The special permit waives compliance with 49 CFR §§ 192.611(a) and (d) and 192.619 (a) for pipeline segments where the class location has changed to Class 3, allowing FGT to continue operating the original Class 1 design pipe in Class 3 locations, subject to the conditions set forth in the special permit. FGT has requested a new special permit segment of 3,587 feet (approximately 0.679 miles) of 26-inch FGT Mainline Loop STA18–STA19 line, and special permit segment extensions totaling 8,009 feet (approximately 1.517 miles) of 30-inch FGT MLV 18-1 to C/S 19 line. The combined length of the requested incorporated special permit segments is 11,596 feet (approximately 2.196 miles), located in Osceola and Brevard counties, Florida. On August 21, 2025, PHMSA published a Federal Register notice (90 FR 40886) announcing the special permit amendment request. The request letter and other pertinent documents are available in Docket No. PHMSA-2020-0001 on the Federal Docket Management System located at www.regulations.gov. 1 PHMSA received one anonymous public comment during the 30-day comment period from August 21, 2025 to September 22, 2025. The comment was submitted on September 8, 2025.

2020-0001-1 FGT Extension LOD_SPAF 11-6-25, page 2conditions will apply to the new and extended special permit segments, including requiring use of remote-controlled valves. PHMSA response: The new special permit segment and extended special permit segments are subject to the conditions in the existing special permit PHMSA-2020-0001, including Condition 12, which requires FGT to automate mainline isolation valves for closure and remote monitoring. PHMSA has reviewed FGT’s request to incorporate two special permit segment extensions and one new special permit segment into special permit PHMSA-2020-0001, along with documentation substantiating the integrity of the pipeline segments. PHMSA determined that the incorporation would not require a material change in conditions and the modification is not inconsistent with pipeline safety. Accordingly, pursuant to 49 CFR § 190.341, by this order—and as outlined in the existing special permit—PHMSA grants the amendment of the special permit, PHMSA-2020-0001, effective through March 31, 2032, to FGT. The amendment continues to waive compliance with certain Federal regulations in 49 CFR §§ 192.611(a) and (d) and 192.619(a). My staff would be pleased to discuss this special permit or any other regulatory matter with you.

2020-0001 - FGT - Class 1 to 3 SP - FL - Segment Extension and 5 new Segments - SPAF - 08-22-2023, page 7granted or denied through a special permit. First, certain threshold requirements should be met on a pipeline special permit segment for a class location change special permit to be granted. Second, the age and manufacturing process of the pipe; system design, and construction; environmental, operating and maintenance histories; and integrity management program elements are evaluated as significant criteria. These significant criteria are presented in matrix form and can be reviewed in the FDMS, Docket No. PHMSA–RSPA-2004-17401. Third, special permits will only be granted when pipe conditions and active integrity management provides a level of safety greater than or equal to a pipe replacement or pressure reduction. The operator’s Federal pipeline safety regulation compliance history is also evaluated as part of the criteria matrix for acceptability prior to issuance of a special permit. Threshold Requirements: Each of the threshold requirements published by PHMSA in the June 29, 2004, Federal Register notice is discussed below regarding the FGT special permit request. 1) No pipeline segments in a class location changing to Class 4 location will be considered. • This special permit request is for the special permit segments on the FGT 26-inch diameter Mainline Loop CMPR STA 17-18, 26-inch diameter Mainline Loop STA18- STA19, and 30-inch diameter MLV 18-1 To C/S 19 Pipelines, where a change has occurred from a Class 1 location to a Class 3 location or a Class 2 location to a Class 3 location. • FGT has met this requirement. 2) No bare pipe will be considered. • The special permit segments are externally coated with coal tar epoxy or fusion bonded epoxy. FGT has met this requirement of no bare pipe. • FGT has not reported any coating issues such as disbonded coating. • FGT has met this requirement. 3) No pipe containing wrinkle bends will be considered. • There are no wrinkle bends in the special permit segments. • FGT has met this requirement. 4) No pipe segments operating above 72% of the specified minimum yield strength (SMYS) will be considered for a Class 3 special permit. • The special permit segments operate at or below 72% SMYS.

2020-0001 - FGT - Class 1 to 3 SP - FL - Segment Extension and 5 new Segments - SPAF - 08-22-2023, page 9• FGT has had no SCC findings or failures on these segments. Due to the coating type and operational and environmental conditions of the pipeline, FGT has evaluated the special permit segments and special permit inspection areas as being not susceptible to SCC in accordance with ASME B31.8S. 7) Criteria for consideration of a class location change waiver, being considered through the special permit, published by PHMSA in the Federal Register (69 FR 38948), define a waiver inspection area (special permit inspection area) as up to 25 miles of pipe on either side of the waiver segment (special permit segment). • A special permit would be contingent upon FGT’s incorporation of the special permit segments in its written integrity management program as covered segments in a high consequence area in accordance with 49 CFR 192.903 and to assess and remediate threats to the special permit inspection areas. Criteria Matrix: The data submitted by FGT for the special permit segments have been compared to the class location change special permit criteria matrix. The data fall within the probable acceptance or the possible acceptance column of the criteria matrix, except for PHMSA enforcement findings which fall under the requires substantial justification. • The special permit segments fall in the probable acceptance column of the criteria matrix for: o Class 2 to 3 location, pipe manufacturer (MLV 18-1 To C/S 19 Pipeline), pipe material, design stress, coating type (MLV 18-1 To C/S 19 Pipeline), girth welds (Mainline Loop STA18-STA19 and MLV 18-1 To C/S 19 Pipelines), depth of pipe cover, test pressure, test failures, local geology, type service, pressure fluctuations, safety related conditions, direct assessment, ILI type, and damage prevention program. • The special permit segments fall in the possible acceptance column of the criteria matrix for: o Class 1 to 3 location, pipe manufacturer (Mainline Loop CMPR STA 17-18 and Mainline Loop STA18-STA19 Pipelines), pipe coating type (may shield cathodic protection (CP) Mainline Loop CMPR STA 17-18 and Mainline Loop STA18- STA19 Pipelines), leaks and failures, CP, HCA program, and ILI program.

2020-0001 - FGT - Class 1 to 3 SP - FL - Segment Extension and 5 new Segments - SPAF - 08-22-2023, page 10• The special permit segments fall in the requires substantial justification column of the criteria matrix for: o Pipe girth weld records are not available for the Mainline Loop CMPR STA 17- 18 Pipeline. o Energy Transfer and Kinder Morgan, Inc. are co-owners of FGT. Energy Transfers overall enforcement findings fall in the requires substantial justification category. FGT enforcement findings do not fall within this category. Operational Integrity Compliance: To inform PHMSA’s decision about whether a special permit could provide a level of safety greater than or equal to a pipe replacement or pressure reduction and is consistent with pipeline safety, PHMSA reviewed this special permit request to understand the known type of integrity threats that are in the special permit segments and special permit inspection areas. This integrity information was used to design special permit conditions to provide a systematic program to review and remediate the pipeline for safety concerns. Additional operational integrity review and remediation requirements are required by this special permit to ensure that the operator has an ongoing program to locate and remediate safety threats. These threats to integrity and safety include any issues with the pipe coating quality, cathodic protection effectiveness, operations damage prevention program, pipe depth of soil cover, weld seam and girth weld integrity, anomalies in the pipe steel and welds, and material and structures either along or near the pipeline that could cause the cathodic protection system to be ineffective. PHMSA has carefully designed a comprehensive set of conditions that FGT must implement to comply with this special permit. Past Enforcement History – January 1, 2013, through June 30, 2023: During January 1, 2013, through June 30, 2023, FGT was cited in eight (8) enforcement actions with a total of $1,050,900 in assessed civil penalties.

2020-0001 - FGT - Class 1 to 3 SP - FL - Segment Extension and 5 new Segments - SPAF - 08-22-2023, page 13Findings: Based on the information submitted by FGT and PHMSA’s analysis of the technical, operational, and safety issues, PHMSA finds that granting this special permit to FGT to operate the special permit segments including five (5) new special permit segment and the extension of one (1) special permit segment on the 26-inch diameter Mainline Loop STA18-STA19, 26-inch diameter Mainline Loop CMPR STA 17-18, and 30-inch diameter MLV 18-1 to C/S 19 Pipelines in Brevard, Lake, Orange, and Osceola Counties, Florida, for approximately 4.406 miles (previous mileage was 3.761 miles) of Class 1 or Class 2 location pipe in a Class 3 location is consistent with pipeline safety. FGT’s enforcement record does not reflect sustained and substantial noncompliance with 49 CFR Part 192. PHMSA has designed special permit conditions to effectively assess and remediate threats to the special permit segments and special permit inspection areas, including assessments to evaluate pipe girth welds that have not been non-destructively tested, and any pipe with inadequate pressure test or material records. To ensure FGT properly implements the special permit conditions, FGT will be required to give PHMSA an annual review of their compliance with the special permit. PHMSA finds that no significant negative impact to human safety and the environment will result from the issuance and full implementation of a special permit that waives the requirements of 49 CFR 192.611(a) and (d) and 192.619(a) for class location changes to a Class 3 location. This permit requires FGT to implement the special permit conditions which include safety requirements on the operations, maintenance, and integrity management of the special permit segments and the special permit inspection areas.

Public Notice: On March 26, 2020, PHMSA posted a notice of this special permit request in the Federal Register (85 FR 17176) with a closing date of April 27, 2020. PHMSA received no comments on this special permit application during the comment period. PHMSA received the same comment repeated three (3) times several months after the close of the comment period. The comment criticized special permit application processing delay, but the comment did not provide an opinion on the safety or merit of this specific proposed special permit. PHMSA has reviewed this special permit application to ensure the special permit conditions address pipeline safety and integrity threats to the pipeline in the special permit segments and special permit inspection areas. The special permit will require FGT’s Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Manual and Procedures to provide a systematic program to review and remediate the pipeline for safety concerns. Additional operational integrity reviews and remediation requirements will be required by this special permit for these special permit segments for Class 1 to 3 location changes or Class 2 to 3 location changes. The FGT special permit application letter, Federal Register notice, FEA and FONSI, special permit with conditions, special permit analysis and findings document, and all other pertinent documents are available for review in Docket No. PHMSA-2020-0001 in the Federal Docket Management System (FDMS) located on the internet at www.Regulations.gov. Analysis: Background: On June 29, 2004, PHMSA published in the Federal Register (69 FR 38948) the criteria it uses for the consideration of applications for class location change waivers, now being granted or denied through a special permit. First, certain threshold requirements should be met on a pipeline special permit segment for a class location change special permit to be granted. 4 The special permit inspection areas include the special permit segments.

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-SPAF - 03-25-2022, page 5Second, the age and manufacturing process of the pipe; system design, and construction; environmental, operating and maintenance histories; and integrity management program elements are evaluated as significant criteria. These significant criteria are presented in matrix form and can be reviewed in the FDMS, Docket No. PHMSA–RSPA-2004-17401. Third, special permits will only be granted when pipe conditions and active integrity management provides a level of safety greater than or equal to a pipe replacement or pressure reduction. The operator’s Federal pipeline safety regulation compliance history is also evaluated as part of the criteria matrix for acceptability prior to issuance of a special permit. Threshold Requirements: Each of the threshold requirements published by PHMSA in the June 29, 2004, Federal Register notice is discussed below in regards to the FGT special permit request. 1) No pipeline segments in a class location changing to Class 4 location will be considered. • This special permit request is for the special permit segments on the FGT 26-inch diameter Mainline Loop CMPR STA 17-18, 26-inch diameter Mainline Loop STA18- STA19, and 30-inch diameter MLV 18-1 To C/S 19 Pipelines, where a change has occurred from a Class 1 location to a Class 3 location or a Class 2 location to a Class 3 location. • FGT has met this requirement. 2) No bare pipe will be considered. • The special permit segments are externally coated with coal tar epoxy or fusion bonded epoxy. FGT has met this requirement of no bare pipe. • FGT has not reported any coating issues such as disbonded coating. • FGT has met this requirement. 3) No pipe containing wrinkle bends will be considered. • There are no wrinkle bends in the special permit segments. • FGT has met this requirement. 4) No pipe segments operating above 72% of the specified minimum yield strength (SMYS) will be considered for a Class 3 special permit. • The special permit segments operate at or below 72% SMYS.

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-SPAF - 03-25-2022, page 7• FGT has had no SCC findings or failures. Due to the coating type and operational and environmental conditions of the pipeline, FGT has evaluated the special permit segments and special permit inspection areas as being not susceptible to SCC in accordance with ASME B31.8S. 7) Criteria for consideration of a class location change waiver, being considered through the special permit, published by PHMSA in the Federal Register (69 FR 38948), define a waiver inspection area (special permit inspection area) as up to 25 miles of pipe on either side of the waiver segment (special permit segment). • A special permit would be contingent upon FGT’s incorporation of the special permit segments in its written integrity management program as covered segments in a high consequence area in accordance with 49 CFR 192.903 and to assess and remediate threats to the special permit inspection areas. Criteria Matrix: The data submitted by FGT for the special permit segments have been compared to the class location change special permit criteria matrix. The data fall within the probable acceptance or the possible acceptance column of the criteria matrix, except for PHMSA enforcement findings which fall under the requires substantial justification. • The special permit segments fall in the probable acceptance column of the criteria matrix for: o Class 2 to 3 location, pipe manufacturer (MLV 18-1 To C/S 19 Pipeline), pipe material, design stress, coating type (MLV 18-1 To C/S 19 Pipeline), girth welds (Mainline Loop STA18-STA19 and MLV 18-1 To C/S 19 Pipelines), depth of pipe cover, test pressure, test failures, local geology, type service, pressure fluctuations, safety related conditions, direct assessment, ILI type, and damage prevention program. • The special permit segments fall in the possible acceptance column of the criteria matrix for: o Class 1 to 3 location, pipe manufacturer (Mainline Loop CMPR STA 17-18 and Mainline Loop STA18-STA19 Pipelines), pipe coating type (may shield cathodic protection (CP) Mainline Loop CMPR STA 17-18 and Mainline Loop STA18- STA19 Pipelines), leaks and failures, CP, HCA program, and ILI program.

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-SPAF - 03-25-2022, page 8• The special permit segments fall in the requires substantial justification column of the criteria matrix for: o Pipe girth weld records are not available for the Mainline Loop CMPR STA 17- 18 Pipeline. Operational Integrity Compliance: To inform PHMSA’s decision about whether a special permit could provide a level of safety greater than or equal to a pipe replacement or pressure reduction and is consistent with pipeline safety, PHMSA reviewed this special permit request to understand the known type of integrity threats that are in the special permit segments and special permit inspection areas. This integrity information was used to design special permit conditions to provide a systematic program to review and remediate the pipeline for safety concerns. Additional operational integrity review and remediation requirements are required by this special permit to ensure that the operator has an ongoing program to locate and remediate safety threats. These threats to integrity and safety include any issues with the pipe coating quality, cathodic protection effectiveness, operations damage prevention program, pipe depth of soil cover, weld seam and girth weld integrity, anomalies in the pipe steel and welds, and material and structures either along or near the pipeline that could cause the cathodic protection system to be ineffective. PHMSA has carefully designed a comprehensive set of conditions that FGT must implement to comply with this special permit. Past Enforcement History – January 1, 2011 through June 15, 2021: During January 1, 2011, through June 15, 2021, FGT was cited in five (5) enforcement actions with a total of $197,200 in assessed civil penalties.

FGT’s enforcement record does not reflect sustained and substantial noncompliance with 49 CFR Part 192. PHMSA has designed special permit conditions to effectively assess and remediate threats to the special permit segments and special permit inspection areas, including assessments to evaluate pipe girth welds that have not been non-destructively tested, and any pipe with inadequate pressure test or material records. To ensure FGT properly implements the special permit conditions, FGT will be required to give PHMSA an annual review of their compliance with the special permit. PHMSA finds that no significant negative impact to human safety and the environment will result from the issuance and full implementation of a special permit that waives the requirements of 49 CFR 192.611(a) and (d) and 192.619(a) for class location changes to a Class 3 location. This permit requires FGT to implement the special permit conditions which include safety requirements on the operations, maintenance, and integrity management of the special permit segments and the special permit inspection areas.

Peabody, “Peabody’s Control of Pipeline Corrosion,” second edition, “Criteria for Cathodic Protection.” “The 100mV polarization criterion should not be used in areas subject to stray current because 100 mV of polarization may not be sufficient to mitigate corrosion in these areas. This criterion also should not be used in areas where the intergranular form of external SCC, also referred to as high-pH or classical SCC, is suspected. The potential range for cracking lies between the native potential and -850 mV (CSE) such that application of the 100mV polarization criterion may place the potential of the structure in the range for cracking.” PHMSA-2020-0001 – Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC Special Permit with Conditions – Class 1 and 2 to Class 3 Locations - Florida Page 9 of 57#

FGT must use appropriate methods for crack detection, such as phased array ultrasonic (PAUT), inverse wavefield extrapolation (IWEX), or magnetic particle inspection (MPI), 28 when an extended special permit segment is uncovered, and the coating has been identified as poor during the pipeline examination. Visual inspection is not sufficient to determine “poor coating.” FGT must “jeep” the excavated segment to determine the coating condition. Examples of “poor coating” include, but are not limited to, a coating that has become damaged and is losing adhesion to the pipe which is shown by falling off the pipe and/or shields the CP. FGT must keep coating records29 at all excavation locations in the special permit inspection area to demonstrate the coating condition. e) Discovery of SCC: If FGT discovers SCC30 activity by any means within the extended special permit segment in similar pipe vintage (manufacturer, manufacturing time or age, diameter, wall thickness, grade, and seam type) and pipe coating vintage (in accordance with 49 CFR 192.917(e)), or the extended special permit segment has had an in-service or hydrostatic test SCC failure or leak, 31 the special permit segment must be further assessed and mitigated, within 18 months of finding SCC and reassessed 28 When MPI finds cracking, another method must be used to size the crack unless the crack can be completely ground out and still meet the pipeline MAOP. 29 The records must include, at a minimum, a description of FGT’s detection procedures, records of finding, and mitigation procedures implemented for the excavation. 30 “SCC” activity shall be defined as greater than 20 percent wall thickness depth and 2-inches in length. 31 For all in-service and pressure test failures, FGT must perform a root cause analysis, including the metallurgical examination of the failed pipe, to determine if the failure is caused by a systemic or non-systemic issue. FGT must provide the written results of this root cause analysis to the Director, PHMSA Southwest Region, within 90 days of the failure and must submit a copy of the root cause analysis to the Director, PHMSA Engineering and Research Division.

FGT must complete a successful SCC hydrostatic test prior to returning the extended special permit segment to operational service; ii) Crack Detection Tool Assessment: FGT must run an electro-magnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) ILI tool or other equivalent crack detection ILI tool in the extended special permit segment; iii) MAOP Lowered: FGT must lower the MAOP of the special permit segment to 60% specified minimum yield strength (SMYS); iv) Pipe Replacement: FGT must replace all pipe and comply with 49 CFR 192.611 and 192.619 in the special permit segment; or v) Operating Pressure Lowered: FGT must lower the operating pressure of the special permit segment to 20% below the maximum pressure during the preceding 90-day operating interval until FGT conducts an ECA and remediates the special permit segment. 32 FGT has the option to submit a written request to the Director, PHMSA Southwest Region, with a copy to the Director, PHMSA Engineering and Research Division, for extension of the crack assessment interval to a seven (7) years, as defined in 49 CFR 192.939(a), if the ECA shows that five (5) calendar year assessments are not required. FGT must receive a “no objection” letter from the Director, PHMSA Southwest Region, prior to extending the assessment interval to seven (7) calendar years. 33 FGT may propose an alternative assessment method for SCC (such as spike hydrostatic testing in accordance with 49 CFR 192.506) to the Director, PHMSA Southwest Region, with a copy of the proposal to the Director, PHMSA Engineering and Research Division.

FGT must compare previous indications to current indications that are significantly different. If a trend is identified where the tool has been consistently overcalling or under-calling, the remaining ILI features must be re- graded accordingly. ii) Unity Plots: The unity plots must show actual anomaly depth versus predicted depth. iii) ILI Tool Evaluations: ILI tool evaluations for metal loss must use “6t x 6t”38 interaction criteria for determining anomaly failure pressures and response timing. iv) Discovery Date: The discovery date39 must be within 180 days of any ILI tool run for each type of ILI tool (e.g. HR-geometry, HR-deformation, HR-MFL, EMAT, IMU, or other equivalent ILI tools). 35 ILI calibration for EMAT ILI Tools must be based upon excavation results of a minimum of the two (2) most severe anomalies from a combined review of crack depth and length. FGT can propose alternative EMAT ILI Tool evaluation procedures to the Director, PHMSA Southwest Region, but must receive a “no objection” letter prior to usage of these procedures. 36 ILI tool calibration excavations may include previously excavated anomalies or recent anomaly excavations with known dimensions that were field measured for length, depth, and width, externally re-coated, CP maintained, and documented for ILI calibrations prior to the ILI tool run. ILI tool calibrations must use ILI tool run results and anomaly calibrations from either the special permit inspection area or from the complete ILI tool run segment if the continuous ILI segment is longer than the special permit inspection area. A minimum of four (4) calibration excavations must be used for unity plots. 37 Other known and documented pipeline features that are appropriate for the type of ILI tool used may be used as calibration excavations for ILI tool calibration with technical documentation of their validity. To use other known and documented pipeline features as calibration excavations for ILI tool calibration, FGT must complete the following: (1) submit a plan for using known and documented pipeline features such as calibration excavation data, to the Director, PHMSA Southwest Region, with a copy to the Director, PHMSA Engineering and Research Division. The plan must include at least the following information: a) reason that known and documented pipeline features will be used in place of anomalies on the pipelines; b) the pipeline features that will be used for the ILI tool calibration, and c) the technical justification for using the pipeline features for ILI tool calibration; (2) receive a “no objection” letter from the Director, PHMSA Southwest Region, prior to performing the ILI tool calibration using pipeline features; (3) submit a report to the Director, PHMSA Southwest Region, with a copy to the Director, PHMSA Engineering and Research Division, and with the results of the use of pipeline features for the ILI tool calibration that includes technical documentation establishing the validity of using the pipeline features for the ILI tool calibration. 38 “6t” means pipe wall thickness times six (6). 39 Discovery date is the day, month, and year that FGT receives the ILI tool run results from the ILI tool service provider.

Flow modeling must include anticipated maximum, normal, or any other flow volumes, pressures, or any other operating conditions that may be encountered during the calendar year. The flow model detection for a rupture must be based upon 0.500 times the pipe diameter area or smaller pipe area (partial pipe opening) for rupture sizing to account for pressure drop. If operating conditions change that could affect the ASV set pressures and the 30-minute isolation time after “notification of potential rupture,” a new flow model must be conducted and ASV set pressures must be reset prior to the next review for ASV set pressures. If the special permit segment cannot be isolated within 30 minutes of a “notification of potential rupture” by usage of ASVs, then RCVs must be installed. Table 4 – Valves and Lateral Locations with Isolation Methods has the ASV shutoff pressures and shutoff times for isolation of the special permit segment after “notification of potential rupture.” ii) ASVs must be equipped with rupture sensing equipment to detect the special permit segment “rate of pressure drop” with a set-point between 20 - 40 psig/minute or less unless FGT submits a request for a “rate of pressure drop” set-point change and receives a “no objection” letter from the Director, PHMSA Southwest Region, for any revised shut-in pressures prior to their implementation. iii) ASV shut-in pressures must be confirmed and reset on a calendar year basis not to exceed 15 months. FGT must submit initial and annual ASV shut-in pressures to the Director, PHMSA Southwest Region, as detailed in Condition 15 – Annual Report, and receive a “no objection” letter from the Director, PHMSA Southwest Region, for any revised shut-in pressures prior to their implementation.

If the nearest valve for a gas receipt or delivery line to the special permit inspection area is not isolated, isolation valves must be installed within 12 months of the grant of this special permit;57 Crossover valves that are in the FGT O&M Procedures as locked closed and that are only opened when manned by FGT operating personnel do not require RCVs or ASVs for closure. e) Remote-Control and Automatic-Shutoff Valve Status: i) RCVs must be constantly monitored for valve status (open, closed, or partial closed/open), upstream pressure, and downstream pressure. ii) A special permit segment with ASVs must have a minimum of one (1) pressure monitoring point within the segment when the mainline valve locations do not have pressure monitoring. If an ASV is used, FGT must determine the set pressure used in Condition 12(b) on a calendar year basis not 56 Table 4 – Valves and Lateral Locations with Isolation Methods has a listing of all lateral valves. FGT must update Table 4 – Valves and Lateral Locations with Isolation Methods if a lateral or crossover valve was not identified or is added after the grant of the special permit and submit this update in accordance with Condition 15 – Annual Report. 57 Gas delivery or receipt pipelines must have a shutoff valve (gate or ball valve) either at the connection between the isolation valves for a special permit segment or at the delivery or receipt meter station. Any gas delivery or receipt station over 5-miles in length that is connected between the isolation valves for a special permit segment must have a RCV or ASV within 5-miles of the pipeline tie-in. For gas delivery or receipt pipelines manual shutoff valves can be used for isolation but must be closed within 30-minutes of the pipeline leak or rupture confirmation. Check valves cannot be used for pipelines over 8-inch diameter.

A Grade 1 leak is defined as any of the following: (a) Any leak which, in the judgment of the operating personnel at the scene, is regarded as an immediate hazard; (b) Escaping gas that has ignited; (c) Any indication of gas which has migrated into or under a building, or into a tunnel. (d) Any reading at the outside wall of a building, or any reading where gas would likely migrate to an outside wall of a building; (e) Any reading of 80% lower explosive limit (LEL), or greater, in a confined space; (f) Any reading of 80% LEL, or greater in small substructures (other than gas associated substructures) from which gas would likely migrate to the outside wall of a building; or (g) Any leak that can be seen, heard, or felt, and which is in a location that may endanger the public, property, or environment. (2) A Grade 2 leak requires remediation activity to be completed within 30 days or must have continuous remediation efforts to stop the leak. A Grade 2 leak is defined as any of the following: (a) Any leak which, under frozen or other adverse soil conditions, would likely migrate to the outside wall of a building; (b) Any reading of 40% LEL, or greater, under a sidewalk in a wall-to-wall paved area that does not qualify as a Grade 1 leak; (c) Any reading of 100% LEL, or greater, under a street in a wall-to-wall paved area that has significant gas migration and does not qualify as a Grade 1 leak; (d) Any reading less than 80% LEL in small substructures (other than gas associated substructures) from which gas would likely migrate creating a probable future hazard; PHMSA-2020-0001 – Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC Special Permit with Conditions – Class 1 and 2 to Class 3 Locations - Florida Page 41 of 57#

(3) A Grade 3 leak must be reevaluated at the next scheduled survey, or within 7½ months of the date discovered, whichever occurs first, until the leak is cleared, re-graded, or remediated. Remediation of Grade 3 leaks must be completed within 24 months of discovery of the leak. A Grade 3 leak is defined as any of the following: (a) Any reading of less than 80% LEL in small gas associated structures; (b) Any reading in areas without wall-to-wall paving where it is unlikely the gas could migrate to the outside wall of a building; or (c) Any reading of less than 20% LEL in a confined space. iii) When a pressure limiting device or relief valve allows a gas release to the atmosphere that is located along the special permit inspection area, FGT must conduct an O&M Procedure assessment of the pilot, springs, pressure gauges, and other pressure limiting equipment to ensure these items are properly functioning, sensing, and retaining set pressures. If a pressure limiting device or relief valve deficiency cannot be remediated, the pressure limiting device or relief valve must be replaced or continuously monitored until remediated. FGT cannot extend or change any remediation timing or continuous monitoring requirements in this paragraph without a "no objection" letter received by FGT from the Director, PHMSA Southwest Region. iv) FGT may request an extension of the remediation time interval requirements by writing a request to the Director, PHMSA Southwest Region, but must receive a “no objection” letter from the Director, PHMSA Southwest Region, prior to PHMSA-2020-0001 – Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC Special Permit with Conditions – Class 1 and 2 to Class 3 Locations - Florida Page 42 of 57#

Finite element analysis modeling of the dent must include all associated anomalies, defects, and welds. Other methodologies and approaches that are supported by peer reviewed publications will also be considered as part of the ECA but will require a “no objection” letter from the Director, PHMSA Southwest Region. 7) The analyses performed must account for material property uncertainties and model inaccuracies and ILI tool sizing tolerances. 8) Using operational pressure data, appropriate fatigue models, and assuming the appropriate safety factor, FGT must estimate the fatigue life of the dent in accordance with API 1156 (1997 Edition), API RP 1183 (1st Edition, 2020, or IBR Edition) or other published literature that is technically appropriate for dent assessment. Multiple dent or other fatigue models must be evaluated as part of the ECA. 9) If the dent is suspected to have cracks, then a crack growth rate assessment is required (or the dent needs to be remediated) to ensure adequate life for the dent with crack(s) and the PHMSA-2020-0001 – Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC Special Permit with Conditions – Class 1 and 2 to Class 3 Locations - Florida Page 51 of 57#

FGT believes the Colebrook-White equation fairly typifies the steady state and transient conditions regularly experienced on the FGT pipeline system. As part of developing the Special Permit Conditions, FGT believes the API 520 equation is sufficient to estimate the rupture pattern and thereby accurately computes the reaction times simulated for these pipeline ruptures on the FGT pipeline system.

Background: The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321 – 4375 et seq., Council on Environmental Quality Regulations, 40 CFR 1500-1508, and U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Order No. 5610.1C, requires the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS)1 to analyze a proposed action to determine whether the action will have a significant impact on the human environment. PHMSA analyzes special permit requests for potential risks to public safety and the environment that could result from our decision to grant, grant with additional conditions, or deny the request. As part of this analysis, PHMSA evaluates whether a special permit will impact the likelihood or consequence of a pipeline failure as compared to the operation of the pipeline in 1 Throughout this special permit the usage of “PHMSA” or “PHMSA OPS” means the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration Office of Pipeline Safety.

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 2full compliance with the Federal pipeline safety regulations. PHMSA’s environmental review associated with the special permit application is limited to impacts that would result from granting or denying the special permit. PHMSA developed this assessment to determine what effects, if any, our decision would have on the environment. Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 60118(c) and 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 190.341, PHMSA may only grant special permit requests that are not inconsistent with pipeline safety. PHMSA will impose conditions in the special permit if we conclude they are necessary for safety, environmental protection, or are otherwise in the public interest. If PHMSA determines that a special permit would be inconsistent with pipeline safety or is not justified, the application will be denied. The purpose of this Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) is to comply with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for the Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC (FGT)2 special permit to waive compliance from 49 CFR 192.611 and 192.619 for the thirteen (13) special permit segments and three (3) special permit inspection areas along the FGT natural gas transmission pipeline system in Florida. This FEA assesses the pipeline special permit request, in accordance with 49 CFR 190.341, and is intended to specifically analyze any environmental impact associated with the waiver of certain Federal pipeline safety regulations found in 49 CFR 192.611(a) and (d) and 192.619. This permit requires FGT to implement additional conditions on the operations, maintenance, and integrity management (IM) of the approximately 3.761 miles of the 26-inch diameter Mainline Loop CMPR STA 17-18, 26-inch diameter Mainline Loop CMPR STA 18-19, and 30-inch diameter MLV 18-1 to C/S 19 Pipelines (special permit segments) and approximately 185.7 miles of (special permit inspection areas) of the FGT natural gas transmission pipeline system located in Brevard, Lake, Orange, and Osceola Counties, Florida. II. Introduction: Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 60118(b) and 49 CFR 190.341, FGT submitted a special permit application to PHMSA on December 18, 2019, requesting that PHMSA waive the requirements 2 Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC is owned by Energy Transfer and Kinder Morgan, Inc.

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 3of 49 CFR 192.611(a) and (d) and 192.619(a) to permit FGT to maintain the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) for thirteen (13) special permit segments where the class location has changed from Class 1 to Class 3 located in in Brevard, Lake, Orange, and Osceola Counties, Florida. PHMSA is granting a special permit to waive certain regulatory requirements where it is not inconsistent with pipeline safety. A special permit is typically conditioned on the performance of additional measures beyond minimum Federal pipeline safety regulations, in accordance with 49 CFR 190.341. III. Regulatory Background: PHMSA regulations at 49 CFR 192.611(a) require that an operator confirm or revise the MAOP of a pipe segment that is in satisfactory condition when the hoop stress of the segment is no longer commensurate with class location. Under section 192.611(a), an operator may be required to reduce the operating pressure of a pipe segment, or alternatively, may have to replace the pipe in order to maintain the MAOP. Below is the relevant text of 49 CFR 192.611(a): 49 CFR 192.611 Change in class location: Confirmation or revision of maximum allowable operating pressure (a) If the hoop stress corresponding to the established maximum allowable operating pressure of a segment of pipeline is not commensurate with the present class location, and the segment is in satisfactory physical condition, the maximum allowable operating pressure of that segment of pipeline must be confirmed or revised according to one of the following requirements: (1) If the segment involved has been previously tested in place for a period of not less than 8 hours: (i) The maximum allowable operating pressure is 0.8 times the test pressure in Class 2 locations, 0.667 times the test pressure in Class 3 locations, or 0.555 times the test pressure in Class 4 locations. The corresponding hoop stress may not exceed 72 PHMSA-2020-0001 – Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact - Florida Page 3 of 91#

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 4percent of the SMYS of the pipe in Class 2 locations, 60 percent of SMYS in Class 3 locations, or 50 percent of SMYS in Class 4 locations. (ii) The alternative maximum allowable operating pressure is 0.8 times the test pressure in Class 2 locations and 0.667 times the test pressure in Class 3 locations. For pipelines operating at alternative maximum allowable pressure per §192.620, the corresponding hoop stress may not exceed 80 percent of the SMYS of the pipe in Class 2 locations and 67 percent of SMYS in Class 3 locations. (2) The maximum allowable operating pressure of the segment involved must be reduced so that the corresponding hoop stress is not more than that allowed by this part for new segments of pipelines in the existing class location. 3) The segment involved must be tested in accordance with the applicable requirements of subpart J of this part, and its maximum allowable operating pressure must then be established according to the following criteria: (i) The maximum allowable operating pressure after the requalification test is 0.8 times the test pressure for Class 2 locations, 0.667 times the test pressure for Class 3 locations, and 0.555 times the test pressure for Class 4 locations. (ii) The corresponding hoop stress may not exceed 72 percent of the SMYS of the pipe in Class 2 locations, 60 percent of SMYS in Class 3 locations, or 50 percent of SMYS in Class 4 locations. (iii) For pipeline operating at an alternative maximum allowable operating pressure per §192.620, the alternative maximum allowable operating pressure after the requalification test is 0.8 times the test pressure for Class 2 locations and 0.667 times the test pressure for Class 3 locations. The corresponding hoop stress may not exceed 80 percent of the SMYS of the pipe in Class 2 locations and 67 percent of SMYS in Class 3 locations. IV. Purpose and Need FGT requested a waiver from the requirements of 49 CFR 192.611(a) and (d) and 192.619(a) for the special permit segments consisting of approximately 3.761 miles of natural gas transmission PHMSA-2020-0001 – Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact - Florida Page 4 of 91#

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 5pipeline listed below in Table 1 – Special Permit Segments. Without a special permit, the cited regulations require that FGT complete pipe replacement, hydrotest, and pressure reduction, based on population changes in the vicinity of the segments. FGT must apply the special permit conditions to thirteen (13) special permit segments to provide an equivalent margin of safety and environmental protection to meet the requirements of 49 CFR 192.611, as outlined in the special permit conditions. The special permit establishes enhanced integrity management procedures (IMP) to maintain pipe integrity and protect both the public and the environment for the class location units in which the special permit segments are located for the length of pipeline covered by the special permit. All of the special permit segments must be treated as high consequence areas (HCA) with the implementation of IMP. In addition, FGT must comply with conditions as provided in the terms of the special permit for all the impacted special permit segments and the designated “special permit inspection area” in the special permit. The conditions, as prescribed in the special permit, provide an additional level of safety without the impacts of excavation to remove existing pipe, install the replacement pipe, and conduct pressure testing of the existing pipe. PHMSA has issued various special permits with nearly identical conditions and the conditions will provide, at minimum, a level of safety that is equivalent to the existing regulations. In this age of enhanced pipeline safety tools, such as inline inspection (ILI), and IM processes, it is wasteful and unnecessary to require wholesale replacement of pipe when the population near the pipeline increases. The special permit conditions are designed to identify and mitigate integrity issues that could threaten the pipeline segments and cause failure. The effect of the enhanced monitoring and maintenance requirements will ensure integrity of the pipe and protection of the population living near the pipeline segment to a similar degree as replacing with heavier walled or high-grade pipe without the enhanced IM activities. Granting FGT a special permit waiving the requirements of 49 CFR 192.611(a) and (d) and 192.619(a) benefits the public and FGT in several ways. As PHMSA recognized in its 2004 Notice, implementing additional preventative and mitigative measures enables a pipeline to improve its knowledge and understanding of the pipeline’s integrity, accelerate the identification PHMSA-2020-0001 – Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact - Florida Page 5 of 91#

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 6and repair of actionable anomalies, and better manage and mitigate threats to the public and environment. Implementing enhanced inspection and assessment practices throughout the special permit inspection areas, in lieu of replacing the small sections of pipe experiencing the class location changes, extends pipeline safety benefits to a much greater area. In addition, avoiding pipe excavation, replacement and pressure testing minimizes costs to the operator, avoid delivery interruptions and supply shortages, and avert environmental disturbance. Further, grant of the special permit will allow FGT to avoid unnecessary extensive impact to vegetation, soils and potentially adjacent waterways due to approximately 3.761 miles of excavation to replace and hydrostatically pressure test pipe. FGT will avoid disturbing the right- of-way (ROW) of property owners except for the additional inspections that may be required to satisfy the conditions of the special permit such as those related to the IMP for HCAs, additional stress corrosion cracking verification digs, and potential anomaly evaluations/repairs. All of these benefits will be realized within each of FGT’s requested special permit inspection areas with the granting of this special permit. These measures will enable FGT to assess integrity threats and mitigate safety risks that affect a greater number of people than if FGT were to replace or pressure test isolated segments of pipe. V. Site Description The special permit segments consist of 19,858 feet (approximately 3.761 miles) of the 26-inch diameter Mainline Loop CMPR STA 17-18, 26-inch diameter Mainline Loop CMPR STA 17- 18, and 30-inch diameter MLV 18-1 to C/S 19 Pipelines located in Brevard, Lake, Orange, and Osceola Counties, Florida. The extent of the special permit segments is provided in Table 1 - Special Permit Segments. The special permit inspection areas extend approximately 185.7 miles of the pipeline and contain five (5) high consequences areas (HCA), which are calculated by Method 2 (49 CFR 192.903). VI. Special Permit Segments and Special Permit Inspection Areas On the condition that CGT complies with the terms and conditions set forth below, the special permit waives compliance from 49 CFR 192.611(a) and (d) and 192.619(a) for approximately PHMSA-2020-0001 – Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact - Florida Page 6 of 91#

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 9VII. Alternatives Alternative 1: “No Action” Alternative The “No Action” Alternative or denial of the special permit would entail full compliance with existing regulations, specifically 49 CFR 192.611(a) and (d) and 192.619(a). This provision requires 1) pipeline pressure reduction (i.e., a lower operating pressure or MAOP); 2) new pipeline pressure testing; or 3) pipe replacement (with a heavier walled or higher-grade pipe) of all the pipeline segments associated with this special permit modification request, which includes approximately 3.761 miles of pipeline to address class location changes. Because FGT’s contractual obligations do not allow the operating pressure of the pipe to be lowered, pipeline pressure reduction is not a feasible option. Thus, denial of the special permit would require excavation to remove existing pipe, acquiring environmental permits where necessary, and pressure testing the replacement pipeline segments. This action would require the replacement and pressure testing of all the pipeline segments associated with this special permit request, which would include pipeline construction-related impacts to upland and wetland vegetation, soils, and adjacent waterbodies. Furthermore, the “Do Nothing/No Action” Alternative would result in construction-related inconveniences for businesses and residences located near the affected area and service disruptions from taking the line out of service during pipe replacement construction and pressure testing activities. Lastly, denial of the special permit would mean the enhanced IM portions of the special permit conditions would not be implemented. Alternative 2: “Granted” Alternative FGT requested a special permit, allowing FGT to maintain the current MAOP despite a class change to Class 3 due to population growth. Without a special permit, in Class 3 locations, FGT would be required to reduce the pressure, replace the pipe, or pressure test the pipe. Under this alternative, the pipelines will be subject to additional safety inspections and criteria. Therefore, the special permit avoids: 1. Construction related impacts along the pipeline right-of-way (ROW); PHMSA-2020-0001 – Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact - Florida Page 9 of 91#

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 102. Construction-related inconveniences for businesses and residences located near the affected area; 3. Service disruptions that could result from taking the line out of service during pipe replacement and pressure testing activities; and 4. The cost burdened by FGT’s customers from the venting of the natural gas to atmosphere would be avoided. All segments of pipe in the special permit must be treated as HCAs under an IMP (49 CFR Part 192, Subpart O) as a requirement of the special permit. VIII. Overview of Special Permit Conditions To provide an equivalent level of safety in the absence of either lowering the pipeline operating pressure or upgrading the pipe, this special permit has additional operations and maintenance requirements (conditions) which are intended to decrease the likelihood of a release of gas. PHMSA believes that these additional measures designed to prevent leaks and ruptures will ensure that the Special Permit is not inconsistent with pipeline safety. This section provides an overview of the special permit conditions. For FGT specific technical requirements, see Attachment D - Special Permit Conditions. 1) Current Status of Pipe in the Ground To ensure that key characteristics of the pipe currently installed in each special permit segment is known, records that confirm pipe specifications, successful pressure tests, and girth weld non-destructive tests are required. Should records be unavailable or unacceptable, additional activities as detailed in the special permit must be completed. If these additional activities are not completed or should pipe be discovered that does not meet specific requirements of eligibility, the special permit segment must be replaced. 2) Operating Conditions The special permit inspection areas must continue to be operated at or below the existing MAOP until a restoration or uprating plan has been approved, if allowed by the special permit. To ensure compliance with special permit conditions, the operator’s Operations and Maintenance Manual (O&M), IMP, and Damage Prevention (DP) program must be modified PHMSA-2020-0001 – Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact - Florida Page 10 of 91#

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 11to implement the special permit conditions. In addition, PHMSA must approve any long- term flow reversals that would impact the special permit segments. 3) Threat Management Threats are factors that can lead to the failure of a pipeline. Activities are required to identify, assess, remediate, and monitor threats to the pipeline. a) General activities. The permit holder must perform annual data integration and identification of threats to which the special permit inspection area is susceptible. These activities must include integrity assessments with specific inline inspection tools, strict anomaly repair criteria, and appropriate environmental assessment and permitting. Additional integrity assessment methodologies may be used if allowed by the special permit. Integrity assessments must then be conducted periodically at an interval determined in the special permit for each threat identified. b) External corrosion control requirements. The special permit requires additional activities to monitor and mitigate external corrosion. These activities include installation and annual monitoring of cathodic protection (CP) test stations, periodic close interval surveys (CIS), and clearing or remediating shorted casings that may impede CP effectiveness. These activities ensure the appropriate level of CP is reaching the pipeline in areas where coating loss or damage has occurred in order to prevent or mitigate external corrosion. In addition, the permittee would be required to develop and implement a plan that identifies and remediates interference from alternating or direct current (AC/DC) sources (such as high-voltage powerlines) that could adversely impact the effectiveness of CP. c) Internal corrosion control requirements. The special permit includes gas quality specifications to mitigate internal corrosion because internal corrosion is highly dependent on the quality of the gas transported within the pipeline and. d) Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) requirements. To ensure that SCC is discovered and remediated, any time a pipe segment is exposed during an excavation the permit holder must examine coating to determine type and condition. If the coating is in poor condition, the permit holder must conduct additional SCC analysis. If SCC is confirmed, PHMSA-2020-0001 – Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact - Florida Page 11 of 91#

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 12the permit holder must implement additional special permit defined remediation and mitigation. e) Pipe seam requirements. The permit holder must perform an engineering integrity analysis to determine susceptibility to seam threats. The permit holder must re-pressure test any special permit segments with an identified seam to ensure the issue is not systemic in nature. f) External pipe stress requirements. Upon identification of any source of external stress on the pipeline (such as soil movement), the permit holder must develop procedures to evaluate and periodically monitor these stresses. g) Third-party specific requirements. To assist in identifying the pipeline location and minimizing the chance of accidental pipeline strikes, the permit holder must install and maintain line-of-site markers for the pipeline. The permit holder must perform mitigation activities for any location where a depth-of-cover survey shows insufficient soil cover. 4) Consequence Mitigation To ensure quick response and decreased adverse outcome in the event of a failure, each side (upstream and downstream) of the special permit segment must have and maintain operable automatic shutdown valves (ASV) or remote-controlled valves (RCV). The permit holder must monitor valves through a control room with a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. In addition to the mainline valves, should a crossover or lateral connect between the valve locations, additional isolation valves may be required. 5) Post Leak or Failure If the special permit inspection area experiences an in-service or pressure test leak/failure, the permit holder must conduct a root cause analysis to determine the cause. If the cause is determined to be systemic in nature, the permit holder must implement a remediation plan or the special permit segment must be replaced, as determined by the special permit specific conditions.

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 136) Class Location Study and Potential Extension of Special permit segment The permit holder must conduct a class location study at an interval specified in the special permit. This allows the permit holder to quickly identify extended locations that must comply with the special permit segment requirements. The permit holder may extend the Special permit segments with proper notification, update of the Final Environmental Assessment, and implementation of all requirements in the special permit. 7) PHMSA Oversite and Management PHMSA maintains oversight and management of each special permit. This includes annual meetings with executive level officers on special permit implementation status, written certification of the special permit, special permit required notification of planned activities, notification of root cause analysis results, and notification prior to certain excavation activities so that PHMSA may observe. 8) Gas Leakage Surveys and Remediation The special permit segment and special permit inspection area have requirements in the special permit to conduct leakage surveys more frequently than is presently required in 49 CFR 192.706. Gas leakage surveys using instrumented gas leakage detection equipment must be conducted along each special permit segment and at all valves, flanges, pipeline tie- ins with valves and flanges, ILI launcher, and ILI receiver facilities in each special permit inspection area at least twice each calendar year, not to exceed 7½ months. The type of leak detection equipment used, survey findings, and remediation of all instrumented gas leakage surveys must be documented by operator. The special permit will require a three- step grading process with a time interval for remediation based upon the type of leak. 9) Documentation The special permit holder must maintain documentation that supports compliance with special permit conditions for the life of the pipeline.

Affected Resources and Environmental Consequences of the Granted Action and the No Action Alternatives FGT is granted a special permit that waives compliance with 49 CFR 192.611(a) and (d) and 192.619(a) for thirteen (13) special permit segments totaling 19,858 feet (approximately 3.761 miles) located within three (3) special permit inspection areas totaling 185.7 miles. FGT must comply with the special permit conditions within the special permit segments. Implementation of the special permit conditions, including enhanced IMP, provides an additional level of safety without the impacts of excavation to remove existing pipe, install the replacement pipe, and conduct pressure testing of the existing pipe. Thus, FGT will avoid disturbing approximately 3.761 miles of the pipeline ROW, with the exception of additional inspections that may be required to satisfy the conditions of the special permit such as those related to the IM protocols that may require verification digs and potential anomaly evaluations/repairs. Implementing additional preventative and mitigative measures enables a pipeline to improve its knowledge and understanding of the pipeline’s integrity, accelerate the identification and repair of actionable anomalies, and better manage and mitigate threats to the public and environment. Therefore, implementing enhanced inspection and assessment practices within the special permit inspection areas, in lieu of replacing and pressure testing the small sections of pipe experiencing the class location changes, extends pipeline safety benefits to a much greater area, and avoids environmental disturbances. An analysis of environmental resources in the vicinity of the project area and potential environmental consequences is provided in the following sections. Aesthetics: The visual character of the special permit segments and the special permit inspection areas will not be changed by the approval of this special permit request, except for a requirement to place line of sight markers, the potential addition or upgrade of valves, and possibility of increased maintenance and repair activity due to increased IM requirements. The objective of the special permit is to avoid construction or ground disturbances in the pipeline ROW that would be necessitated if the special permit was not granted. Therefore, the issuance PHMSA-2020-0001 – Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact - Florida Page 14 of 91#

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 15of the requested special permit will result in minimal aesthetic impacts to the affected special permit segments or special permit inspection areas. Denial of the special permit request would require the replacement and pressure testing of all the special permit segments associated with this special permit request. Pipe replacement would require removal of the existing pipe and installation of a new pipe. This would result in the use of heavy equipment and ground disturbance. Furthermore, pressure testing would also require disturbances along the pipeline ROW. Agricultural Resources: Table 4 shows the special permit segments where the FGT pipeline ROW is adjacent to agricultural land. This special permit request will not impact agricultural resources in the pipeline ROW where the special permit segments or the special permit inspection areas are located, except that there may be increased IM activities that could result in temporary disturbance due to excavation sites. The objective of the special permit is to avoid or minimize construction or ground disturbances in the pipeline ROW that would be necessitated if the special permit was not granted. If the special permit request is not granted then pipe replacement and pressure testing would be required, which may temporarily disturb agricultural resources and operations outside of the existing pipeline ROW for the special permit segments listed in Table 4. TABLE 4 - Special permit segments where the Pipeline ROW is Adjacent to Agriculture Land Special Permit Segment Number Line Name County, State Begin Survey Station (SS) End Survey Station (SS) Length (ft.) 165897 Mainline Loop STA 18 – STA 19 Brevard, FL 2967+96 2978+65 1,069 165858 Mainline Loop CMPR STA 17-18 Lake, FL 2081+91 2089+15 724 165859 Mainline Loop CMPR STA 17-18 Lake, FL 2089+15 2095+01 586 Air Quality: Air Quality Control Regions (AQCRs) are areas for which implementation plans describe how ambient air quality standards will be achieved and maintained. AQCRs are defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Area (EPA) and state agencies in accordance with the Clean Air Act of 1970 (CAA). The 1977 CAA Amendments in Section 107 require EPA and states to identify by category those AQCRs meeting and not meeting the U.S. National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) which are standards for harmful pollutants. Areas meeting the NAAQS are designated “attainment areas,” and areas not meeting the NAAQS are PHMSA-2020-0001 – Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact - Florida Page 15 of 91#

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 16designated “nonattainment areas. ” The designation of an area is made on a pollutant-by- pollutant basis. All special permit segments occur in areas that are designated attainment areas for all pollutants. This special permit request will not significantly affect the air quality of the special permit segments or the special permit inspection areas. The objective of the special permit is to avoid construction or ground disturbances in the pipeline ROW that will be necessitated if the special permit was not granted. However, there may be increased maintenance activity which could require the use of heavy equipment due to the increased IM requirements in the special permit conditions. If the special permit request was not granted pipe replacement would be required, which would necessitate blowing down the pipeline releasing natural gas, a known greenhouse gas. Furthermore, pipe replacement and pressure testing would be required which would require the temporary use of heavy equipment, which result in temporary construction emissions. Biological Resources: This special permit request will not significantly impact vegetation (including wetlands), wildlife (including threatened and endangered species), or fishery resources in the pipeline ROW where the special permit segments or the special permit inspection areas are located. Avoiding pipe replacement will preserve vegetation and habitat along the right of way. However, increased maintenance and IM activities required under the special permit could result in more frequent, though isolated, and temporary impacts due to excavations. The low-growing herbaceous cover within the pipeline ROW may provide sources of food and nesting sites for various birds, as well as cover for mammals, invertebrates, reptiles, and amphibians. The area has been disturbed previously during the construction of the existing pipeline. Furthermore, the pipeline ROW is maintained in an herbaceous state by routine mowing and clearing activities using mechanical equipment. Therefore, the wildlife found in the vicinity of the special permit segments would most likely be tolerant of human disturbance. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information, Planning, and Conservation System (IPaC) was utilized to identify the Federal and State listed, threatened and endangered species that could potentially inhabit or traverse the thirteen (13) special permit segments (USFWS, PHMSA-2020-0001 – Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact - Florida Page 16 of 91#

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 172019). Table 5 provides a list of the federally and state listed threatened and endangered species potentially occurring in the special permit segments. A total of 34 listed species (three (3) mammals, 10 birds, eight (8) reptiles, and 13 plants) were identified as potentially occurring in the special permit segments. The objective of the special permit is to avoid construction or ground disturbance in the pipeline ROW. Therefore, with the special permit, wildlife habitat will not be disturbed resulting in “No effect” to listed species. However, if the special permit request is not granted, then pipe replacement and pressure testing would be required, which would disturb vegetation and wildlife habitat in the vicinity of the existing pipeline ROW, which could potentially disturb listed species such as gopher tortoises and gopher tortoise commensal species (i.e. Eastern indigo snake) in the special permit segments. Any inspection activities related to the special permit segments will be conducted within the boundaries of the previously disturbed pipeline ROW. FGT has received a categorical exclusion blanket clearance from the USFWS North Florida Ecological Services Field Office (for special permit segments located in Brevard, Lake, and Orange Counties, Florida) and South Florida Ecological Services Field Office (for special permit segments located in Osceola County) Ecological Field Offices. Activities to be undertaken within its existing, previously disturbed ROW are compliant with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The USFWS field offices have determined in its categorical exclusion blanket clearances that work within FGT’s existing ROW is unlikely to adversely impact federally listed species and their habitats.

Conservative Land: The Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) maintains an inventory of the state's conservation land holdings (FNAI, 2019). None of the thirteen (13) special permit segments cross conservation land holdings. Climate Change: The scope and duration of any activities associated with the new special permit segments will have minimal impact on climate change. The objective of the special permit is to avoid construction or ground disturbances in the pipeline ROW. If the special permit was not granted, pipe replacement would be required, which would necessitate the use of heavy equipment during construction and blowing down the pipeline releasing natural gas, a known greenhouse gas. Pipeline operators can and should mitigate blowdowns through pressure reductions and capture and storage of natural gas during pipeline work. The special permit requires increased maintenance and repair activities, which would result in greenhouse emissions, but the extent of those emissions is likely less than the emissions that would result from a blowdown. Cultural Resources: There are no cultural, archaeological, or paleontological resources that will be impacted by this special permit request. The objective of the special permit is to avoid construction in the ROW. Any inspection activities associated with the special permit segments and special permit inspection areas will be conducted within the boundaries of FGT’s existing aboveground facilities (i.e., compressor station and regulator stations) and maintained pipeline ROW. FGT was granted a categorical exclusion blanket clearance certificate from the Florida Division of Historical Resources for activities to be undertaken within its existing, previously disturbed ROW to ensure compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (NHPA). Section 106 requires federal agencies or their applicants to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic structural and archaeological properties.

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 25State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) concurred with its categorical exclusion for work within existing ROW and stated that “no known historic properties will be affected by this undertaking.” Environmental Justice: This special permit request will not impact any predominantly minority, non-English language, or impoverished populations where the special permit segments or the special permit inspection areas are located. The objective of the special permit is to avoid construction or ground disturbances in the pipeline ROW that will be necessitated if the special permit was not granted. Therefore, approval of this special permit will not have an adverse impact on the local population. The population characteristics for the Counties crossed by the special permit segments are shown in Table 6. Based on U.S. Census data, the 2013-2017 average population for the Counties crossed by the special permit segments range from 297,052 in Lake County to 1,380,645 in Osceola County. The percent of non-English language populations in the Counties crossed ranges from 3.4 percent in Brevard County to 18.4 percent in Orange County. Overall, the minority (or non-white) populations in the Counties crossed by the special permit segments range from 17.6 percent in Brevard County to 31.9 percent in Osceola County. The special permit will not disproportionately impact any minority, non-English language, or impoverished populations. As described in this application and the special permit conditions, FGT must apply alternative risk control measures to the thirteen (13) special permit segments to provide an acceptable margin of safety and environmental protection to meet the requirements of 49 CFR 192.611(a) and (d) and 192.619(a) as outlined in the special permit conditions. Implementing enhanced inspection and assessment practices throughout the inspection areas, in lieu of replacing the small sections of pipe experiencing the class location changes, extends pipeline safety benefits to a much greater area. In addition, avoiding pipe excavation, replacement and pressure testing will minimize costs to the operator, will avoid delivery interruptions and supply shortages, and avert environmental disturbance. Thus, the increased safety measures associated with the special permit will provide them with protection equivalent to 49 CFR 192.611(a) and (d) and 192.619.

Notes: a 2013-2017 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, U.S Census Bureau b Based on all people (i.e., all age groups) Geology and Soils: The general characteristics of the special permit segments consist of relatively flat terrain and gently sloping highlands, with few natural geologic exposures. The special permit segments are in the Atlantic Plain physiographic region of the U.S. Most of the special permit segments located in peninsular Florida will traverse the Gulf Coastal Lowlands.

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 27Major Land Resource Areas (MLRAs) are geographically associated land resource units, usually encompassing several thousand acres, characterized by a particular pattern of soils, geology, climate, water resources, and land uses. The special permit segments/inspection areas cross the following MLRAs: • South-Central Florida Ridge (Lake County); • Southern Florida Flatwoods (Osceola, Orange, and part of Brevard County); and • Southern Florida Lowlands (part of Brevard County). In the South-Central Florida Ridge MLRA the soils are generally are very deep, excessively drained to somewhat poorly drained, and loamy or sandy. Within the Southern Florida Flatwoods MLRA the soils are deep or very deep, poorly drained, or very poorly drained, and loamy or sandy. In the Southern Florida Lowlands, soils are deep or very deep, poorly drained, or very poorly drained, and loamy or sandy (USDA NRCS, 2019). The objective of the special permit is to avoid construction or ground disturbances in the pipeline ROW that would be necessitated if the special permit was not granted. Therefore, the issuance of the requested special permit will not result in soils impacts to the affected special permit segments or special permit inspection areas. Furthermore, no changes to geologic conditions will occur. Denial of the special permit request would require the replacement and pressure testing of all the pipeline segments associated with this special permit request. Pipe replacement would require vegetation clearing, removal of the existing pipe and installation of a new pipe. The removal of the vegetative cover and ground disturbance exposes soils to the effects of wind and water which increases the potential for soil erosion and the transport of sediment to sensitive resource areas. Furthermore, pressure testing would also expose the soil to water which increases the potential for soil erosion and transport of sediment to sensitive areas along the pipeline ROW. Mineral Resources: Florida’s mineral commodities include limestone, sand, gravel, clay, heavy minerals, phosphate, and peat. The special permit segments are located along FGT’s existing pipeline system and do not cross any areas mined for mineral resources. Seismic Hazards: Seismic hazards include earthquakes, surface faulting, and soil liquefaction. The U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS’s) National Earthquake Hazard Program has developed a PHMSA-2020-0001 – Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact - Florida Page 27 of 91#

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 28series of maps that depict the estimated probability for seismic hazards. The Program’s National Seismic Hazard Maps are derived from seismic hazard curves calculated on a grid of sites across the U.S. that describe the annual frequency of exceeding a set of ground motions. Based on the latest long-term model, 2014, the special permit inspection areas are characterized as falling into the category of the lowest hazard potential (USGS, 2014). The USGS has also produced a 2018 one-year (short-term) probabilistic seismic hazard forecast for the central and eastern U.S. from induced and natural earthquakes. Again, the special permit inspection areas fall within the category of lowest potential with a less than 1-percent chance of potentially minor-damage ground shaking in 2018 (USGS, 2018). The low seismic risk in the project special segments and inspection areas is also a limiting factor for liquefaction to occur. As a result, the likelihood of soil liquefaction to occur in the special permit inspection areas is low. Subsidence: Ground subsidence is the local downward movement of surface material with little or no horizontal movement. Karst is a landscape formed by the dissolution of soluble bedrock that is conducive to land subsidence that exists in many areas in Florida. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Map Direct database includes a public mapping spatial data library with locational information on known subsidence incidents. Review of FDEP’s subsidence database indicates no karst features are located within 500 feet of the special permit segments (FDEP, 2019). Indian Trust Assets: Any work associated with the special permit segments will have no impact on Native Americans or any land owned or otherwise administered by Native American tribes. The scope and duration of this project will have little to no effect or impact on the socioeconomics in the vicinity of this project. No tribal land exists along the special permit segments thus tribal coordination is not required. Land Use: Land use within the special permit segments consists of maintained pipeline ROW. Land use adjacent to the ROW in the vicinity of the special permit segments includes forest, agriculture, open space, wetland and waterbodies, and residential/industrial land. The objective of the special permit is to avoid or minimize construction or ground disturbances in the pipeline ROW that will be necessitated if the special permit was not granted. Therefore, PHMSA-2020-0001 – Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact - Florida Page 28 of 91#

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 29this special permit request will not impact land use or planning. Further, FGT will avoid disturbing the adjacent property owners to the pipeline ROW. Any inspection activities associated with the special permit segments and special permit inspection areas will be conducted within the boundaries of FGT’s existing aboveground facilities (i.e., compressor station and regulator stations) and maintained pipeline ROW. Therefore, this special permit will not require permitting above and beyond what is required for normal pipeline operation and maintenance activities. However, if the special permit request is not granted, then pipe replacement and pressure testing would be required, which would disturb land uses adjacent to the special permit segments. Noise: Noise levels will not change in the special permit segments or the special permit inspection areas as a result of the approval of this special permit request. Therefore, the scope and duration of any activities associated with the special permit segments will have little to no impact on noise levels in the vicinity of the pipeline. However, if the special permit request is not granted then pipe replacement and pressure testing would be required, which would result in temporary increases in noise during construction of these activities. Maintenance activities associated with the special permit conditions may result in minimal and temporary noise impacts. However, it is anticipated that these noise impacts will be much less than the replacement of the affected pipeline segments. Recreation: The special permit segments are not located in a designated State, county or local park, recreation area, state forest campground or wildlife management area. The scope and duration of any activities associated with the special permit segments would have little to no impact on recreation in the vicinity of the pipeline. Safety: Class locations are based upon the population (dwellings for human occupancy) within a “class location unit”, which is defined as an onshore area that extends 220 yards on either side of the centerline of any continuous 1-mile of pipeline. These locations are determined by surveying the pipeline for population growth. More conservative safety factors are required as the number of dwellings for human occupancy (population growth) increase near the pipeline. Pipeline operators must conduct surveys and document population growth within 220 yards on either side of the pipeline. A higher population along the pipeline may trigger any of the PHMSA-2020-0001 – Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact - Florida Page 29 of 91#

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 30following for the pipeline segment with the higher population: A reduced MAOP, a new pressure test at a higher pressure, or new pipe with either or both heavier walled or higher-grade pipe. The special permit conditions are designed to identify and mitigate integrity issues that could threaten the special permit segments and cause pipeline failure. The effect of the monitoring and maintenance requirements in the special permit conditions will ensure the integrity of the pipe and protection of the population living near the special permit segment to a similar degree of a lower MAOP, new pressure test, or a thicker walled or higher-grade pipe without the enhanced IM protections. The safety risk with respect to this request for a special permit focuses on maintaining the integrity of the pipeline and on the risk it poses to the increased population to mitigate a failure of this pipeline. Granting this special permit does not increase the PIR, which is defined in 49 CFR 192.903 as the radius of a circle within which the potential failure of a pipeline could have significant impact on people or property of the pipeline. However, the risk from the increased human population around the pipeline would be mitigated through increased IMP. The special permit requires IM inspections for special permit inspection areas adjacent to the special permit segments, which would lower the risk in the special permit inspection areas and beyond. FGT would implement the special permit conditions in the special permit inspection areas for the duration of the special permit, and PHMSA would oversee compliance. Performance of the conditions in the special permit provides an equivalent or greater level of safety for the public and environment and imposes no additional safety risks as a result of the waived regulation. As already noted, all of the special permit segments included under the special permit would be treated as HCAs with the additional risk analysis and remedial activities associated with this designation. The special permit also includes a number of conditions that address potential safety risks. Among these are incorporation of these segments into the FGT Integrity Management Program, close interval corrosion surveys, implementation of a cathodic protection reliability improvement plan, an ILI program with intervals not to exceed seven (7) years, anomaly evaluation and repair meeting more stringent criteria, additional testing and remediation of interference currents caused by induced alternating current sources, pipe seam PHMSA-2020-0001 – Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact - Florida Page 30 of 91#

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 31evaluations, criteria for the identification of pipe properties, installation of line-of-sight markers and the integration of all inspection and remediation data. The consequences of a natural gas release would not be impacted as a result of the special permit and the potential for such an event is expected to be less likely with the added safety programs noted above. However, if PHMSA denied the special permit request and FGT opted to lower the pressure, the PIR would be smaller in the event of a pipeline failure. FGT notes its contractual obligations would not allow for a lowering of pressure and FGT would need to replace the existing pipeline. As compared to current operation, the PIR as calculated in accordance with 49 CFR 192.903 would not change under the special permit since maximum operating pressure and pipe diameter will not change, thus there would be no additional impact on the public. Operation under the special permit conditions that provides an additional level of safety is expected to have a positive impact on pipeline longevity and reliability. Socioeconomics: This special permit is not situated in, or disproportionately impact, any predominantly low-income populations. The population characteristics for the Counties crossed by the special permit segments are shown in Table 5. Based on U.S. Census data, the 2013- 2017 average population for the Counties crossed by the special permit segments range from 297,052 in Lake County to 1,380,645 in Osceola County. The percent of population in poverty in the Counties crossed ranges from 9.4 percent in Brevard County to 15.3 percent in Osceola County (U.S. Census, 2019). The objective of the special permit is to avoid construction or ground disturbances in the pipeline ROW that would be necessitated if the special permit was not granted. As described in the special permit, FGT must apply alternative risk control measures to the thirteen (13) special permit segments to provide an acceptable margin of safety and environmental protection to meet the requirements of 49 CFR 192.611 and 192.619 as outlined in the special permit conditions. Implementing enhanced inspection and assessment practices throughout the inspection areas, in lieu of replacing the small sections of pipe experiencing the class location changes, extends pipeline safety benefits to a much greater area and thus will not have an adverse impact on the local population. In addition, avoiding pipe excavation, replacement, and pressure testing would PHMSA-2020-0001 – Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact - Florida Page 31 of 91#

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 32minimize costs to the operator, would avoid delivery interruptions and supply shortages, and avert environmental disturbance. Thus, the increased safety measures associated with the special permit would benefit local populations. Topography: The topography of the area surrounding the requested special permit segments is flat, open land. The general characteristics of the special permit segment project area consist of relatively flat terrain and gently sloping highlands. The topography of the special permit segments and the special permit inspection areas will not be changed by the approval of this special permit request. The objective of the special permit is to avoid construction or ground disturbances in the pipeline ROW that would be necessitated if the special permit was not granted. Denial of the special permit request would require the replacement and pressure testing of all the pipeline segments associated with this special permit request. Pipe replacement would require removal of the existing pipe and installation of a new pipe. Effects from construction could include disturbance of the natural topography along the pipeline ROW due to trenching and grading activities. Furthermore, pressure testing would also require disturbances along the pipeline ROW. However, following construction, all areas would be restored as close as practicable to their preconstruction contours. Transportation: If the special permit segments need to be accessed to perform required tasked under the special permit, existing ROW access points will be used. The special pemrit will not increase traffic or require additional roads to be constructed or more frequently maintained. The objective of the special permit is to avoid construction or ground disturbances in the pipeline ROW that would be necessitated if the special permit was not granted. Water Resources: According to USFWS National Wetland Inventory (NWI) mapping data, three (3) special permit segments cross wetlands and one (1) special permit segment crosses a perennial waterbody (canal/ditch) (USFWS, 2019b). Palustrine emergent wetlands (PEM) are located within the existing maintained pipeline ROW. Palustrine forested (PFO) wetlands are located adjacent to the existing pipeline ROW. Table 6 lists the wetlands and waterbodies crossed by the special permit segments.

