SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–567, Gas Pipeline
Certificates: Annual Reports of System
Flow Diagrams and System Capacity.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0005.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–567 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The Commission uses the
information from the FERC–567 to
obtain accurate data on pipeline
facilities and the peak capacity of these
facilities. Additionally, the Commission
validates the need for new facilities
proposed by pipelines in certificate
applications. By modeling an
applicant’s pipeline 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;
verify peak capacity on the system; and
develop and evaluate alternatives to the
proposed facilities as a means to
11521
mitigate environmental impact of new
pipeline construction.
18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
260.8(a) requires each major natural gas
pipeline with a system delivery capacity
exceeding 100,000 Mcf per day 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. 18 CFR 284.13 requires
each interstate pipeline that provides
transportation subject to the provisions
of Subparts B and G of Part 284 to make
an annual filing by March 1 of each year
showing the estimated peak day
capacity of the pipeline’s system. These
physical/engineering data are not
included as part of any other data
collection requirement.
Type of Respondents: Natural gas
pipelines.

Commission estimates the total Public

The total estimated annual cost
burden to respondents is $ [103 hours
÷ 2,080 2 hours/year = 0.04952 *
$143,540/year 3 = $7,108].
The estimated annual cost of filing the
FERC–567 per response is $69 [$7,108 ÷
103 responses = $69/response].
Comments: Comments are invited on:
(1) Whether the 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 and cost of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information collection;
and (4) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Dated: February 17, 2012.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
1 Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide
information to or for a Federal agency. For further
explanation of what is included in the information
collection burden, reference 5 Code of Federal

Schedule for Environmental Review is
issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the
Commission staff’s issuance of the final
environmental impact statement (FEIS)
or EA for this proposal. The filing of the
EA in the Commission’s public record
for this proceeding or the issuance of a

completion of all necessary reviews, and
the subsequent need to complete all
federal authorizations within 90 days of
the date of issuance of the Commission
staff’s FEIS or EA.
There are two ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this project. First, any person wishing to
obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceedings for this project
should, on or before the comment date
stated below file with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426,
a motion to intervene in accordance
with the requirements of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)

Commission and will receive copies of
all documents filed by the applicant and
by all other parties. A party must submit
seven copies of filings made in the

intervene in order to have comments
considered. The second way to
participate is by filing with the
Secretary of the Commission, as soon as
possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition
to this project. The Commission will
consider these comments in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken, but the filing of a comment alone
will not serve to make the filer a party
to the proceeding. The Commission’s
rules require that persons filing
comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to
the party or parties directly involved in
the protest.
Persons who wish to comment only
on the environmental review of this
