Environmental Assessment (EA) for 

public review and comment. The EA 

was prepared pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA), as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et 

seq., the Council on Environmental 

Quality NEPA implementing 

regulations, 40 CFR parts 1500–1508, 

and the FRA NEPA procedures, 64 FR 

28545 (May 26, 1999). FRA is the lead 

Federal agency and the New York State 

Urban Development Corporation d/b/a 

the Empire State Development 

Corporation (ESDC) is the lead State 

agency. 

ESDC, its subsidiary Moynihan 

Station Development Corporation 

(MSDC), and the Port Authority of New 

York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) have 

proposed to redevelop the James A. 

Farley Building and its Western Annex 

into a new intermodal transportation 

facility, to be called the Daniel Patrick 

Moynihan Station (Moynihan Station). 

Moynihan Station would be one 

component of the Project that would 

also include the commercial 

redevelopment of the Western Annex 

and the construction of a 1.1 million 

square foot mixed-use building fronting 

on the east side of Eight Avenue 

between West 33rd and West 34th 

Streets utilizing development rights 

associated with the Farley Complex. 

DATES: FRA invites interested Members 

of Congress, state and local 

governments, other Federal agencies, 

Native American tribal governments, 

organizations, and members of the 

public to provide comments on the EA, 

which is available at http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Description of Project. The 

approximately 1.3 million square foot 

Farley Complex occupies a ‘‘superblock’’ 

from West 31st to West 33rd Streets and 

from Eighth Avenue to Ninth Avenue. 

Built over the Pennsylvania Station 

(Penn Station) rail facilities, including 

the westernmost portion of most of the 

passenger platforms and other rail yard 

facilities, the Farley Complex is 

integrated into the larger Penn Station 

Complex. 

Penn Station is the busiest 

transportation facility in the United 

States, accommodating over 530,000 

daily passengers, including intercity 

passengers riding Amtrak, local 

commuter rail passengers, and subway 

riders. It is, however, plagued with 

design problems. As a result, it is 

difficult to navigate and has passenger 

facilities that do not meet current 

industry standards related to safe egress 

times and universal accessibility. The 

station, already operating above its 

design capacity, is projected to 

experience a growing passenger load as 

development continues in the 

surrounding neighborhoods. 

To address the larger issue of 

inadequate capacity at Penn Station, 

ESDC, MSDC and FRA have proposed a 

program of improvements at the Farley 

Building that will relocate Amtrak’s 

intercity passenger rail operations to a 

new Moynihan Station to be constructed 

within the eastern portion of the Farley 

Building. This work will significantly 

improve access to, and egress from, the 

platforms and the connections between 

Penn Station, the Farley Building, and 

the existing New York City subway 

lines. 

The project as currently envisioned 

will take place in two phases. Phase 1 

work, which is primarily below street 

level, will consist of expanding and 

extending the existing West End 

Concourse so that it spans all existing 

tracks (with new access to Eighth 

Avenue), expanding the existing 33rd 

Street Connector, adding several 

platform ventilation elements, and 

adding several entrances to the new 

Moynihan Station. Phase 2 will consist 

of development of the Station itself, 

including the Train Hall, concourse and 

street-level portions of the Station, 

reactivation of currently-unused 

Platform 12 for passenger use, and the 

non-Station commercial development of 

the Farley Complex. 

II. Previous Environmental Reviews. 

The development of plans for improved 

New York City passenger facilities has 

been underway since as early as 1991 

when Amtrak began planning for a new 

intermodal transportation facility. The 

potential availability of the Farley 

Complex led to additional efforts to 

devise plans that incorporated 

passenger rail facilities in the Farley 

Complex. A series of environmental 

reviews have accompanied the various 

proposals for improvements to the Penn 

Station facilities and site, including 

most recently the final Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) that was issued 

by ESDC under SEQRA in August 2006. 

That EIS evaluated the impacts of a 

larger project that included relocating 

Madison Square Garden to the Farley 

Building and renovating Penn Station 

itself. Those elements have 

subsequently been dropped and this EA 

addresses the Project as currently 

defined.

