SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FERC
is requesting comments on the FERC–
567,1 Gas Pipeline Certificates: Annual
Reports of System Flow Diagrams.
FERC–567 is an existing data collection
(OMB Control No. 1902–0005)
consisting of a set of filing requirements,
as contained in 18 CFR 260.8.
The information from the FERC–567
is used by the Commission staff to
obtain accurate data on pipeline
facilities and to validate the need for
new facilities proposed by pipelines in
certificate applications. In modeling a
pipeline applicant’s system,
Commission staff utilizes the FERC–567
data to determine configuration and
location of installed pipeline facilities;
verify and determine the receipt and
delivery points between shippers,
producers and pipeline companies;
determine the location of receipt and
delivery points and emergency
interconnections on a pipeline system;
determine the location of pipeline
segments, laterals and compressor
stations on a pipeline system; verify
pipeline segment lengths and pipeline
diameters; justify the maximum
allowable operating pressures and
suction and discharge pressures at
compressor stations; verify the installed
horsepower and volumes compressed at
each compressor station; determine the
existing shippers and producers
currently using each pipeline company;
and develop and evaluate alternatives to
the proposed facilities as a means to
mitigate environmental impact of new
pipeline construction.
18 CFR 260.8 requires each major
natural gas pipeline with a system
delivery capacity exceeding 100,000
Mcf per day to file, to submit by June
1 of each year, diagrams reflecting
operating conditions on the pipeline’s
main transmission system during the
previous 12 months ended December
31. These data are physical/engineering
data which are not included as part of
any other data collection requirement.
Action: The Commission is requesting
a three-year extension of the current
expiration date, with no change to the
existing requirements.1
Burden Statement: Annual reporting
burden for this collection is estimated

pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
The estimated annual cost burden 2 to
respondents is $807,747 (13,095.5
hours/2080 hours per year times
$128,297 per year average per employee
= $807,747). The estimated cost per
respondent is $8,593.
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 estimates 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,
1 FERC–567 was formerly known as ‘‘Gas Pipeline
Certificates: Annual Reports of System Flow
Diagrams and System Capacity’’. The capacity
reporting requirements under 18 CFR 284.13 had
been inadvertently included under both the FERC–
567 and the FERC–549B (‘‘Gas Pipeline Rates:
Capacity Information’’; OMB Control No. 1902–
0169). To correct the inadvertent ‘double-counting’,
the capacity reporting requirements under 18 CFR
284.13 are removed from FERC–567, and remain a
part of FERC–549B for the purpose of OMB
clearance. FERC–549B is not a subject of this
Notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
I. Background
II. Current Actions
III. Request for Comments
I. Background
The Federal Energy Administration
Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–275, 15 U.S.C.
761 et seq.) and the DOE Organization
Act (Pub. L. 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 EIA collects information about
the uranium fuel cycle for use by
VerDate Nov<24>2008
17:48 Apr 28, 2009
Jkt 217001
government and private sector analysts.
The survey information is disseminated
in a variety of electronic products and
files. For details on the EIA uranium
program, please visit the nuclear page of
the EIA Internet site at https://
www.eia.doe.gov/fuelnuclear.html.
II. Current Actions
The EIA proposes the following
changes:
For the EIA–851Q, EIA proposes no
changes to the data items.
For the EIA–851A the principal
change is the addition of Item 8,
Reserves Estimate. This new item
collects data on the amount of uranium
reserves on U.S properties. This item
will also collect location data on the
properties that hold uranium along with
data that collects how the resource data
was determined. Among the properties
for which this data will be collected are
active and inactive mines and properties
that can be developed for uranium
production. This change is not expected
to change the number of respondents
that currently complete the form.
This additional data should provide a
better understanding of the amount of
uranium reserves at properties that are
being actively worked and those that
can be developed for uranium
production. The reserves will be
grouped according to their forward cost
classification, which will provide
insight on the domestic reserves that
can be accessed under different uranium
price conditions.
For the EIA–858, the principal change
affects Item 2, Total Uranium
Inventories. This item is being separated
into two parts, A and B. In Item 2, Part
A, a new data element, location, is being
added to the Domestic-Origin and
Foreign-Origin fields to allow for a
better understanding of the physical
location of the inventory component.
Item 2, Part B, Import/Export Balance is
being added to determine the amount of
an inventory component that has been
imported and the amount that has been
exported so that a net domestic mass
balance can be determined. The benefit
of this change is to better understand
the material flow, including the size and
location of the materials along the
uranium processing chain. This data
should enable industry observers to
more accurately assess the quantity of
uranium transfers into, out of, and
within the U.S.
III. Request for Comments
Prospective respondents and other
interested parties should comment on
the proposals discussed in Item II. The
following guidelines are provided to
assist in the preparation of comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
II. Current Actions
III. Request for Comments
I. Background
The Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93-275, 15
U.S.C. 761 et seq.) and the DOE Organization Act (Pub. L. 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 EIA collects information about the uranium fuel cycle for use
by government and private sector analysts. The survey information is
disseminated in a variety of electronic products and files. For details
on the EIA uranium program, please visit the nuclear page of the EIA
Internet site at https://www.eia.doe.gov/fuelnuclear.html.
II. Current Actions
The EIA proposes the following changes:
For the EIA-851Q, EIA proposes no changes to the data items.
For the EIA-851A the principal change is the addition of Item 8,
Reserves Estimate. This new item collects data on the amount of uranium
reserves on U.S properties. This item will also collect location data
on the properties that hold uranium along with data that collects how
the resource data was determined. Among the properties for which this
data will be collected are active and inactive mines and properties
that can be developed for uranium production. This change is not
expected to change the number of respondents that currently complete
the form.
This additional data should provide a better understanding of the
amount of uranium reserves at properties that are being actively worked
and those that can be developed for uranium production. The reserves
will be grouped according to their forward cost classification, which
will provide insight on the domestic reserves that can be accessed
under different uranium price conditions.
For the EIA-858, the principal change affects Item 2, Total Uranium
Inventories. This item is being separated into two parts, A and B. In
Item 2, Part A, a new data element, location, is being added to the
Domestic-Origin and Foreign-Origin fields to allow for a better
understanding of the physical location of the inventory component. Item
2, Part B, Import/Export Balance is being added to determine the amount
of an inventory component that has been imported and the amount that
has been exported so that a net domestic mass balance can be
determined. The benefit of this change is to better understand the
material flow, including the size and location of the materials along
the uranium processing chain. This data should enable industry
observers to more accurately assess the quantity of uranium transfers
into, out of, and within the U.S.
III. Request for Comments
Prospective respondents and other interested parties should comment
on the proposals discussed in Item II. The following guidelines are
provided to assist in the preparation of comments. Please indicate the
