Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission
[ Docket No. CP14–7–000]
Enable Gas Transmission, LLC; Prior
Notice of Activity Under Blanket
Certificate
On October 11, 2013, Enable Gas
Transmission, LLC (Enable) filed with
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (Commission) an
application under section 7 of the
Natural Gas Act and Sections 157.205
and 157.208(f)(2) of the Commission’s
regulations and Enable’s authorization
in Docket Nos. CP82–384–000, 20 FERC
¶ 62,408 (1982) and CP82–384–001, 22
FERC 61,148 (1983), to decrease the
maximum allowable operating pressure
(MAOP) of an existing lateral located in
Crittenden County, Arkansas. As
explained in the application, Enable
proposes to decrease the MAOP of Line
JM–34 from 680 psig to 460 psig.
Questions regarding this application
may be directed to B. Michelle Willis,
Manager-Regulatory & Compliance,
Enable Gas Transmission, LLC, P.O. Box
21734, Shreveport, Louisiana 71151 or
by calling 318–429–3708.
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
record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or
issue a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review (NSER). 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 NSER
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.
Any person or the Commission’s staff
may, within 60 days after issuance of
the instant notice by the Commission,
file pursuant to Rule 214 of the
Commission’s Procedural Rules (18 CFR
385.214) a motion to intervene or notice
of intervention and pursuant to Section
157.205 of the regulations under the
NGA (18 CFR 157.205), a protest to the
request. If no protest is filed within the
time allowed therefore, the proposed
PO 00000
Frm 00016

activity shall be deemed to be
authorized effective the day after the
time allowed for filing a protest. If a
protest is filed and not withdrawn
within 30 days after the allowed time
for filing a protest, the instant request
shall be treated as an application for
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of
the NGA.
Protests will be considered by the
Commission in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but will
not serve to make protestants parties to
the proceeding. Any person wishing to
become a party must file a notice of
intervention or motion to intervene, as
appropriate. Such motions or protests
must be filed on or before the comment
date. Anyone filing a motion to
intervene or protest must serve a copy
of that document on the Applicant, on
or before the comment date. It is not
necessary to serve motions to intervene
or protests on persons other than the
Applicant.
The Commission encourages
electronic submission of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of
paper using the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at
https://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to
file electronically should submit an
original and seven copies of the protest
or intervention to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street
NE., Washington, DC 20426.
This filing is accessible on-line at
https://www.ferc.gov using the
‘‘eLibrary’’ link and is available for
review in the Commission’s Public
Reference Room in Washington, DC.
There is an ‘‘eSubscription’’ link on the
Web site that enables subscribers to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–547, Gas Pipeline Rates:
Refund Report Requirements.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0084.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–547 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
reporting requirements.
Abstract: The Commission uses
FERC–547 (Gas Pipeline Rates: Refund
Report Requirements) to implement the
statutory refund provisions governed by
Sections 4, 5 and 16 of the Natural Gas
Act (NGA).1 Sections 4 and 5 authorize
the Commission to order a refund (with
interest) for any portion of a natural gas
company’s increased rate or charge
found to be unjust or unreasonable.
Refunds may also be instituted by a
natural gas company as a stipulation to
a Commission-approved settlement
agreement or a provision under the
company’s tariff. Section 16 of the NGA
authorizes the Commission to prescribe
rules and regulations necessary to
administer its refund mandates. The
Commission’s refund reporting
requirements are located in 18 CFR
154.501 and 154.502.
The Commission uses the data to
monitor refunds owed by natural gas
companies to ensure that the flowthrough of refunds owed by these
companies are made as expeditiously as
possible and to assure that refunds are
made in compliance with the
Commission’s regulations.
Type of Respondents: Natural gas
companies.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 2 The
Commission reduces its estimate of the
total Public Reporting Burden for this
information collection from the estimate
made three years ago based on the
number of filings received over the
previous three years (from an average of
30 respondents to an average of 11
respondents currently).
