climate is unequivocal, and that
warming is very likely attributable to
increases in atmospheric greenhouse
gases (GHGs) caused by human
activities (anthropogenic).4 The release
of anthropogenic GHGs and their
potential contribution to global warming
are inherently cumulative phenomena.
The Fourth Assessment Report indicates
that changes in many physical and
biological systems, such as increases in
global temperatures, more frequent heat
waves, rising sea levels, coastal
flooding, loss of wildlife habitat, spread
of infectious disease, and other potential
environmental impacts are linked to
changes in the climate system, and that
some changes could be irreversible.
GHGs, which include carbon dioxide
(CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide
(N2O), are chemical compounds in the
Earth’s atmosphere that trap heat. Of
these gases, CO2 is recognized by the
IPCC as the primary GHG affecting
climate change. Present atmospheric
concentrations of CO2 are believed to be
higher than at any time in at least the
last 650,000 years, primarily as a result
of combustion of fossil fuels. It is also
very likely that observed increases in
CH4 are partially due to fossil fuel use,
according to the IPCC Report.
The energy produced by the Modified
Wind Project facilities would be free of
both GHG emissions and other air
pollutants. The project would generate
electrical power from a renewable
source of energy (wind) representing an
alternative to carbon-emitting fossil
fuels. Accordingly, as compared with
regional electrical generation mix, the
project will avoid 1,215,991 tons of CO2
per year, equivalent to the annual
greenhouse gas emissions of 212,141
passenger vehicles. Nonetheless, the
project would unavoidably produce
some greenhouse gas emissions through
activities such as project construction
and transportation. These emissions
would be extremely small compared to
the 8,026 million tons of CO2-equivalent
greenhouse gases emitted in the U.S. in
2007,5 and the 54 billion tons of CO2equivalent anthropogenic greenhouse
gases emitted globally in 2004.
However, emissions from the proposed
action in combination with past and
future emissions from all other sources
would contribute incrementally to the
climate change impacts described
above.

Conclusion
The DOE LP has decided to offer a
conditional commitment/term sheet for
a loan guarantee to CSF for the Modified
Wind Project, consisting of the SFN,
SFC, and SFS wind farms. When and if
all of the terms and conditions specified
in the conditional commitment have
been met, DOE and the Applicant may
enter into a Loan Guarantee Agreement
for the Modified Wind Project. To
conform with the changes to the Wind
Project Site Certificate authorized by the
EFSC, the BPA will issue three separate
LGIAs for the SFN, SFC, and SFS wind
farms to replace the single LGIA it had
previously issued for the Wind Project.
As relevant to environmental concerns,
these decisions are consistent with the
BP EIS and BP ROD. The July 2008 ROD
for the Wind Project thus is revised by
this ROD to include these additional
decisions concerning the Modified
Wind Project.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–537, ‘‘Gas
Pipeline Certificates: Construction,
Acquisition, and Abandonment’’ (OMB
Control No. 1902–0060), is used by the
Commission to implement the statutory
provisions of the Natural Gas Policy Act
of 1978 (NGPA), 15 U.S.C. 3301–3432,
and the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (15
U.S.C. 717–717w). Under the NGA,
natural gas pipeline companies must
obtain Commission authorization to
undertake the construction or extension
of any facilities, or to acquire or operate
any such facilities or extensions in
accordance with Section 7(c) of the
NGA. A natural gas company must also
obtain Commission approval under
Section 7(b) of the NGA prior to
abandoning any jurisdictional facility or
service. Under the NGA and the NGPA,
interstate and intrastate pipelines must
also obtain authorization for certain
E:\FR\FM\19OCN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 201 / Tuesday, October 19, 2010 / Notices
transportation and storage services and
arrangements, particularly a Part 284,
Subpart G—Blanket Certificate (18 CFR
284.8).
The information collected is
necessary to certificate interstate
pipelines engaged in the transportation
and sale of natural gas, and the
construction, acquisition, and operation
of facilities to be used in those
activities, to authorize the abandonment
of facilities and services, and to
authorize certain NGPA transactions. If
a certificate is granted, the natural gas
company can construct, acquire, or
operate facilities, plus engage in
interstate transportation or sale of
natural gas. Conversely, approval of an
abandonment application permits the
pipeline to cease service and/or
discontinue the operation of such
facilities. Authorization under NGPA
Section 311(a) allows the interstate or
intrastate pipeline applicants to render
certain transportation services.
The data required to be submitted
consists of identification of the
company and responsible officials,
factors considered in the location of the
facilities and the detailed impact on the
project area for environmental
considerations. Also to be submitted are
the following:
• Flow diagrams showing proposed
design capacity for engineering design
verification and safety determination;
• Commercial and economic data
presenting the basis for the proposed
action; and
• Cost of the proposed facilities,
plans for financing, and estimated
revenues and expenses related to the
proposed facility for accounting and
financial evaluation.
The Commission implements these
filing requirements in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR
157.5–.11; 157.13–.20; 157.53; 157.201–
.209; 157.211; 157.214–.218; 284.8;
284.11; 284.126; 284.221; 284.224.1
Action: The Commission is requesting
a three-year extension of the FERC–537
reporting requirements.
Burden Statement: The following
table shows the current total burden
estimate. Because the nature of the
various filings that are covered by
FERC–537 are so varied, a table has
been included as an Appendix to this
Notice to give a more detailed

