FERC–567, [Gas Pipeline Certificates:

OMB Control No.: 1902–0005.
Abstract: The Commission uses the
information from the FERC–567 to
obtain accurate data on pipeline
facilities and the peak capacity of these
facilities. Additionally, the Commission
validates the need for new facilities
proposed by pipelines in certificate
applications. By modeling an
applicant’s pipeline system,
Commission staff utilizes the FERC–567

data to determine configuration and
location of installed pipeline facilities;
verify and determine the receipt and
delivery points between shippers,
producers and pipeline companies;
determine the location of receipt and
delivery points and emergency
interconnections on a pipeline system;
determine the location of pipeline
segments, laterals and compressor
stations on a pipeline system; verify
pipeline segment lengths and pipeline
diameters; justify the maximum
allowable operating pressures and
suction and discharge pressures at
compressor stations; verify the installed
horsepower and volumes compressed at
each compressor station; determine the
existing shippers and producers
currently using each pipeline company;
verify peak capacity on the system; and
develop and evaluate alternatives to the
proposed facilities as a means to
mitigate environmental impact of new
pipeline construction.
18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
260.8(a) requires each major natural gas
pipeline with a system delivery capacity
exceeding 100,000 Mcf 1 per day to
submit by June 1 of each year, diagrams
reflecting operating conditions on the
pipeline’s main transmission system
during the previous 12 months ended
December 31. These physical/
engineering data are not included as
part of any other data collection
requirement.
Type of Respondent: Applicants
proposing hydropower projects on (or
changes to existing projects located
within) lands owned by the United
States.

FERC–587, [Land Description (Public
Land States/Non-Public Land States

States])]
OMB Control No.: 1902–0145.
Abstract: The Commission requires
the FERC–587 information collection to
satisfy the requirements of section 24 of
the Federal Power Act (FPA). The
Federal Power Act grants the
Commission authority to issue licenses
for the development and improvement
of navigation and for the development,
transmission, and utilization of power
across, along, from or in any of the
steams or other bodies of water over
which Congress has jurisdiction.3 The
1
93
Electric Consumers Protection Act
(ECPA) amends the FPA to allow the
Commission the responsibility of
issuing licenses for nonfederal
hydroelectric plants.4 section 24 of the
FPA requires that applicants proposing
hydropower projects on (or changes to
existing projects located within) lands
owned by the United States to provide
a description of the applicable U.S.
land. Additionally, the FPA requires the
notification of the Commission and
Secretary of the Interior of the
hydropower proposal. FERC–587
consolidates the information required
and identifies hydropower project
boundary maps associated with the
applicable U.S. land.

The information consolidated by the
Form No. 587 verifies the accuracy of
the information provided for the FERC–
587 to the Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) and the Department of the
Interior (DOI). Moreover, this
information ensures that U.S. lands can
be reserved as hydropower sites and
withdrawn from other uses.
Type of Respondent: Applicants
proposing hydropower projects on (or
changes to existing projects located
within) lands owned by the United
States.
Estimate of Annual Burden: The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden for the information

natural gas pipeline with a system delivery capacity exceeding 100,000
Mcf \1\ per day to submit by June 1 of each year, diagrams reflecting
operating conditions on the pipeline's main transmission system during
the previous 12 months ended December 31. These physical/engineering
data are not included as part of any other data collection requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ ``Mcf'' is an abbreviation denoting a thousand cubic feet of
natural gas.

Type of Respondent: Applicants proposing hydropower projects on (or
changes to existing projects located within) lands owned by the United
States.
Estimate of Annual Burden: The Commission estimates the annual
public reporting burden for the information collection as:
FERC-567--Gas Pipeline Certificates: Annual Reports of System Flow Diagrams and System Capacity

Average burden Total annual
Number of Annual number Total number hours and cost burden hours Cost per
respondents of responses of responses per response and total respondent ($)

[Rectangular or Non-Rectangular Survey System Lands in Public Land
States])]
OMB Control No.: 1902-0145.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The estimates for cost per response are derived using the
following formula: Average Burden Hours per Response * $72 per Hour
= Average Cost per Response. The hourly cost figure comes from the
FERC average salary. Subject matter experts found that industry
employment costs closely resemble FERC's regarding the FERC-567
information collection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abstract: The Commission requires the FERC-587 information
collection to satisfy the requirements of section 24 of the Federal
Power Act (FPA). The Federal Power Act grants the Commission authority
to issue licenses for the development and improvement of navigation and
for the development, transmission, and utilization of power across,
along, from or in any of the steams or other bodies of water over which
Congress has jurisdiction.\3\ The Electric Consumers Protection Act
(ECPA) amends the FPA to allow the Commission the responsibility of
issuing licenses for nonfederal hydroelectric plants.\4\ section 24 of
the FPA requires that applicants proposing hydropower projects on (or
changes to existing projects located within) lands owned by the United
States to provide a description of the applicable U.S. land.
Additionally, the FPA requires the notification of the Commission and
Secretary of the Interior of the hydropower proposal. FERC-587
consolidates the information required and identifies hydropower project
boundary maps associated with the applicable U.S. land.

\4\ Public Law 99-495, 100 Stat. 1243 (1996)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information consolidated by the Form No. 587 verifies the
accuracy of the information provided for the FERC-587 to the Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) and the Department of the Interior (DOI).
Moreover, this information ensures that U.S. lands can be reserved as
hydropower sites and withdrawn from other uses.
Type of Respondent: Applicants proposing hydropower projects on (or
changes to existing projects located within) lands owned by the United
States.
Estimate of Annual Burden: The Commission estimates the annual
public reporting burden for the information collection as:
