**AGENCY :**  Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy (DOE).

**ACTION :**  Notice of public workshop.

**SUMMARY :**  This notice announces a public workshop for interested parties
to learn about recent results from DOE’s materials-based hydrogen storage system modeling efforts. In addition, DOE intends to gather input from workshop participants to identify hydrogen storage material development pathways and potential future areas of research. This input will be used to help guide future activities for the DOE Hydrogen Storage Program.

**DATES :**  The workshop will be held Tuesday, January 27, 2015 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Wednesday, January 28, 2015 from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Registration and a $75 fee is required; Web site address to registration is provided below.

**ADDRESSES :**  National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Research Support Facility, 15013 Denver West Parkway Golden, CO 80401, Attn: Matt Thornton ( matthew.thornton@nrel.gov ).

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Questions may be directed to—Ned Stetson, Ph.D., DOE Hydrogen Storage Program Manager at 202–586–9995 or by email at ned.stetson@ee.doe.gov.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in conjunction with the DOE Fuel Cell Technologies Office’s Hydrogen Storage Program ( http:// energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2014/11/f19/ fcto

Recent analysis efforts, including results from the Hydrogen Storage Engineering Center of Excellence,
identified the material-level characteristics required to meet the DOE system-level performance targets. These results show that although the DOE has invested extensively in hydrogen storage materials development, no material has been identified that, when incorporated into a complete system, can meet the challenging DOE performance targets.

Fuel cell electric vehicles are being introduced commercially today. Therefore, if materials-based storage technologies are to be employed on consumer vehicles in the future, it is imperative that the development of hydrogen storage materials be
accelerated and efforts focused on pathways with the highest probability of success. Through an understanding of
the material characteristics needed to meet system performance targets, it is expected that material development strategies can be optimized to meet the DOE hydrogen storage targets.

In summary, this workshop will serve two main objectives:

(1) Disseminate recent results from DOE Hydrogen Storage system modeling efforts and discuss their implications on hydrogen storage materials development
efforts.

(2) Gather input from meeting participants to identify hydrogen storage materials development pathways and potential future areas of research which will lead to the highest probability of success. This input will be used to help guide future activities for the DOE Hydrogen Storage Program.

**Sabal Trail Transmission, LLC; Notice of Application** 

Take notice that on November 21, 2014, Sabal Trail Transmission, LLC (Sabal Trail), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, TX 77056, filed an application under section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, requesting authorization to construct, own, and operate a new 500- mile natural gas pipeline system (Sabal Trail Project), including 209,900 horsepower at five compressor stations, metering and regulating stations, and appurtenant facilities in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. Sabal Trail also requests a certificate of public convenience and necessity to acquire by lease from Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC (Transco) the incremental firm capacity that will be created by Transco’s proposed Hillabee Expansion Project (Docket No. CP15– 16–000). Sabal Trail also requests a blanket certificate pursuant to Part 157, Subpart F of the Commission’s regulations, authorizing Sabal Trail to construct, operate, acquire and abandon
certain facilities as described in Part 157, Subpart F, and a blanket certificate pursuant to Part 284, Subpart G of the Commission’s regulations, authorizing Sabal Trail to provide open-access firm and interruptible interstate natural gastransportation services on a selfimplementing basis with pre-granted abandonment for such services, all as more fully set forth in the application
which is on file with the Commission and open for public inspection. The filing may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in
the docket number field to access the document. For assistance, please contact

FERC at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll free at (866) 208–3676, or TTY, (202) 502–8659.

Any questions regarding the proposed project should be directed to Lisa A. Connally, General Manager, Rates and Certificates, Sabal Trail Transmission, LLC, P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251–1642, or by calling (713) 627– 4102 (telephone) or email at laconnolly@spectraenergy.com.

On October 16, 2013, the Commission staff granted Sabal Trail’s request to
utilize the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Pre-Filing Process and assigned Docket No. PF14–1–000 to staff activities involving the project. Now, as of the filing of this applicationon November 21, 2014, the NEPA PreFiling Process for this project has ended. From this time forward, this proceeding
will be conducted in Docket No. CP15– 17–000, as noted in the caption of this

Notice.

Because the environmental review of the Sabal Trail Project must also include both the Hillabee Expansion Project and
