(202)273-0873, and by e-mail at *michael.miller@ferc.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The information is collected under the requirements of FERC-519 “Application for Sale, Lease or Disposition, Merger or Consolidation of Facilities or for Purchase or Acquisition of Securities” (OMB No. 1902-0082). The information is used by the Commission to implement the statutory provisions of the Section 203 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. 824b. Section 203 authorizes the Commission to grant approval for transactions in which a public utility disposes of jurisdictional facilities, merges such facilities with the facilities owned by another person or acquires the securities of another public utility. Under this statute, the Commission must find that the proposed transaction will be consistent with the public interest. Section 318 exempts certain persons from the requirements of Section 203 which would otherwise concurrently apply under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935. Under Section 203 of the FPA, FERC must review proposed mergers, acquisitions and dispositions of jurisdictional facilities by public utilities, if the value of the facilities exceeds $50,000, and must approve these transactions if they are consistent with the public interest. Today, one of FERC's overarching goals is to promote competition in wholesale power markets, having determined that effective competition, as opposed to traditional forms of price regulation, can best protect the interests of ratepayers. Market power, however, can be exercised to the detriment of effective competition and customers. Therefore, FERC regulates transmission service, mergers and wholesale rates so as to prevent the exercise of market power in bulk power markets. The Commission implements these filing requirements in the Code of Federal Regulations

(CFR)under 18 CFR part 33. *Action:* The Commission is requesting a three-year approval of these reporting 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

(1)Number of responses per respondent*

(2)Average burden hours per response #

(3)Total annual burden hours (1)x(2)x(3) 134 1 395 52,930 *The Commission anticipates that over the next three years it will receive on average per year the following number of filings: merger applications (2); disposition of facilities (109); corporate restructuring (20); and acquisition of securities (3). # The Commission has estimated that it takes on average anywhere from 91 hours to 12,557 hours to comply with the requirements of Part 33 and encompasses non-merger transactions i.e. divestiture of assets, acquisition of securities; simple merger applications where no competitive concerns are raised to complex merger applications were horizontal competitive concerns are raised and there is a need for extensive analysis. Estimated cost burden to respondents: 52,930 hours / 2,080 hours per year × $107,185 per year = $2,727,549. The reporting burden includes the total time, effort, or financial resources expended to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the information including:

(1)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. Linda Mitry, Acting Secretary. [FR Doc.

(832)676-2251. There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or before the comment date stated below, 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. Environmental commenters 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. 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. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, protests and interventions via the Internet in lieu of paper. *See* 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site ( *http://www.ferc.gov* ) under the “e-Filing” link. *Comment Date:* September 7, 2004.

CP04-38-000; CP04-39-000; and CP04-40-000] Sabine Pass LNG, L.P, Cheniere Sabine Pass Pipeline Company; Notice of Availability of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Sabine Pass LNG and Pipeline Project August 12, 2004. The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared a draft Environmental Impact Statement

(EIS)on the liquefied natural gas

(LNG)import terminal and natural gas pipeline facilities in Cameron Parish, Louisiana proposed by Sabine Pass LNG, L.P. and Cheniere Sabine Pass Pipeline Company (collectively referred to as Cheniere Sabine) in the above-referenced dockets. The draft EIS was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The staff concludes that approval of the proposed project with appropriate mitigating measures as recommended, would have limited adverse environmental impact. The draft EIS also evaluates alternatives to the proposal, including system alternatives, alternative sites for the LNG import terminal, and pipeline alternatives. Cheniere Sabine's proposed facilities would transport an average of 2.6 billion cubic feet per day

(Bcfd)of imported natural gas to the U.S. market. In order to provide LNG import, storage, and pipeline transportation services, Cheniere Sabine requests Commission authorization to construct, install, and operate an LNG terminal and natural gas pipeline facilities. The draft EIS addresses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the following LNG terminal and natural gas pipeline facilities: • A new marine terminal basin connected to the Sabine Pass Channel that would include a ship maneuvering area and two protected berths to unload up to 300 LNG ships per year with a ship capacity ranging up to 250,000 cubic meters (m 3 ) of LNG; • Three all-metal, double-walled, single containment, top-entry LNG storage tanks, each with a nominal working volume of approximately 160,000 m 3 (1,006,400 barrels) and each with secondary containment dikes to contain 110 percent of the gross tank volume; • Sixteen high-pressure submerged combustion vaporizers with a capacity of approximately 180 million cubic feet per day, as well as other associated vaporization equipment; • Instrumentation and safety systems, including hazard detection and fire response systems, ancillary utilities, buildings, and service facilities, including a metering facility; • Packaged natural gas turbine/generator sets to generate power for the LNG terminal; and • Approximately 16 miles of 42-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline, two metering stations, and associated pipeline facilities including launcher and receiver facilities. Comment Procedures and Public Meetings Any person wishing to comment on the draft EIS may do so. To ensure consideration prior to a Commission decision on the proposal, it is important that we receive your comments before the date specified below. 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 comments to: Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First St., NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426. • Reference Docket Nos.

