70694 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 196 / Thursday, October 12, 2023 / Notices 

addressed the retirement of all 20 CT 

units at its Allen and Johnsonville 

plants and the replacement of the 

capacity lost with new CT units at its 

Paradise and Colbert plants. Under the 

current proposal, TVA is considering 

the continual operation of existing Units 

19 and 20 at ACT, previously identified 

for retirement. 

In December 2022, during Winter 

Storm Elliott, 16 of the units at ACT 

failed to start, impacting the TVA 

system position by 240 MWs. Since this 

event, these 16 units at Allen have 

ceased operations. Only two units at 

ACT (Units 19 and 20) are operable. 

Project Purpose and Need 

The purpose of the proposed action is 

to increase the flexibility and reliability 

of TVA power system by improving 

TVA’s transmission system stability in 

western Tennessee and providing new, 

dispatchable generation to support the 

continued system load growth 

experienced in the TVA power service 

area over the past few years. These 

improvements would help TVA to 

expand and integrate renewable energy 

resources onto its transmission grid, 

which would allow TVA to advance its 

decarbonization goals. 

TVA has identified the need to 

improve the stability of its transmission 

system in the western portion of 

Tennessee. In this area, additional 

resources are needed to ensure that 

adequate transmission voltages are 

maintained within the desired limits. In 

addition, as identified in the 2019 IRP, 

TVA needs flexible, dispatchable power 

that can successfully integrate 

increasing amounts of renewable energy 

sources while ensuring it can meet 

required year-round generation and 

maximum capacity system demands and 

planning reserve margin targets. 

Anticipated Environmental Impacts 

The EA or EIS will include an 

evaluation of the environmental, social, 

and economic impacts associated with 

implementing the proposed action. 

Because all ground disturbing activities 

associated with the proposal would 

occur within previously disturbed areas 

of TVA’s Allen facility, TVA anticipates 

that the primary issues to be addressed 

in the EA or EIS will be impacts to air 

quality, climate change, environmental 

justice, and transportation. Other 

resource issues, including 

socioeconomics and surface water 

quality, will be addressed. Measures to 

avoid, minimize, and mitigate adverse 

effects will be identified and evaluated 

in the EA or EIS. TVA seeks input from 

the public during the scoping period on 

other relevant issues that should be 

considered and potential mitigation 

measures. 

Anticipated Permits and Other 

Authorizations 

TVA anticipates seeking required 

permits or authorizations, as 

appropriate. TVA’s proposed action may 

require issuance of an air permit under 

the Clean Air Act; an Individual or 

Nationwide Permit under Section 404 of 

the Clean Water Act; Section 401 Water 

Quality Certification; conformance with 

Executive Orders on Environmental 

Justice (12898), Wetlands (11990), 

Floodplain Management (11988), 

Migratory Birds (13186), and Invasive 

Species (13112); and compliance with 

Section 106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act, Section 7 of the 

Endangered Species Act, and other 

applicable Local, Federal, and State 

regulations. 

Public Participation and Scoping 

Process 

Scoping, which is integral to the 

process for implementing NEPA, 

provides an early and open process to 

ensure that issues are identified early 

and properly studied; issues of little 

significance do not consume substantial 

time and effort; the draft EA or EIS is 

thorough and balanced; and delays 

caused by an inadequate EA or EIS are 

avoided. TVA seeks comment and 

participation from all interested parties 

for identification of potential 

alternatives, information, and analyses 

relevant to the proposed action in this 

EA or EIS. Public comments received 

during the scoping period will assist 

TVA in determining the appropriate 

level of NEPA review. 

Information about this project is 

available at https://www.tva.gov/NEPA, 

which includes a link to an online 

public comment page. Comments must 

be received or postmarked no later than 

November 13, 2023. Federal, state, local 

agencies, and Native American Tribes 

are also invited to provide comments. 

Please note that any comments received, 

including names and addresses, will 

become part of the project 

administrative record and will be 

available for public inspection. TVA 

plans to have an open house meeting 

during the scoping period. Visit https:// 

www.tva.gov/NEPA to submit comments 

and obtain more information about the 

open house meeting. 

EA or EIS Preparation and Schedule 

TVA will consider comments received 

during the scoping period and develop 

a scoping report which will be 

published online. The scoping report 

will summarize public and agency 

comments that were received and 

identify the projected schedule for 

completing the environmental review 

process. TVA will post a draft EA or EIS 

for public review and comment on the 

project web page. TVA anticipates 

holding a public open house after 

releasing the draft EA or EIS. TVA 

expects to release the draft EA or EIS in 

Spring or Summer 2024 and a final EA 

or EIS in late 2024. If an EIS is prepared, 

TVA would publish a Record of 

Decision at least 30 days after the 

release of the final EIS.

Petition for Exemption 

Docket No.: FAA–2023–0754. 

Petitioner: Global Aviation 

Technologies. 

Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: 

§§ 23.807(d)(1)(i); 23.811(b) and (c); and 

23.812. 

Description of Relief Sought: The 

petitioner requests relief from 

§ 23.807(d)(1)(i), which is a commuter 

category airplane safety requirement, 

that requires an airplane with a total 

passenger seating capacity of 15 or 

fewer to have an emergency exit on each 

side of the cabin (as defined in 

§ 23.807(b)) in addition to the passenger 

entry door. 

The petitioner also requests relief 

from § 23.811(b) and (c), which are 

commuter category airplane safety 

requirements for emergency exit 

marking, that require exits and doors to 

be internally marked with the word 

‘‘exit’’ by a sign that meets a specific 

size, color, and illumination as stated in 

those regulations. 

The petitioner also requests relief 

from § 23.812, which contains the safety 

requirements for commuter category 

airplanes for emergency lighting. 

The requested relief is for the Textron 

Model 390 airplane, Type Certificate 

A00010WI, which was certified as 

normal category. The petitioner’s project 

would increase the gross weight of the 

airplane which would necessitate 

compliance with the requirements for 

commuter category airplanes.
