Final rule.
This action amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for Mission Hospital McDowell, Marion, NC, by adding airspace for Mission Hospital McDowell Heliport. This action also corrects the name from McDowell Hospital to Mission Hospital McDowell. It also removes Point In Space Coordinates for McDowell Hospital and replaces them with the correct Mission Hospital McDowell coordinates. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at this airport.
Effective date 0901 UTC, April 17, 2025. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order JO 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority, as it amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Mission Hospital McDowell, Marion, NC.
The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No. FAA 2023-2255 in the
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This document amends the current version of that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11J, dated July 31, 2024, and effective September 15, 2024. FAA Order JO 7400.11J is publicly available as listed in the
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for Mission Hospital McDowell, Marion, NC, by relocating the center point of the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 6-mile radius of Mission Hospital McDowell, providing the controlled airspace required to support the new RNAV (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures for IFR operations at the heliport. Additionally, this action corrects the name from McDowell Hospital to Mission Hospital McDowell. It deletes the Point In Space Coordinates for McDowell Hospital utilizing Mission Hospital McDowell as a reference to accommodate Class E airspace requirements. Furthermore, this action removes the Rutherfordton, NC, Class E airspace area exclusion. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations in the area.
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. It, therefore: (1) is not a “significant regulatory action” under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a “significant rule” under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance with FAA
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation Administration amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows:
49 U.S.C. 106(f); 40103, 40113, 40120; E.O. 10854, 24 FR 9565, 3 CFR, 1959-1963 Comp., p.389.
That airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 6-mile radius of Mission Hospital McDowell.
Coast Guard, DHS.
Temporary interim rule; request for comments.
The Coast Guard is reinstating the temporarily modified operating schedule that governs the Florida East Coast (FEC) Railroad Bridge, across the Okeechobee Waterway (OWW), mile 7.41, at Stuart, FL. This action allows for continuity for drawbridge operations while the Coast Guard evaluates documentation received for a request to permanently change the operating regulation. This temporary interim rule will be in place until May 31, 2025.
This temporary interim rule is effective without actual notice from February 7, 2025 through 11:59 p.m. on May 31, 2025. For purposes of enforcement, this temporary interim rule will be enforced with actual notice from January 29, 2025, until February 7, 2025. Comments and related material must reach the Coast Guard on or before March 10, 2025.

If you have questions on this temporary interim rule, call, or email Ms. Jennifer Zercher, Bridge Management Specialist, Seventh Coast Guard District; telephone 571-607-5951, email
On August 7, 2024, the Coast Guard published a Temporary Interim Rule (TIR) temporarily modifying the drawbridge operation regulation for the Florida East Coast (FEC) Railroad Bridge, across the Okeechobee Waterway (OWW), mile 7.41, at Stuart, FL (89 FR 64367). This action was necessary to allow for continuity of drawbridge operations while the Coast Guard evaluates documentation received for a request to permanently change the drawbridge operation regulation. Allowing the drawbridge to return to its regular operating schedule would not meet the reasonable needs of navigation given the increase in railway traffic.
The Coast Guard originally published a temporary rule to be effective through December 31, 2024. We are now reinstating it to May 31, 2025, to provide more time to properly evaluate documentation associated with a permanent drawbridge operation regulation change request while maintaining continuity in drawbridge operations.
The Seventh Coast Guard District Commander has determined the extension of the temporary modified operating regulation is warranted as the temporary drawbridge operation regulation has provided predictable and reliable drawbridge openings.
The Coast Guard is extending this temporary interim rule without prior notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those procedures are “impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.” Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with respect to this rule because it is impracticable. The Coast Guard did not receive the marine traffic study in sufficient time to properly evaluate the data, make a reasonable decision and continue with federal rulemaking prior to the expiration of the TIR. Allowing the drawbridge to return to its regular operating schedule would not meet the reasonable needs of navigation given the increase in railway traffic. The regular operating schedule does not provide predictable and reliable drawbridge openings.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for making it effective in less than 30 days after publication in the
We are soliciting comments on this rulemaking. If the Coast Guard determines that changes to the temporary interim rule are necessary, we will publish a temporary final rule or other appropriate document.
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C. 499. The FEC Railroad Bridge across the OWW, mile 7.41, at Stuart, FL, is a single-leaf bascule bridge with a six-foot vertical clearance at mean high water in the closed position. The normal operating schedule for the bridge is found in 33 CFR 117.317(c).
The regular drawbridge regulation, 33 CFR 117.317(c), states that the draw is normally in the fully open position . . . when a train approaches the bridge . . . the draw lowers and locks . . . and remains down for a period of eight minutes or while the approach track circuit is occupied. The Coast Guard has determined that allowing the drawbridge to return to its regular operating schedule would not meet the reasonable needs of navigation given the increase in railway traffic. The regular operating schedule does not provide predictable and reliable drawbridge openings. The Coast Guard needs sufficient time to review the marine traffic study and other documentation, while providing continuity in the operation of the drawbridge.
This rule reinstates the temporary deviation to the drawbridge operation regulation for the FEC Railroad Bridge described in the temporary interim rule at 89 FR 64367 (September 23, 2024) for an additional five months until May 31, 2025. This temporary rule allows continuity in drawbridge operations providing predictable and reliable drawbridge openings. We list the temporary drawbridge schedule at the end of this rule in the regulatory text.
If a Final Rule is published before May 31, 2025, the TIR will be cancelled.
We developed this temporary interim rule after considering numerous statutes and Executive Orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses based on a number of these statutes and Executive Orders.
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits. This rule has not been designated a “significant regulatory action,” under Executive Order 12866, as amended by Executive Order 14094 (Modernizing Regulatory Review). Accordingly, it has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
This regulatory action determination is based on the fact that little, or no commercial or recreational vessel traffic will be impacted by this rule. Furthermore, the drawbridge, as of date of the publication of this rule, cannot resume its regular operating schedule as it does not meet the reasonable needs of navigation given the increase in railway traffic. The regular operating schedule does not provide predictable and reliable drawbridge openings.
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term “small entities” comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the bridge may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any vessel owner or operator.
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please contact the person listed in the
Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR (1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.
This rule calls for no new collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132, Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the National Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order 13132.
Also, this rule does not have Tribal implications under Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian Tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian Tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian Tribes.
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538) requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may result in the expenditure by a State, local, or Tribal government, in the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in such an expenditure,
We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security Management Directive 023-01, Rev.1, associated implementing instructions, and Environmental Planning Policy COMDTINST 5090.1 (series) which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f). The Coast Guard has determined that this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This rule promulgates the operating regulations or procedures for drawbridges and is categorically excluded from further review, under paragraph L49, of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1.
Neither a Record of Environmental Consideration nor a Memorandum for the Record are required for this rule.
We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking and will consider all comments and material received during the comment period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking.

