Pipeline Posting Requirements Under 

Section 23 of the Natural Gas Act; 

Notice of Agenda for Technical 

Conference 

March 11, 2009. 

On February 24, 2009, the 

Commission issued a Notice of 

Technical Conference (February 24 

Notice), to be held March 18, 2009, in 

the above referenced proceeding. The 

technical conference is being held by 

staff for the purpose of discussing 

certain issues raised in the requests for 

rehearing filed in response to Order No. 

720.1 As stated in the February 24 

Notice, the technical conference will be 

held at the headquarters of the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street, NE., Washington, DC, from 

9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (EDT). 

Attached is an agenda for the March 

18, 2009, technical conference. The 

February 24 Notice identified three 

topics for discussion: (1) The definition 

of major non-interstate pipelines; (2) 

what constitutes ‘‘scheduling’’ for a 

receipt or delivery point; and, (3) how 

the 15,000 MMBtu per day design 

capacity threshold should be applied. 

As reflected in the attached agenda, 

Panel 1 will address the first topic, with 

a focus on contiguous and noncontiguous networks, stub lines and 

other gathering issues; Panel 2 will 

address the second and third topics, 

with a focus on how pipeline systems 

account for high capacity receipt and 

delivery points (i.e., greater than 15,000 

MMBtu per day) where scheduling does 

not occur; and, Panel 3 will focus on 

estimating the cost of compliance with 

Order No. 720. 

This conference will be transcribed. 

There is no registration required to 

attend and no registration fee. For 

additional information, please contact 

Saida Shaalan of FERC’s Office of 

Enforcement at (202) 502–8278 or by email at Saida.Shaalan@ferc.gov.

Commission Meeting Room 

9–9:10 a.m.—Opening Remarks 

9:10–9:50 a.m.—Defining Major NonInterstate Pipelines 

Assessing contiguous and noncontiguous networks 

—What constitutes a contiguous 

pipeline system for the purpose of 

applying the annual 50 million 

MMBtu delivery threshold? 

—What are the market differences 

between non-contiguous pipeline 

systems with the same owner and a 

single pipeline system? 

Stub lines and other gathering issues 

—What role do stub lines play in the 

market? How are they operated? 

—What gathering functions do not occur 

upstream of a processing plant? How 

widespread are those activities (e.g., 

volumes)? 

Panelists: 

Representative from TPA 

Representative from Southwest Gas 

Representative from AGA 

9:50 a.m.–12 p.m.—Accounting for High 

Capacity Receipt and Delivery 

Points (i.e., Greater than 15,000 

MMBtu Per Day) Where Scheduling 

Does Not Occur 

Is there some rule of thumb to identify 

points at which advance notice of 

receipts/deliveries is required for 

operational purposes? 

How do companies without 

scheduling information address the 

risk of demand volatility from large 

scale consumers receiving 

unbundled service? 

How do pipelines reconcile 

nominations with actual flows at 

pooled points?

Representative from TPA

of Compliance 

What is the basis for cost estimates in 

the rehearing requests? 

Are there alternative approaches that

[FRL–8778–4] 

Adequacy of Virginia’s Municipal Solid 

Waste Landfill Program 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of Determination of 

Adequacy. 

SUMMARY: On March 22, 2004, the U.S. 

EPA issued final regulations allowing 

research, development, and 

demonstration (RD&D) permits to be 

issued to certain municipal solid waste 

landfills (MSWLF) by approved states. 

On September 19, 2008 Virginia 

submitted an application to U.S. EPA 

Region 3 seeking approval of its RD&D 

requirements. Virginia’s RD&D 

requirements allow Virginia to issue 

research, development and 

demonstration (RD&D) permits to 

owners and operators of MSWLF units 

in accordance with state law. Subject to 

public review and comment, this notice 

approves Virginia’s RD&D permit 

requirements. 

DATES: This determination of RD&D 

program adequacy for Virginia will 

become effective May 18, 2009 unless 

adverse comments are received on or 

before May 18, 2009. If adverse 

comments are received, the U.S. EPA 

will review those comments and 

publish another FR document 

responding to those comments and 

either affirming or revising the U.S. 

EPA’s initial decision. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be sent to Mike Giuranna, Land and 

Chemicals Division, Office of Materials 

Management (Mail Code 3LC40), U.S. 

EPA Region 3, 1650 Arch Street,

telephone: (215) 814–3298. Comments 

may also be submitted electronically to

regulations during normal business 

hours at U.S. EPA Region 3.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

On March 22, 2004, EPA issued a 

final rule amending the municipal solid 

waste landfill criteria in 40 CFR part 

258 to allow for the issuance of 

research, development and 

demonstration (RD&D) permits (69 FR 

13242). This rule allows for variances 

from specified criteria for a limited 

period of time, to be implemented 

through state-issued RD&D permits. 

RD&D permits are available only in 

states with EPA approved MSWLF 

permit programs that have been 

modified to incorporate RD&D permit 

authority. While states are not required 

to seek approval for this new provision, 

those states that are interested in issuing 

RD&D permits to owners and operators 

of MSWLFs must seek approval from 

EPA before issuing such permits. 

Approval procedures for new provisions 

of 40 CFR Part 258 are outlined in 40 

CFR 239.12. 

Virginia’s MSWLF permit program 

was approved by EPA on February 3, 

1993 (58 FR 6955), March 31, 1994 (59 

FR 15201) and October 7, 2003 (68 FR 

57824). On September 19, 2008, Virginia 

applied for approval of its RD&D permit 

provisions which are included in the 

Virginia Administrative Code at 9 VAC 

20–80–485D. 

B. Decision 

After a thorough review, U.S. EPA 

Region 3 determined that Virginia’s 

RD&D permit provisions at 9 VAC 20– 

80–485D are adequate to ensure 

compliance with the Federal criteria 

promulgated at 40 CFR 258.4. 

Authority: This action is issued under the 

authority of section 2002, 4005 and 4010(c) 

of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended, 

42 U.S.C. 6912, 6945 and 6949a. 

Dated: January 28, 2009.
