l. The Winooski 8 Hydroelectric
Project consists of the following
constructed facilities: (1) a 222.5-footlong, 26-foot-high concrete gravity dam
impounding a reservoir with a storage
capacity of approximately 20 acre-feet at
an elevation of 615 feet mean sea level;
(2) a 148-foot-long spillway with 4-foothigh flashboards built into the crest of
the dam; (3) a 24-foot-long,
hydraulically operated crest gate; (4) a
1,100-square-foot forebay located
adjacent to the project impoundment;
(5) three hydraulically operated
trashracks; (6) a 1,550-square-foot
powerhouse that contains two semiKaplan turbines and one fixed propeller
turbine for a total installed capacity of
856 kilowatts; (7) a 100-foot-long
tailrace; (8) a 1,000 kilovolt-amp station
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
transformer connected to the 600-volt
generator lead lines approximately 10
feet from the powerhouse; (9) a 10-footlong, 12.8-kilovolt undergound
transmission line connected to an
above-ground interconnection pole; and
(10) appurtenant facilities. The project
generates an average of 3,507 megawatthours annually.
WHC proposes to continue to operate
the project in an automated run-of-river
mode except during planned
maintenance activities when generation
flows are increased above inflow rates to
lower the impoundment water level,
followed by WHC storing 10 percent of
the inflow to refill the impoundment
following the completion of
maintenance activities. WHC also
proposes to add 3.6 acres to the existing
project boundary to enclose a 4,100foot-long dirt road currently used by
WHC to access the dam and powerhouse
and to enclose an existing unimproved
recreation site that provides access to
the river for boating and fishing
activities downstream of the dam.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–923, Communication of
Operational Information between
Natural Gas Pipelines and Electric
Transmission Operators.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0265.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the information collection
requirements described below with no
changes to the current reporting
requirements.
Abstract: In 2013, the Commission
revised its regulations to provide
explicit authority to interstate natural
gas pipelines and public utilities that
own, operate, or control facilities used
for the transmission of electric energy in
interstate commerce to voluntarily share
non-public, operational information
with each other for the purpose of
promoting reliable service and
operational planning on either the
pipeline’s or public utility’s system.
This helped ensure the reliability of
natural gas pipeline and public utility
transmission services by permitting
transmission operators to share with
each other the information that they
deem necessary to promote the
reliability and integrity of their systems.
FERC removed actual or perceived
prohibitions to the information sharing
and communications between industry
entities. The information shared is not
submitted to FERC. Rather, the nonpublic information is shared voluntarily
between industry entities. FERC does
not prescribe the content, medium,
format, or frequency for the information
sharing and communications. Those
decisions are made by the industry
entities, depending on their needs and
the situation.
Type of Respondent: Natural gas
pipelines and public utilities.
