DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP16–474–000] 

High Point Gas Transmission, LLC; 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review of the Venice to Toca Pipeline 

Abandonment Project 

On July 1, 2016, High Point Gas 

Transmission, LLC (High Point) filed an 

application in Docket No. CP16–474– 

000 requesting a Certificate of Public 

Convenience and Necessity pursuant to 

section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act to 

abandon certain natural gas pipeline 

facilities. The proposed project is 

known as the Venice to Toca Pipeline 

Abandonment Project (Project). High 

Point proposes to abandon by sale to 

Cayenne Pipeline, LLC about 61.3 miles 

of pipeline facilities in Plaquemines and 

St. Bernard Parishes, Louisiana. 

On July 14, 2016, the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission or 

FERC) issued its Notice of Application 

for the Project. Among other things, that 

notice alerted agencies issuing federal 

authorizations of the requirement to 

complete all necessary reviews and to 

reach a final decision on a request for 

a federal authorization within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s Environmental Assessment (EA) 

for the Project. This instant notice 

identifies the FERC staff’s planned 

schedule for the completion of the EA 

for the Project. 

Schedule for Environmental Review 

Issuance of EA: February 3, 2017 

90-day Federal Authorization Decision 

Deadline: May 4, 2017 

If a schedule change becomes 

necessary, additional notice will be 

provided so that the relevant agencies 

are kept informed of the Project’s 

progress. 

Project Description 

High Point would abandon by sale 

nine segments (totaling 61.3 miles) of 

12- to 22-inch-diameter natural gas 

pipeline on its Venice to Toca 

Transmission Pipeline. To continue use 

of the remainder of High Point’s system 

and isolate it from the abandoned 

pipeline that Cayenne Pipeline, LLC 

plans to use for natural gas liquids, High 

Point would cut and cap the pipeline at 

nine locations and remove one meter. 

All of the abandonment activities, 

except for disconnecting cross-over and 

tie-in piping at the Venice, Toca, and 

Venice Gas Processing Plants and the 

use of three existing access roads, would 

occur within High Point’s existing 

permanent right-of-way. Most of the 

work would take place on existing 

platforms. The abandonment would also 

include modifications of 15 associated 

aboveground valves to isolate the line to 

be abandoned from the rest of High 

Point’s pipeline system. 

Additional Information 

In order to receive notification of the 

issuance of the EA and to keep track of 

all formal issuances and submittals in 

specific dockets, the Commission offers 

a free service called eSubscription. This 

can reduce the amount of time you 

spend researching proceedings by 

automatically providing you with 

notification of these filings, document 

summaries, and direct links to the 

documents. Go to www.ferc.gov/docsfiling/esubscription.asp. 

Additional information about the 

Project is available from the 

Commission’s Office of External Affairs

human subjects; and (3) how to 

strengthen EPA’s programs for 

protection of human subjects of 

research.

ACTION: Notice of decision. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is granting the California 

Air Resources Board’s (‘‘CARB’s’’) 

request for a waiver of Clean Air Act 

preemption for its greenhouse gas 

(‘‘GHG’’) emission regulation for the

engines and vehicles (‘‘California Phase 

1 GHG Regulation’’) adopted in 2011. 

This regulation establishes requirements 

applicable to new motor vehicles with 

a gross vehicle weight rating exceeding 

8,500 pounds and engines that power 

such motor vehicles, except for 

medium-duty passenger vehicles that 

are subject to California’s Low Emission 

Vehicle Program. This regulation 

generally aligns California’s GHG 

emission standards and test procedures 

with the federal GHG emission 

standards and test procedures that EPA
