Any interested person may file comments directly with OMB and should address a copy of those comments to the Commission as explained below. The Commission previously issued a Notice in the Federal Register on May 21, 2018, requesting public comments. The Commission received two comments on the FERC–537 and is making this notation in its submittal to OMB. DATES: Comments on the collection of information are due by September 20, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: FERC–537 (Gas Pipeline Certificates: Construction, Acquisition, and Abandonment). OMB Control No.: 1902–0060. Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC–537 information collection requirements with no changes to the reporting requirements. Abstract: The FERC–537 information collection requires natural gas companies to file the necessary information with FERC in order for the Commission to determine if the requested certificate should be authorized. Certain self-implementing construction and abandonment programs do not require the filing of applications. However, those types of programs do require the filing of annual reports, so many less significant actions can be reported in a single filing/ response and less detail would be required. The data required to be submitted in a normal certificate filing consists of identification of the company and responsible officials, factors considered in the location of the facilities and the impact on the area for environmental considerations. Also to be submitted are the following, as applicable to the specific request: • Flow diagrams showing the design capacity for engineering design verification and safety determination; • Cost of proposed facilities, plans for financing, and estimated revenues and expenses related to the proposed facility for accounting and financial evaluation. • Existing and proposed storage capacity and pressures and reservoir E:\FR\FM\21AUN1.SGM 21AUN1 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 162 / Tuesday, August 21, 2018 / Notices engineering studies for requests to increase storage capacity; • An affidavit showing the consent of existing customers for abandonment of service requests. Additionally, requests for an increase of pipeline capacity must include a statement that demonstrates compliance with the Commission’s Certificate Policy Statement by making a showing that the cost of the expansion will not be subsidized by existing customers and that there will not be adverse economic impacts to existing customers, competing pipelines or their customers, nor to landowners and to surrounding communities. Type of Respondents: Natural gas companies. Responses to public comments: 42283 To the comment received from Ms. Joanne Collins on 5/30/2018, FERC responds: To the comment received from Ms. Laurie Lubsen on 6/4/2018, FERC responds: Commenter points out that the collection of data and information from applicants requesting authorization to construct and operate natural gas pipelines can create a secondary burden on the general citizenry to learn about the Commission’s rules and process; and further to perhaps take costly and time consuming efforts to participate in the Commission’s proceedings. The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 was not intended to measure this type of secondary burden; only the primary burden on those applicant entities to collect and compile the information necessary for the Government to make an informed decision and take appropriate action. The Commission has multiple ways, times, and methods for the general citizenry to appropriately input their views on the Commission’s rules and process, or its individual proceedings. Commenter concurs in the collection of information necessary for the Commission to make an informed decision and take appropriate action is appropriate, but does not want less information that is needed to not be collected solely because it is a burden on those seeking authorizations. We confirm that all the information required by FERC– 537 continues to be necessary and that no data collections have been revised in this current review on FERC–537. Commenter notes that automated ways to collect information, such as eFiling are good, as long as they are not ultimately required of all fliers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: FERC-537 (Gas Pipeline Certificates: Construction, 
Acquisition, and Abandonment).
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0060.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-537 information 
collection requirements with no changes to the reporting requirements.
    Abstract: The FERC-537 information collection requires natural gas 
companies to file the necessary information with FERC in order for the

programs do not require the filing of applications. However, those

less detail would be required.
    The data required to be submitted in a normal certificate filing 
consists of identification of the company and responsible officials, 
factors considered in the location of the facilities and the impact on 
the area for environmental considerations. Also to be submitted are the 
following, as applicable to the specific request:

design verification and safety determination;
     Cost of proposed facilities, plans for financing, and 
estimated revenues and expenses related to the proposed facility for 
accounting and financial evaluation.
     Existing and proposed storage capacity and pressures and 
reservoir

engineering studies for requests to increase storage capacity;
     An affidavit showing the consent of existing customers for 
abandonment of service requests.
    Additionally, requests for an increase of pipeline capacity must 
include a statement that demonstrates compliance with the Commission's 
Certificate Policy Statement by making a showing that the cost of the 
expansion will not be subsidized by existing customers and that there 
will not be adverse economic impacts to existing customers, competing 
pipelines or their customers, nor to landowners and to surrounding 
communities.
    Type of Respondents: Natural gas companies.
    Responses to public comments:
    To the comment received from Ms. Joanne Collins on 5/30/2018, FERC 
responds:

    Commenter points out that the collection of data and information 
from applicants requesting authorization to construct and operate 
natural gas pipelines can create a secondary burden on the general 
citizenry to learn about the Commission's rules and process; and 
further to perhaps take costly and time consuming efforts to 
participate in the Commission's proceedings. The Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 was not intended to measure this type of secondary 
burden; only the primary burden on those applicant entities to 
collect and compile the information necessary for the Government to 
make an informed decision and take appropriate action. The 
Commission has multiple ways, times, and methods for the general 
citizenry to appropriately input their views on the Commission's 
rules and process, or its individual proceedings.

    To the comment received from Ms. Laurie Lubsen on 6/4/2018, FERC 
responds:

    Commenter concurs in the collection of information necessary for 
the Commission to make an informed decision and take appropriate 
action is appropriate, but does not want less information that is 
needed to not be collected solely because it is a burden on those 
seeking authorizations. We confirm that all the information required 
by FERC-537 continues to be necessary and that no data collections 
have been revised in this current review on FERC-537. Commenter 
notes that automated ways to collect information, such as eFiling 
are good, as long as they are not ultimately required of all fliers.

    Estimate of Annual Burden: \1\ The Commission estimates the annual 
public reporting burden for the information collection as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. Refer to 
5 CFR 1320.3 for additional information.
    \2\ The estimates for cost per response are derived using the 
following formula: Average Burden Hours per Response * $79.00/hour = 
Average cost/response. The figure is the 2018 FERC average hourly 
cost (for wages and benefits) of $79.00 (and an average annual 
salary of $164,820/year). Commission staff is using the FERC average 
salary because we consider any reporting requirements completed in 
response to the FERC-537 to be compensated at rates similar to the 
work of FERC employees.
    \3\ Each of the figures in this column are rounded to the 
nearest dollar.
    \4\ This figure was derived from 135 responses / 129 respondents 
= 1.046 or ~1.05 responses/respondent.
    \5\ This figure was derived from 84 responses / 83 respondents = 
1.012 or ~1.01 responses/respondent.
    \6\ One-time filings, new tariff and rate design proposal, or 
request for exemptions.
    \7\ This figure was derived from 7 responses / 5 respondents = 
1.4 responses/respondent.
    \8\ The 335 responses are derived from 214 individual 
respondents.
