activities for the next 10 years, and lead
to a net savings through 2030 of 15
billion dollars.
Accelerated construction of a CNPC
would not allow NNSA to avoid
immediate expenditures to restore and
modernize interim production
capabilities to meet essential Life
Extension Program (LEP) schedules and
support the existing stockpile during the
next decade. LEP is the refurbishment of
nuclear weapons parts and components
to extend the weapon deployment life.
NNSA has concluded that the SEAB
Task Force underestimated the
nonfinancial challenges of constructing
a CNPC. A CNPC would require moving
a unique and highly skilled workforce to
a new location. It would require NNSA
to obtain significant regulatory
approvals rapidly, and to construct a
unique and complex facility on a tight
schedule. It would put many of the
significant aspects of the weapons
complex transformation into ‘‘one
basket’’—until the CNPC began
operations, all the other facilities and
activities would be delayed. NNSA’s
Proposed Action would achieve many of
the benefits of the CNPC approach—
consolidation of SNM and facilities,
integrated R&D and production
involving SNM, and aggressive
dismantlements—in a way that
addresses immediate national security
needs in a technically feasible and
affordable manner.
Nuclear Materials Consolidation: DOE
is pursuing SNM consolidation from all
DOE sites including those that comprise
the nuclear weapons complex. The SEIS
will look at alternatives for the storage
and consolidation of nuclear materials
within the nuclear weapons complex
including materials needed to maintain
the United States’ nuclear weapons
arsenal. There is a potential overlap
between the SEIS and the activities of
the Department’s other nuclear
materials consolidation activities, and
DOE will ensure that there is
appropriate coordination between the
two activities.
Supplemental Programmatic
Environmental Impact Statement on
Stockpile Stewardship and Management
for a Modern Pit Facility: NNSA issued
a Draft Supplemental Programmatic
Environmental Impact Statement on
Stockpile Stewardship and Management
for a Modern Pit Facility (MPF) on June
4, 2003 (68 FR 33487; also 68 FR 33934,
June 6, 2003) that analyzed alternatives
for producing the plutonium pits that
are an essential component of nuclear
weapons. On January 28, 2004, NNSA
announced that it was indefinitely
postponing any decision on how it
would obtain a large capacity pit

manufacturing facility. Because the
Complex 2030 SEIS will analyze
alternatives for plutonium-related
activities that include pit production,
DOE, effective upon publication of this
NOI, cancels the MPF PEIS.
Public Scoping Process: The scoping
process is an opportunity for the public
to assist the NNSA in determining the
issues for analysis. NNSA will hold
public scoping meetings at locations
identified in this NOI. The purpose of
these meetings is to provide the public
with an opportunity to present oral and
written comments, ask questions, and
discuss concerns regarding the
transformation of the nuclear weapons
complex and the SEIS with NNSA
officials. Comments and
recommendations can also be
communicated to NNSA as discussed
earlier in this notice.
Complex 2030 PEIS Supplement
Preparation Process: The SEIS
preparation process begins with the
publication of this NOI in the Federal
Register. NNSA will consider all public
comments that it receives during the
public comment period in preparing the
draft SEIS. NNSA expects to issue the
draft SEIS for public review during the
summer of 2007. Public comments on
the draft SEIS will be received during a
comment period of at least 45 days
following the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency’s publication of the
Notice of Availability in the Federal
Register. Notices placed in local
newspapers will specify dates and
locations for public hearings on the
draft SEIS and will establish a schedule
for submitting comments on the draft
SEIS, including a final date for
submission of comments. Issuance of
the final SEIS is scheduled for 2008.
Classified Material: NNSA will review
classified material while preparing the
SEIS. Within the limits of classification,
NNSA will provide the public as much
information as possible to assist its
understanding and ability to comment.
Any classified material needed to
explain the purpose and need for the
action, or the analyses in the SEIS, will
be segregated into a classified appendix
or supplement, which will not be
available for public review. However, all
unclassified information or results of
calculations using classified data will be
reported in the unclassified section of
the SEIS, to the extent possible in
accordance with federal classification
requirements.

of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(Pub. L. 104–13), the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission) is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–538 ‘‘Gas
Pipeline Certificates: Initial Service
(OMB No. 1902–0061) is used by the
Commission to implement the statutory
provisions of sections 7(a), 10(a) and 16
of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (Pub. L.
75–688) (15 U.S.C. 717–717w). The
reporting requirements contained in this
collection of information are used by the
Commission to determine whether a
distributor applicant can economically
construct and manage its facilities.
Requests are made to the Commission
by individuals or entities to have the
Commission, by order, direct a natural
gas pipeline to extend or improve its
transportation facilities, and sell gas to
an individual, entity or municipality for
the specific purpose indicated in the
order, and to extend the pipeline’s
transportation facilities to communities
immediately adjacent to the
municipality’s facilities or to territories
served by the natural gas company. In
addition, the Commission reviews the
supply data to determine if the pipeline
company can provide the service
without curtailing certain of its existing
customers. The flow data and market
data are also used to evaluate existing
and future customer requirements on
the system to find if sufficient capacity
will be available. Likewise, the cost of
facilities and the rate data are used to
evaluate the financial impact of the cost
of the project to both the pipeline
company and its customers. The
Commission implements these filing
requirements in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR part
156.
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:
Number of responses per
respondent

response

The estimated total cost to
respondents is $13,537 (240 hours
divided by 2,080 hours per employee
per year times $117,321 per year average
salary (including overhead) per
employee = $13,537 (rounded off)).
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,

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.
