and other information necessary to
establish the identity of the individual
responsible for the claim; (2) the
amount, status, and history of the claim;
and (3) the program under which the
claim arose. The Department may
disclose the information specified in
this paragraph under 5 U.S.C.
552a(b)(12) and the procedures
contained in 31 U.S.C. 3711(e). A
consumer reporting agency to which
these disclosures may be made is
defined at 15 U.S.C. 1681a(f) and 31
U.S.C. 3701(a)(3).
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING,
RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND
DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
The Department electronically stores
the complaints and allegations on an
Intranet Web site. The Web site is
located at the Virtual Data Center in
Plano, Texas.
RETRIEVABILITY:
Records in the SPD–CTS system are
retrieved by searching any of the
following data elements: complainant’s
name, institution’s name, reviewer’s
name or Office of Postsecondary
Education identification (OPEID)
number.
SAFEGUARDS:
sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
In addition to undergoing security
clearances, contract and Department
employees are required to complete
security awareness training on an
annual basis. Annual security awareness
training is required to ensure that
contract and Department users are
appropriately trained in safeguarding
Privacy Act data in accordance with
OMB Circular No. A–130, Appendix III.
The computer system employed by
the Department offers a high degree of
resistance to tampering and
circumvention. This security system
limits data access to Department and
contract staff on a ‘‘need-to-know’’ basis
and controls individual users’ ability to
access and alter records within the
system. All users of this system of
records are given a password. The
Department’s FSA Information Security
and Privacy Policy requires the
enforcement of a complex password
policy. This password is only given to
SPD staff who are assigned to
investigate and resolve the complaint(s).
RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
The records created by this system are
currently unscheduled. ED will apply to
the National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA) for disposition
authority that covers these records.
Until disposition authority is received

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission
[Docket No. CP13–64–000]
Gulf Crossing Pipeline Company LLC;
Notice of Application
On February 1, 2013, Gulf Crossing
Pipeline Company (Gulf Crossing) filed
with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (Commission) an
application under section 7 of the
Natural Gas Act and Commission
regulations for authorization to
construct and operate a new 16.5 mile,
16-inch diameter pipeline lateral and
appurtenant auxiliary facilities. The
pipeline would extend from Gulf
Crossing’s Sherman Compressor Station,
near Sherman, Texas to Panda Sherman
Power, LLC’s new 758 megawatt gasfired power plant in Grayson County,
Texas, as more fully described in the
Application.
Questions regarding this application
may be directed to J. Kyle Stephens,
Vice President of Regulatory Affairs,
Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, LP, 9
Greenway Plaza, Houston, Texas, 77046;
by fax 713–479–1846 or email to
kyle.stephens@bwpmlp.com.
Pursuant to section 157.9 of the
Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the
Commission staff will either: complete
its environmental assessment (EA) and
place it into the Commission’s public
PO 00000
Frm 00014

record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or
issue a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review. If a Notice of
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
Notice of Schedule for Environmental
Review will serve to notify federal and
state agencies of the timing for the
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)
and the Regulations under the NGA (18
CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list
maintained by the Secretary of the
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 with the
Commission and must mail a copy to
the applicant and to every other party in
the proceeding. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of
Commission orders in the proceeding.
However, a person does not have to
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.
The Commission encourages
electronic submission of protests and
interventions in lieu of paper using the
‘‘eFiling’’ link at https://www.fere.gov.
Persons unable to file electronically
should submit an original and seven
