Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP10–46–000] 

Equitrans, L.P.; Notice of Request 

Under Blanket Authorization 

February 1, 2010. 

Take notice that on January 25, 2010, 

Equitrans, L.P. (Equitrans), 625 Liberty 

Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 

15222, filed in Docket No. CP10–46– 

000, a prior notice request pursuant to 

sections 157.205, 157.208 and 157.210 

of the Commission’s regulations under 

the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authority 

to modify and replace segments of its 

mainline system at fifty-three locations 

in Greene County, Pennsylvania; and 

Doddridge, Harrison, Lewis, Marion, 

Monongalia, and Wetzel Counties, West 

Virginia and to make certain 

modifications to compressor engines at 

its Pratt Compressor Station in Greene 

County, all as more fully set forth in the 

application, which is on file with the 

Commission and open to public 

inspection. The filing may also be 

viewed on the Web at http:// 

www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.

Specifically, Equitrans proposes to 

modify and uprate its compressor units 

at the Pratt Compressor Station and to 

upgrade and increase the capacity of its 

upstream facilities that deliver into the 

Pratt Compressor Station. Equitrans 

states that the central purpose of this 

proposal is to meet market demand for 

an additional 92,000 dekatherms (Dth) 

per day of firm, off-system delivery 

capacity through the Pratt Compressor 

Station into downstream, interstate 

transmission systems operated by Texas 

Eastern Transmission LP (Texas 

Eastern), Dominion Transmission, Inc. 

(DTI), and Columbia Gas Transmission 

(Columbia). Equitrans asserts that the 

proposed upgrade and expansion of the 

subject facilities will create an 

additional 77,300 Dth per day of 

potential firm capacity. Additionally, 

Equitrans proposes to test, replace and/ 

or modify certain segments of its 

pipeline system to increase the 

maximum allowable operating pressure 

(MAOP) of its Low Pressure West 

System (LPW System) originating at the 

West Union Station to 605 pounds per 

square inch gauge (psig) and the MAOP 

of the Low Pressure East System (LPE 

System) originating at the Copley 

Station to 655 psig. Equitrans states that 

the modifications to the LPW System 

will provide an additional 51,200 Dth 

per day of potential capacity and the 

modifications to the LPE System will 

provide an additional 26,100 Dth per 

day of potential capacity. Equitrans 

states that the estimated cost of the 

subject facilities is approximately 

$9,710,241. 

Any questions regarding the 

application should be directed to Joseph 

M. Dawley, Counsel, Equitrans, L.P., 

625 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, 

Pennsylvania 15222, at (412) 553–7708 

or (412) 553–7781 (facsimile). 

Any person may, within 60 days after 

the issuance of the instant notice by the 

Commission, file pursuant to Rule 214 

of the Commission’s Procedural Rules 

(18 CFR 385.214) a motion to intervene 

or notice of intervention. Any person 

filing to intervene or the Commission’s 

staff may, pursuant to section 157.205 of 

the Commission’s Regulations under the 

NGA (18 CFR 157.205) file a protest to 

the request. If no protest is filed within 

the time allowed therefore, the proposed 

activity shall be deemed to be 

authorized effective the day after the 

time allowed for protest. If a protest is 

filed and not withdrawn within 30 days 

after the time allowed for filing a 

protest, the instant request shall be 

treated as an application for 

authorization pursuant to section 7 of 

the NGA.

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

1788.09, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0388. 

ICR Status: This ICR is schedule to 

expire on February 28, 2010. Under 

OMB regulations, the Agency may 

continue to conduct or sponsor the 

collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. An 

Agency may not conduct or sponsor, 

and a person is not required to respond 

to, a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. The OMB control numbers for 

EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR, 

after appearing in the Federal Register 

when approved, are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9, and displayed either by 

publication in the Federal Register or 

by other appropriate means, such as on 

the related collection instrument or 

form, if applicable. The display of OMB 

control numbers in certain EPA 

regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR 

part 9. 

Abstract: NESHAP for Oil and Natural 

Gas Production (40 CFR part 63, subpart 

HH) (Renewal), were proposed on 

February 06, 1998, and promulgated on 

June 17, 1999, only for major sources. 

On July 8, 2005, a supplemental 

proposal was proposed for area sources 

with the final rule effective date on 

January 03, 2007. This regulation 

applies to existing and new facilities 

that are both major and area sources. A 

major source of hazardous air pollutants 

(HAP) is one that has the potential to 

emit, 10 tons or more of any one 

hazardous air pollutant or 25 tons or 

more of total HAP per year; an area 

source is one with the potential to emit 

less than this. 

Owners and operators of a new and 

existing area source are subject to the 

General Provision (40 CFR part 63, 

subpart A). In general, all NESHAP 

standards require initial notifications, 

performance tests, and periodic reports 

by the owners/operators of the affected 

facilities. They are also required to 

maintain records of the occurrence and 

duration of any startup, shutdown, or 

malfunction in the operation of an 

affected facility, or any period during 

which the monitoring system is 

inoperative. These notifications, reports, 

and records are essential in determining 

compliance, and are required of all 

affected facilities subject to NESHAP. 

Semiannual summary reports are also 

required. 

Any owner or operator subject to the 

provisions of this subpart must maintain 

a file of these measurements, and retain 

the file for at least five years following 

the collection of such measurements, 

maintenance reports, and records. 

