PFAs Reporting Revisions The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is proposing amendments to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) regulation for reporting and recordkeeping requirements for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). As promulgated in October 2023, the regulation requires manufacturers (including importers) of PFAS in any year between 2011-2022 to report certain data to the EPA related to exposure and environmental and health effects. EPA is proposing to incorporate certain exemptions and other modifications to the scope of the reporting regulation.

Bear Trap Fire Restoration Project Proposed action is to reduce and mitigate post-fire risks needed to protect the public, critical infrastructure, and key ecological values; support the durability and resiliency of the forest; and promote multiple use and balance forest resources within the Beartrap Canyon area. Project activities will focus on NFSR 549 and campgrounds along this road. Road restoration work, including reconstruction and realignment, will occur within an 8-mile corridor along NFSR 549 that includes 26 existing stream crossings. Crossing features may be constructed, reconstructed, relocated, or removed. Watershed restoration actions including channel and bank stabilization, reconstruction, realignment, instream and floodplain projects, erosion control and head cut stabilization, riparian vegetation treatments, and improvements for aquatic, riparian, and wetland habitats and wildlife. Recreation-related activities include decommissioning two campgrounds, expanding an existing campground, re-constructing trails, and improving areas for trail access.

Forza Gas Pipeline Project Perennial Environmental Services, LLC (Perennial), on behalf of Forza Pipeline LLC (Forza), submits the enclosed Threatened and Endangered Species Report for the Forza Pipeline FZA-A Project (Project). The Project as further described in the enclosed Threatened and Endangered Species Report is under the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), and concurrent with this submission, Forza is filing an application with FERC for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity under Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act. The proposed Project involves five primary components: (1) the installation of 35.94 miles of new 36-inch diameter natural gas pipeline beginning in Lea County, New Mexico and terminating in Winkler County, Texas; (2) construction of a new meter station in Lea County, New Mexico, including the installation of a new riser; (3) installation of a new 36-inch mainline valve along the proposed pipeline in Loving County, Texas; (4) installation of a new riser at the existing Wildcat Junction site in Winkler County, Texas; and (5) the lease of 750 million cubic feet per day capacity on the existing intrastate Bull Run Pipeline. The Threatened and Endangered Species Report provides an overview of the Project's scope, environmental setting, results of field surveys conducted for the Project, and determinations regarding the Project's potential impacts on federal and state listed species that could occur within the Project area.
