from the port where each RLNGC is 

expected to receive LNG cargo at sea 

from conventional LNG carriers. STS1 

Santa Rosa (Latitude 33°39′ N, 

Longitude 119°56′30′′ W), STS2 Inshore 

San Clemente (Latitude 33°05′ N, 

Longitude 118°10′ W) and STS3 

Skaugen Offshore (Latitude 32°15′ N, 

Longitude 120°0′ W). Only one transfer 

location would be used at a time. The 

RLNGCs, with storage capacity of 

224,000 m3 of LNG would be capable of 

receiving conventional LNG carriers 

(LNGCs) with storage capacities of up to 

216,000 m3 of LNG. 

As proposed, LNG would be delivered 

from overseas by LNGCs and transferred 

to a Woodside RLNGC at one of the 

three STS locations. The RLNGC would 

then be sailed and moored to a SPM, 

where the LNG would be regasified into 

natural gas and delivered to shore via 

two new parallel 24-inch pipelines. The 

RLNGC would then return to a STS 

location. 

The RLNGCs would use a turret 

system with the SPMs to allow the 

RLNGC to weathervane (rotate) around 

the buoy. Onboard utilities and systems 

associated with RLNCG operations 

would include electric power generation 

and distribution, instrumentation and 

controls, and fire and safety systems. 

The RLNGC would include all marine 

systems, communications, navigation 

aids and equipment necessary to safely 

conduct RLNGC carrier operations, 

receive and vaporize product. 

The RLNGCs would use a forced draft 

ambient air LNG vaporization system 

using a combination of intermediate 

fluid and direct ambient air with heat 

provided by ambient air called the 

Woodside Hybrid Air Vaporization 

(WHAV) concept. 

Natural gas would be delivered 

onshore via two 24-inch parallel 

pipelines, approximately 35 miles in 

length. These pipelines would come 

onshore on the north end of LAX at 

Dockweiler Beach. It is proposed that 

horizontal directional drilling be used to 

install the pipelines beneath land and 

seabed in offshore City waters and 

underneath the beach and adjacent 

dunes from a point about 1000 feet 

inland from the high tide mark just east 

of Vista del Mar on LAX property. 

Woodside would lease/franchise from 

the City a 300 foot wide corridor on 

submerged City lands out to the 3 

nautical mile (3.45 mile) offshore limit 

of the City boundary. On-shore 

pipelines would be constructed on Cityowned land from the high tide line to 

Pershing Drive, passing under the beach 

and the El Segundo Dunes, and 

underground through City streets. The 

route would include Westchester 

Parkway/Arbor Vitae Street, then south 

on Bellanca Avenue to the receiving and 

custody transfer station (RCTS) and 

adjacent Inert Gas Injection Facility 

(IGIF) located at 5651 96th Street, Los 

Angeles, about 4 miles inland. A single 

36-inch pipeline would run 

approximately a quarter of a mile back 

north on Bellanca Avenue to Arbor 

Vitae, then to the existing Southern 

California Gas natural gas pipeline 

infrastructure with Tie-in #1 at the 

intersection of Aviation Boulevard and 

Arbor Vitae Street. A second stage, with 

development depending on demand, 

may include additional pipelines and 

tie-ins that are an approximate 11-mile 

single 24-inch line from Tie-In #1 along 

Arbor Vitae, Prairie, Manchester, 

Firestone, and California to Tie-In #3 at 

Santa Ana Street and Otis Avenue in 

Huntington Park and an approximate 1 

mile single 24-inch line from 

Manchester Street to Central Ave to TieIn #2 at the intersection of S. Central 

Avenue and E. Century Boulevard. 

These pipeline routes include running 

through the cities of Los Angeles, 

Inglewood, South Gate and Huntington 

Park. At full development, Southern 

California Gas would own and operate 

the system downstream of the RCTS. 

