18 For the FERC–60, the $57.07/hour figure is
based on the average cost (wages plus benefits) of
a management analyst (Occupation Code 13–1111)
and an accountant (Occupation Code 13–2011) as
posted on the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Web
site (https://www/bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_
22.htm).
19 For the FERC–61 the $37.50 hourly cost figure
comes from the cost of a records clerk (Occupation
Code 43–4199) as posted on the BLS Web site
(https://www/bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm).
20 For the FERC–555A, the $30.71/hour figure is
based on the cost (wages plus benefits) of a file
clerk (Occupation Code 43–4071) as posted on the
BLS Web site (https://www/bls.gov/oes/current/
naics2_22.htm). The estimates use the $30.71/hour
(rather than the rounded $31/hour provided in the
60-day Notice.
21 Internal analysis assumes 50% electronic and
50% paper storage
22 Per entity; the Commission bases this figure on
the estimated cost to service and to store 1 GB of
data (based on the aggregated cost of an advanced
data protection server).

and a change in total gas capacity for
Cavern Well No. 4 from 12.4 Bcf to 13.4

Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the
Commission’s rules, 18 CFR. 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the
Commission staff will either: Complete
its environmental assessment (EA) and
place it into the Commission’s public
record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or
issue a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review. If a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review is
issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the
Commission staff’s issuance of the final
environmental impact statement (FEIS)
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

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

a motion to intervene in accordance
with the requirements of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and

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

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

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
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

and interventions in lieu of paper using
