(202)273-0873, and by e-mail at *michael.miller@ferc.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The information collected under the requirements of FERC-555 “Records Retention Requirements” (OMB No. 1902-00098) is used by the Commission to implement the statutory provisions of Sections 301, 304 and 309 of the Federal Power Act
(FPA)(16 U.S.C. 825, 825c and 825h), Sections 8, 10 and 16 of the Natural Gas Act
(NGA)(15 U.S.C. 717- 717w), and Section 20 of the Interstate Commerce Act (ICA, 49 U.S.C. 20). The regulations for preservation of records establish retention periods, necessary guidelines and requirements to sustain retention of applicable records for the regulated public utilities, natural gas and oil pipeline companies subject to FERC's jurisdiction. These records will be used by the regulated companies as the basis for their required rate filings and reports for the Commission. In addition, the records will be used by the Commission's audit staff during compliance reviews, by enforcement staff during investigations and for special analyses as deemed necessary by the Commission. The records retained by jurisdictional companies as directed by the Commission are the result of a mandatory requirement. On January 8, 1999 the Commission issued AI99-2-000, an Accounting Issuance providing guidance on records storage media. Specifically, FERC gave each jurisdictional company the flexibility to select its own storage media. The storage media selected must have a life expectancy equal to the applicable record period unless the quality of the data transferred from one media to another with no loss of data would exceed the record period. On January 27, 2000, FERC issued a final rule amending its records retention regulations for public utilities and licensees, natural gas and oil pipeline companies. These changes included revising the general instructions, shortening various records retention periods. The final rule's objective was to reduce or eliminate burdensome and unnecessary regulatory requirements. FERC anticipated a reduction of 679,800 hours. OMB questioned FERC's estimates of the anticipated reduction and so the existing estimates 1,236,000 for 515 respondents remained on OMB's inventory. (Using these existing figures, the total hours per respondent for recordkeeping purposes equals 2,400 hours.) It has been over three years since Order No. 617 took effect on January 1, 2001 and there has been sufficient time for jurisdictional companies to implement the final rule's provisions. Therefore, in responding to this notice, FERC is interested in knowing if the jurisdictional companies have obtained substantial reductions in the recordkeeping burden for maintaining their records under the revised retention periods. In addition, the Commission is interested in learning if and what savings were achieved by jurisdictional companies by freeing up storage space formerly used for retaining records. The Commission implements these filing requirements in the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR)under 18 CFR Parts 125, 225 and 356. *Action:* The Commission is requesting a three-year approval of these recordkeeping requirements, with no changes to the existing collection of data. *Burden Statement:* Public reporting burden for this collection is estimated as: Number of respondents annually Number of responses per respondent * Average burden hours per response Total annual burden hours
(3)(1)x(2)x(3) 515 1 1 2,402 2 1,236,896 1 Rounded off. 2 includes documentation recordkeeping requirements of Order No. 634. *Estimated cost burden to respondents:* 1,236,896 hours/2,080 hours per year × $107,185 per year = $63,738,797. The cost per respondent is equal to $123,765. The reporting burden includes the total time, effort, or financial resources expended to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the information including: Reviewing instructions;
(2)developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, verifying, processing, maintaining, disclosing and providing information;
(3)adjusting the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements;
(4)training personnel to respond to a collection of information;
(5)searching data sources;
(6)completing and reviewing the collection of information; and
(7)transmitting, or otherwise disclosing the information. The estimate of cost for respondents is based upon salaries for professional and clerical support, as well as direct and indirect overhead costs. Direct costs include all costs directly attributable to providing this information, such as administrative costs and the cost for information technology. Indirect or overhead costs are costs incurred by an organization in support of its mission. These costs apply to activities which benefit the whole organization rather than any one particular function or activity. Comments are invited on:
(1)Whether the proposed 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 of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
(3)ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(4)ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond. Magalie R. Salas, Secretary. [FR Doc. E4-1108 Filed 5-12-04; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. CP04-314-000] Algonquin Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Application May 6, 2004. Take notice that on April 30, 2004, Algonquin Gas Transmission Company (Algonquin), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 77056-5310, filed in Docket No. CP04-314-000 an application for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity pursuant to section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, and the regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Algonquin requests authorization to increase the maximum allowable operating pressure of its I-8 System located in Braintree, Massachusetts. The application is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The filing may also be viewed on the Web at *http://www.ferc.gov* using the “eLibrary” link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access the document. For assistance, call
(202)502-3676 or TTY,
(202)502-8659. Algonquin states that its proposal is related to pipeline inspection work necessary for compliance with recent Department of Transportation pipeline safety regulations. Algonquin's I-8 System consists of about 2 miles of 16-inch diameter pipeline located in Braintree that begins at the East Braintree meter and regulation station, and extends north through residential streets to its end at the interconnection with Algonquin's I-9 System at the Potter Street meter and regulation station. Algonquin also states that the current maximum allowable operating pressure
(MAOP)of the I-8 System is 750 pounds per square inch gauge (PSIG), while the 24-inch pipelines it connects to immediately upstream and downstream have an MAOP of 1,000 PSIG. Algonquin proposes, subject to the result of the hydrostatic testing, that it be allowed to increase the MAOP of the I-8 System from 750 PSIG to 958 PSIG. Algonquin states that this will further compliance with the pipeline safety requirements and also enhances the flexibility and reliability of existing services on Algonquin's system. Algonquin also states that the increase in MAOP results in an additional 140,000 dekatherms per day of available firm transportation capacity to the greater Boston and northern New England natural gas markets. Algonquin also seeks a pre-determination of rolled-in rate treatment for this project. Algonquin requests that the Commission issue a final certificate no later than July 8, 2004, in order to meet the natural gas requirements in the Northeast for the 2004-2005 winter period. The name, address, and telephone number of the person to whom any further questions, correspondence and communications concerning this Application should be addressed is: Steven E.

