Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; Notice of Application, 54975-54976 [2014-21864]

Download as PDF tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 178 / Monday, September 15, 2014 / Notices Management and Budget (OMB) under section 3507(a) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The DOE collects information on the generation, distribution, and transmission of electric energy. The DOE also collects information on emergency situations in the electric energy supply systems so that appropriate Federal emergency response measures can be implemented in a timely and effective manner. The purpose of this notice is to seek public comment on the revised Form OE–417 ‘‘Electric Emergency Incident and Disturbance Report’’, which is used to report electric emergency incidents and disturbances to the DOE. The OE– 417 reports enable the DOE to monitor electric emergency incidents and disturbances in the United States (including all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and the U.S. Trust Territories) so that the Government may help prevent the physical or virtual disruption of the operation of any critical infrastructure. Currently, OE uses Form OE–417 to monitor major system incidents on the electric power systems, assess power generating capacity in the event of a significant disruption, and to conduct after-action non-regulatory investigations on significant interruptions of electric power. The information is used to meet DOE national-security responsibilities and requirements as set forth in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s National Response Framework. The information may also be used in developing legislative recommendations/reports to Congress and coordinating Federal efforts regarding activities such as incidents/ disturbances in critical infrastructure protection, the continuity of electric industry operations, and the continuity of operations. The information submitted may also be used by OE to analyze significant power interruptions of electric power from a non-regulatory perspective. (4a) Proposed Changes to Information Collection: OE is considering making the following changes during this recertification cycle: (a) OE intends to protect the data submitted on Schedule 2 of the OE–417 under the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–347, 44 U.S.C. 3501 note)(CIPSEA). The information reported on Schedule 2 will be kept confidential and used for exclusively statistical purposes. This differs from the previous confidentiality provisions VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:10 Sep 12, 2014 Jkt 232001 that were used to protect information reported in this schedule. In the past, information was protected to the extent that it satisfied the criteria for exemption under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552, the DOE regulations, 10 CFR 1004.11, implementing the FOIA, and the Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. 1905. These laws permitted the information to be used for any non-statistical purposes such as administrative, regulatory, law enforcement, or adjudicatory purposes. Under CIPSEA, the information will not be used for these non-statistical purposes and the information would be used for exclusively statistical purposes. (b) In applying CIPSEA to protect information reported in Schedule 2, OE will no longer accept submissions of OE–417 forms via email to limit disclosure of confidential information. Respondents will still be able to submit event reports via phone or via fax to the DOE Emergency Operations Center (EOC) which functions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. (c) Adjusting the responses requested in Question 19 and Question 20 to be more generic and the removal of current form Question 21 and Question 22. The online filing system will now be the default submission method for submitting OE–417 forms during events. Information submitted on Schedule 1 of the OE–417 will still be considered public, with public summaries posted on the OE Web site. The online filing system will be upgraded to transmit public information collected on Schedule 1 of the OE–417 to other organizations, such as the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), as needed. (5) Annual Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,924; (6) Annual Estimated Number of Total Responses: 300; (7) Annual Estimated Number of Burden Hours: 5061 hours; (8) Annual Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $0. There are no additional costs to respondents associated with the survey other than the costs associated with the burden hours. Statutory Authority: Section 13(b) of the Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974, Pub. L. 93–275, codified at 15 U.S.C. 772(b). Issued in Washington, DC, on September 8, 2014. Patricia A.
