activities involving the project. Now, as of the filing of this application onSeptember 28, 2015, the NEPA PreFiling Process for this project has ended. From this time forward, this proceeding
will be conducted in Docket No. CP15– 560–000 as noted in the caption of this
Notice.

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission’s regulations, 18 CFR 157.9, within 90 days of this Notice, the Commission’s staff will either complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the Commission’s public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or
issue a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review. If a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other milestones, the anticipated date for the
Commission’s staff issuance of the EA for this proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission’s public record for this proceeding or the issuance of a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to reach a final decision on a request for federal authorization within 90 days of the date
of issuance of the Commission staff’s

EA.

There are two ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426,
a motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must submit 7 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the proceeding.

However, a person does not have to
intervene in order to have comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. The Commission will
consider these comments in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission’s rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly involved in the protest.

Persons who wish to comment only
on the environmental review of this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments to the Secretary of the Commission.
Environmental commenters will be placed on the Commission’s environmental mailing list, will receive copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission’s environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents issued by the Commission) and will not have the right
to seek court review of the
Commission’s final order.

The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http:// www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should submit an original and 5 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the
instructions on the Commission’s Web site under the ‘‘e-Filing’’ link.

Comment Date: November 3, 2015.

Dated: October 13, 2015. Kimberly D. Bose,

recommended aquatic life water quality criteria provide technical information
for states and authorized tribes to consider when adopting water quality
standards under the Clean Water Act to protect aquatic life.

EPA is reopening the public comment period for the Draft Aquatic Life Ambient Water Quality Criterion for Selenium—Freshwater 2015 (EPA–822– P–15–001). The original 60-day comment period deadline was September 25, 2015. On September 24, 2015, EPA announced in the Federal Register a 15-day extension to October 10, 2015 (80 FR 57605).

Following closure of the public comment period, EPA will consider the public comments and revise the document as necessary. EPA will then publish a Federal Register notice announcing the availability of the final updated selenium criterion.
