Download as PDF mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 186 / Friday, September 25, 2015 / Notices and gas reserves are to be reported annually. Many U.S. government agencies have an interest in the definitions of proved oil and gas reserves and the quality, reliability, and usefulness of estimates of reserves. Among these are the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), Department of Energy; Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), Department of Interior; Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Department of the Treasury; and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Each of these organizations has specific purposes for collecting, using, or estimating proved reserves. EIA has a congressional mandate to provide accurate annual estimates of U.S. proved crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids reserves, and EIA presents annual reserves data in EIA Web reports to meet this requirement. The BOEM maintains estimates of proved reserves to carry out their responsibilities in leasing, collecting royalty payments, and regulating the activities of oil and gas companies on Federal lands and water. Accurate reserve estimates are important, as the BOEM is second only to the IRS in generating Federal revenue. For the IRS, proved reserves and occasionally probable reserves are an essential component of calculating taxes for companies owning or producing oil and gas. The SEC requires publicly traded petroleum companies to annually file a reserves statement as part of their 10–K filing. The basic purpose of the 10–K filing is to provide public investors with a clear and reliable financial basis to assess the relative value, as a financial asset, of a company’s reserves, especially in comparison to other similar oil and gas companies. The Government also uses the resulting information to develop national and regional estimates of proved reserves of domestic crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids to facilitate national energy policy decisions. These estimates are essential to the development, implementation, and evaluation of energy policy and legislation. Data are used directly in EIA Web reports concerning U.S. crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids reserves, and are incorporated into a number of other Web reports and analyses. EIA proposes to make the following changes to Form EIA–23L, Annual Survey of Domestic Oil and Gas Reserves, Field Level Report: • Change the title of Form EIA–23L to Annual Survey of Domestic Oil and Gas Reserves, County Level Report; VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:58 Sep 24, 2015 Jkt 235001 • Change the title of Schedule A to Operated Proved Reserves, Production, and Related Data by County; • Operators will be instructed to file their proved reserves by county rather than by field. Line Item 2.0 will be named ‘‘County Data (operated basis);’’ • Line Item 2.1.4 ‘‘Field Code’’, will be changed to ‘‘County Name;’’ • Line Item 2.1.5 ‘‘MMS Code’’ will be changed to ‘‘Type Code;’’ • Line Item 2.1.6. ‘‘Field Name’’ will be changed to ‘‘Field, Play, or Prospect Name (Optional);’’ • Line Items 2.1.9 ‘‘water depth’’ and 2.1.10 ‘‘field discovery year’’ will be replaced with 2.1.9 ‘‘# of producing wells’’, 2.1.10 ‘‘# of wells added [in survey year];’’ and • Line Item 2.1.11, ‘‘Prospect Name (optional) will be replaced with ‘‘# of wells sold [in survey year].’’ Comments and Feedback are requested on these proposed changes to Form EIA–23L. Secondary reports that use the data include EIA’s Annual Energy Review, Annual Energy Outlook, Petroleum Supply Annual, and Natural Gas Annual. (5) Annual Estimated Number of Respondents: Forms EIA–23L/23S/64A: 1,450. (6) Annual Estimated Number of Total Responses: Forms EIA–23L/23S/64A: 1,450. (7) Annual Estimated Number of Burden Hours: 41,210. Form EIA–23L Annual Survey of Domestic Oil and Gas Reserves, County Level Report: 38 hours (420 intermediate-size operators); 110 hours (160 large operators); 15 hours (270 small operators): 37,610 hours. Form EIA–23S Annual Survey of Domestic Oil and Gas Reserves, Summary Level Report: 4 hours (small operators): 0 hours (Currently suspended). Form EIA–64A Annual Report of the Origin of Natural Gas Liquids Production: 6 hours (600 natural gas plant operators): 3,600 hours. (8) Annual Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost Burden: Forms EIA–23L/23S/64A: EIA estimates that there are no capital and start-up costs associated with this data collection. The information is maintained in the normal course of business. The cost of burden hours to the respondents is estimated to be $2,965,884 (41,210 burden hours times $71.97 per hour). Therefore, other than the cost of burden hours, EIA estimates that there are no additional costs for generating, maintaining and providing the information.

The existing project consists of: (1) The Weber diversion dam with an overall length of 114 feet and crest elevation of 4,798 feet mean sea level (ms)l, consisting of a 27-foot-high, 79foot-long concrete section, two radial gates approximately 29 feet long, and a 35-foot-long intake structure on the Weber River; (2) a 3-foot by 18-foot nonoperative fish passage structure that is used to pass minimum flows through a calibrated slide gate opening; 3) an impoundment with surface area of 8.4 acres at elevation 4,798 msl and total storage of approximately 42 acre-feet; (4) a 9,107-foot-long, 5-foot to 6.3-foot diameter steel penstock partially encased in concrete beginning at the intake and terminating at the powerhouse on the Weber River; (5) a powerhouse with one 3,850 kW generating unit operating under a head of 185 feet and producing a 30-year average annual energy output of 16,932 MWh; (6) a discharging pipe returning turbine flows into the Weber River at the powerhouse; and (7) a 77-foot-long, 46-kV transmission line which connects to the Weber substation.

Scoping Process PacifiCorp intends to utilize the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (Commission) alternative licensing process (ALP). Under the ALP, PacifiCorp will prepare an Applicant Prepared Environmental Assessment (APEA) and license application for the Weber Hydroelectric Project. PacifiCorp expects to file with the Commission, the APEA and the license application for the Weber Hydroelectric Project by February 21, 2018. Although PacifCorp’s intent is to prepare an EA, there is the possibility that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be required. Nevertheless, this meeting will satisfy the NEPA scoping requirements, irrespective of whether an EA or EIS is issued by the Commission. The purpose of this notice is to inform you of the opportunity to participate in the upcoming scoping meetings identified below, and to solicit your scoping comments. Scoping Meetings PacifiCorp and the Commission staff will hold two scoping meetings, one in the daytime and one in the evening, to help us identify the scope of issues to be addressed in the APEA.