The application also includes an 

alternative DWP location in the Gulf of 

Santa Catalina approximately 30 miles 

from Huntington Beach at latitude 

117°56′28.53′′ west, longitude 

33°13′24.88′′ north with a 30 mile 

pipeline running north to a shore 

crossing at the AES power plant in 

Huntington Beach. It would cross 

through the cities of Huntington Beach, 

Fountain Valley, Westminster, Garden 

Grove, Santa Anna, and Orange. The 

pipeline would be trenched through city 

streets traveling north along Newland 

Street towards Bolsa Avenue; turn east 

at Bolsa Ave. (1st Street); turn north at 

the OCTA Metrolink Right of Way and 

join Lincoln Ave; east on Fairhaven 

Ave.; north at Cambridge Street; and 

finally west on Palm Ave. where the 

pipeline would connect to the SCG tiein in Orange.

comments. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA), this notice announces that 

PHMSA has forwarded an Information 

Collection Request to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for a 

new information collection. This 

information collection is a survey of 

hazardous liquid operators to obtain 

information on unregulated low-stress 

hazardous liquid pipeline 

characteristics. The purpose of this 

notice is to invite the public to submit 

comments on the request to OMB. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

October 9, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments directly to 

the Office of Management and Budget, 

Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Attn: Desk Officer for the 

Department of Transportation, 725 17th 

Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Lane Miller at (405) 954–4969, or by email at Lane.Miller@dot.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Pipeline Inspection, Protection, 

Enforcement, and Safety Act of 2006 

(PIPES Act) enacted into law on 

December 29, 2006, reauthorizes 

PHMSA-administered pipeline safety 

programs for fiscal years 2007 through 

2010. Section 4 of the PIPES Act 

requires that PHMSA issue regulations 

by December 31, 2007, subjecting all 

low-stress hazardous liquid pipelines to 

the same standards and regulations as 

other hazardous liquid pipelines. 

PHMSA currently exempts low stress 

pipelines from regulations except for 

those in populated areas and crossing 

navigable waterways. On May 18, 2007, 

PHMSA published a supplementary 

notice of proposed rulemaking 

proposing to apply all Federal 

Hazardous liquid pipeline safety 

regulations to a specific set of these 

remaining low rural low-stress lines (72 

FR 28008).

1 In a related transaction, Dakota, Missouri Valley 

& Western Railroad, Inc. (DMVW), filed a verified 

notice of exemption to lease and operate, pursuant 

to an agreement with CPR, approximately 45 miles 

of rail line that CPR plans to acquire from BNSF 

and then lease to DMVW. See Dakota, Missouri 

Valley & Western Railroad, Inc.—Acquisition and 

Operation Exemption—Soo Line Railway Company 

d/b/a Canadian Pacific Railway, STB Finance 

Docket No. 35055 (STB served Aug. 10, 2007). 

Low-stress pipelines are pipelines 

operating at 20 percent or less of the 

specified minimum yield strength of the 

line pipe. PHMSA does not have data on 

the total extent of currently unregulated 

hazardous liquid low-stress pipelines in 

the United States. To address this gap in 

the data and to obtain a more accurate 

understanding of the unregulated 

hazardous liquid low-stress pipelines, 

PHMSA is requesting OMB approval to 

conduct a one-time information 

collection survey. To the extent 

possible, all operators of hazardous 

liquid pipelines will be surveyed about 

low stress mileage (including interplant 

pipeline mileage), diameter, pipeline 

material, products transported, and 

location. 

In order to reach as many operators as 

possible, the survey will be delivered 

electronically to each of the companies 

currently operating regulated hazardous 

liquid pipelines. PHMSA will also 

attempt to reach companies that own 

and/or operate currently unregulated 

pipelines exclusively by working with 

industry associations to announce and 

distribute the survey via e-mail 

newsletters to members. Respondents 

will be able to print an electronic 

version of the survey and mail a hard 

copy, or complete the survey on-line 

and e-mail it. Participation in the survey 

is optional. 

Pursuant to 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, PHMSA is required to obtain 

OMB approval for information 

collections. The term ‘‘information 

collection’’ includes all work related to 

preparing and disseminating 

information related to this proposed 

information collection including: 

Completing paperwork, gathering 

information, and conducting telephone 

calls. PHMSA published a notice 

providing a 60-day period for comments 

on the proposed information collection 

in the Federal Register on June 14, 2007 

(72 FR 32941), and received no 

comments. PHMSA is now providing an 

additional 30-day comment period and 

inviting comments on whether the 

proposed information collection is 

necessary for DOT’s proper 

performance. The comments may 

include (1) whether the information will 

have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

DOT’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed information collection; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information collection; and 

(4) ways to minimize the burden of the 

information collection on respondents, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Type of Information Collection 

Request: New Collection. 

Respondents: 158. 

Frequency: This is a one-time survey. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 16 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 2,528 hours. 

Dated: August 31, 2007.
