issues change over time but may be affected by lifestyle and directed interventions). We would welcome well-designed research and development projects with either (or another) focus.

Change: None. Comments: One commenter suggested that community living and participation as a domain does not sufficiently reflect the importance of social relationships.

Discussion: We are committed to people with disabilities being both in the community and part of the community. We welcome applications that design and evaluate interventions that go beyond physical integration to achieving social inclusion and interpersonal relationships.

Change: None. 14. Centers of Excellence

Comments: Two commenters asked for clarification of the expectations about the concept of ‘‘Centers of Excellence.’’

Discussion: ‘‘Centers of National Excellence’’ is a term that was added to the description of RRTCs by Congress in the last reauthorization of NIDRR. RRTCs, as Centers of Excellence, are expected to serve as ‘‘national resource centers’’ for the topics and populations they address. We agree with the commenter that introduction of the new term ‘‘Centers of Excellence’’ to describe RRTCs is unnecessarily confusing.

Change: In the RRTC criteria, we will continue to require that RRTCs serve as ‘‘national resource centers’’ and continue to expect excellence from them, but we will eliminate the designation of ‘‘Centers of Excellence.’’
15. Types of Programs Within the NIDRR Portfolio

Comments: Two commenters indicated that the information about the types of programs that are administered by NIDRR is not clear.

Discussion: NIDRR’s programs are designated in its authorizing legislation located in sections 200 through 205 of the Rehabilitation Act, as amended. We manage these programs in a manner consistent with the authorizing statute, regulations established in 34 CFR parts 350 through 359, and annual appropriations bills.

Change: None. [FR Doc. 2013–07879 Filed 4–3–13; 8:45 am]

**Downeast LNG, Inc., Downeast Pipeline, LLC.; Notice of Availability of**  **the Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed**  **Downeast LNG Project**

The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared a Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Downeast LNG Project, proposed by Downeast LNG, Inc. and Downeast Pipeline, LLC (hereafter collectively referred to as Downeast) in the above-referenced dockets. Downeast requests authorization to construct and operate a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal, natural gas pipeline, and associated facilities in Washington County, Maine. The Downeast LNG Project would provide about 500 million cubic feet per day of imported natural gas to the New England region.

The Commission previously issued a draft EIS for this project in May 2009. Since then the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has issued clarifications on its Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 193, which are relevant to the proposed Downeast LNG Project. In October 2011, DOT issued final decisions approving specific alternative models for use in complying with these federal safety standards. Downeast filed information with the FERC as required by the latest DOT interpretations in October and November 2012. In 2010, the U.S. Coast Guard (Coast Guard) revised its regulations in Title 33, CFR, Part 127 on the process used to examine the suitability of the waterway for LNG carrier transits. In 2011, the Coast Guard also updated Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular 01–2011, ‘‘Guidance Related to Waterfront LNG Facilities.’’ In 2012, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released the report ‘‘Liquefied Natural Gas Safety Research Report to Congress’’ detailing the results of research conducted by Sandia National Laboratories on intentional breaches of LNG carrier cargo tanks and the resulting LNG spills on water.

Based on the new information from the DOT, DOE, Coast Guard, and Downeast, FERC staff revised the reliability and safety analysis of the LNG terminal and carrier transit that was presented in the May 2009 draft EIS and prepared the Supplemental draft EIS. This document presents FERC staff’s: technical review of the proposed facility’s preliminary design; siting analysis, prepared with the cooperation of the DOT; and conclusions on the waterway suitability based on input from the Coast Guard. The DOT participated as a cooperating agency in the preparation of the Supplemental draft EIS.

We 1 mailed copies of the Supplemental draft EIS to federal, state, and local government representatives and agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes; potentially affected landowners and other interested individuals and groups; newspapers and libraries in the project area; and parties to this proceeding. Paper copy versions of the Supplement to the draft EIS were mailed to those specifically requesting them; all others