For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard amends 33 CFR part 117 as follows:
33 U.S.C. 499; 33 CFR 1.05-1; Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 00170.1. Revision No. 01.3
The addition reads as follows:
(k)
(1) The drawbridge will be maintained in the fully open-tonavigation position, except during periods when it is closed for the passage of train traffic, to conduct inspections, and to perform maintenance and repairs authorized by the Coast Guard.
(2) The drawbridge will not be closed for more than 50 consecutive minutes in any given hour during daytime operations (6 a.m. to 8 p.m.) and for more than 7 total hours during daytime operations (6 a.m. to 8 p.m.).
(3) Notwithstanding paragraph (k)(1), the drawbridge will open and remain open to navigation for a fixed 10-minute period at the top of each hour from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
(4) From 8:01 p.m. until 5:59 a.m. daily, the drawbridge will remain in the fully open-to-navigation position, except during periods when it is closed for the passage of train traffic, to conduct inspections, and to perform maintenance and repairs authorized by the Coast Guard. The drawbridge will not be closed more than 60 consecutive minutes.
(5) If a train is in the track circuit at the start of a fixed opening period, the opening may be delayed up to, but not more than, five minutes. Once the train has cleared the circuit, the bridge must open immediately for navigation to begin the fixed opening period.
(6) The drawbridge will be tended from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., daily. The bridge tender will monitor VHF-FM channels 9 and 16 and will provide estimated times of drawbridge openings and closures, or any operational information requested. Operational information will be provided 24 hours a day by telephone at (772) 403-1005.
(7) The drawbridge owner will maintain a mobile application. The drawbridge owner will publish drawbridge opening times, and the drawbridge owner will provide timely updates to schedules, including but not limited to, impacts due to emergency circumstances, inspections, maintenance, and repairs authorized by the Coast Guard.
(8) Signs will be posted and visible to marine traffic, displaying VHF radio contact information, application information, and the telephone number for the bridge tender.
(9) A copy of the drawbridge logbook for the previous week will be provided to the Seventh Coast Guard District Bridge Manager by 4 p.m. each Monday.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-12-12, which applies to all Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 170 airplanes and Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 ECJ, -100 IGW, -200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW airplanes. AD 2020-12-12 requires repetitive detailed inspections for cracking of the engine inboard and outboard engine pylon lower link lugs, and repair if necessary. Since the FAA issued AD 2020-12-12, it was determined that certain compliance times must be reduced. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2020-12-12, with revised compliance times, as specified in an Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by March 24, 2025.
You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR 11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

