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).

[Docket No. CP14–545–000]
Texas Eastern Transmission, LP;
Notice of Application
On August 28, 2014, Texas Eastern
Transmission, LP (Texas Eastern) filed
with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (Commission) an
application under section 7(c) of the
Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the
Commission’s Regulations for its
proposed Bailey East Mine Panel 2L
Project (Project). Texas Eastern proposes
to replace and temporarily elevate
sections of three different pipelines in
order to monitor and mitigate potential
strains and stresses on these pipelines
that could result from longwall coal
mining activities planned by Consol
Energy, Inc. in the area beneath Texas
Eastern’s existing pipeline facilities in
Greene County, Pennsylvania. The
Project will ensure the safe and efficient
operation of these pipeline facilities
throughout the duration of the longwall
mining activities, scheduled to occur in
early 2016. Texas Eastern requests that
the Commission grant the requested
authorizations by February 15, 2015.
Questions concerning this application
may be directed to Lisa A. Connolly,
General Manager, Rates and Certificates,
at Texas Eastern Transmission, LP, P.O.
Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251–1642,
by calling 713–627–4102, by Fax at

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

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

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.
