k. This application has been accepted
and is now ready for environmental
analysis.
The Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ) issued a final rule on July
15, 2020, revising the regulations under
40 CFR parts 1500—1518 that federal
agencies use to implement NEPA (see
Update to the Regulations Implementing
the Procedural Provisions of the
National Environmental Policy Act, 85
FR 43,304). The Final Rule became
effective on and applies to any NEPA
process begun after September 14, 2020.
An agency may also apply the
regulations to ongoing activities and
environmental documents begun before
September 14, 2020, which includes the
proposed Gouverneur Project.
Commission staff intends to conduct its
NEPA review in accordance with CEQ’s
new regulations.
l. The Gouverneur Project consists of
the following existing facilities: (1) A
250-foot-long concrete gravity dam that
includes two bridge piers and three
separate spillways that range in crest
elevation from 403.4 to 403.7 feet North
American Vertical Datum of 1988
(NAVD88); (2) an impoundment with a
surface area of 109 acres at the normal
pool elevation of 403.8 feet NAVD88; (3)
a concrete intake structure containing
two trash rack bays separated by a 2-
Id.
18 CFR 366.7(a).
4 Burden is 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. For further explanation
of what is included in the information collection
burden, refer to 5 CFR 1320.3.
5 The Commission staff thinks that the average
respondent for this collection is similarly situated
to the Commission, in terms of salary plus benefits.
Based upon FERC’s FY 2020 annual full-time
equivalent average of $172,329 (for salary plus
benefits), the average hourly cost is $83 per hour.
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.
Dated: November 19, 2020.

Secretary.
