an Extension to the Existing BP Cherry 

Point Dock, in Strait of Georgia at 

Cherry Point, Near Ferndale, Whatcom 

County, WA 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (Corps) Seattle District has 

prepared a Draft Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) to examine the 

incremental environmental risk, 

principally from vessel traffic, related to 

operation of the previously authorized 

and constructed North Wing of the BP 

Cherry Point dock. Incremental 

environmental risk is defined in this EIS 

as the change in environmental risk 

between operating the BP Cherry Point 

dock at maximum capacity with a single 

berth (the South Wing) and operating 

the dock with two berths (the North 

Wing and South Wing) at projected 

future vessel traffic levels. The Proposed 

Action is continuing the existing 

operations at the BP Cherry Point Dock 

with two berths, one principally for 

import of crude oil and the other for 

distribution of refined petroleum 

products. 

The Corps has been directed by Ninth 

Circuit Court of Appeals to complete an 

EIS on the impacts of the permitted 

dock. 

The Draft EIS was prepared in 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969, as amended, the Corps’ 

regulations for NEPA implementation 

(33 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 

parts 230 and 325, Appendices B and 

C). The Corps, Seattle District, 

Regulatory Branch is the federal lead 

agency and the U.S. Coast Guard, as a 

cooperating agency. Information 

contained in the EIS serves as the basis 

for a decision regarding evaluation 

process of the existing permit under 

Section 10 of Rivers and Harbors Act for 

the BP Cherry Point dock. It also 

provides information for U.S. Coast 

Guard, other Federal, state, and local 

agencies having jurisdictional 

responsibility for affected resources. 

DATES: Written comments on the Draft 

EIS will be accepted on or after June 6, 

2014 until August 6, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FERC–510, Application for 

Surrender of Hydropower License. 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0068. 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–510 information collection 

requirements with no changes to the 

current reporting requirements. 

Abstract: The information collected 

under the requirements of FERC–510 is 

used by the Commission to implement 

the statutory provisions of sections 4(e), 

6 and 13 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) 

(16 U.S.C. 797(e), 799 and 806). Section 

4(e) gives the Commission authority to 

issue licenses for the purposes of 

constructing, operating and maintaining 

dams, water conduits, reservoirs, 

powerhouses, transmission lines or 

other power project works necessary or 

convenient for developing and 

improving navigation, transmission and 

utilization of power using bodies of 

water over which Congress has 

jurisdiction. Section 6 gives the 

Commission the authority to prescribe 

the conditions of licenses including the 

revocation or surrender of the license. 

Section 13 defines the Commission’s 

authority to delegate time periods for 

when a license must be terminated if 

project construction has not begun. 

Surrender of a license may be desired by 

a licensee when a licensed project is 

retired or not constructed or natural 

catastrophes have damaged or destroyed 

the project facilities. 

FERC–510 is the application for the 

surrender of a hydropower license. The 

information is used by Commission staff 

to determine the broad impact of such 

surrender. The Commission will issue a 

notice soliciting comments from the 

public and other agencies and conduct 

a careful review of the application 

before issuing an order for Surrender of 

a License. The order is the result of an 

analysis of the information produced, 

i.e., economic, environmental concerns, 

etc., which is examined to determine if 

the application for surrender is 

warranted. The order implements the 

existing regulations and is inclusive for 

surrender of all types of hydropower 

licenses issued by FERC and its 

predecessor, the Federal Power 

Commission. The Commission 

implements these mandatory filing 

requirements in the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR 6.1– 

6.4. 

Type of Respondents: Private or 

Municipal Hydropower Licensees. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The 

Commission estimates the annual public 

reporting burden for the information 

collection as:
