Any person seeking to become a party
to the proceeding must file a motion to
intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedures (18 CFR 385.214). Only
intervenors have the right to seek
rehearing or judicial review of the
Commission’s decision. The
Commission grants affected landowners
and others with environmental concerns
intervenor status upon showing good
cause by stating that they have a clear
and direct interest in this proceeding
which no other party can adequately
represent. Simply filing environmental
comments will not give you intervenor
status, but you do not need intervenor
status to have your comments
considered.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–566 (Annual Report of a
Utility’s 20 Largest Purchasers).
OMB Control No.: 1902–0114.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–566 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The Federal Power Act
(FPA), as amended by the Public Utility
Regulatory Policies Act of 1978
(PURPA), mandates federal oversight
and approval of certain electric
corporate activities to ensure that
neither public nor private interests are
adversely affected. Accordingly, the
FPA proscribes related information
filing requirements to achieve this goal.
Such filing requirements are found in
the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
specifically in 18 CFR Section 131.31,
and serve as the basis for the FERC–566.
FERC–566 implements FPA
requirements that each public utility
annually publish a list of the 20
purchasers which purchased the largest
annual amounts of electric energy sold
by such public utility during any of the
three previous calendar years. The
public disclosure of this information
provides the information necessary to
determine whether an interlocked
position is with any of the 20 largest
purchasers of electric energy. Similar to
the Form 561,1 the FPA identifies who
must file the FERC–566 report and sets
the filing deadline.
Type of Respondents: Public utilities.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 2 The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden for the information
collection as:

Comments: Comments are invited on:
(1) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden and cost of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information collection;
and (4) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

[Docket No. CP18–118–000]
Rover Pipeline LLC; Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review of
the UGS-Crawford Meter Station
Project
On March 15, 2018, Rover Pipeline
LLC filed an application in Docket No.
CP18–118–000 requesting a Certificate
of Public Convenience and Necessity
pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural
Gas Act to construct and operate certain
natural gas pipeline facilities. The
proposed project is known as the UGSCrawford Meter Station Project (Project),
and would receive up to 35 million
standard cubic feet per day of pipeline
quality natural gas from an interconnect
with the gathering pipeline facilities of
Utica Gas Services, LLC.
On March 28, 2018, the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission or FERC) issued its Notice
of Application for the Project. Among
other things, that notice alerted agencies
issuing federal authorizations of the
requirement to complete all necessary
reviews and to reach a final decision on
explanation of what is included in the information
collection burden, reference 5 Code of Federal
Regulations 1320.3.
3 The estimates for cost per response are derived
using the following formula: Average Burden Hours
per Response * $76.50 per Hour = Average Cost per
Response. The figure comes from the 2017 FERC

of the Commission staff’s Environmental
Assessment (EA) for the Project. This
instant notice identifies the FERC staff’s
planned schedule for the completion of
the EA for the Project.

provided so that the relevant agencies
are kept informed of the Project’s
progress.
Project Description
The Project would consist of one new
meter and regulating station on
agricultural land west of Highway 221
in Salem Township, Jefferson County,
Ohio. The station would consist of
various components including a
horizontal filter separator, ultrasonic
meter skid, flow control skid, gas
quality and measurement buildings,
satellite communications, and a
condensate storage tank. The facility
would be constructed on 3.64 acres of
land, of which 0.9 acre would be fenced
and maintained for operation.
average hourly cost (for wages and benefits) of
$76.50 (and an average annual salary of $158,754).
Commission staff is using the FERC average hourly
cost because we consider any reporting completed
in response to the FERC–566 to be compensated at
rates similar to the work of FERC employees.
