SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Federal Register of January 15, 2021, we 

published the NIA for the FY 2021 AAE 

competition. Following publication of 

the NIA, the new Administration came 

into office. Upon review of the NIA, we 

decided to eliminate Competitive 

Preference Priority 1—Applications 

from New Potential Grantees. 

Accordingly, we are amending the 

NIA to notify prospective applicants 

that we are no longer using Competitive 

Preference Priority 1—Applications 

from New Potential Grantees, and are 

making related conforming changes. In 

addition, we are extending the deadline 

for transmittal of applications in order 

to allow applicants more time to prepare 

and submit their applications, and are 

also extending the deadline for 

intergovernmental review. The 

application package will be adjusted to 

reflect the changes. 

Applicants that have already 

submitted applications under the FY 

2021 AAE competition may resubmit 

applications but are not required to do 

so. If a new application is not 

submitted, the Department will use the 

application that was submitted by the 

original deadline, without regard to any 

response to the competitive preference 

priority that we are removing. If a new 

application is submitted, the 

Department will consider the 

application that is most recently 

submitted before the deadline of April 

15, 2021. 

All other requirements and conditions 

stated in the NIA remain the same.

[Docket No. CP20–504–000] 

Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice 

of Availability of the Environmental 

Assessment for the Proposed Lake 

City 1st Branch Line Abandonment 

and Capacity Replacement Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

Lake City 1st Branch Line Abandonment 

and Capacity Replacement Project 

proposed by Northern Natural Gas 

Company (Northern) in the abovereferenced docket. Northern requests 

authorization to abandon, construct, 

modify, and operate natural gas pipeline 

facilities in Webster and Calhoun 

Counties, Iowa. 

The EA assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the Lake 

City 1st Branch Line Abandonment and 

Capacity Replacement Project in 

accordance with the requirements of the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that 

approval of the proposed project, with 

appropriate mitigating measures, would 

not constitute a major federal action 

significantly affecting the quality of the 

human environment.
