I. Background
II. Current Actions
III. Request for Comments
I. Background
The Federal Energy Administration
Act of 1974 (Pub. L. No. 93–275, 15
U.S.C. 761 et seq.) and the DOE
Organization Act (Pub. L. No. 95–91, 42
U.S.C. 7101 et seq.) require the EIA to
carry out a centralized, comprehensive,
and unified energy information
program. This program collects,
evaluates, assembles, analyzes, and
disseminates information on energy
resource reserves, production, demand,
technology, and related economic and
statistical information. This information
is used to assess the adequacy of energy
resources to meet near and longer term
domestic demands.
The EIA, as part of its effort to comply
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. 3501, et
seq.), provides the general public and
other Federal agencies with
opportunities to comment on collections
of energy information conducted by or
in conjunction with the EIA. Any
comments received help the EIA to
prepare data requests that maximize the
utility of the information collected, and
to assess the impact of collection
requirements on the public. Also, the
EIA will later seek approval by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) under Section 3507(a) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
The proposed form, ‘‘Survey of
Natural Gas Processing Plants,’’ will
collect information from processing
plant operators that will be used to
monitor their operational status and
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:36 Jan 29, 2007
Jkt 211001
4249
assess operations of processing plants
during a period when natural gas
supplies are disrupted. The activation,
selection of respondents, and frequency
of the survey collection will be
determined based on the location and
severity of the supply disruption. For
those processing plants whose
operations have been disrupted,
information about plant damage and the
anticipated schedule of plant recovery
will be collected. The data collected
will be aggregated and used to develop
measures of current processing activity
and expected plant recovery in the
disrupted area. The aggregate statistics
will be used to inform the public,
industry, and the government about the
status of supply and delivery activities
in the area affected by the disruption.
The proposed form, ‘‘Survey of
Natural Gas Processing Plants,’’ will
consist of two schedules: Schedule A is
a ‘‘Baseline Report’’ and Schedule B is
the ‘‘Emergency Status Report.’’ The
Baseline Report will collect information
about processing plant characteristics
and operator contact information, prior
to any supply disruption. The
information gathered in the Baseline
Report, will be used to develop the
sample of companies to survey using the
Emergency Status Report. It is expected
that information in the ‘‘Baseline
Report’’ would be collected once to
determine the baseline processing
capacities of the processing plants.
Depending upon the utility of the data
and the availability of alternative data
sources for updating the plant capacity
measures, the baseline report may be
collected once every three years. The
Emergency Status Report will only be
implemented if there is a supply
disruption.
The information reported on both
schedules of the proposed form ‘‘Survey
of Natural Gas Processing Plants,’’ will
be protected and not disclosed to the
public to the extent that it satisfies the
criteria for exemption under the
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5
U.S.C. 552, the DOE regulations
implementing the FOIA, 10 CFR
1004.11, and the Trade Secrets Act, 18
U.S.C. 1905. The EIA will protect the
information in accordance with its
confidentiality and security policies and
procedures.
‘‘Baseline Report’’ will collect
information at least once from all
natural gas processing plants about
plant characteristics and operator
contact information, and may continue
to collect that information every three
years. The ‘‘Emergency Status Report’’
will be a standby form that will only be
activated during an energy emergency
situation. EIA will notify OMB for
approval prior to activating Schedule B
and collecting any information. When
Schedule B is activated, it is expected
that the data collection on Schedule B
will be temporary and the frequency of
the data collection (e.g., daily or weekly)
will be determined at that time based on
a number of factors including the
severity of the emergency and the
number of plants affected.
Data will be used to monitor energy
supply in the area(s) with outages to the
natural gas processing plants.
Respondents to Schedule B will be
natural gas processing plants in the
affected area(s) of the United States
where a supply disruption occurred.
Information collected will include:
Plant characteristics and contact
information, plant operation capacity
and utilization (pre-event and current),
plant operating constraints and plant
restoration. The information may be
collected by phone, fax, or e-mail,
depending upon the preference of the
respondent.
II. Current Actions
EIA is proposing a new, mandatory
survey, ‘‘Survey of Natural Gas

AES Sparrows Point seeks
authorization to site, construct and
operate a new LNG import terminal
LNG Terminal, with an initial delivery
capacity of 1.5 billion cubic feet per day
of natural gas, to be located at the
Sparrows Point industrial complex in
Baltimore County, Maryland. AES
Sparrows Point’s proposed LNG
Terminal would be located on an about
80 acre parcel located at the Sparrows
Point industrial complex, which is
situated on the Sparrows Point
peninsula extending into the
Chesapeake Bay east of the Port of
Baltimore. The LNG Terminal would
include facilities to receive LNG from
ocean-going LNG ships, store the LNG
onshore in full-containment tanks, revaporize the LNG, and then deliver
pipeline quality natural gas to the MidAtlantic Express pipeline.
Mid-Atlantic Express seeks
authorization to construct and operate
an 88-mile natural gas pipeline that will
transport regasified LNG from the
Terminal to interconnections with three
existing interstate pipelines in the
vicinity of Eagle, Pennsylvania. MidAtlantic Express conducted an open
season for firm transportation capacity
on its proposed pipeline and AES MidAtlantic LNG Marketing, LLC, an
affiliate of Mid-Atlantic Express,
submitted a bid for the entire capacity
of the Pipeline and was accepted as the
sole customer of the project at this
point. Mid-Atlantic Express estimates
that the cost of its pipeline facilities will
be about $415 million. The details of
Mid-Atlantic Express’s proposed
transportation services and the
derivation of the initial recourse rates
for those services are shown in Exhibit
P of Mid-Atlantic Express’s filing.
AES Sparrows Point and Mid-Atlantic
Express propose to commence service in