The FAA issued AD 2020-12-12, Amendment 39-19921 (85 FR 41175, July 9, 2020) (AD 2020-12-12), for all Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 170-100 LR, -100 STD, -100 SE, and -100 SU airplanes; Model ERJ 170-200 LR, -200 SU, -200 STD, and -200 LL airplanes; and Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 ECJ, -100 IGW, -200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW airplanes. AD 2020-12-12 was prompted by an MCAI originated by ANAC, which is the aviation authority for Brazil. ANAC issued AD 2020-01-02, effective January 28, 2020, to correct an unsafe condition.
AD 2020-12-12 requires repetitive detailed inspections for cracking of the
Since the FAA issued AD 2020-12-12, ANAC superseded AD 2020-01-02, effective January 28, 2020, and issued ANAC AD 2020-01-02R3, effective October 17, 2024; corrected October 15, 2024 (AD 2020-01-02R3) (also referred to as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 170-100 LR, -100 SE, -100 STD, and -100 SU airplanes; and Model ERJ 170-200 LL, -200 LR, -200 STD, and -200 SU airplanes; and Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 ECJ, -100 IGW, -190 SR, -200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW airplanes. Model ERJ 190-100 SR airplanes are not certified by the FAA and are not included on the U.S. type certificate data sheet; therefore, this proposed AD does not include those airplanes in the applicability.
The MCAI states that optional terminating actions to the repetitive inspections have been included. ANAC AD 2020-01-02R2, effective July 26, 2023, stated the compliance intervals were reduced.
The FAA is proposing this AD to address cracks on the left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) sides of engine pylon inboard lower link lugs, which could cause the loss of engine pylon integrity. The loss of integrity of the engine pylon could result in engine separation from the wing affecting the airplane controllability, causing injury to persons on ground. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at
Although this proposed AD does not explicitly restate the requirements of AD 2020-12-12, this proposed AD would retain all of the requirements of AD 2020-12-12, at revised compliance times. Those requirements are referenced in ANAC AD 2020-01-02R3, which, in turn, is referenced in paragraph (g) of this proposed AD.
ANAC AD 2020-01-02R3 specifies procedures for repetitive detailed inspections, special detailed inspections, and repair, as applicable, of the LH and RH engine inboard and outboard pylon lower link lugs. ANAC AD 2020-01-02R3 also includes an optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections, which consists of revising the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate airworthiness limitations for pylon lower link fittings. This material is reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by the means identified in the
This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI referenced above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.
This proposed AD would retain all requirements of AD 2020-12-12, at revised compliance times. This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified in ANAC AD 2020-01-02R3 described previously.
This proposed AD would allow optional terminating action to revise certain operator maintenance documents to include new actions (
The FAA has revised references to the manufacturer's name specified throughout this NPRM to identify the manufacturer name as published in the most recent type certificate data sheet for the affected models.
In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the FAA proposes to incorporate ANAC AD 2020-01-02R3 by reference in the FAA final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with ANAC AD 2020-01-02R3 in its entirety through that incorporation, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD. Service information required by ANAC AD 2020-01-02R3 for compliance will be available at
The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would affect 659 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:
The FAA has received no definitive data that would enable the agency to provide cost estimates for the on-condition repair specified in this proposed AD.
For the optional terminating action, the FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or inspection
Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements. Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.
The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed regulation:
(1) Is not a “significant regulatory action” under Executive Order 12866,
(2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
(3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.
The FAA must receive comments on this airworthiness directive (AD) by March 24, 2025.
This AD replaces AD 2020-12-12, Amendment 39-19921 (85 FR 41175, July 9, 2020).
This AD applies to Embraer S.A. (Type Certificate Previously Held by Yaborã Indústria Aeronáutica S.A.; Embraer S.A.) airplanes, certificated in any category, identified in paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this AD, as identified in Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC) AD 2020-01-02R3, effective October 17, 2024; corrected October 15, 2024 (ANAC AD 2020-01-02R3).
(1) Model ERJ 170-100 LR, -100 STD, -100 SE, -100 SU, -200 LR, -200 SU, -200 STD, and -200 LL airplanes.
(2) Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 ECJ, -100 IGW, -200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW airplanes.
Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 54, Nacelles/Pylons.
This AD was prompted by reports of cracking on the left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) sides of engine pylon inboard lower link lugs, and by the determination that certain compliance times in AD 2020-12-12 must be reduced and the inboard lower link lugs must be replaced with new titanium lugs on certain airplanes. The FAA is issuing this AD to address cracks on the LH and RH sides of engine pylon inboard lower link lugs. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could cause the loss of engine pylon integrity, which could result in engine separation from the wing, loss of airplane controllability, and possible injury to persons on ground.
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Except as specified in paragraphs (h) and (i) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, ANAC AD 2020-01-02R3.
(1) Where ANAC AD 2020-01-02R3 refers to “28 January 2020, the effective date of original revision of this AD,” this AD requires using August 13, 2020 (the effective date of AD 2020-12-12).
(2) Where ANAC AD 2020-01-02R3 refers to “the effective date of the revision 1 of this AD,” this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(3) Where ANAC AD 2020-01-02R3 refers to its effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(4) Where the “Threshold” column of the tables in ANAC AD 2020-01-02R3 refer to “FC” and “FH,” for this AD, those flight cycles and flight hours are since the date of issuance of the original airworthiness certificate or the original export certificate of airworthiness, except for the compliance times that correspond to flagnote “[5]” of the table following paragraph (b)(1) of ANAC AD 2020-01-02R3 and flagnote “[3]” of the table following paragraph (b)(2) of ANAC AD 2020-01-02R3.

