Southern Star states that the proposed 

20-inch replacement will be constructed 

beginning at the end of an existing 20- 

inch loop pipeline and continuing in an 

eastward direction for approximately 

5.7 miles. Southern Star asserts that 

after the proposed construction is 

completed, approximately 5.7 miles of 

the 12-inch XT pipeline will be 

abandoned either in place or by reclaim. 

Southern Star estimates the cost of 

construction to be $7,389,273. 

Southern Star declares that the 

replacement pipeline will improve 

reliability and offer flexibility on its 

system. Southern Star states that the 

replacement does not provide any 

additional firm capacity upstream. 

Any questions regarding the 

application should be directed to David 

N. Roberts, Manager, Regulatory Affairs,

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[FRL–85-25–1] 

Establishment of the Farm, Ranch, and 

Rural Communities Advisory 

Committee (FRRCC) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice; establishment of a 

Federal Advisory Committee. 

SUMMARY: As required by section 9(a)(2) 

of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 

we are giving notice that EPA is 

establishing the Farm, Ranch, and Rural 

Communities Advisory Committee 

(FRRCC). The purpose of the FRRCC is 

to provide advice to the Administrator 

of EPA on environmental issues and 

programs that impact, or are of concern 

to, farms, ranches, and rural 

communities. The FRRCC is a part of 

EPA’s efforts to expand cooperative 

working relationships with the 

agriculture industry and others who are 

interested in agriculture issues and to 

achieve greater progress in 

environmental protection. The major 

objectives will be to provide advice and 

recommendations on: Impacts of 

Agency agriculture-related programs, 

policies, and regulations regarding 

climate change and renewable energy; 

identification and development of a 

comprehensive environmental strategy 

for livestock operations; and 

development of a constructive approach 

or framework to address areas of 

common interest between sustainable 

agriculture and protection of the 

environment. Topics covered may 

include issues relating to water, air and 

radiation, solid waste and emergency 

response, pesticides and toxics, 

enforcement and compliance assistance, 

and research and development. EPA has 

determined that this federal advisory 

committee is in the public interest and 

will assist the Agency in performing its 

duties and responsibilities. Copies of 

the FRRCC’s charter will be filed with 

the appropriate congressional 

committees and the Library of Congress. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Alicia Kaiser, Special Assistant for 

Agricultural Policy, US Environmental 

Protection Agency (2415B Ariel Rios 

North), 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, 

NW., Washington, DC 20460, E-mail 

address: Kaiser.Alicia@epa.gov, 

Telephone number: (202) 564–7273. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FRRCC will be composed of 

approximately thirty (30) members who 

will serve as Regular Government 

Employees (RGEs) or as Representative 

members. The FRRCC expects to meet 

approximately two (2) times a year, or 

as needed and approved by the 

Designated Federal Officer (DFO). 

Meetings will be held in Washington, 

DC, and the EPA regions. The FRRCC 

will be examined annually and will 

exist until the EPA determines that the 

FRRCC is no longer needed. The charter 

will be in effect for two years from the 

date it is filed with Congress. After the 

initial two-year period, the charter may 

be renewed as authorized in accordance 

with section 14 of FACA (5 U.S.C. App. 

2 section 14). 

Membership: Nominations for 

membership on the FRRCC were 

solicited from the public through the 

Federal Register and from other 

sources. In selecting members, EPA will 

consider candidates from farm groups, 

conservation and environmental groups, 

agricultural processors and retailers, 

academia, citizen’s groups, and state, 

local, and tribal governments, will 

consider the differing perspectives and 

the collective breadth of experience 

needed to address the Agency’s charge. 

Because of the nature of the issues to be 

discussed, it is the intent of the Agency 

for the FRRCC to have a majority of 

members who are actively engaged in 

farming or ranching. USDA and other 

Federal agencies, as appropriate, will be 

invited to nominate members to serve as 

RGEs. 

Dated: January 17, 2008.

Counselor to the Administrator for 

Agricultural Policy.
