57444 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 162 / Wednesday, August 23, 2023 / Notices 

from the state of Florida for any 

potential wetland impacts and/or 

stormwater drainage modifications. 

Lead and Cooperating Agency Status: 

The DAF is the lead federal agency for 

this EIS action. Both the U.S. Army and 

the city of Crestview are participating in 

the DAF EIS process as cooperating 

agencies. 

Scoping and Agency Coordination: To 

define the full range of issues to be 

evaluated in the EIS effectively, the DAF 

will determine the scope of the analysis 

by soliciting comments from interested 

local, state, and federal elected officials 

and agencies, federally recognized 

Native American Tribes, as well as 

interested members of the public and 

others. 

Implementation of the Proposed 

Action to expand childcare services in 

the area north of the ETTC at Eglin AFB, 

FL would potentially impact wetlands 

and/or floodplains and would therefore 

be subject to Executive Order (E.O.) 

11990, ‘‘Protection of Wetlands,’’ and 

E.O. 11988, ‘‘Floodplain Management.’’ 

Regulatory agencies with special 

expertise in wetlands and floodplains, 

such as the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, will be contacted and asked 

to comment. Consistent with E.O. 11988 

and E.O. 11990, this NOI initiates early 

public review of the alternatives and 

invites public comments and 

identification of other potential 

alternatives. Implementation of the 

Proposed Action also has the potential 

to impact historic properties. 

Consultation with the appropriate State 

Historic Preservation Officer and 

federally-recognized Native American 

Tribes will occur as part of this process. 

The completion of consultations and 

any required cultural resources 

fieldwork will comply with section 106 

of the National Historic Preservation 

Act, and this compliance will assist 

with the development and selection of 

alternatives by assessing ways to avoid, 

minimize, or mitigate any adverse 

effects to historic properties. The 

documents produced during the section 

106 process will be included in the 

NEPA document, as an appendix. 

Concurrent with the publication of this 

NOI, public scoping notices will be 

announced locally inviting the public to 

identify and submit comments on 

potential alternatives, information, and 

analyses relevant to the Proposed 

Action as part of the EIS process.

Commission 

[Docket No. CP23–527–000] 

Northern Utilities, Inc. D/B/A Unitil; 

Notice of Application and Establishing 

Intervention Deadline 

Take notice that on August 7, 2023, 

Northern Utilities Inc. D/B/A Unitil 

(Northern), Six Liberty Lane West, 

Hampton, NH 03842–1720, filed an 

application under section 7(f) of the 

Natural Gas Act (NGA), and part 157 of 

the Commission’s regulations requesting 

authorization for its Service Territory 

Determination (Project). Northern 

respectfully requests that the 

Commission grant it a determination of 

a service area within which Northern 

may: (i) operate a minimal amount of 

piping across the New HampshireMassachusetts border in order to 

distribute and deliver natural gas to 

New Hampshire retail customers, and 

(ii) without further Commission 

authorization, enlarge or expand its 

facilities in its Salem, New Hampshire 

service territory. This determination 

will allow Northern to transport natural 

gas through a distribution line that 

receives gas in New Hampshire, crosses 

the Massachusetts State line into the 

town of Methuen, Massachusetts and 

then crosses back to New Hampshire for 

distribution to ultimate consumers in 

New Hampshire. Northern serves no 

consumers in Massachusetts through the 

distribution facilities at issue, all as 

more fully set forth in the application 

which is on file with the Commission 

and open for public inspection.