Take notice that on February 3, 2025, changes to the Commission's systems have been implemented to enable filers making eTariff flings to designate the lead and additional or co-applicants on a filing and to include additional names in the service list through FERC Online.
For most filings in which the lead_applicant_id and the company_id are the same, the only applicant will be the company name associated with the Company Registration ID used for both the lead_applicant_id and the company_id. All registered email addresses added in FERC Online will be added to the service list. The last active account manager email address in company registration also will be added to the service list.
When the filing company (company_id) is filing on behalf of another entity as lead applicant, the filing company can choose whether it wants to be considered an Additional or Co-Applicant. Section A describes the process to be used in FERC Online by which the filing company
1. Filers that do not want the filing company (company_id) to be considered an applicant will still be required to include
2. The last active account manager email address in company registration associated with the lead_applicant_id will be added to the service list automatically.
3. To add additional registered email addresses for the lead applicant, the filer can select the lead applicant as an “Additional Applicant” in FERC Online and add the desired email addresses for that entity.
1. Filers that want the filing company associated with the company_id to be an Additional or Co-Applicant on the filing must include more than one registered email address (in addition to the “Signer” in FERC Online).
2. The last active account manager email address in company registration associated with the lead_applicant_id will be added to the service list automatically.
3. To add additional registered email addresses for the lead applicant, the filer can select the lead applicant as an “Additional Applicant” in FERC Online and add the desired email addresses for that entity.
As the Commission systems are upgraded, the goal is to make this process more straightforward in the future. But, given our current systems, this approach will enable filers to correctly identify the applicants on a filing and include additional registered email addresses to the service list as part of the filing.
Questions on these changes should be directed to: Michael Goldenberg at
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC) regulations, 18 CFR part 380, Commission staff reviewed UP Property 2, LLC's application to surrender the exemption of the High Falls Project No. 7987 and have prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed surrender. The exemptee proposes to surrender the exemption by removing the dam down to the riverbed. The project is located on the Deep River in Moore County, North Carolina.
The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential environmental effects of the proposed surrender of the exemption, and concludes that the proposed surrender, would not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
The final EA may be viewed on the Commission's website at

The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the Eunice Reliability and Lake Charles Supply Project (Project), proposed by Texas Gas Transmission, LLC (Texas Gas) and Gulf South Pipeline Company, LLC (Gulf South), in the above-referenced docket.
The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the Project in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed project would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
The Project would consist of the following facilities:
• abandon in place four 1,100 horsepower (hp) and one 2,250 hp reciprocating compressor units and install one 8,968 HP Solar T-70 gas-fired, turbine-driven compressor unit and one 6,391 hp Solar T60 gas-fired, turbine-driven compressor unit, and appurtenances at the Eunice Compressor Station in Acadia Parish, Louisiana;
• install associated suction/discharge lines interconnecting the proposed Eunice Compressor Station facilities and the proposed tie-in facility to be installed at an existing trap site (collectively referred to as the Eunice Compressor Station and Trap Site); and
• install overpressure protection at the existing Woodlawn Junction in Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana.

Notice of information collection and request for comments.
In compliance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) is soliciting public comment on the currently approved information collections, FERC Form No. 60 (Annual Report of Centralized Service Companies), FERC-61 (Narrative Description of Service Company Functions), and FERC-555A (Preservation of Records Companies and Service Companies Subject to PUHCA).

FERC Form No. 60 is an annual reporting requirement for centralized service companies set forth in 18 CFR 366.23. The report's function is to collect financial information (including balance sheet, assets, liabilities, billing and charges for associated and non-associated companies) from centralized service companies subject to the Commission's jurisdiction. Unless the Commission exempts or grants a waiver pursuant to 18 CFR 366.3 and 366.4 to the holding company system, every centralized service company in a holding company system must prepare and file electronically with the Commission the FERC Form No. 60, pursuant to the General Instructions in the form.
FERC-61 is a filing requirement for service companies in holding company systems (including special purpose companies) that are currently exempt or granted a waiver of FERC's regulations and would not have to file FERC Form No. 60. Instead, those service companies are required to file, on an annual basis, a narrative description of the service company's functions during the prior calendar year (FERC-61). In complying, a holding company may make a single filing on behalf of all of its service company subsidiaries.
The Commission's regulations prescribe a mandated preservation of records requirement for holding companies and service companies (unless otherwise exempted by FERC). This requires them to maintain and make available to FERC, their books and records. The preservation of records requirement provides for uniform records retention by holding companies and centralized service companies subject to PUHCA 2005.
Data from FERC Form No. 60, FERC-61, and FERC-555A provide a level of transparency that: (1) helps protect ratepayers from pass-through of improper service company costs, (2) enables the Commission to review and determine cost allocations (among holding company members) for certain non-power goods and services, (3) aids the Commission in meeting its oversight and market monitoring obligations, and (4) benefits the public, both as ratepayers and investors. In addition, the Commission's audit staff uses these records during compliance audits, reviews and special analyses.
If data from FERC Form No. 60, FERC-61, and FERC-555A were not available, it would be difficult for the Commission to meet its statutory responsibilities under EPAct 1992, EPAct of 2005, and PUHCA 2005, and the Commission would have fewer of the regulatory mechanisms necessary to ensure transparency and protect ratepayers.
For the FERC-555A, the $39.53 hourly cost figure comes from the average cost (wages plus benefits) of a file clerk (Occupation Code 43-4071) as posted on the BLS website (

