stillwater Tap. • Construct a new 138/69-kV Granby Pumping Plant Substation, consisting of two circuit breakers with 138-kV main and transfer busses and a 138/69-kV power transformer. • Install a new 69-kV circuit breaker at the existing 69/6.9-kV Granby Pumping Plant Substation. • Install a new 138-kV circuit breaker bay at the Windy Gap Substation. The right-of-way for the existing transmission line is generally 30-feet wide, which is inadequate for new transmission line construction and maintenance. Some segments of the proposed rebuilt and upgraded transmission line would be constructed on new rights-of-way on alternative alignments. Remaining segments of the transmission line would be constructed on existing rights-of-way that will be widened to accommodate construction, operation, and maintenance. The proposed substation site for the new 138/69-kV Granby Pumping Plant Substation would be approximately 200 feet by 150 feet in area, and located entirely on Reclamation property. No Action Alternative Under the No Action alternative, none of the proposed facilities would be constructed, and the existing 69-kV transmission line would be left in place. Different transmission projects could be proposed by other entities to strengthen the electrical system in the project area. Agency Responsibilities Western has determined that an EIS is required under DOE NEPA implementing procedures, 10 CFR 1021, in light of the public's concerns about potential impacts of the project. Western will be the lead Federal agency for preparing the EIS, as defined in 40 CFR 1501.5. In addition, the USFS has been designated a cooperating agency. Western invites interested agencies, Tribes, organizations, and members of the public to submit comments or suggestions to assist in identifying environmental issues and in determining the appropriate scope of the EIS. Western will invite other Federal, State, local, and tribal agencies with jurisdiction by law or special expertise, with respect to environmental issues, to be cooperating agencies on the EIS, as defined in 40 CFR 1501.6. Such agencies also may make a request to Western to be a cooperating agency. Designated cooperating agencies have certain responsibilities to support the NEPA process, as specified in 40 CFR 1501.6(b). Environmental Issues The EIS will address impacts from the proposed project and a range of reasonable alternatives that achieve that same purpose and need. This notice is to inform agencies and the public of the proposed project and solicit comments and suggestions for consideration in preparing the EIS. To help the public frame its comments, this notice contains a list of potential environmental issues Western has tentatively identified for analysis. These issues include: 1. Impacts on protected, threatened, endangered, or sensitive species of animals or plants or their critical habitats; 2. Impacts on other biological resources; 3. Impacts on land use, recreation, and transportation; 4. Impacts on floodplains and wetlands; 5. Impacts on cultural or historic resources and tribal values; 6. Impacts on human health and safety; 7. Impacts on air, soil, and water resources (including air quality, surface water impacts, and groundwater impacts); 8. Visual impacts; and 9. Socioeconomic impacts and disproportionately high and adverse impacts to minority and low-income populations. This list is not intended to be all-inclusive or to imply any predetermination of impacts. Western invites interested parties to suggest specific issues within these general categories, or other issues not included above, to be considered in the EIS. Public Participation Opportunities for public participation are planned for the entire EIS process. Western anticipates the EIS process will take about 12 months and will include an open-house public scoping meeting; consultation and involvement with appropriate Federal, State, local, and tribal agencies; public review and hearing on the published Draft EIS; a published Final EIS; and publication of a Record of Decision. Western will mail newsletters to the mailing list developed for the proposed project to communicate project status and developments. Anyone may request to be placed on the mailing list. The scoping period will provide opportunity for interested members of the public, representatives of groups, and Federal, State, local, and tribal agencies to give input on the scope of alternatives and issues that will be addressed in the EIS. As part of the scoping period, Western will hold a public open-house scoping meeting near the project area. Interested individuals and groups are invited to attend anytime between 4 and 7 p.m., according to the date and location noted above. The open-house scoping meeting will be informal, with Western representatives available for one-on-one discussions with attendees. Attendees will have the opportunity to view maps of the proposed transmission line route, learn about the NEPA process and the proposed schedule, suggest changes and improvements to the proposed project, and obtain additional information. Written comments regarding environmental issues, alternatives, and other scoping issues may be turned in at the scoping meetings or may be provided to Western by fax, e-mail, U.S. Postal Service, or other carrier. Although comments on the proposed project may be submitted at any time during the EIS process, to be assured consideration in helping define the scope of the EIS, all comments or suggestions regarding the appropriate scope must be received by the end of the scoping period. Comments received by Western at or as a result of the July 28, 2005, and November 15, 2006, open houses will be used to help define the scope of the EIS. Dated: July 30, 2007. Timothy J.

For further information about the electronic docket, go to *http://www.regulations.gov.* *Title:* NSPS for Stationary Gas Turbines (Renewal). *ICR Numbers:* EPA ICR Number 1071.09, OMB Control Number 2060-0028. *ICR Status:* This ICR is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2007. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the **Federal Register** when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by publication in the **Federal Register** or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. *Abstract:* The New Source Performance Standard
(NSPS)for Stationary Gas Turbines (40 CFR part 60, subpart GG) were proposed on October 3, 1977, and promulgated on September 10, 1979. Owners and operators of stationary gas turbines must submit a one-time-only notification of construction/reconstruction, modification, and startup date, initial performance test date, physical or operational changes, and demonstration of a continuous monitoring system. They also must provide a report on initial performance test result, monitoring results and any excess emissions. Records must be maintained of startups, shutdowns, malfunctions; periods when the continuous monitoring system is inoperative; sulfur and nitrogen content of the fuel; fuel to water ration; rate of fuel consumption; and ambient conditions. Semiannual reports are also required. Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least two years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA regional office. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart GG, as authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required information consists of emissions data and other information that have been determined to be private. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable. *Burden Statement:* The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 56 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. *Respondents/Affected Entities:* Stationary gas turbines. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 535. *Frequency of Response:* Initially, semiannually, and occasionally. *Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:* 59,519. *Estimated Total Costs:* $3,837,190 which includes $0 annualized Capital Startup costs, $0 annualized Operations & Maintenance costs (O&M) and $3,837,190 annualized Labor Costs. *Changes in the Estimates:* There is no change in the labor hours or cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. Secondly, the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. Dated: August 3, 2007.
