SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Standards of Conduct for
Transmission Providers 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
affiliates 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 the 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 18 CFR 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
are giving discriminatory preference to
their marketing affiliates; and
• non-affiliated shippers and state
commissions and others would be
unable to determine if they have been
harmed by affiliate preference or
prepare evidence for proceedings
following the filing of a complaint.
Type of Respondents: Natural gas
pipelines.

The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the Henderson County Expansion
Project (Project), proposed by Texas Gas
Transmission, LLC (Texas Gas) in the
above-referenced docket. Texas Gas
requests a Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity and
Abandonment Authorization to
construct, operate, and maintain, and
abandon certain natural gas
transmission pipeline facilities in
Henderson and Webster Counties,
Kentucky and Posey and Johnson
Counties, Indiana. The Project purpose
is to provide up to 220,000 dekatherms
per day of new firm transportation
service to CenterPoint Energy Indiana
South’s (CenterPoint) AB Brown
Generating Station in Posey County,
Indiana.
The final EIS assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
Project in accordance with the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
FERC staff concludes that approval of
the proposed Project, with the
mitigation measures recommended in
the EIS, would result in some adverse
environmental impacts; however, with
the exception of potential impacts on
climate change, we conclude that
impacts would be reduced to less than
significant levels. Regarding climate
change impacts, this EIS is not
characterizing the Project’s greenhouse
gas emissions as significant or
insignificant because the Commission is
conducting a generic proceeding to
determine whether and how the
Commission will conduct significance
determinations going forward.1
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency participated as a cooperating
agency in the preparation of the EIS.
Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction
by law or special expertise with respect
to resources potentially affected by the
proposal and participate in the NEPA
analysis. Although the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
provides input to the conclusions and
recommendations presented in the final
EIS, the agency may present its own
conclusions and recommendations in
any applicable Records of Decision or
other documentation for the Project.
The final EIS addresses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
following project facilities:
• Henderson Lateral—Construction of
an approximately 23.5-mile-long, 20inch-diameter natural gas transmission
pipeline extending from a new tie-in
facility in Henderson County, Kentucky
to the new AB Brown Meter and
Regulating (M&R) Station in Posey
County, Indiana.
• AB Brown M&R Station and Point
of Demarcation Site (Posey County,
Indiana)—Construction of a delivery
M&R station, receiver facility, and a 0.1mile-long, 16-inch-diameter
interconnecting pipeline terminating at
the new Point of Demarcation Site,
which would serve as CenterPoint’s tiein for Project facilities for its AB Brown
Generating Station.
• Slaughters Compressor Station
(Webster County, Kentucky)—
Installation of a new 4,863-horsepower
Solar Centaur 50 turbine compressor
unit with piping modifications and
other appurtenant facilities,
abandonment in place of an existing
compressor unit (Unit 5), and placement
on standby of two existing compressor
units (Unit 6 and Unit 7).
• New ancillary facilities including a
mainline valve and tie-in facility in
Henderson County, Kentucky and
upgrades to an existing M&R station in
Johnson County, Indiana.
The Commission mailed a copy of the
Notice of Availability of the Final
Environmental Impact Statement for the
Proposed Henderson County Expansion
Project to federal, state, and local
government representatives and
agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest
groups; Native American Tribes;
potentially affected landowners and

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, reference 5 CFR 1320.3.

hourly cost for wages plus benefits is similar to the
Commission’s $87.00 FY 2021 average hourly cost
for wages and benefits.

Natural Gas Infrastructure Project Reviews, 178

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.