The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) will prepare an environmental document, that will discuss the environmental impacts of the WT-0 Compressor Station involving construction and operation of facilities by Transwestern Pipeline Company, LLC (Transwestern) in Chaves County, New Mexico. The Commission will use this environmental document in its decision-making process to determine whether the project is in the public convenience and necessity.
This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested agencies regarding the project. As part of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review process, the Commission takes into account concerns the public may have about proposals and the environmental impacts that could result from its action whenever it considers the issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. This gathering of public input is referred to as “scoping.” The main goal of the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the environmental document on the important environmental issues. Additional information about the Commission's NEPA process is described below in the
By this notice, the Commission requests public comments on the scope of issues to address in the environmental document. To ensure that your comments are timely and properly recorded, please submit your comments so that the Commission receives them in Washington, DC, on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 5th, 2025. Comments may be submitted in written form. Further details on how to submit comments are provided in the
Your comments should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts. Your input will help the Commission staff determine what issues they need to evaluate in the environmental document. Commission staff will consider all written comments during the preparation of the environmental document.
If you submitted comments on this project to the Commission before the opening of this docket on December 20, 2024, you will need to file those comments in Docket No. CP25-37-000 to ensure they are considered as part of this proceeding.
This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental mailing list for this project. State and local government representatives should notify their constituents of this proposed project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. The company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable easement agreement. You are not required to enter into an agreement. However, if the Commission approves the project, the Natural Gas Act conveys the right of eminent domain to the company. Therefore, if you and the company do not reach an easement agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation proceedings in court. In such instances, compensation would be determined by a judge in accordance with state law. The Commission does not subsequently grant, exercise, or oversee the exercise of that eminent domain authority. The courts have exclusive authority to handle eminent domain cases; the Commission has no jurisdiction over these matters.
Transwestern provided landowners with a fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled “An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?” which addresses typically asked questions, including the use of eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings. This fact sheet along with other landowner topics of interest are available for viewing on the FERC website (

Transwestern proposes to construct, own, operate, and maintain the proposed WT-0 Compressor Station Project facilities in Chaves County, New Mexico. The WT-0 Compressor Station would provide about 80,000 million British thermal units per day of new firm transportation capacity, including receipts of natural gas in Transwestern's West Texas Lateral Central Zone and deliveries on the Transwestern Panhandle Lateral.
The WT-0 Compressor Station would consist of the following facilities:
• a new compressor station including one new Solar Mars 90 natural gas turbine-driven compressor unit providing 13,220 horsepower; one natural-gas-driven micro turbine for on-site power generation; one backup generator; and associated buildings and appurtenances;
• metering facilities, including an inlet filter separator and fuel gas measurement skid;
• tie-in to Transwestern's existing 24-inch-diameter dual lateral pipeline in its existing corridor; and
• a new, permanent access driveway off Harriet Road and extending into the project site.
The general location of the project facilities is shown in appendix document.
Construction of the proposed facilities would disturb about 11.8 acres of land for the aboveground facilities and the pipeline. Following construction, Transwestern would maintain 10.1 acres for permanent operation of the project's facilities; the remaining acreage would be restored and revert to former uses. About 16.1 percent of the proposed pipeline route parallels existing pipeline, utility, or road rights-of-way.
Any environmental document issued by the Commission will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of the construction and operation of the proposed project under the relevant general resource areas:
• geology and soils;
• water resources and wetlands;
• vegetation and wildlife;
• threatened and endangered species;
• cultural resources;
• land use;
• socioeconomics;
• air quality and noise; and
• reliability and safety.
Commission staff will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the proposed project or portions of the project and make recommendations on how to lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas. Your comments will help Commission staff identify and focus on the issues that might have an effect on the human environment and potentially eliminate others from further study and discussion in the environmental document.
Following this scoping period, Commission staff will determine whether to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The EA or the EIS will present Commission staff's independent analysis of the issues. If Commission staff prepares an EA, a
With this notice, the Commission is asking agencies with jurisdiction by law and/or special expertise with respect to the environmental issues of this project to formally cooperate in the preparation of the environmental document.
In accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's implementing regulations for section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, the Commission is using this notice to initiate consultation with the New Mexico State Historic Preservation Office, and to solicit their views and those of other government agencies, interested Indian tribes, and the public on the project's potential effects on historic properties.
The environmental mailing list includes federal, state, and local government representatives and agencies; elected officials; environmental, community, and public interest groups; Native American Tribes; other interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. This list also includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission's regulations) who are potential right-of-way grantors, whose property may be used temporarily for project purposes, or who own homes within certain distances of aboveground facilities, and anyone who submits comments on the project and includes a mailing address with their comments. Commission staff will update the environmental mailing list as the analysis proceeds to ensure that Commission notices related to this environmental review are sent to all individuals, organizations, and government entities interested in and/or potentially affected by the proposed project.