Pipeline Safety: Implementation of 

Electronic Filing for Recently Revised 

Incident/Accident Report Forms for 

Distribution Systems, Gas 

Transmission and Gathering Systems, 

and Hazardous Liquid Systems 

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous 

Materials Safety Administration 

(PHMSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice; Issuance of Advisory 

Bulletin. 

SUMMARY: This notice advises owners 

and operators of gas pipeline facilities 

and hazardous liquid pipeline facilities 

that the new incident/accident report 

forms for their pipeline systems are now 

available for electronic filing. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jamerson Pender, Information Resources 

Manager, 202–366–0218 or by e-mail at 

Jamerson.Pender@dot.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 3, 2010 (75 FR 5460), 

PHMSA published Advisory Bulletin 

ADB–10–01 in the Federal Register to 

notify operators of gas and hazardous 

liquid pipeline facilities of newly 

revised incident/accident report forms 

and instructions. In ADB–10–01, 

PHMSA announced that the revised 

forms are to be used for all incidents/ 

accidents occurring on or after January 

1, 2010. PHMSA further noted that hard 

copy filing was required until PHMSA 

launched a new online system which 

was targeted for early March 2010. The 

new online system became available on 

March 8, 2010, and is available at the 

following URL: http:// 

pipelineonlinereporting.phmsa.dot.gov/. 

Advisory Bulletin (ADB–10–04) 

To: Owners and Operators of Gas 

Pipeline Facilities and Hazardous 

Liquid Pipeline Facilities. 

Subject: Implementation of Electronic 

Filing for Recently Revised Incident/ 

Accident Report Forms for Gas 

Distribution Systems, Gas Transmission 

and Gathering Systems, and Hazardous 

Liquid Systems. 

Advisory: This notice advises owners 

and operators of gas pipeline facilities 

and hazardous liquid pipeline facilities 

that the new electronic incident/ 

accident reporting system is available 

online at the following URL: http:// 

pipelineonlinereporting.phmsa.dot.gov/. 

The new online system can also be 

accessed through the old system at the 

following URL: http:// 

opsweb.phmsa.dot.gov and click on 

‘‘Incidents on or after Jan 1, 2010’’ for the 

respective report type. Each operator 

may use their current operator ID and 

PIN from the old system to access the 

new system. The new online system is 

for incidents/accidents occurring on or 

after January 1, 2010. The old online 

system is still available for filing 

supplemental reports for incidents/ 

accidents that occurred prior to January 

1, 2010, and is still the system for filing 

annual reports and Gas Integrity 

Management Program (IMP) reports. 

Incidents and accidents that were 

previously filed in hard copy are being 

entered by PHMSA staff and should not 

be reentered by the operator into the 

system. Operators that have already 

submitted a hard copy 2010 incident 

report as previously instructed in ADB– 

10–01 should not re-submit that report 

using the online system. Where data 

quality checks are indicated for the hard 

copy filed reports, PHMSA will contact 

operators as needed to facilitate 

complete data entry for the initial 

submissions. Once all reports received 

in hard copy have been entered by 

PHMSA, operators will be able to 

submit supplemental reports online if 

needed. In addition, PHMSA is aligning 

the hard copy forms with the new 

online system by replacing the double 

asterisks with the single asterisks for 

those data fields deemed required for an 

initial submission to PHMSA. 

PHMSA notes that for hazardous 

liquid small releases (identified as the 

areas shaded in gray on the hard copy 

version of the hazardous liquid accident 

form), the new online system will 

accept reporting and does the required 

logic checks for small releases (those 

under five barrels that do not involve a 

fatality, injury, property damage of 

$50,000 or more, as described in 49 CFR 

195.50). However, the new online 

system does not exclude or hide 

questions that are not applicable to 

small releases. Therefore, PHMSA 

recommends that operators who report 

such events follow the shaded sections 

on the hard copy accident form and the 

guidance provided in the hard copy 

instructions while entering those events 

with the online system until a system 

enhancement is in place to further 

streamline the online reporting process. 

PHMSA appreciates the cooperation 

of all users of the new online system. 

For questions regarding filing, please 

contact Jamerson Pender at 202–366– 

0218 or by e-mail at 

Jamerson.Pender@dot.gov. 

Any questions regarding this new 

online system requirement can be 

directed to the Office of Pipeline Safety 

operator helpline at 202–366–8075.