The total estimated annual cost
burden to respondents is $6,823,570
(102,942 hours/2,080 hours 4 per year,
times $137,874 5).
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The information collected under the
requirements of FERC-537, ``Gas Pipeline Certificates: Construction,
Acquisition, and Abandonment'' (OMB Control No. 1902-0060), is used by
the Commission to implement the statutory provisions of the Natural Gas
Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA), 15 U.S.C. 3301-3432, and the Natural Gas Act
(NGA) (15 U.S.C. 717-717w). Under the NGA, natural gas pipeline
companies must obtain Commission authorization to undertake the
construction or extension of any facilities, or to acquire or operate
any such facilities or extensions in accordance with Section 7(c) of
the NGA. A natural gas company must also obtain Commission approval
under Section 7(b) of the NGA prior to abandoning any jurisdictional
facility or service. Under the NGA and the NGPA, interstate and
intrastate pipelines must also obtain authorization for certain
[[Page 64302]]
transportation and storage services and arrangements, particularly a
Part 284, Subpart G--Blanket Certificate (18 CFR 284.8).
The information collected is necessary to certificate interstate
pipelines engaged in the transportation and sale of natural gas, and
the construction, acquisition, and operation of facilities to be used
in those activities, to authorize the abandonment of facilities and
services, and to authorize certain NGPA transactions. If a certificate
is granted, the natural gas company can construct, acquire, or operate
facilities, plus engage in interstate transportation or sale of natural
gas. Conversely, approval of an abandonment application permits the
pipeline to cease service and/or discontinue the operation of such
facilities. Authorization under NGPA Section 311(a) allows the
interstate or intrastate pipeline applicants to render certain
transportation services.
The data required to be submitted consists of identification of the
company and responsible officials, factors considered in the location
of the facilities and the detailed impact on the project area for
environmental considerations. Also to be submitted are the following:
Flow diagrams showing proposed design capacity for
engineering design verification and safety determination;
Commercial and economic data presenting the basis for the
proposed action; and
Cost of the proposed facilities, plans for financing, and
estimated revenues and expenses related to the proposed facility for
accounting and financial evaluation.
The Commission implements these filing requirements in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR 157.5-.11; 157.13-.20; 157.53;
157.201-.209; 157.211; 157.214-.218; 284.8; 284.11; 284.126; 284.221;

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Sections 284.223 and 284.227 have been removed from this
Notice since they have no reporting or records burden.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Action: The Commission is requesting a three-year extension of the
FERC-537 reporting requirements.
Burden Statement: The following table shows the current total
burden estimate. Because the nature of the various filings that are
covered by FERC-537 are so varied, a table has been included as an
Appendix to this Notice to give a more detailed description of the
various elements of this burden estimate:

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.
