DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP10–176–000] 

Millennium Pipeline Company, LLC; 

Notice of Request Under Blanket 

Authorization 

April 28, 2010. 

Take notice that on April 23, 2010, 

Millenium Pipeline Company, LLC 

(Millennium), One Blue Hill Plaza, 

Seventh Floor, PO Box 1565, Pearl 

River, New York 10965 filed in Docket 

No. CP10–176–000, a prior notice 

request pursuant to sections 157.205 

and 157.208 of the Commission’s 

regulations under the Natural Gas Act 

(NGA). Millennium seeks authorization 

to increase the Commission-approved 

maximum allowable operating pressure 

(MAOP) on its Hickory Grove Lateral 

Line from 1072 pounds per square inch 

gage (psig) to 1200 psig. The Hickory 

Grove Lateral is located in Chemung 

County, New York and extends from 

Millennium’s mainline facilities at a tiein at Chambers Road near Horseheads, 

New York to an interconnection with 

the facilities of Southern Tier 

Transmission Company (STT) near 

Hickory Grove Road, in Horseheads, 

New York. Millennium proposes to 

perform these activities under its 

blanket certificate issued in Docket No. 

CP98–155–000 [97 FERC ¶ 61,292, at 

62,327 (2001)], all as more fully set forth 

in the application which is on file with 

the Commission and open to public 

inspection. 

Specifically, the facility at issue is 

approximately 2.6 mile, 12-inch lateral 

pipeline segment of Millenniums Line 

A–5 in Chemung County, New York, 

extending from Millennium’s 30-inch 

mainline to an interconnect with STT at 

Hickory Grove in Horseheads, New 

York. The Hickory Grove Lateral was 

constructed in 1993 by Columbia Gas 

Transmission, LLC and the pipeline was 

originally designed, tested and qualified 

for an MAOP of 1236 psig in a Class 

Three Location under applicable 

Department of Transportation (DOT) 

regulations. The facilities were 

transferred to Millennium by certificate 

issued to Millennium in Docket No. 

CP98–150, et al; however, in 

Millenniums application the MAOP of 

the pipeline is listed at 1072 psig. The 

proposed increase to the Commissionapproved MAOP of the Hickory Grove 

Lateral is being made to correct the 

apparent inconsistency between the 

Commission-approved MAOP and the 

MAOP at which Millennium intends to 

operate the segment. Recently, Anschulz 

Exploration Corporation (AEC) 

requested to connect certain gathering 

facilities to the Hickory Grove Lateral to 

allow a new supply of gas to flow 

through the Hickory Grove Lateral to 

Millennium’s mainline system, which 

operates a 1200 psig. The increase in 

Commission-approved MAOP is 

required to receive local production gas, 

to be produced by AEC; and, increasing 

the Commission-approved MAOP 

corrects an apparent mistake in 

Millenniums original certificate 

application.

Any questions regarding this 

application may be directed to Gary A. 

Kruse, Vice President—General Counsel

LLP, 1299 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW.,

Any person or the Commission’s Staff 

may, within 60 days after the issuance 

of the instant notice by the Commission, 

file pursuant to Rule 214 of the 

Commission’s Procedural Rules (18 CFR 

385.214) a motion to intervene or notice 

of intervention and, pursuant to section 

157.205 of the Commission’s 

Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 

157.205) a protest to the request. If no 

protest is filed within the time allowed 

therefore, the proposed activity shall be 

deemed to be authorized effective the 

day after the time allowed for protest. If 

a protest is filed and not withdrawn 

within 30 days after the time allowed 

for filing a protest, the instant request 

shall be treated as an application for 

authorization pursuant to section 7 of 

the NGA. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests, 

and interventions via the internet in lieu 

of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii)

Adequacy Status of the Indianapolis, 

Indiana Submitted Annual Fine 

Particulate Matter Attainment 

Demonstration for Transportation 

Conformity Purposes 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of adequacy. 

SUMMARY: In this notice, EPA is 

notifying the public that we have found 

that the motor vehicle emissions 

budgets (MVEBs) for fine particulate 

matter (PM2.5) and oxides of nitrogen 

(NOx) as a precursor to PM2.5 in the 

Indianapolis, Indiana area are adequate 

for use in transportation conformity 

determinations. Indiana submitted the 

Indianapolis area budgets with the final 

PM2.5 attainment demonstration 

submittal on June 5, 2008. As a result 

of our finding, the Indianapolis, Indiana 

area must use the MVEBs from the 

submitted PM2.5 attainment 

demonstration plan for future 

transportation conformity 

determinations. 

DATES: This finding is effective May 21, 

2010.

Background 

Today’s notice is simply an 

announcement of a finding that we have 

already made. On April 12, 2010, EPA 

Region 5 sent a letter to the Indiana 

Department of Environmental 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

24944 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 87 / Thursday, May 6, 2010 / Notices 

Management stating that the 2002 and 

2009 MVEBs for the Indianapolis, 

Indiana area, which were submitted 

with the state’s PM2.5 attainment 

demonstration, are adequate. Receipt of 

these MVEBs was announced on EPA’s 

transportation conformity website with 

a 30 day public comment period, and no 

comments were submitted. The finding 

is available at EPA’s conformity Web 

site: http://www.epa.gov/otaq/ 

stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm. 

The adequate 2002 and 2009 MVEBs, 

in tons per year (tpy), for PM2.5 and NOX

for the Indianapolis, Indiana area are as 

follows: 

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA

PM2.5 (tpy) NOX (tpy) 

2002 ................................................ 842.37 ........................................................................ 47,815.51

Transportation conformity is required 

by section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act. 

EPA’s conformity rule requires that 

transportation plans, programs, and 

projects conform to state air quality 

implementation plans and establishes 

the criteria and procedures for 

determining whether or not they do 

conform. Conformity to a State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) means that 

transportation activities will not 

produce new air quality violations, 

worsen existing violations, or delay 

timely attainment of the national 

ambient air quality standards. 

The criteria by which we determine 

whether a SIP’s motor vehicle emission 

budgets are adequate for transportation 

conformity purposes are outlined in 40 

CFR 93.118(e)(4). We have described 

our process for determining the 

adequacy of submitted SIP budgets in 

our July 1, 2004, preamble starting at 69 

FR 40038, and we used the information 

in these resources while making our 

adequacy determination. Please note 

that an adequacy review is separate 

from EPA’s completeness review, and it 

also should not be used to prejudge 

EPA’s ultimate approval of the SIP. 

Even if we find a budget adequate, the 

SIP could later be disapproved. 

The finding and the response to 

comments are available at EPA’s 

transportation conformity Web site:
