classification or service to go into effect
upon motion of the jurisdictional gas
pipeline at the expiration of the
suspension period or upon receipt of the
motion, whichever is later.
Formal rate change filings (FERC–544)
are suspended and set for hearing.
When the NGA section 4(e) filing is
suspended, the rate becomes the subject
of a hearing process and may go into
effect subject to refund with interest. All
suspended filings that go through the
hearing process are considered formal
cases and an investigation is instituted
to determine the reasonableness of the
rate filing. If the rates and charges are
deemed unjust, unreasonable or unduly
discriminatory, the appropriate rate,
charge or service condition is
ascertained. The formal proceeding is
terminated by the issuance of a final
Commission order.
Action: The Commission is requesting
a three-year extension of the current
expiration date, with no changes to the
existing collection of data.
Burden Statement: Public reporting
burden for this collection is estimated
as:

Estimated cost burden to respondents
is $248,486,990. (50,413 hours/2080
hours per year times $117,321 per year
average per employee = $ 2,843,511).
The cost per respondent is $258,501).
The reporting burden includes the
total time, effort, or financial resources
expended to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
including: (1) Reviewing instructions;
(2) developing, acquiring, installing, and
utilizing technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating,
verifying, processing, maintaining,
disclosing and providing information;
(3) adjusting the existing ways to
comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; (4)
training personnel to respond to a
collection of information; (5) searching
data sources; (6) completing and
reviewing the collection of information;
and (7) transmitting, or otherwise
disclosing the information.
The estimate of cost for respondents
is based upon salaries for professional
and clerical support, as well as direct
and indirect overhead costs. Direct costs
include all costs directly attributable to
providing this information, such as
administrative costs and the cost for
information technology. Indirect or
overhead costs are costs incurred by an
organization in support of its mission.
These costs apply to activities, which
benefit the whole organization rather
than any one particular function or
activity.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the Commission,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
the agency’s estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and

clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology
e.g. permitting electronic submission of
responses.

On November 30, 2005, the
Commission staff granted Algonquin’s
request to utilize the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) PreFiling Process and assigned Docket No.
PF06–5–000 to staff activities involving
the Ramapo Expansion Project. Now, as
of the filing of this application on March
1, 2006, the NEPA Pre-Filing Process for
this project has ended. From this time
forward, this proceeding will be
conducted in Docket No. CP06–76–000,
as noted in the caption of this Notice.
There are two ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this project. First, any person wishing to
obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceedings for this project
should, on or before the comment date
listed below, file with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426,
a motion to intervene in accordance
with the requirements of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)
and the Regulations under the NGA (18
CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list
maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies of
all documents filed by the applicant and
by all other parties. A party must submit
14 copies of this filing and all
subsequent filings made with the
Commission and must mail a copy of all
filing to the applicant and to every other
party in the proceeding. Only parties to
the proceeding can ask for court review
of Commission orders in the proceeding.
However, other persons do not have
to intervene in order to have comments
considered. The second way to
participate is by filing with the
Secretary of the Commission, as soon as
possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition
to this project. The Commission will
consider these comments in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken, but the filing of a comment alone
will not serve to make the filer a party
to the proceeding. The Commission’s
rules require that persons filing
comments in opposition to this project
provide copies of their protests only to
the party or parties directly involved in
the protest.
Persons may also wish to comment
further only on the environmental
review of this project. Environmental
commenters will be placed on the
Commission’s environmental mailing
list, will receive copies of
environmental documents issued by the
Commission, and will be notified of
VerDate Aug<31>2005

meetings associated with the
Commission’s environmental review
process. Those persons, organizations,
and agencies who submitted comments
during the NEPA Pre-Filing Process in
Docket No. PF06–5–000 are already on
the Commission staff’s environmental
mailing list for the proceeding in the
above dockets and may file additional
comments on or before the below listed
comment date. Environmental
commenters will not be required to
serve copies of filed documents on all
other parties. However, environmental
commenters are also not parties to the
proceeding and will not receive copies
of all documents filed by other parties
or non-environmental documents issued
by the Commission. Further, they will
not have the right to seek court review
of any final order by Commission in this
proceeding.
The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings of comments, protests,
and interventions via the Internet in lieu
of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii)
and the instructions on the
Commission’s Web site (https://
