SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PHMSA
received a special permit request from
Gulfstream LNG on September 17, 2025,
seeking to waive certain requirements in
the Federal pipeline safety regulations
that would apply otherwise to the
design, construction, and testing of a
proposed LNG storage tank in
Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana.
Gulfstream LNG is proposing to
construct and operate gas treatment,
liquefaction, LNG storage, truck loading,
and marine facilities (collectively
known as the Gulfstream LNG Project or
the Project) for the purpose of liquefying
domestic natural gas for export to
foreign markets as LNG. The proposed
project would include a membrane tank,
to be used for LNG storage, with a
nominal working volume of 200,000
cubic meters or 1,258,000 barrels.
Gulfstream LNG seeks to waive the
requirements of 49 CFR 193.2101(a),
193.2301, and 193.2303, which
incorporate by reference the 2001
edition of National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) 59A–2001,
‘‘Standard for the Production, Storage,
and Handling of Liquefied Natural Gas
(LNG),’’ for the design, construction,
and testing of LNG facilities, including
the design of LNG storage tanks.
Specifically, Gulfstream LNG is

Decision Following the Formal
Evaluation on the Relationship
Between Exposure to Fine Particulate
Matter and Certain Blood Conditions
Department of Veterans Affairs.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA) is issuing notice of the
Secretary’s determination under title 38
United States Code (U.S.C.) 1174(a)(2)
that a presumption of service
connection is not warranted for
polycythemia vera, essential
thrombocythemia, histiocytosis,
mastocytosis, and chronic
myeloproliferative disease for veterans
exposed to fine particulate matter
(PM2.5) while serving in the Southwest
Asia Theater of Operations or Somalia
on or after August 2, 1990, or in
Afghanistan, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon,
Syria, Yemen, Djibouti, or Uzbekistan
on or after September 11, 2001.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr.
Erin Dursa, Veterans Health
Administration, 202–461–7297.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 38 U.S.C.
1171–74 details the process for
determining presumptions of service
connection based on toxic exposures.
On November 20, 2024, the Secretary of
Veterans Affairs directed a formal
evaluation 1 of five blood conditions,
including polycythemia vera, essential
thrombocythemia, histiocytosis,
mastocytosis, and chronic
myeloproliferative disease for veterans
exposed to PM2.5 while serving in the
Southwest Asia theater of operations or
Somalia on or after August 2, 1990, or
in Afghanistan, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon,
Syria, Yemen, Djibouti, or Uzbekistan
on or after September 11, 2001.
VA conducted a formal evaluation
between November 2024 and March
2025 that considered available medical
evidence, Veterans Health
Administration (VHA) health care data,
Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA)
claims data, and other factors, as
required by 38 U.S.C. 1173. A structured
literature search did not yield any
SUMMARY:
1 Report to The Secretary of Veterans Affairs on
the Formal Evaluation on The Relationship
Between Exposure to Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5)
in the Southwest Theater of Operations or Somalia
on or after August 2, 1990, or in Afghanistan, Egypt,
Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Djibouti, or
Uzbekistan on or after September 11, 2001, and
Polycythemia Vera, Essential Thrombocythemia,
Histiocytosis, Mastocytosis, and Chronic
Myeloproliferative Disease, May 2025 (hereafter
‘‘Formal Evaluation Report’’) is available at

papers that were directly relevant to
assessing the relationship between
exposure to PM2.5 and polycythemia
vera, essential thrombocythemia,
histiocytosis, mastocytosis, and chronic
myeloproliferative disease.
Additionally, the formal evaluation
analyzed VHA electronic medical record
data for the five conditions of interest
between Calendar Year (CY) 2016 and
CY24. The results indicate that the nineyear prevalence of these conditions
among post-9/11 veterans who served in
the Southwest Asia theater of operations
who use VHA health care was lower
than the prevalence in the general
population. The nine-year prevalence of
these conditions among the 1990–1991
Gulf War Era veteran population
utilizing VHA health care was higher
than the general population, except for
mastocytosis; this was observed in both
veterans who deployed to Southwest
Asia and those who served during the
time period of the war but did not
deploy. This is likely due to this veteran
population’s older age distribution.
The formal evaluation also analyzed
VBA claims data for polycythemia vera,
essential thrombocythemia,
histiocytosis, mastocytosis, and chronic
myeloproliferative disease across four
Gulf War Era cohorts, encompassing a
total of 11,022,410 veterans. Between
2005 and 2025, 3,507 of those veterans
filed claims for these conditions. The
claim filing rate for these blood
conditions varied minimally across
cohorts, ranging from 0.01% to 0.06%.
Among the claims, 1,777 veterans were
granted service connection. The grant
rate across the four cohorts was 50.67%.
The service connection prevalence rate
was low and consistent across cohorts.
The formal evaluation report was
reviewed by hematologists/oncologists
at the National Oncology Program
Office.
Based on the findings from the formal
evaluation, including a literature search
and the analysis of VHA and VBA data,
the Secretary has determined that a
presumption of service connection is
not warranted for polycythemia vera,
essential thrombocythemia,
histiocytosis, mastocytosis, or chronic
myeloproliferative disease for veterans
exposed to fine particulate matter
(PM2.5) while serving in the Southwest
Asia Theater of Operations or Somalia
on or after August 2, 1990, or in
Afghanistan, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon,
Syria, Yemen, Djibouti, or Uzbekistan
on or after September 11, 2001.
Currently available evidence is not
sufficient to conclude, or is not
sufficient to make a scientifically
informed judgment, that a positive
association as likely as not exists
