Moriah Hydro Corporation; Notice of
Intent To Prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement
On February 13, 2015, Moriah Hydro
Corporation filed an application for an
original major license to construct and
operate its proposed 240-megawatt
Mineville Energy Storage Project No.

12635 (Mineville Project or project). The
project would be located in a
decommissioned subterranean mine
complex 1 in the town of Moriah, Essex
County, New York. No federal lands
would be occupied by the project works
or located within the project boundary.
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act and the
Commission’s regulations, Commission
staff held public scoping meetings for
the proposed Mineville Project on
December 7, 2016, in Warrensburg, New
York, and on December 8, 2016, in Port
Henry, New York. Commission staff
originally intended to prepare an
Environmental Assessment (EA) to
analyze project effects.2 However,
during preparation of the EA and review
of the project record, staff has
determined that the Mineville Project
may constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment. Therefore, staff
now intends to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
that addresses the licensing of the
Mineville Project.
A draft EIS will be issued and
circulated for review by all interested
parties. All comments filed on the draft
EIS will be analyzed by the staff and
considered in the final EIS. The staff’s
conclusions and recommendations will
be available for the Commission’s
consideration in reaching its final
licensing decision.
The application will be processed
according to the following schedule.
Revisions to the schedule may be made
as appropriate.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Standards of Conduct for
Transmission Provider and Marketing
Affiliates of Interstate Pipelines.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0157.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–592 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The Commission uses the
information maintained and posted by
the respondents to monitor the
pipeline’s transportation, sales, and
storage activities for its marketing
affiliate to deter undue discrimination
by pipeline companies in favor of their
marketing affiliates. Non-affiliated
shippers and other entities (e.g., state
commissions) also use information to
determine whether they have been
harmed by affiliate preference and to
prepare evidence for proceedings
following the filing of a complaint.
18 CFR Part 358 (Standards of Conduct)
Respondents maintain and provide
the information required by part 358 on
their internet websites. When the
Commission requires a pipeline to post
information on its website following a
disclosure of non-public information to
its marketing affiliate, non-affiliated
shippers obtain comparable access to
the non-public transportation
information, which allows them to
compete with marketing affiliates on a
more equal basis.
18 CFR 250.16, and the FERC–592 Log/
Format
This form (log/format) provides the
electronic formats for maintaining
information on discounted
transportation transactions and capacity
allocation to support monitoring of
activities of interstate pipeline
marketing affiliates. Commission staff
considers discounts given to shippers in
litigated rate cases.
Without this information collection:
• The Commission would be unable
to effectively monitor whether pipelines