Coast Guard, DHS.
Notice of availability.
The Coast Guard announces the availability of Revision 9 to Maritime Security (MARSEC) Directive 104-6, which provides guidelines for U.S. vessels operating in high-risk waters (HRW) where acts of terrorism, piracy, and armed robbery against ships are prevalent. The directive contains security-sensitive information and, therefore, cannot be made available to the general public. U.S. vessel owners and operators who have needed to take action under previous versions of MARSEC Directive 104-6, should immediately contact their local Coast Guard Captain of the Port or District Commander for a copy of Revision 9. This revision contains important updates to HRW locations and organizational responsibilities regarding addressing security risks in those waters.
MARSEC Directive 104-6 (Revision 9) has been available since January 10, 2025. MARSEC Directive 104-6 (Revision 8) is no longer valid after that date.
For information about this document call or email Commander Andrew Czarniak; U.S. Coast Guard, Office of Commercial Vessel Compliance; telephone 202-372-1236, email
Maritime Security (MARSEC) Directive 104-6 Revision 9 replaces Revision 8, previously signed on August 11, 2021. The directive provides direction to U.S. flagged vessels operating in High Risk Waters (HRW) where acts of terrorism, piracy, and armed robbery against ships are prevalent. This revision reflects the addition of provisions for the reduction of electronic vessel transmissions, an amendment to the applicability of Annex 1 to include the high risk waters of the Red Sea and Arabian Sea, and a revision to the northern limits of the high risk waters of the Red Sea.
Electronic vessel transmissions broadly include any device onboard capable of generating a radio frequency signal with or without operator intervention. Examples of electronic vessel transmissions include those from cellular and satellite phone systems, vessel-to-vessel and vessel-to-shore radio transmission equipment, Automatic Identification System, Long Range Identification and Tracking Systems, and radar.
U.S. vessel owners and operators who have needed to take action under previous versions of MARSEC Directive 104-6 should immediately contact their local Coast Guard Captain of the Port or District Commander for a copy of Revision 9, which contains important updates to the locations of HRW and to the guidelines for addressing security risks in those waters. The Coast Guard advises owners and operators that, under Revision 9, they may need to take specific actions in accordance with MARSEC Directive 104-6 before their vessel enters HRW.

An evidentiary hearing was held on December 4-5, 2023, and the CALJ issued a final initial determination (“Final ID”) on March 15, 2024, finding a violation of section 337 based on
On May 16, 2024, the Commission determined to review the Final ID in part. 89 FR 45012-15 (May 22, 2024). The Commission determined not to review the Final ID's findings with respect to claim construction, infringement, and the technical prong of the domestic industry requirement.

