(Equitrans) filed an amendment, pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission’s Regulations, for the Ohio Valley Connector Project in West Virginia, and Ohio. The application of the project was originally filed on December 30, 2014 in Docket No. CP15– 41–000. The amended filing may be viewed on the web at https:// www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.

For assistance, contact FERC at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or call toll-free, (886) 208–3676 or TYY, (202) 502–8659. Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Paul W. Diehl, Senior Counsel, Midstream, Equitrans, L.P., 625 Liberty Avenue, Suite 1700, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. Telephone (412) 395–5540, fax (412) 553–7781, and email: pdiehl@eqt.com. Equitrans states that after filing the original application, Equitrans has continued working with landowners and other interested parties with respect to the route of the pipeline and the specific facilities that will be necessary. Also, after discussions with a proposed shipper, Equitrans has determined that the proposed H–313 pipeline will not be required to provide the firm transportation service. To accommodate this change, Equitrans proposes to eliminate the H–313 pipeline from the scope of the project. The H–313 pipeline is approximately 14.0 miles and 24-inch diameter. Equitrans also proposes four minor re-routes of the proposed H–310 pipeline and changes of facilities. The amendment does not affect the Ohio Valley Connector Project’s designed capacity of 850 MMcf/day. 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 5 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 2 The estimates for cost per response are derived using the following formula: Average Burden Hours per Response * $30.66 per Hour = Average Cost per Response. The hourly cost figure comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Web site (https:// www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm). The occupation title is ‘‘file clerk’’ and the occupation code is 43–4071. 69.4 percent of this cost is hourly wages. The rest of the cost is benefits (https:// www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.nr0.htm). 3 The Commission bases this figure on industry archival storage costs. 4 Only 50% of records are retained in electronic formats. 5 The Commission bases the $28/hour figure on a FERC staff study that included estimating public utility recordkeeping costs. 6 The Commission bases the estimated $15.25/ year for each entity on the estimated cost to service and to store 1 GB of data (based on the aggregated cost of an IBM advanced data protection server). The total estimated annual cost burden to respondents is: $416,293. • Labor costs: 1,955 hours * $30.66/ hour = $59,940 • Record retention/storage cost for paper records (using an estimate of 48,891 cubic feet): $315,792 3 • Electronic record retention/storage cost: $40,561 Æ staff-time cost: 1,955 hours ÷ 2 4 = 977.50 hours * $28/hour 5 = $27,370; Æ electronic record storage cost: 865 * $15.25/year 6 = $13,191 Dated: May 12, 2015.

For additional information about EPA’s public docket, visit https://www.epa.gov/ dockets. Abstract: Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) creates a comprehensive program for the safe management of hazardous waste. Section 3004 of RCRA requires owners and operators of facilities that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste to comply with standards established by EPA that are to protect the environment. Section 3005 provides for implementation of these standards under permits issued to owners and operators by EPA or authorized States. It also allows owners and operators of facilities in existence when the regulations came into effect to comply with applicable notice requirements to operate until a permit is issued or denied. This statutory authorization to operate prior to permit determination is commonly known as ‘‘interim status.’’ Owners and operators of interim status facilities also must comply with standards set under Section 3004. This ICR examines the ground-water monitoring standards for permitted and interim status facilities at 40 CFR parts 264 and 265, as specified. The groundwater monitoring requirements for regulated units follow a tiered approach whereby releases of hazardous contaminants are first detected (detection monitoring), then confirmed (compliance monitoring), and if necessary, are required to be cleaned up (corrective action). Each of these tiers requires collection and analysis of ground-water samples. Owners or operators that conduct ground-water monitoring are required to report information on releases of contaminants and to maintain records of ground-water monitoring data at their facilities. The goal of the ground-water monitoring program is to prevent and quickly detect releases of hazardous contaminants to groundwater, and to establish a program whereby any contamination is expeditiously cleaned up as necessary to protect human health and environment. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Private facilities; and State, Local, or Tribal Governments. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (RCRA Sections 3004 and 3005). Estimated number of respondents: 881 (total). Frequency of response: quarterly, semi-annually, and annually. Total estimated burden: 117,027 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
