Department of Defense, the Designated
Federal Officer was unable to submit the

Advisory Committee Management
Officer for the Department of Defense
waives the 15-calendar day notification
requirement pursuant to 41 CFR 102–

This meeting is being held under the
provisions of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA) of 1972 (5

Government in the Sunshine Act of
1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended), and

terminal, with sufficient time to
complete security screening and be
admitted to the Pentagon no later than
10:00 a.m. on October 20. Note:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No.1910–5173; (2) Information
Collection Request Title: The American
Assured Fuel Supply Program; (3) Type
of Review: Extension; (4) Purpose: The
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
created the American Assured Fuel
Supply (AFS), a reserve of low enriched
uranium (LEU) to serve as a backup fuel
supply for foreign recipients to be
supplied through U.S. persons or for
domestic recipients, in the event of fuel
supply disruption. DOE is committed to
making the AFS available to eligible
recipients in the case of supply
disruptions in the nuclear fuel market.
This effort supports the United States
Government’s nuclear nonproliferation
objectives by supporting civilian
nuclear energy development while
minimizing proliferation risks. DOE
published a Notice of Availability for
AFS on August 18, 2011, and published
an application on December 2, 2013, in
the Federal Register to standardize the
information that must be provided in a
request to access the material in the AFS
as set forth in the Notice of Availability
76 FR 51357, 51358. This application
form is necessary in order for DOE to
identify if applicants meet basic
requirements for use of the AFS and
implement this important
nonproliferation initiative; (5) Annual
Estimated Number of Respondents: 10;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of Total
Responses: 10; (7) Annual Estimated
Number of Burden Hours: 8; (8) Annual
Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping
Cost Burden: $1,800.
Statutory Authority: The Secretary of
Energy is authorized pursuant to the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(Pub. L. 83–703), and the Nuclear NonProliferation Act of 1978 (NNPA) (Pub.
L. 95–242) to encourage the widespread
use of atomic energy for peaceful
purposes, and to cooperate with other
nations by distributing nuclear material
where appropriate safeguards measures
are in place to ensure the material is
properly controlled and used for
peaceful purposes. In 2005, DOE set
aside a portion of its LEU inventory to
be used to support the International
Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA)
International Nuclear Fuel Bank (INFB)
initiative, which is envisioned as an
LEU reserve that will be administered
by the IAEA and that will serve as a
back-up for global supply disruptions.
Congress later appropriated $49,540,000

in the Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2008 (Pub. L. 110–161) to fund a portion
of the INFB. Congress, in the
Explanatory Statement accompanying
the House Appropriations Committee
Print (which in the Act was given the
same effect as a joint explanatory
statement), noted that the INFB freed up
DOE’s LEU set-aside, and recommended
DOE also ‘‘allow U.S. interests to
purchase uranium fuel from the Reliable
Fuel Supply [now the AFS] in the event
of supply disruption.’’ (H. Approp.
Cmte. Print at 592.)
The sale of LEU from the AFS will be
conducted consistent with applicable
law, the policies and guidance in the
‘‘Secretary of Energy’s 2008 Policy
Statement of Management of the
Department of Energy’s Excess Uranium
Inventory’’ (March 11, 2008), and the
DOE Excess Uranium Inventory
Management Plan.
Issued in Washington, DC, on October 3,
2016.

[Docket No. CP16–496–000]

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company,
L.L.C.; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Lone Star Project and
Request For Comments On
Environmental Issues
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an
environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of
the Lone Star Project involving
construction and operation of facilities
by Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company,
L.L.C. (Tennessee) in San Patricio and
Jackson Counties, Texas. The
Commission will use this EA 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 on the project.
You can make a difference by providing
us with your specific comments or
concerns about the project. 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 EA. To ensure that your
comments are timely and properly
recorded, please send your comments so
that the Commission receives them in
Washington, DC on or before November
14, 2016.
If you sent comments on this project
to the Commission before the opening of
this docket on September 1, 2016, you
will need to file those comments in
Docket No. CP16–496–000 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
agreement. However, if the Commission
approves the project, that approval
conveys with it the right of eminent
domain. Therefore, if easement
negotiations fail to produce an
agreement, the pipeline company could
initiate condemnation proceedings
where compensation would be
determined in accordance with state
law.
Tennessee 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?’’ This fact sheet addresses a
number of typically asked questions,
including the use of eminent domain
and how to participate in the
Commission’s proceedings. It is also
available for viewing on the FERC Web
site (www.ferc.gov).
Public Participation
For your convenience, there are three
methods you can use to submit your
comments to the Commission. The
Commission encourages electronic filing
of comments and has expert staff
available to assist you at (202) 502–8258
or [email protected]. Please carefully
follow these instructions so that your
comments are properly recorded.
(1) You can file your comments
