document provides notice that DoD is 

submitting an Information Collection 

Request to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) to authorize the 

members of the Internal Review Team to 

collect information about racial 

disparities in the investigative and 

military justice systems of the DoD via 

focus groups with officers, 

noncommissioned officers, and enlisted 

personnel of each of the Military 

Services who are currently serving in 

military leadership positions (or who 

have served in such positions within the 

last 365 days). DoD requests emergency 

processing and OMB authorization to 

collect the information after publication 

of this notice for a period of six months. 

DATES: Comments must be received by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Deputy Secretary of Defense directed 

the establishment of the Internal Review 

Team (IRT) on Racial Disparities in the 

Investigative and Military Justice 

Systems to identify and address the root 

causes of racial disparities in the DoD 

investigative and military justice 

systems. The review will provide 

actionable recommendations the 

Department can implement or establish 

to improve strategies, programs, 

policies, processes, and resources to 

address these disparities. The IRT 

comprises General Officers and 

members of the civilian Senior 

Executive Service who, with the support 

of subject matter experts, will focus 

their full-time efforts on this review. 

The IRT commenced its work on June 1, 

2022, and is charged to provide its 

findings and recommendation to the 

DSD not later than August 24, 2022. 

Consideration of the role of military 

leaders in the Department’s 

investigative and military justice 

process is a key component of the IRT’s 

review. As a result of this information 

collection, the IRT will have access to 

a body of qualitative information 

provided by military leaders (including 

military officers, noncommissioned 

officers, and enlisted personnel) 

regarding their personal experiences in 

addressing Service member misconduct 

and performance matters. This 

information will assist the IRT in 

identifying themes, trends, and 

vignettes that illustrate how the actions 

and decisions of military leaders affect 

whether and how a subordinate Service 

member will become involved in the 

investigative or military justice systems 

and will inform IRT recommendations 

to address the root causes of racial 

disparities in those systems.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP22–2–000] 

Gas Transmission Northwest LLC; 

Notice of Availability of the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Proposed GTN Xpress Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared a draft 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

for the GTN XPress Project (Project), 

proposed by Gas Transmission 

Northwest LLC (GTN) in the abovereferenced docket. GTN proposes to 

modify existing compressor stations in 

Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. This 

Project would increase the capacity of 

GTN’s existing natural gas transmission 

system by about 150 million standard 

cubic feet per day between Idaho and 

Oregon. According to GTN, the Project 

is necessary to serve the growing market 

demand its system is experiencing. 

The draft EIS assesses the potential 

environmental effects of modifying and 

installing new facilities at the existing 

compressor stations in accordance with 

the requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The 

FERC staff concludes that approval of 

the proposed Project, with the 

mitigation measures recommended in 

the EIS, would result in some adverse 

environmental impacts, but none that 

are considered significant. Regarding 

climate change impacts, this EIS is not 

characterizing the Project’s greenhouse 

gas emissions as significant or 

insignificant because the Commission is 

conducting a generic proceeding to 

determine whether and how the 

Commission will conduct significance 

determinations going forward.1 The EIS 

also concludes that no system or other 

alternative would meet the Project 

objectives while providing a significant 

environmental advantage over the 

Project as proposed. 

The U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency is participating as cooperating 

agency in the preparation of the EIS. A 

cooperating agency has jurisdiction by 

law or special expertise with respect to 

resources potentially affected by the 

proposal and participates in the NEPA 

analysis. 

The Commission mailed a copy of the 

Notice of Availability of the draft EIS to 

federal, state, and local government 

representatives and agencies; elected 

officials; environmental and public 

interest groups; Indian tribes; 

potentially affected landowners and 

other interested individuals and groups; 

and newspapers and libraries in the 

Project area. The draft EIS is only 

available in electronic format. It may be 

viewed and downloaded from the 

FERC’s website (www.ferc.gov), on the 

natural gas environmental documents 

page (https://www.ferc.gov/industriesdata/natural-gas/environment/ 

environmental-documents). In addition, 

the draft EIS may be accessed by using 

the eLibrary link on the FERC’s website. 

Click on the eLibrary link (https://

elibrary.ferc.gov/eLibrary/search) select 

‘‘General Search’’ and enter the docket 

number in the ‘‘Docket Number’’ field, 

excluding the last three digits (i.e. 

CP22–2). Be sure you have selected an 

appropriate date range. For assistance,

FercOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll free 

at (866) 208–3676, or for TTY, contact 

(202) 502–8659. 

The draft EIS is not a decision 

document. It presents Commission 

staff’s independent analysis of the 

environmental issues for the 

Commission to consider when 

addressing the merits of all issues in 

this proceeding. Any person wishing to 

comment on the draft EIS may do so. 

Your comments should focus on the 

draft EIS’ disclosure and discussion of