All reports are sent to the delegated 

state or local authority. In the event that 

there is no such delegated authority, the 

reports are sent directly to the EPA 

regional office. This information is 

being collected to assure compliance 

with 40 CFR part 63, subpart HH, as 

authorized in sections 112 and 114(a) of 

the Clean Air Act. The required 

information consists of emissions data 

and other information that have been 

determined to be private. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

Control Number. The OMB Control 

Number for EPA regulations listed in 40 

CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, are 

identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 75 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose, and provide information to 

or for a Federal agency. This includes 

the time needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information. All existing 

ways will have to adjust to comply with 

any previously applicable instructions 

and requirements that have 

subsequently changed; train personnel 

to be able to respond to a collection of 

information; search data sources; 

complete and review the collection of 

information; and transmit or otherwise 

disclose the information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: Oil 

and natural gas production. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

132,527. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

annually, and semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

178,974. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$17,243,906, which includes 

$16,649,703 in labor costs, $23,445 in 

capital/startup costs, and $570,758 in 

operation and maintenance (O&M) 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease in the labor hours in this ICR 

as compared to the previous one. This 

ICR combines two ICRs covering major 

sources and area sources. The new area 

source standard required initial 

notification by a large number of 

respondents. In this ICR, such 

notifications are not required; therefore 

the number of labor hours is reduced. It 

should be noted that this ICR includes 

a large number of sources that are 

subject only to the recordkeeping 

requirements of this regulation and do 

not report to the agency. 

This ICR addresses capital/startup 

and O&M costs for both major sources, 

and area sources. Therefore, the capital/ 

startup and O&M costs are higher.

Notice of a Project Waiver of Section 

1605 (Buy American Requirement) of 

the American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) to 

the Auburn, Indiana Department of 

Water Pollution Control (Auburn) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The EPA is hereby granting a 

project waiver of the Buy American 

requirements of ARRA Section 1605 

under the authority of Section 

1605(b)(2) [manufactured goods are not 

produced in the United States of a 

satisfactory quality] to Auburn for the 

purchase of a Hydroself model HS40 

flushing gate system. This is a projectspecific waiver and only applies to the 

use of the specified product for the 

ARRA funded project being proposed. 

Any other ARRA project that may wish 

to use the same product must apply for 

a separate waiver based on projectspecific circumstances. These flushing 

gates, which are supplied by Gabriel 

Novac & Associates Inc, are 

manufactured in Canada, and meet 

Auburn’s performance specifications 

and requirements. The Acting Regional 

Administrator is making this 

determination based on the review and 

recommendations of EPA Region 5’s 

Water Division. Auburn has provided 

sufficient documentation to support its 

request. The Assistant Administrator of 

the Office of Administration and 

Resources Management has concurred 

on this decision to make an exception 

to Section 1605 of ARRA. This action 

permits the purchase of a flushing gate 

system for Auburn’s ‘‘Long Term Control 

Plan Store-Treat Facility Project’’ that 

may otherwise be prohibited under 

Section 1605(a) of the ARRA. 

DATES: Effective Date: December 10, 

2009

Henning, SRF Financial Analyst (312)

Counsel, (312) 353–3190, U.S. EPA 

Region 5, 77 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, 

IL 60613. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with ARRA Section 1605(c) 

and pursuant to Section 1605(b)(2) of 

Public Law 111–5, Buy American 

requirements, EPA hereby provides 

notice that it is granting a project waiver 

to Auburn for the acquisition of a 

flushing gate system which is 

manufactured in Canada. The 

manufacturer is Gabriel Novac & 

Associates Inc. 

Section 1605 of the ARRA requires 

that none of the appropriated funds may 

be used for the construction, alteration, 

maintenance, or repair of a public 

building or public work unless all of the 

iron, steel, and manufactured goods 

used in the project are produced in the 

United States, or unless a waiver is 

provided to the recipient by the head of 

the appropriate agency, here EPA. A 

waiver may be provided if EPA 

determines that (1) Applying these 

requirements would be inconsistent 

with the public interest; (2) iron, steel, 

and the relevant manufactured goods 

are not produced in the United States in 

sufficient and reasonably available 

quantities and of a satisfactory quality; 

or (3) inclusion of iron, steel, and the 

relevant manufactured goods produced 

in the United States will increase the 

cost of the overall project by more than 

25 percent. 

Auburn proposes to construct a ‘‘Long 

Term Control Plan Store-Treat Facility 

Project’’ at the Auburn Water Pollution 

Control Facility on Wayne Street in 

Auburn. The project is part of Auburn’s 

20- year Long Term Control Plan to 

reduce combined sewer overflows 

(CSO’s). This project will provide 

storage volume for excess combined 

sewer flows in a storage tank during rain 

events which would have previously 

discharged to Cedar Creek. After the 

rain event, the excess sewer flow will be 

treated at the Water Pollution Control 

Facility. Proper maintenance of the 

storage tank will require periodic 

cleaning, to remove solids that settle at 

the bottom of the tank. Auburn proposes 

to use a flushing gate system to remove 

settled solids from the tank. The 

flushing gate system holds sewer 

overflow water in reserve in 

compartments at the upstream end of 

the storage tank. This flush water, 

released by a patented mechanism, gives 

rise to a high celerity wave that 

effectively removes all accumulated 

debris in basins and interceptors over 

flushway lengths greater than any other 

available method. The use of sewer