For remedy, the Commission has determined to issue a limited exclusion order prohibiting further importation of infringing products by the three remaining respondents and a cease and desist order against Respondent Summit. The Commission has determined that the public interest factors do not counsel against issuing remedial orders. The Commission has determined that bond should be set in the amount of zero percent (0%) (
The Commission vote for this determination took place on February 3, 2025.
This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in Part 210 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part 210).
By order of the Commission.
On February 23, 2024, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA or Government) issued an Order to Show Cause (OSC) to Massoud Amini, M.D., of Woodland Hills, California. (Registrant). Request for Final Agency Action (RFAA), Exhibit (RFAAX) 1, at 1, 3. The OSC proposed the revocation of Registrant's DEA Certificate of Registration No. BA6612142, alleging that Registrant's registration should be revoked because Registrant is “currently without authority to handle controlled substances in California, the state in which [he is] registered with DEA.”
The OSC notified Registrant of his right to file with DEA a written request for hearing, and that if he failed to file such a request, he would be deemed to have waived his right to a hearing and be in default.
The DI made several other attempts to serve Registrant with the OSC, but they were unsucessful. On February 27, 2024, the DI attempted personal service at Registrant's last known forwarding address. RFAAX 2, at 2. The DI left a copy of the OSC at the address and asked the current residents to give the documents to Registrant.
In sum, the Agency finds that Registrant was successfully served the OSC by email and the DI's efforts to serve Registrant by other means were “ `reasonably calculated, under all the circumstances, to apprise [Registrant] of the pendency of the action.' ”
Further, “[i]n the event that a registrant . . . is deemed to be in default . . . DEA may then file a request for final agency action with the Administrator, along with a record to support its request. In such circumstances, the Administrator may enter a default final order pursuant to [21 CFR] § 1316.67.”
The Agency finds that, in light of Registrant's default, the factual allegations in the OSC are admitted. According to the OSC, effective January 12, 2024, the Medical Board of California revoked Registrant's California medical license. RFAAX 1, at 2. According to California's online records, of which the Agency takes official notice, Registrant's California medical license remains revoked.
Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 824(a)(3), the Attorney General is authorized to suspend or revoke a registration issued under 21 U.S.C. 823 “upon a finding that the registrant . . . has had his State license or registration suspended . . . [or] revoked . . . by competent State authority and is no longer authorized by State law to engage in the . . . dispensing of controlled substances.” With respect to a practitioner, DEA has also long held that the possession of authority to dispense controlled substances under the laws of the state in which a practitioner engages in professional practice is a fundamental condition for obtaining and maintaining a practitioner's registration.
According to California statute, “dispense” means “to deliver a controlled substance to an ultimate user or research subject by or pursuant to the lawful order of a practitioner, including the prescribing, furnishing, packaging, labeling, or compounding necessary to prepare the substance for that delivery.” Cal. Health & Safety Code section 11010 (West 2024). Furthermore, a “practitioner” means a person “licensed, registered, or otherwise permitted, to distribute, dispense, conduct research with respect to, or administer, a controlled substance in the course of professional practice or research in [the] state.”
Here, the undisputed evidence in the record is that Registrant currently lacks authority to practice medicine in California. As discussed above, a physician must be a licensed practitioner to dispense a controlled substance in California. Thus, because Registrant currently lacks authority to practice medicine in California and, therefore, is not currently authorized to handle controlled substances in California, Registrant is not eligible to maintain a DEA registration. Accordingly, the Agency will order that Registrant's DEA registration be revoked.
Pursuant to 28 CFR 0.100(b) and the authority vested in me by 21 U.S.C. 824(a), I hereby revoke DEA Certificate of Registration No. BA6612142 issued to Massoud Amini, M.D. Further, pursuant to 28 CFR 0.100(b) and the authority vested in me by 21 U.S.C. 823(g)(1), I hereby deny any pending applications of Massoud Amini, M.D., to renew or modify this registration, as well as any other pending application of Massoud Amini, M.D., for additional registration in California. This Order is effective March 10, 2025.
This document of the Drug Enforcement Administration was signed on January 31, 2025, by Acting Administrator Derek Maltz. That document with the original signature and date is maintained by DEA. For administrative purposes only, and in compliance with requirements of the Office of the Federal Register, the undersigned DEA Federal Register Liaison Officer has been authorized to sign and submit the document in electronic format for publication, as an official document of DEA. This administrative process in no way alters the legal effect of this document upon publication in the
On May 21, 2024, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA or Government) issued an Order to Show Cause (OSC) to Herold Pierre-Louis, P.A., of Tucson, Arizona (Respondent). OSC, at 1, 3. The OSC proposed the revocation of Respondent's DEA Certificate of Registration No. MP7845766, alleging that Respondent's DEA registration should be revoked because Respondent is “without authority to prescribe, administer, dispense, or otherwise handle controlled substances in the State of Arizona, the state in which [he is] registered with DEA.”
On May 30, 2024, Respondent requested a hearing and filed an Answer to the OSC. On June 10, 2024, the Government filed a Motion for Summary Disposition, to which Respondent did not respond.
Having reviewed the entire record, the Agency adopts and hereby incorporates by reference the entirety of the ALJ's rulings, findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommended sanction as found in the RD and summarizes and expands upon portions thereof herein.
On or about November 29, 2023, the Arizona Regulatory Board of Physician Assistants revoked Respondent's Arizona physician assistant license. RD, at 3.
Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 824(a)(3), the Attorney General is authorized to suspend or revoke a registration issued under section 823 of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) “upon a finding that the registrant . . . has had his State license or registration suspended . . . [or] revoked . . . by competent State authority and is no longer authorized by State law to engage in the . . . dispensing of controlled substances.” With respect to a practitioner, DEA has also long held that the possession of authority to dispense controlled substances under the laws of the state in which a practitioner engages in professional practice is a fundamental condition for obtaining and maintaining a practitioner's registration.
According to Arizona statute, “[e]very person who manufactures, distributes, dispenses, prescribes or uses for scientific purposes any controlled substance within th[e] state or who proposes to engage in the manufacture, distribution, prescribing or dispensing of or using for scientific purposes any controlled substance within th[e] state must first: (1) [o]btain and possess a current license or permit as a medical practitioner as defined in § 32-1901 . . . .” Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. section 36-2522(A)(1) (2024). Section 32-1901 defines a “[m]edical practitioner” as “any medical doctor . . . or other person who is licensed and authorized by law to use and prescribe drugs and devices to treat sick and injured human beings or animals or to diagnose or prevent sickness in human beings or animals in [Arizona] or any state, territory or district of the United States.”
Here, the undisputed evidence in the record is that Respondent lacks authority to practice as a physician assistant in Arizona. As discussed above, only a licensed medical practitioner can dispense controlled substances in Arizona. Thus, because Respondent lacks authority to practice as a physician assistant in Arizona, and therefore is not a licensed medical practitioner, Respondent is not eligible to maintain a DEA registration. Accordingly, the Agency will order that Respondent's DEA registration be revoked.
Pursuant to 28 CFR 0.100(b) and the authority vested in me by 21 U.S.C. 824(a), I hereby revoke DEA Certificate of Registration No. MP7845766 issued to Herold Pierre-Louis, P.A. Further,

