SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: FERC–561, Annual Report of Interlocking Positions. OMB Control No.: 1902–0099. Abstract: The FERC Form 561 responds to the FPA requirements for annual reporting of similar types of positions which public utility officers and directors hold with financial institutions, insurance companies, utility equipment and fuel providers, and with any of an electric utility’s 20 largest purchasers of electric energy (i.e., the 20 entities with high expenditures of electricity). The FPA specifically defines most of the information elements in the Form 561 including the information that must be filed, the required filers, the directive to make the information available to the public, and the filing deadline. The Commission uses the information required by 18 CFR 131.31 and collected by the Form 561 to implement the FPA requirement that those who are 44065 authorized to hold interlocked directorates annually disclose all the interlocked positions held within the prior year. The Form 561 data identifies persons holding interlocking positions between public utilities and other entities, allows the Commission to review these interlocking positions, and allows identification of possible conflicts of interest. The Commission received no comments in response to the Notice of Information and Request for Comments published on May 13, 2020 (85 FR 28623). Type of Respondents: Public utility officers and directors holding financial positions, insurance companies, security underwriters, electrical equipment suppliers, fuel provider, and any entity which is controlled by these. Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The Commission estimates the total annual burden and cost 2 for this information collection as follows: FERC FORM 561, (ANNUAL REPORT OF INTERLOCKING POSITIONS) Number of respondents Annual number of responses per respondent Total number of responses Average burden & cost per response Total annual burden hours & total annual cost Cost per respondent ($) (1) (2) (1) * (2) = (3) (4) (3) * (4) = (5) (5) ÷ (1) 2,700 1 2,700 0.25 hrs.; $20.00 ............ 675.00 hrs.; $54,000 ...... $20.00 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.

Columbia states that, due to unforeseen delays in acquiring an easement from the government of Maryland across the Western Maryland Rail Trail, additional time is now required in order to complete the construction of the authorized Project facilities. This notice establishes a 15-calendar day intervention and comment period deadline. Any person wishing to comment on Columbia’s request for an extension of time may do so.

If you wish to obtain legal status by becoming a party to the proceedings for this request, you should, on or before the comment date stated below, file a motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10).2 As a matter of practice, the Commission itself generally acts on requests for extensions of time to complete construction for Natural Gas Act facilities when such requests are contested before order issuance. For those extension requests that are contested,3 the Commission will aim to issue an order acting on the request within 45 days.4 The Commission will address all arguments relating to whether the applicant has demonstrated there is good cause to grant the extension.5 The Commission will not consider arguments that re-litigate the issuance of the certificate order, including whether the Commission properly found the project to be in the public convenience and necessity and whether the Commission’s environmental analysis for the certificate complied with the National Environmental Policy Act.6 At the time 1 Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC, 164 FERC 61,036 (2018). 2 Only motions to intervene from entities that were party to the underlying proceeding will be accepted.
