COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING 

COMMISSION 

Energy and Environmental Markets 

Advisory Committee 

AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures 

Trading Commission (CFTC or 

Commission) is requesting nominations 

for Associate Members of the Energy 

and Environmental Markets Advisory 

Committee (EEMAC or Committee). The 

EEMAC is an advisory committee 

established by the Dodd-Frank Wall 

Street Reform and Consumer Protection 

Act. 

DATES: The deadline for the submission 

of nominations is October 19, 2023. 

ADDRESSES: Nominations should be 

emailed to EEMAC_Submissions@

cftc.gov or sent by hand delivery or 

courier to Chris Lucas, Chief of Staff to 

Commissioner Summer K. Mersinger, 

Commodity Futures Trading 

Commission, Three Lafayette Centre, 

1155 21st Street NW, Washington, DC 

20581. Please use the title ‘‘Energy and 

Environmental Markets Advisory 

Committee’’ for any nominations you 

submit. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Lauren Fulks, EEMAC Secretary, (816) 

960–7719 or email: lfulks@cftc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

EEMAC was established to conduct 

public meetings; submit reports and 

recommendations to the Commission; 

and otherwise serve as a vehicle for 

discussion and communication on 

matters of concern to exchanges, trading 

firms, end users, energy producers, and 

regulators regarding energy and 

environmental markets and their 

regulation by the Commission. 

Pursuant to the EEMAC’s authorizing 

statute, the EEMAC must have nine 

members. In addition, the EEMAC 

Charter requires that the Committee 

have approximately 9–20 Associate 

Members. With several Associate 

Members’ terms recently expiring, 

Commissioner Summer K. Mersinger, 

the EEMAC’s Sponsor, seeks additional 

Associate Members of the EEMAC. 

Accordingly, the Commission invites 

the submission of nominations for 

EEMAC Associate Members who 

represent a wide diversity of opinions 

and a broad spectrum of interests 

related to the energy and environmental 

markets and their regulation by the 

Commission. To advise the Commission 

effectively, EEMAC Associate Members 

must have a high level of expertise and 

experience in the energy and/or 

environmental markets and the 

Commission’s regulation of such 

markets, including from a historical 

perspective. To the extent practicable, 

the Commission will strive to select 

members reflecting wide ethnic, racial, 

gender, and age representation. All 

EEMAC Associate Members must be 

willing to participate in a public forum. 

Each nomination submission must 

provide relevant information about the 

proposed Associate Member: the 

individual’s name, title, organizational 

affiliation and address, email address 

and telephone number, as well as 

information that supports the 

individual’s qualifications to serve as an 

Associate Member of the EEMAC (e.g., 

C.V. or resume). The submission must 

also include the name, email address, 

and telephone number of the person 

nominating the proposed Associate 

Member. Self-nominations are 

acceptable. 

Submission of a nomination is not a 

guarantee of selection as an Associate 

Member of the EEMAC. As noted in the 

EEMAC’s Charter, the CFTC identifies 

Associate Members of the EEMAC 

through a variety of methods. Such 

methods may include public requests 

for nominations for membership; 

recommendations from existing 

advisory committee members; 

consultations with knowledgeable 

persons outside the CFTC (industry, 

consumer groups, other state or federal 

government agencies, academia, etc.); 

requests to be represented received from 

individuals and organizations; and 

Commissioners’ and CFTC staff’s 

professional knowledge of those 

experienced in the energy and 

environmental markets. The office of the 

Commissioner primarily responsible for 

the EEMAC plays a primary, but not 

exclusive, role in this process and 

makes recommendations regarding 

membership to the Commission. The 

Commission, by vote, authorizes 

Associate Members to serve on the 

EEMAC. 

Associate Members may be appointed 

as representatives, special government 

employees, or regular government 

employees. Associate Members serve at 

the pleasure of the Commission, and 

may be appointed to serve for one, two, 

or three-year terms. As required by the 

EEMAC Charter, Associate Members 

provide their reports and 

recommendations directly to the 

EEMAC and not the Commission. 

Associate Members do not have the 

right to vote on matters before the 

EEMAC and may not sign or otherwise 

formally approve reports or 

recommendations made by the EEMAC 

to the Commission. Associate Members 

do not receive compensation for their 

services, and are not reimbursed for 

travel and per diem expenses. The 

EEMAC meets at such intervals as are 

necessary to carry out its functions and 

must meet at least two times per year. 

Associate Members are expected to 

provide their advice and 

recommendations to EEMAC members 

during these meetings.

Notwithstanding any other provisions 

of the law, no person is required to 

respond to, nor shall any person be

committee and subcommittee applicants 

and members, and those who make 

recommendations for committee or 

subcommittee memberships or 

otherwise interact with the CFTC 

regarding its advisory committees and 

subcommittees. The CFTC will use the 

information primarily for the 

administration of its advisory 

committees and subcommittees, 

including as part of the member 

evaluation and selection process. The

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army 

Programmatic Environmental Impact 

Statement for Real Property Master 

Plan Implementation at Military Ocean 

Terminal Sunny Point, North Carolina 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DOD. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the Army 

(Army) announces its intent to conduct 

public scoping under the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to 

gather information to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for proposed near-term real property 

actions and the update of the Real 

Property Master Plan (RPMP) for 

Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point 

(MOTSU). MOTSU is a 16,435-acre 

installation located on the banks of the 

Cape Fear River between the towns of 

Boiling Spring Lakes and Southport, 

North Carolina. The scoping process 

will help identify reasonable 

alternatives, potential environmental 

impacts, and key issues of concern to be 

analyzed in the EIS. The Army intends 

to comply with the requirements of 

section 106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act in parallel with this 

NEPA process and invites federally 

recognized Tribes and the State Historic 

Preservation Office (SHPO) of North 

Carolina to participate in the 

consultation process. 

DATES: Scoping comments must be 

submitted/sent on or before November 

11, 2023. There will be a public 

meeting, as discussed below. 

ADDRESSES: Please send written 

comments to James A. Rupkalvis, 

Installation Manager, 6280 Sunny Point 

Road, Southport, NC 28461–7800 or via 

email to james.a.rupkalvis.civ@

army.mil. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Stephen C Herring, Legislative Affairs 

Officer, Public and Congressional 

Affairs Office, Military Surface 

Deployment and Distribution 

Command; telephone (618) 220–6119; 

email: stephen.c.herring.civ@army.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: MOTSU is 

the Military Surface Deployment and 

Distribution Command’s East Coast 

strategic ammunition port and is the 

Department of Defense’s primary 

ammunition seaport supporting the 

European, African, and Middle Eastern 

areas of operation. The proposed action 

includes barricade safety, waterfront 

maintenance, Pleasure Island Explosive 

Safety Clear Zone security, linear 

infrastructure (e.g., roads, rail, utilities, 

firebreaks), stormwater mitigation, and 

cantonment area infill. In addition to 

these projects planned for the fiscal year 

2025 through 2031 timeframe, the 

proposed action includes modernizing 

operation areas and general repair and 

maintenance of infrastructure, to 

include facilities, wharves, roads, rail, 

utilities, and perimeter security. The 

purpose of the proposed action is to 

provide MOTSU a master plan that will 

guide installation-wide real property 

management and development. The 

need for the proposed action is to 

maintain and modernize MOTSU’s 

infrastructure so its staff and assets are 

safe and secure and so its vital, longterm, trans-shipment mission is assured. 

The master plan allows for a 

coordinated approach to the 

maintenance and modernization of 

critical infrastructure. 

The EIS will evaluate the potential 

impacts associated with implementing 

the proposed RPMP activities, to 

include analyzing Full-Plan 

Implementation, a Partial 

Implementation Alternative, and a NoAction Alternative. Any other 

reasonable alternatives identified during 

the scoping process will be considered 

for evaluation in the EIS. The EIS will 

assess the impacts of the alternatives on 

resources and identify mitigation 

measures. Resource areas to be 

addressed include land use and coastal 

zone management, cultural resources, 

socioeconomics and environmental 

justice, transportation and utilities 

infrastructure, hazardous materials, 

hazardous waste, toxic substances, and 

contaminated sites. The proposed action 

could result in significant adverse 

effects to endangered species, 100-year 

floodplains, wetlands, and waters of the 

Cape Fear River. Anticipated permits 

and other authorizations include 

findings of no practicable alternatives 

for actions proposed in floodplains and 

wetlands per Executive Orders 11988 

and 11990 respectively, Endangered 

Species Act consultations and take 

permits, National Historic Preservation 

Act consultations, Clean Water Act 

section 401 water quality certifications 

and section 404 permits, Rivers and 

Harbors Act section 10 permits, 

Sediment Pollution Control Act permits, 

and North Carolina Coastal Area 

Management Act federal consistency 

determinations. Actual permits and 

other authorizations will be determined 

for each project following that project’s 

final design. 

Members of the public, federally 

recognized Native American Tribes, and 

Federal, state, and local agencies are 

invited to participate in the scoping 

process for the preparation of this EIS 

by attending the virtual public meeting 

and/or submitting written comments. 

The Army requests input on 

identification of potential alternatives, 

information, and analyses relevant to 

the proposed action. 

Written comments must be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

NOI in the Federal Register. A virtual 

public meeting will be held during this 

period. The date and location of the 

meeting will be announced at least 

seven days in advance through local 

media, newspapers, and on the project’s 

website. Materials, including posters, 

fact sheet(s), and comment forms will be 

made available on https://

www.sddc.army.mil/SitePages/ 

Environmental%20Programs.aspx.