On May 24, 2023, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA or Government) issued an Order to Show Cause (OSC) to James T. Craig, D.D.S., of Aurora, Colorado (Registrant). Request for Final Agency Action (RFAA), Exhibit (RFAAX) 2, at 1, 3. The OSC proposed the revocation of Registrant's Certificate of Registration No. FC0032348, alleging that Registrant's registration should be revoked because Registrant is “currently without authority to prescribe, administer, dispense, or otherwise handle controlled substances in Colorado, the state in which [he is] registered with DEA.”
The OSC notified Registrant of his right to file a written request for hearing, and that if he failed to file such a request, he would be deemed to have waived his right to a hearing and be in default.
Further, “[i]n the event that a registrant . . . is deemed to be in default . . . DEA may then file a request for final agency action with the Administrator, along with a record to support its request. In such circumstances, the Administrator may enter a default final order pursuant to [21 CFR] § 1316.67.”
The Agency finds that, in light of Registrant's default, the factual allegations in the OSC are admitted. According to the OSC, on March 23, 2023, Registrant's Colorado dental license was suspended. RFAAX 2, at 1-2. According to Colorado online records, of which the Agency takes official notice, Registrant's Colorado dentist license is revoked.
Accordingly, the Agency finds that Registrant is not licensed to practice as a dentist in Colorado, the state in which he is registered with DEA.
Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 824(a)(3), the Attorney General is authorized to suspend or revoke a registration issued under 21 U.S.C. 823 “upon a finding that the registrant . . . has had his State license or registration suspended . . . [or] revoked . . . by competent State authority and is no longer authorized by State law to engage in the . . . dispensing of controlled substances.” With respect to a practitioner, DEA has also long held that the possession of authority to dispense controlled substances under the laws of the state in which a practitioner engages in professional practice is a fundamental condition for obtaining and maintaining a practitioner's registration.
According to Colorado statute, “dispense” means “to deliver a controlled substance to an ultimate user,
Here, the undisputed evidence in the record is that Registrant lacks authority to practice as a dentist in Colorado. As discussed above an individual must be a licensed practitioner to dispense a controlled substance in Colorado. Thus, because Registrant lacks authority to practice as a dentist in Colorado and, therefore, is not authorized to handle controlled substances in Colorado, Registrant is not eligible to maintain a DEA registration. Accordingly, the Agency will order that Registrant's DEA registration be revoked.
Pursuant to 28 CFR 0.100(b) and the authority vested in me by 21 U.S.C. 824(a), I hereby revoke DEA Certificate of Registration No. FC0032348, issued to James T. Craig, D.D.S. Further, pursuant to 28 CFR 0.100(b) and the authority vested in me by 21 U.S.C. 823(g)(1), I hereby deny any pending applications of James T. Craig, D.D.S., to renew or modify this registration, as well as any other pending application of James T. Craig, D.D.S., for additional registration in Colorado. This Order is effective March 10, 2025.

Notice; issuance.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has published a final site-specific environmental impact statement (EIS), issued as NUREG-1437, Supplement 2, Second Renewal, “Site-Specific Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants Regarding Subsequent License Renewal for Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, and 3, Final Report.” This EIS evaluates, on a site-specific basis, the environmental impacts of subsequent renewal of Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-38, DPR-47, and DPR-55 for an additional 20 years of operation for Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, and 3 (Oconee Station), respectively. Oconee Station is located in Seneca, South Carolina, approximately 30 miles west of Greenville. Possible alternatives to the proposed action of subsequent license renewal for Oconee Station include the no-action alternative, a new nuclear alternative, a natural gas combined-cycle alternative, and a combination alternative.
NUREG-1437, Supplement 2, Second Renewal, is available as of February 3, 2025.

In accordance with section 51.118 of title 10 of the
As discussed in Chapter 4 of NUREG-1437, Supplement 2, Second Renewal, the NRC staff's recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of subsequent license renewal for Oconee Station for an additional 20 years beyond the expiration dates of the initial renewed licenses are not so great that preserving the option of subsequent license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable. This recommendation is based on: (1) Duke Energy's environmental report, as supplemented; (2) the NRC staff's consultations with Federal, State, Tribal, and local government agencies; (3) the NRC staff's independent environmental review, which is documented in NUREG-1437, Supplement 2, Second Renewal; and (4) the NRC staff's consideration of public comments.
