Summary of the New Proposed Route G–1 and Alternate Routes B, G, and Eastside Following original Route F until milepost (MP) 1.5, the new Proposed Route G–1 would then turn east, cross under Tennessee State Highway 72 and parallel it until MP 3.1 where it would meet and be collated with East Tennessee’s existing Loudon-Lenoir City Lateral pipeline. Alternate Route G and the Eastside Alternate Route would follow similar paths but each route would be located slightly farther east, rejoining and paralleling the LoudonLenoir City Lateral pipeline at approximately MP 3.5. All three of these routes would cross Tellico Lake. Alternate Route B would start at the same location as all other routes, but would then proceed west of those routes, avoiding Lake Tellico completely, rejoining and paralleling the Loudon-Lenoir City Lateral pipeline at approximately MP 5.4. Overview and aerial maps of the previously proposed route, newly proposed route, and the three alternate routes are included in Appendix 1.2 Currently Identified Environmental Issues We have identified several issues that we think deserve attention for our comparison of the new proposed route and three alternatives based on a review of the proposed facilities and the environmental information provided by East Tennessee. This preliminary list of issues may be changed based on your comments and our analysis. • Waterbodies; • karst geology, including caves; and • candidate and listed threatened or endangered species. tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Environmental Mailing List The environmental mailing list includes federal, state, and local government representatives and agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest 2 The appendices referenced in this notice are not being printed in the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Annual Report of Natural Gas Transactions. OMB Control No.: 1902–0242. Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC–552 information collection requirements with no changes to the reporting requirements. Abstract: The Commission uses the information collected within the FERC– 552 to provide greater transparency concerning the use of indices to price natural gas and how well index prices reflect market forces. The collection also includes transactions that contribute to, or may contribute to natural gas price indices. Many market participants rely on indices as a way to reference market prices without taking on the risks of active trading. FERC–552 had its genesis in the Energy Policy Act of 2005,1 which added section 23 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA). Section 23 of the NGA, among other things, directs the Commission ‘‘to facilitate price transparency in markets for the sale or transportation of physical natural gas in interstate commerce, having due regard for the public interest, the integrity of those markets, and the protection of consumers.’’ 2 Type of Respondents: Wholesale natural gas market participants. Estimate of Annual Burden: 3 The Commission estimates the annual public reporting burden for the information collection as: FERC–552—ANNUAL REPORT OF NATURAL GAS TRANSACTIONS Number of respondents 6 tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES The total estimated annual cost burden to respondents is $478,652 [6,660 hours ÷ 2,080 4 hours/year = 3.201923 * $149,489/year 5 = $478,652]. The estimated annual cost of filing the FERC–552 per response is $719 [$478,652 ÷ 666 responses = $719/ response]. 1 Pub. L. 109–58. U.S.C. 717t–2. 3 The Commission defines burden as the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or 2 15 VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:45 Aug 03, 2015 Jkt 235001 Total number of responses Average burden hours per response Estimated total annual burden (A) Wholesale natural market participants ....................................................
