SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–550, Oil Pipeline Rates:
Tariff Filings.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0089.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–550 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
reporting requirements.
Abstract: The Commission uses the
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–550 to
implement the statutory provisions of
Parts 1, 6, and 15 of the Interstate
Commerce Act (ICA) (Pub. L. 337, 34
Stat. 584). Jurisdiction over oil pipelines
as it relates to the establishment of
valuations for pipelines was transferred
from the Interstate Commerce
Commission (ICC) to FERC, pursuant to
sections 306 and 402 of the Department
of Energy Organization Act (DOE Act),
42 U.S.C. 7155 and 7172, and Executive
Order No. 12009, 42 FR 46267
(September 17, 1977).
18 CFR Parts 341–348 specifies the
filing requirements for proposed oil
pipeline rates. The data that oil
pipelines file is the basis for
Commission analyses of the rates they
plan to charge to transport crude oil and
petroleum products. The Commission
uses its analyses: (1) To determine if the
proposed charges result in just and
reasonable rates for the oil pipeline’s
transportation services and (2) to help
the Commission decide whether it
should suspend, accept or reject the
proposed rates.
Type of Respondents: Oil pipeline
companies.
Estimate of Annual Burden 1: The
Commission estimates the total Public
Reporting Burden for this information
collection as:
collection burden, reference 5 Code of Federal

This application is not ready for
environmental analysis at this time.
The existing project works consists of
the following:
The London/Marmet Project consists
of two developments. The existing
London Development utilizes the head
created by the Army Corps of Engineers’
(Corps) 26-foot-high London Dam
located at river mile (RM) 82.8 on the
Kanawha River and consists of: (1) A
forebay area protected by a log boom; (2)
screened intake structures; (3) a
concrete powerhouse containing three
turbine-generator units with a total
installed capacity of 14.4 megawatts
(MW); (4) a tailrace 420 feet long; (5) a
substation containing two, three-phase
transformers and two auxiliary
transformers; (6) two, 0.38-mile-long,
46-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines; and
(7) other appurtenances. The
development generates about 84,048
megawatt-hours (MWh) annually.
The existing Marmet Development
utilizes the head created by the Corps’
34-foot-high Marmet Dam located at RM
67.7 on the Kanawha River and consists
of: (1) A forebay area protected by a log
boom; (2) screened intake structures; (3)
a concrete powerhouse containing three
turbine-generator units with a total
installed capacity of 14.4 MW; (4) a
tailrace 450 feet long; (5) a substation
containing two, three-phase
transformers and two auxiliary
transformers; (6) two, 0.78-mile-long,
46-kV transmission lines; and (7) other

appurtenances. The development
generates about 82,302 MWh annually.
The London/Marmet Project has a
total installed capacity of 28.8 MW and
generates about 166,350 MWh annually.
The existing Winfield Project utilizes
the head created by the Corps’ 38-foothigh Winfield Dam located at RM 31.1
on the Kanawha River and consists of:
(1) A forebay area protected by a 410foot-long log boom; (2) screened intake
structures; (3) a concrete powerhouse
containing three turbine-generator units
with a total installed capacity of 14.76
MW; (4) a tailrace 410 feet long; (5) a
substation containing a generator stepup bank of three transformers and three
auxiliary transformers; (6) a 3.7-milelong, 69-kV transmission line; and (7)
other appurtenances. The project
generates about 114,090 MWh annually.
The above hydroelectric facilities’
operation is synchronized with the
operation of the Corps’ locks at each
dam. The developments at each of the
two projects operate within allowable
pool elevation limits as established by
the Corps. The London pool elevation is
allowed to fluctuate between 611.0 feet
and 614.0 feet National Geodetic
Vertical Datum 1929 (NGVD). The
Marmet pool elevation is allowed to
fluctuate between 589.7 feet and 590.0
feet NGVD. The Winfield pool elevation
is allowed to fluctuate between 565.8
feet and 566.0 feet NGVD. All three
pools can be drawn down at a maximum
rate of 0.5 feet per hour. When stream
flow exceeds the maximum turbine
discharge, the responsibility for control
of the pool elevations passes to the
Corps’ personnel and the projects
operate in run-of-release mode.
Appalachian is proposing to modify
the maximum pool elevation limit at the
London Development from 614.0 feet to
613.7 feet NGVD.
Locations of the Application: A copy
of the application is available for review
at the Commission in the Public
Reference Room or may be viewed on
