estimates are based on the NERC Compliance Registry of 7/17/2020, which indicates there are 321 entities registered as TOPs and 97 entities registered as
BAs within the United States. One entity may be registered as having several roles.
4 The hourly cost figures, for salary plus benefits, for the reliability standards are based on Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) information (at https://www.bls.gov/oes/
current/naics2_22.htm), as of May 2019. For reporting requirements, an electrical engineer (code 17–2071) is $70.19/hour; for the recordkeeping requirements, an information and record clerk (code 43–4199) is $41.03/hour.
5 Requirement R21 (applicable to TOPs in ongoing yrs.) covers quarterly testing and associated reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Requirement R24 (applicable to BAs in ongoing yrs.) covers quarterly testing and associated engineering and recordkeeping requirements.
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
estimates 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.

The staff of the Federal Energy

Evangeline Pass Expansion Project,

(SNG) in the above-referenced dockets.
Tennessee requests authorization to
construct and operate a total of
approximately 13 miles of 36-inchdiameter looping pipeline: 1 Yscloskey
Toca Lateral Loop (about 9 miles) in St.
Bernard Parish, Louisiana and Grand
Bayou Loop (about 4 miles) in
Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana.
Additionally, Tennessee requests
authorization to construct and operate a
new 23,470 horsepower (hp) compressor
station (Compressor Station [CS] 529) in
St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana.
SNG requests authorization to
construct and operate a new 22,220 hp
compressor station (Rose Hill CS) in
Clarke County, Mississippi and three
new meter stations: Rose Hill Receipt
Meter Station (MS) in Clarke County,
Mississippi, MEP Receipt MS in Smith
County, Mississippi, and Toca Delivery
MS in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana.
SNG is also requesting authorization to
abandon the new capacity by lease to
Tennessee.
The proposed projects, collectively
known as the Evangeline Pass
Expansion Project, would provide up to
1,100,000 dekatherms per day to the
Venture Global Gator Express Pipeline
interconnect for feed gas for the
Plaquemines Liquified Natural Gas
Terminal in Plaquemines Parish,
Louisiana.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
projects in accordance with the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act. The FERC
staff concludes that approval of the
proposed projects, with appropriate
mitigating measures, would not
constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment.
The Commission mailed a copy of the
Notice of Availability to federal, state,
and local government representatives
and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest
groups; Native American tribes;
potentially affected landowners and
other interested individuals and groups;
and newspapers and libraries in the
project area. The EA is only available in
electronic format. It may be viewed and

(www.ferc.gov), on the natural gas
