10 C.F.R. Appendix C to Subpart D to Part 1021—Classes of Actions that Normally Require EAs But Not Necessarily EISs
Title 10 - Energy
Table of Contents C1. [Reserved] C2. Rate increases more than inflation, not power marketing C3. Electric power marketing rate changes, not within normal operating limits. C4. Reconstructing and constructing electric powerlines. C5. Implementation of Power Marketing Administration systemwide vegetation management program C6. Implementation of Power Marketing Administration systemwide erosion control program C7. Allocation of electric power, no major new generation resource/major changes in operation of generation resources/major new loads. C8. Protection of fish and wildlife habitat C9. Field demonstration projects for wetlands C10. [Reserved] C11. Siting/construction/operation/decommissioning of low- or medium-energy particle acceleration facility with primary beam energy greater than approximately 100 MeV C12. Siting/construction/operation of energy system prototypes C13. Import/export natural gas, minor new construction (other than a cogeneration powerplant) C14. Siting/construction/operation of water treatment facilities greater than approximately 250,000 gallons per day capacity C15. Siting/construction/operation of research and development incinerators/nonhazardous waste incinerators C16. Siting/construction/operation/decommissioning of large waste storage facilities C1 [Reserved] C2 Rate increases for products or services marketed by DOE, except for electric power, power transmission, and other products or services provided by the Power Marketing Administrations, and approval of rate increases for non-DOE entities, that exceed the change in the overall price level in the economy (inflation), as measured by the GNP fixed weight price index published by the Department of Commerce, during the period since the last rate increase for that product or service. C3 Rate changes for electric power, power transmission, and other products or services provided by Power Marketing Administrations that are based on changes in revenue requirements if the operations of generation projects would not remain within normal operating limits. C4 Reconstructing (upgrading or rebuilding) existing electric powerlines more than approximately 20 miles in length or constructing new electric powerlines more than approximately 10 miles in length. C5 Implementation of a Power Marketing Administration system-wide vegetation management program. C6 Implementation of a Power Marketing Administration system-wide erosion control program. C7 Establishment and implementation of contracts, policies, marketing plans, or allocation plans for the allocation of electric power that do not involve (1) the addition of new generation resources greater than 50 average megawatts, (2) major changes in the operating limits of generation resources greater than 50 average megawatts, or (3) service to discrete new loads of 10 average megawatts or more over a 12 month period. This applies to power marketing operations and to siting, construction, and operation of power generating facilities at DOE sites. C8 Protection, restoration, or improvement of fish and wildlife habitat, fish passage facilities, and fish hatcheries if the proposed action may adversely affect an environmentally sensitive resource. C9 Field demonstration projects for wetlands mitigation, creation, and restoration. C10 [Reserved] C11 Siting, construction (or modification), operation, and decommissioning of a low- or medium-energy (but greater than approximately 100 MeV primary beam energy) particle acceleration facility, including electron beam acceleration facilities, and associated beamlines, storage rings, colliders, and detectors for research and medical purposes, within or contiguous to an already developed area (where active utilities and currently used roads are readily accessible). C12 Siting, construction, and operation of energy system prototypes including, but not limited to, wind resource, hydropower, geothermal, fossil fuel, biomass, and solar energy pilot projects. C13 Approval or disapproval of an application to import/export natural gas under section 3 of the Natural Gas Act involving minor new construction (other than a cogeneration powerplant), such as adding new connections, looping, or compression to an existing natural gas pipeline or converting an existing oil pipeline to a natural gas pipeline using the same right-of-way. C14 Siting, construction (or expansion), operation, and decommissioning of wastewater, surface water, potable water, and sewage treatment facilities with a total capacity greater than approximately 250,000 gallons per day, and of lower capacity wastewater and surface water treatment facilities whose liquid discharges are not subject to external regulation. C15 Siting, construction (or expansion), and operation of research and development incinerators for any type of waste and of any other incinerators that would treat nonhazardous solid waste (as designated in 40 CFR Part 261.4(b)). C16 Siting, construction (or modification to increase capacity), operation, and decommissioning of packaging and unpacking facilities (that may include characterization operations) and large storage facilities (greater than approximately 50,000 square feet in area) for waste, except high-level radioactive waste, generated onsite or resulting from activities connected to site operations. These actions do not include storage, packaging, or unpacking of spent nuclear fuel. See also B6.4, B6.5, B6.6, and B6.10.
