ACTION: Notice; reopening of comment 

period. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (USACE) Safety and Health 

Requirements Manual (EM 385–1–1) is 

the gold standard for Safety and 

Occupational Health regulations. The 

manual holds a long history dating back 

to 1941 and is designed to facilitate the 

standardization of all safety programs. 

The EM 385–1–1 prescribes the safety 

and health requirements for all Corps of 

Engineers activities and operations. The 

USACE is soliciting comments on the 

proposed revisions to EM 385–1–1. 

USACE intends to update the manual 

and periodically thereafter, to reflect 

such public input, experience, and 

innovation. The agency will address 

significant comments received in the 

next revision of this manual. 

DATES: Consideration will be given to all 

comments received by August 8, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 4784–106] 

Topsham Hydro Partners Limited 

Partnership (L.P.); Notice of 

Availability of Draft Environmental 

Assessment 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission’s (Commission) 

regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office 

of Energy Projects has reviewed the 

application for license for the Pejepscot 

Hydroelectric Project, located on the 

Androscoggin River in Sagadahoc, 

Cumberland, and Androscoggin 

Counties in the village of Pejepscot and 

the town of Topsham, Maine and has 

prepared a Draft Environmental 

Assessment (DEA) for the project. No 

federal land is occupied by project 

works or located within the project 

boundary. 

The DEA contains staff’s analysis of 

the potential environmental impacts of 

the project and concludes that licensing 

the project, with appropriate 

environmental protective measures, 

would not constitute a major federal 

action that would significantly affect the 

quality of the human environment. 

The Commission provides all 

interested persons with an opportunity 

to view and/or print the EA via the 

internet through the Commission’s 

Home Page (http://www.ferc.gov/), using