EG04-1-000 and EG04-2-000 (Not Consolidated)] Colorado Wind Ventures, LLC, PPM Colorado Wind Ventures, Inc.; Notice of Partial Refund of Filing Fee May 7, 2004. On April 5, 2004, Colorado Wind Ventures, LLC (Colorado Wind) and PPM Colorado Wind Ventures, Inc.
(PPM)(together, Petitioners) filed a request for a partial refund of filing fee in the above-referenced proceedings. Petitioners explain that they submitted requests for a refund in the amount of $990.00 for filing fees paid when they applied for exempt wholesale generator status. Petitioners state that the requests were made on the grounds that neither Colorado Wind nor PPM are public utilities. In the instant April 5, 2004 request, Petitioners state that, upon discussion with the Commission's staff, Petitioners are withdrawing the requests for refund of the full $990.00. However, because the filing fee for EWG applications was changed from $990.00 to $870.00 just prior to both Colorado Wind and PPM filing their respective EWG applications, a request for a refund of the $120.00 difference for each filing is justified. For good cause shown, the request is granted and the refund will be processed accordingly. The refund will be made payable to “Colorado Wind Ventures, LLC and PPM Colorado Wind Ventures, Inc.” and will be forwarded to Sean E.

First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or before the below listed comment date, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426, 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the proceeding. However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. The Commission will consider these comments in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly involved in the protest. Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Those providing environmental comments will be placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings associated with the Commission's environmental review process. The environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court review of the Commission's final order. Motions to intervene, protests and comments may be filed electronically via the internet in lieu of paper; see, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site under the “e-Filing” link.

The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of: • Constructing 4.7 miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline to replace 4.7 miles of 14-inch-diameter pipeline, to be abandoned by removal, in Washington County, Wisconsin, including one new pig launcher and two new pig receivers (Mainline Replacement); • Constructing 3.5 miles of 8-inch-diameter pipeline looping in Brown County, Wisconsin, including one new pig launcher and receiver and two tie-in facilities (Denmark Lateral Loop); and • Modifying its existing Mountain Compressor Station in Oconto County, Wisconsin, including re-wheeling of a compressor unit and addition of a gas cooler and new piping and appurtenant facilities. The purpose of the proposed project is to expand the capacity of ANR's natural gas pipeline facilities for transporting an additional 143,400 million British thermal units per day of natural gas along its 30-inch-diameter pipeline in Wisconsin. The EA has been placed in the public files of the FERC. A limited number of copies of the EA are available for distribution and public inspection at: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Public Reference and Files Maintenance Branch, 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426,

E4-1102 Filed 5-12-04; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. CP04-60-000] Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Tewksbury-Andover Lateral Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues May 7, 2004. The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment
(EA)that will discuss the environmental impacts of the Tewksbury-Andover Lateral Project involving construction and operation of facilities by Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (Tennessee) in Middlesex and Essex Counties, Massachusetts. 1 These facilities would consist of about 5.3 miles of 8-inch-diameter pipeline, pig launcher and receiver facilities, and a meter station. This EA will be used by the Commission in its decision-making process to determine whether the project is in the public convenience and necessity. 1 Tennessee originally filed its application as a Prior Notice Application under Sections 157.208(b)(2) and 157.211(a)(2) of the Commission's regulations. Four landowners filed protests to Tennessee's filing on March 8, 22, and 26, 2004, on economic grounds. In addition, the staff filed a protest citing unresolved rate issues. None of the protests were resolved within the 30-day protest resolution period. Therefore, Tennessee's filing has converted to a Natural Gas Act, Section 7(c) application. If you are a landowner receiving this notice, you may be contacted by a pipeline company representative about the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. The pipeline company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if the project is approved by the Commission, that approval conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation proceedings in accordance with state law. Summary of the Proposed Project Tennessee wants to transport up to 25,000 decatherms per day for Bay State Gas Company and Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Wyeth) in Essex County, Massachusetts. Tennessee seeks authority to construct and operate: • 5.31 miles of 8-inch-diameter pipeline (Tewksbury-Andover Lateral) in Middlesex and Essex Counties, Massachusetts; • A pig launcher facility in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, at milepost
(MP)270B-102+1.53 of Tennessee's Concord Lateral, that is the point of interconnection with the proposed Tewksbury-Andover Lateral; and • A pig receiver facility and meter station at MP 5.31 of the proposed Tewksbury-Andover Lateral, at the Wyeth facility in Essex County, Massachusetts. The general location of the project facilities is shown in appendix 1. 2 2 The appendices referenced in this notice are not being printed in the **Federal Register.** Copies of all appendices, other than appendix 1 (maps), are available on the Commission's Web site at the “eLibrary” link or from the Commission's Public Reference and Files Maintenance Branch, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, or call
