Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 133 / Tuesday, July 12, 2016 / Notices
23(b) requires that any person intending
to construct project works on such
waters must file a declaration of their
intention with the Commission. If the
Commission finds the proposed project
will have an impact on interstate or
foreign commerce, then the entity
intending to construct the project must
obtain a Commission license or
exemption before starting construction.7
The information is collected in the form
of a written application, containing
sufficient details to allow the
Commission staff to research the
jurisdictional aspects of the project.
This research includes examining maps
and land ownership records to establish
whether or not there is Federal
jurisdiction over the lands and waters
affected by the project. A finding of nonjurisdictional by the Commission
eliminates a substantial paperwork
burden for the applicant who might
otherwise have to file for a license or
exemption application. The
Commission implements these filing
requirements under 18 CFR part 24.
Type of Respondents: Persons
intending to construct project works on
certain waters described above.
Estimate of Annual Burden: The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden for the information
collection as:

Hinshaw Exemption
OMB Control No.: 1902–0116.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–574 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The Commission uses the
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–574 to
implement the statutory provisions of
sections 1(c), 4 and 7 of the Natural Gas
Act (NGA).8 Natural gas pipeline
companies file applications with the
Commission furnishing information in
order to facilitate a determination of an
applicant’s qualification for an
exemption under the provisions of the
section 1(c). If the Commission grants
exemption, the natural gas pipeline
company is not required to file
certificate applications, rate schedules,
or any other applications or forms
prescribed by the Commission.
The exemption applies to companies
engaged in the transportation, sale, or
resale of natural gas in interstate
commerce if: (a) They receive gas at or
within the boundaries of the state from
another person at or within the
boundaries of that state; (b) such gas is
ultimately consumed in such state; (c)
the rates, service and facilities of such
company are subject to regulation by a
State Commission; and (d) that such
State Commission is exercising that
jurisdiction. 18 CFR part 152 specifies
the data required to be filed by pipeline
companies for an exemption.
Type of Respondents: Pipeline
companies.
Estimate of Annual Burden: The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden for the information
collection as:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
A. Does this action apply to me?
This action is directed to the public
in general. As such, the Agency has not

II. What action is the agency taking?
This document provides receipt and

Agency has received under TSCA
section 5 during this time period.
III. What is the Agency’s authority for
taking this action?
Under TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.,
EPA classifies a chemical substance as
either an ‘‘existing’’ chemical or a
‘‘new’’ chemical. Any chemical
substance that is not on EPA’s TSCA
Inventory is classified as a ‘‘new
chemical,’’ while those that are on the
TSCA Inventory are classified as an
‘‘existing chemical.’’ For more
information about the TSCA Inventory
go to: https://www.epa.gov/opptintr/
newchems/pubs/inventory.htm.
Anyone who plans to manufacture or
import a new chemical substance for a
non-exempt commercial purpose is
required by TSCA section 5 to provide
EPA with a PMN, before initiating the
activity. Section 5(h)(1) of TSCA
authorizes EPA to allow persons, upon
application, to manufacture (includes
import) or process a new chemical
substance, or a chemical substance
subject to a significant new use rule
(SNUR) issued under TSCA section 5(a),
for ‘‘test marketing’’ purposes, which is
referred to as a test marketing
exemption, or TME. For more
information about the requirements
applicable to a new chemical go to:
https://www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems.
Under TSCA sections 5(d)(2) and
5(d)(3), EPA is required to publish in
the Federal Register a notice of receipt
of a PMN or an application for a TME
and to publish in the Federal Register
periodic reports on the status of new
chemicals under review and the receipt
of NOCs to manufacture those
chemicals.
