Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 145 / Wednesday, July 29, 2015 / Notices
or EA for this proposal. The filing of the
EA in the Commission’s public record
for this proceeding or the issuance of a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental
Review 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.
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
seven copies of filings made in the
proceeding with the Commission and
must mail a copy to the applicant and
to every other party. 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
participate is by filing with the
Secretary of the Commission, as soon as
possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition
to this project. The Commission will
consider these comments in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken, but the filing of a comment alone
will not serve to make the filer a party
to the proceeding. The Commission’s
rules require that persons filing
comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to
the party or parties directly involved in
the protest.
Persons who wish to comment only
on the environmental review of this
project should submit an original and
two copies of their comments to the
Secretary of the Commission.
Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission’s
environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents,
and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission’s
environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be
required to serve copies of filed
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:33 Jul 28, 2015
Jkt 235001
documents on all other parties.
However, the non-party commentors
will not receive copies of all documents
filed by other parties or issued by the
Commission (except for the mailing of
environmental documents issued by the
Commission) and will not have the right
to seek court review of the
Commission’s final order.
The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings 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 7 copies of the protest or
intervention to the Federal Energy
regulatory Commission, 888 First Street
NE., Washington, DC 20426.

Electricity Markets.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0245.
Type of Request: 18 CFR part 42
provides the reporting requirements of
FERC–732 as they pertain to long-term
transmission rights. To implement
section 12331 of the Energy Policy Act
of 2005 (EPAct 2005),2 the Commission
requires each transmission organization
that is a public utility with one or more
organized electricity markets to make
available long-term firm transmission
rights that satisfy each of the
Commission’s guidelines.
The FERC–732 regulations require
that transmission organizations (that are
public utilities with one or more
organized electricity markets) choose
one of two ways to file:
• File tariff sheets making long-term
firm transmission rights available that
are consistent with each of the
guidelines established by FERC
• File an explanation describing how
their existing tariffs already provide
long-term firm transmission rights that
are consistent with the guidelines.
Additionally, the Commission requires
each transmission organization to make
its transmission planning and expansion
procedures and plans available to the
public.
FERC–732 enables the Commission to
exercise its wholesale electric rate and
electric power transmission oversight
and enforcement responsibilities in
accordance with the FPA, the
Department of Energy Organization Act
(DOE Act), and EPAct 2005.
Type of Respondents: Public utility
with one or more organized electricity
markets.