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 33The objective of the special permit is to avoid or minimize construction or ground disturbance in the pipeline ROW. Therefore, wetlands and waterbodies along the special permit segments and special permit inspection areas would undergo less disturbance if the special permit is granted. Some disturbance could occur to more rigorous maintenance and repair activities. However, if the special permit request was not granted then pipe replacement and pressure testing would be required, which would disturb wetlands and waterbodies to a greater extent along the special permit segments identified in Table 6 during construction. Furthermore, pressure testing would potentially require withdrawal of hydrostatic test water from surface water sources which could temporarily affect the biological use of the waterbody if the diversion were to constitute a large percentage of the source's total flow or volume. Potential impacts resulting from the discharge of hydrostatic test waters to upland areas would generally be limited to erosion of soils.

The deeper Floridan aquifer system is the primary source of drinking water for central Florida. Wellhead protection areas have been established by the FDEP to protect drinking water supplies. FGT searched FDEP Map Direct to identify Protected Source Waters. No state- designated well-head protection areas are crossed by the special permit segments (FDEP, 2019). The EPA defines a sole source aquifer as where the aquifer supplies at least 50 percent of the drinking water for its service area; and there are no reasonably available alternative drinking PHMSA-2020-0001 – Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact - Florida Page 33 of 91#

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 34water sources should the aquifer become contaminated. There are no EPA sole source aquifers located within the vicinity of the special permit segments. Aquifers will not be disturbed if the special permit is granted, although temporary and targeted excavations may occur to comply with increased maintenance and repair activities. However, if the special permit request is not granted then pipe replacement and pressure testing would be required, which could temporarily disturb the surficial aquifer system to a much greater extent during construction. B. Comparative Environmental Impacts of Alternatives The special permit requires FGT to increase IM inspections for pipeline inspection areas adjacent to the special permit segments, which would lower the risk in areas beyond the special permit segments. FGT must conduct IM type procedures (conditions in the special permit) on the special permit inspection areas as defined in the special permit. FGT will implement the conditions in special permit inspection areas for the duration of the special permit. As PHMSA recognized in its June 29, 2004, Federal Register Notice (69 FR 38948), implementing additional preventative and mitigative measures enables a pipeline operator to improve its knowledge and understanding of the pipeline’s integrity, accelerate the identification and repair of actionable anomalies, and better manage and mitigate threats to the public and environment. Implementing enhanced inspection and assessment practices throughout the special permit segments and special permit inspection areas, in lieu of replacing small segments of pipe experiencing the class location change, extends pipeline safety benefits to a much greater area along the pipeline. In addition, avoiding pipe excavation and replacement will minimize costs to the operator, will avoid delivery interruptions and supply shortages, and avert environmental disturbance. While the special permit avoids the full replacement of affected pipe, the special permit conditions require monitoring and maintenance that could lead to minor excavations and repair or replacement of some pipe. The effect of the monitoring and maintenance requirements in the special permit conditions will ensure the integrity of the pipe and protection of the population living near the special permit segments to a similar degree of a lower MAOP, new pressure test, or a thicker walled or higher-grade pipe without the enhanced IM protections.

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 35Performance of the special permit conditions provides an equivalent level of safety for the public and environment; and imposes no additional safety risks as a result of the waived regulation. As already noted, all the special permit segments included in the special permit will be treated as HCAs with the additional risk analysis and remedial activities associated with this designation. The special permit also includes a number of conditions that address potential safety risks. In the event that PHMSA denied the special permit, it would have no authority to decide whether FGT achieved full compliance with 49 CFR Part 192 through pressure reduction or pipeline segment replacement. Nonetheless, FGT reports that its contractual obligations would not allow the operating pressure of the pipe to be lowered. Thus, the PIR of a pipeline failure will be the same whether the pipe operates under a special permit, is replaced, or pressure tested. Likewise, human safety as a result of pipeline failure would not be affected differently under either the action or no-action alternatives. Furthermore, the special permit enhanced IM conditions are designed to identify and mitigate integrity issues that could threaten the special permit segments and cause failure. FGT will evaluate the potential environmental consequences and affected resources of land disturbances and adjacent waterbody impacts caused by construction activities (including adding, modifying, replacing, or removing any facility) associated with any FGT activity. These activities are regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and are subject to Federal, State, and local environmental authorizations and require a review by FGT Environmental Services staff prior to the start of work, incorporation of environmental requirements into the project implementation, and ensuring outstanding (environmental) requirements are incorporated into facility operation. Approval of the special permit will have a positive impact to landowners and negligible, if any, environmental impact for the thirteen (13) special pipeline segments that do not require pressure testing or replacement. FGT will avoid disturbing the ROW of property owners except for the additional inspections that may be required to satisfy the conditions of the special permit such as those related to the IMP for HCAs, and potential anomaly evaluations/repairs. If the special permit was not granted, 49 CFR 192.611(a) and (d) and 192.619(a) would require pipe replacement and pressure testing. This would result in temporary disturbances to the natural PHMSA-2020-0001 – Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact - Florida Page 35 of 91#

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 36environment in the special permit segments. The consequences of any spill or release would not be changed as a result of the special permit and the potential for such an event is expected to be less likely with the added safety programs noted above.

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 37XII. Finding of No Significant Impact In consideration of the analysis and special permit conditions explained above, PHMSA finds that no significant negative impact will result from the issuance and full implementation of the above-described special permit to waive the requirements of 49 CFR 192.611(a) and (d) and 192.619(a) for thirteen (13) special permit segments, which consists of approximately 3.761 miles of 26-inch and 30-inch diameter pipelines located in Brevard, Lake, Orange, and Osceola Counties, Florida. This special permit will require FGT to implement the special conditions that apply to the operations, maintenance, and IM of the special permit segments and special permit inspection areas. XIII.

Peabody, “Peabody’s Control of Pipeline Corrosion,” second edition, “Criteria for Cathodic Protection.” “The 100mV polarization criterion should not be used in areas subject to stray current because 100 mV of polarization may not be sufficient to mitigate corrosion in these areas. This criterion also should not be used in areas where the intergranular form of external SCC, also referred to as high-pH or classical SCC is suspected. The potential range for cracking lies between the native potential and -850 mV (CSE) such that application of the 100mV polarization criterion may place the potential of the structure in the range for cracking.” 14 If remediation based upon the findings of the CIS is not practicable within 12 months of the CIS survey, FGT must submit a schedule and justify the delay 60 days prior to the 12-month completion requirement to the Director, PHMSA Southwest Region. FGT must receive a “no objection” letter from the Director, PHMSA Southwest Region, prior to a pipe coating remediation schedule extension.

FGT must compare previous indications to current indications that are significantly different. If a trend is identified where the tool has been consistently overcalling or under-calling, the remaining ILI features must be re- graded accordingly. ii) Unity Plots: The unity plots must show actual anomaly depth versus predicted depth. iii) ILI Tool Evaluations: ILI tool evaluations for metal loss must use “6t x 6t”35 interaction criteria for determining anomaly failure pressures and response timing. 32 ILI calibration for EMAT ILI Tools must be based upon excavation results of a minimum of the two (2) most severe anomalies from a combined review of crack depth and length. FGT can propose alternative EMAT ILI Tool evaluation procedures to the Director, PHMSA Southwest Region, but must receive a “no objection” letter prior to usage of these procedures. 33 ILI tool calibration excavations may include previously excavated anomalies or recent anomaly excavations with known dimensions that were field measured for length, depth, and width, externally re-coated, CP maintained, and documented for ILI calibrations prior to the ILI tool run. ILI tool calibrations must use ILI tool run results and anomaly calibrations from either the special permit inspection area or from the complete ILI tool run segment if the continuous ILI segment is longer than the special permit inspection area. A minimum of four (4) calibration excavations must be used for unity plots. 34 Other known and documented pipeline features that are appropriate for the type of ILI tool used may be used as calibration excavations for ILI tool calibration with technical documentation of their validity.

Florida Gas Transmission-SP Class 1 to 3-FL-FEA FONSI - 03-25-2022, page 70The flow model detection for a rupture must be based upon 0.500 times the pipe diameter area or smaller pipe area (partial pipe opening) for rupture sizing to account for pressure drop. If operating conditions change that could affect the ASV set pressures and the 30-minute isolation time after “notification of potential rupture,” a new flow model must be conducted and ASV set pressures must be reset prior to the next review for ASV set pressures. If the special permit segment cannot be isolated within 30 minutes of a “notification of potential rupture” by usage of ASVs, then RCVs must be installed. Table 4 – Valves and Lateral Locations with Isolation Methods has the ASV shutoff pressures and shutoff times for isolation of the special permit segment after “notification of potential rupture.” ii) ASVs must be equipped with rupture sensing equipment to detect the special permit segment “rate of pressure drop” with a set-point between 20 - 40 psig/minute or less unless FGT submits a request for a “rate of pressure drop” set-point change and receives a “no objection” letter from the Director, PHMSA Southwest Region, for any revised shut-in pressures prior to their implementation. iii) ASV shut-in pressures must be confirmed and reset on a calendar year basis not to exceed 15 months.