(202)502-8371. For instructions on connecting to eLibrary refer to the last page of this notice. Copies of the appendices were sent to all those receiving this notice in the mail. Land Requirements for Construction Construction of the proposed facilities would require about 30.2 acres of land. Following construction, about 12.5 acres would be maintained as new permanent right-of-way and aboveground facility sites. The remaining 24.4 acres of land would be restored and allowed to revert to its former use. The EA Process The National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA)requires the Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us to discover and address concerns the public may have about proposals. This process is referred to as “scoping”. The main goal of the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important environmental issues. By this Notice of Intent, the Commission staff requests public comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EA. All comments received are considered during the preparation of the EA. State and local government representatives are encouraged to notify their constituents of this proposed action and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern. In the EA we 3 will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of the construction and operation of the proposed project under these general headings: 3 “We”, “us”, and “our” refer to the environmental staff of the Office of Energy Projects (OEP). • Geology and soils; • Land use; • Water resources, fisheries, and wetlands; • Cultural resources; • Vegetation and wildlife; • Endangered and threatened species; • Public safety. We will also evaluate potential alternatives to the proposed project or portions of the project, and make recommendations, if appropriate, on how to lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas. Our independent analysis of the issues will be in the EA. Depending on the comments received during the scoping process, the EA might be published and mailed to Federal, state, and local agencies, public interest groups, interested individuals, affected landowners, newspapers, libraries, and the Commission's official service list for this proceeding. A comment period will be allotted for review if the EA is published. We will consider all comments on the EA before we make our recommendations to the Commission. To ensure your comments are considered, please carefully follow the instructions in the public participation section beginning on page 4. Public Participation You can make a difference by providing us with your specific comments or concerns about the project. By becoming a commentor, your concerns will be addressed in the EA and considered by the Commission. You should focus on the potential environmental effects of the proposal, alternatives to the proposal (including alternative routes), and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impact. The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. Please carefully follow these instructions to ensure that your comments are received in time and properly recorded: • Send an original and two copies of your letter to: Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First St., NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426. • Label one copy of the comments for the attention of Gas Branch 3. • Reference Docket No. CP04-60-000. • Mail your comments so that they will be received in Washington, DC, on or before June 11, 2004. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filing of any comments or interventions or protests to this proceeding. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site at *http://www.ferc.gov* under the “Documents & Filing, e-Filing” link and the link to the User's Guide. Before you can file comments you will need to create a free account which can be created on-line. We might mail the EA for comment. If you are interested in receiving it, please return the Information Request (appendix 4). If you do not return the Information Request, you will be taken off the mailing list. Becoming an Intervenor In addition to involvement in the EA scoping process, you may want to become an official party to the proceeding known as an “intervenor”. Intervenors play a more formal role in the process. Among other things, intervenors have the right to receive copies of case-related Commission documents and filings by other intervenors. Likewise, each intervenor must provide 14 copies of its filings to the Secretary of the Commission and must send a copy of its filings to all other parties on the Commission's service list for this proceeding. If you want to become an intervenor you must file a motion to intervene according to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214) ( *see* appendix 2). 4 Only intervenors have the right to seek rehearing of the Commission's decision. 4 Interventions may also be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. See the previous discussion on filing comments electronically. Affected landowners and parties with environmental concerns may be granted intervenor status upon showing good cause by stating that they have a clear and direct interest in this proceeding which would not be adequately represented by any other parties. You do not need intervenor status to have your environmental comments considered. Environmental Mailing List An effort is being made to send this notice to all individuals, organizations, and government entities interested in and/or potentially affected by the proposed project. This includes all landowners who are potential right-of-way grantors, whose property may be used temporarily for project purposes, or who own homes within distances defined in the Commission's regulations of certain aboveground facilities. By this notice we are also asking governmental agencies, especially those in appendix 3, to express their interest in becoming cooperating agencies for the preparation of the EA.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* ), this document announces that EPA is planning to submit a continuing Information Collection Request
(ICR)to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). This is a request to renew an existing approved collection. This ICR is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2004. Before submitting the ICR to OMB for review and approval, EPA is soliciting comments on specific aspects of the proposed information collection as described below. DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before July 12, 2004. ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing docket ID number OECA- 2004-0027, to EPA online using EDOCKET (our preferred method), by email to *docket.oeca@epa.gov,* or by mail to: EPA Docket Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Enforcement and Compliance Docket and Information Center, Mail code: 2201T, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave, NW., Washington, DC 20460.

An electronic version of the public docket is available through EPA Dockets (EDOCKET) at *http://www.epa.gov/edocket.* Use EDOCKET to obtain a copy of the draft collection of information, submit or view public comments, access the index listing of the contents of the public docket, and to access those documents in the public docket that are available electronically. Once in the system, select “search,” then key in the docket ID number identified above. Any comments related to this ICR should be submitted to EPA within 60 days of this notice. EPA's policy is that public comments, whether submitted electronically or in paper, will be made available for public viewing in EDOCKET as EPA receives them and without change, unless the comment contains copyrighted material, CBI, or other information whose public disclosure is restricted by statute. When EPA identifies a comment containing copyrighted material, EPA will provide a reference to that material in the version of the comment that is placed in EDOCKET. The entire printed comment, including the copyrighted material, will be available in the public docket. Although identified as an item in the official docket, information claimed as CBI, or whose disclosure is otherwise restricted by statute, is not included in the official public docket, and will not be available for public viewing in EDOCKET. For further information about the electronic docket, see EPA's **Federal Register** notice describing the electronic docket at 67 FR 38102 (May 31, 2002), or go to *http://www.epa.gov./edocket.* *Affected entities:* The affected entities are the 56 printing facilities which are participating in the PrintSTEP pilot program in New Hampshire and St. Louis, Missouri. *Title:* Proposed Information Collection Request
(ICR)for the Evaluation of PrintSTEP. *Abstract:* Information will be collected for the evaluation of the PrintSTEP pilot program in New Hampshire and St. Louis, Missouri. PrintSTEP stands for “Printers Simplified Total Environmental Partnership” and is the first simplified program for managing the various environmental regulatory requirements of printers. PrintSTEP's two-year pilot has four features: Operational flexibility, incentives for and assistance with pollution prevention activities, regulatory simplification and public participation. The evaluation will determine the extent to which the goals of the pilot program are met. These goals are: Enhanced environmental protection; increased use of pollution prevention practices; simplified regulatory process for printers; improved efficiency of administration of state agencies; enhanced public involvement; participants realize benefits and are motivated to participate in PrintSTEP; and cost effectiveness for all stakeholders. The evaluation encompasses a baseline survey, mid-point review, and end-of-pilot survey. The baseline survey and mid-point review will have been completed by the time the current ICR expires. So, the proposed ICR is necessary for the end-of-pilot survey of the 56 printers voluntarily participating in the pilot. The lessons learned from the pilot will be shared with states interested in establishing PrintSTEP-like programs and may be translated into a guide for developing, implementing and evaluating pilot programs. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9. The EPA would like to solicit comments to:
(i)Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;
(ii)Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
(iii)Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(iv)Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, *e.g.* , permitting electronic submission of responses. *Burden Statement:* It is estimated that the end-of-pilot telephone survey of each of the participating 56 printers will be approximately 12 minutes in duration (or .2 hours per response). The time to complete the written survey will be approximately 2.75 hours per participating printer. The total resulting burden would be 165 hours. With regard to costs, it is estimated that the time to be spent responding to the evaluation survey would be worth, on average, approximately $28.59 per hour per participating printer. Taking into account the total burden of 165 hours, this results in an estimated total cost of $4,723. Burden means 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. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