On June 22, 2004, the Director, Division of Hydropower Administration and Compliance, Office of Energy Projects, issued an order which granted an extension of time to North Hartland, LLC (North Hartland) to submit copies of the instruments of conveyance as required by the order approving transfer of the North Hartland Project No. 2816 to North Hartland. On July 15, 2004, the Vermont Department of Public Service (Vermont DPS) filed a request for rehearing of that order. 2. Pursuant to section 313(a) of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 825l(a), a request for rehearing may be filed only by a party to the proceeding. In order for Vermont DPS to be a party to the proceeding, it must have filed a motion to intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.214. 1 Vermont DPS has not filed a motion to intervene in this proceeding (the request for extension of time to file conveyance instruments). Since Vermont DPS is not a party to this proceeding, its request for rehearing is rejected. 1 *See* Pacific Gas and Electric Company, 40 FERC ¶ 61,035 (1987). 3. Vermont DPS' rehearing request would have been rejected in any event. With regard to post-licensing proceedings, the Commission entertains motions to intervene only where the filing entails a material change in the plan of development or in the terms of the license; would adversely affect the rights of property holders in a manner not contemplated by the license; or involves an appeal by an agency or entity specifically given a consultation role. 2 The timing of a compliance filing is an administrative matter between the licensee and the Commission, and does not alter the substantive obligations of the licensee. 3 It therefore does not give rise to an opportunity for intervention and rehearing. 2 Kings River Conservation District, 36 FERC ¶ 61,365 (1986). 3 City of Tacoma, Washington, 89 FERC ¶ 61,058 (1999). The only exception would be if the license articles specifically state that Vermont DPS must be consulted on extensions of deadlines set forth in the articles. Id. At 61,194 n. 9. Such is not the case here. 4. This notice constitutes final agency action. Request for rehearing by the Commission of this rejection notice must be filed within 30 days of the date of issuance of this notice, pursuant to 18 CFR 385.713. Magalie R. Salas, Secretary. [FR Doc.

By order issued June 18, 2004, the Commission acted on matters remanded to it by the court in *City of Tacoma, WA, et al.* v. *FERC* , 331 F.3d 106 (D.C. Cir. 2003). The court concluded that the Commission is required to determine the reasonableness of costs incurred by other Federal agencies

(OFAs)in connection with their participation in Commission proceedings under Part I of the Federal Power Act

(FPA)1 when those agencies seek to include such costs in the administrative annual charges licensees must pay to reimburse the United States for the cost of administering Part I. 2 The court also remanded issues regarding the eligibility of specific types of OFA costs for reimbursement, and the availability of refunds for certain charges. 1 16 U.S.C. 794-823b. 2 The OFAs are the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, National Park Service, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (all in the Department of the Interior); Corps of Engineers (in the Department of the Army); U.S. Forest Service (in the Department of Agriculture); and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (in the Department of Commerce). 2. The June 18 Order

(1)determined which OFA costs are eligible to be included in administrative annual charges;

(2)established procedures for Commission review of future OFA cost submittals, as well as those currently on appeal and

(3)introduced a proposed new form to be used in submitting OFA costs, the form to be finalized in a technical conference. 3 3 The form was attached to the order and is posted on the Commission's Web site, *http://www.ferc.gov/.* 3. The technical conference, held on July 1, 2004, was attended by Commission staff and counsel representing affected licensees. The licensees made recommendations with respect to the guidance the Commission should give the OFAs in filling out the form, but did not propose any alterations to the form itself. The licensees did not make any specific recommendations regarding the form's content or design. Attached to this notice is the final form, which is the same as that proposed in the June 18 Order. 4. Numerous licensees have requested rehearing of the June 18 order. To provide more certainty to the annual charges billing process, the Commission has decided to delay the billing of the OFA costs that would have been included in the 2004 annual charges statement until after the rehearing requests are addressed. The Commission informed licensees of this decision in an August 4, 2004 letter included with the Statement of Annual Charges for Administration, Government Dams and Indian Lands for Bill Year 2004. Similarly, the Commission is extending the deadlines stated in the June 18 Order for OFAs to submit their cost data for Fiscal Years 1998-2003. The Commission will establish a new deadline for these submittals after the rehearing requests have been addressed. Anyone having questions regarding this notice should contact Anton Porter at

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed an application for non-project use of project lands and waters at the Smith Mountain Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 2210) and has prepared an Environmental Assessment

(EA)for the proposed non-project use. The project is located on the Roanoke and Blackwater Rivers in Bedford, Campbell, Pittsylvania, Franklin, and Roanoke Counties, Virginia. In the application, Appalachian Power Company (licensee) requests Commission authorization to permit Resource Partners, L.L.C. to install and operate boat dock facilities at a residential development known as The Cottages at Contentment Island located along the Blackwater River portion of Smith Mountain Lake. No dredging is planned as part of this proposal. The EA contains the Commission staff's analysis of the probable environmental impacts of the proposal and concludes that approving the licensee's application, with staff's recommended environmental measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The EA is attached to a Commission order titled “Order Modifying and Approving Non-Project Use of Project Lands and Waters,” which was issued August 13, 2004, and is available for review and reproduction at the Commission's Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426.

E4-1865 Filed 8-19-04; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. CP04-346-000] CenterPoint Energy—Mississippi River Transmission Corporation; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed AmerenUE Pipeline Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues August 13, 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 AmerenUE Pipeline Project involving construction and operation of facilities by CenterPoint—Mississippi River Transmission Corporation

(MRT)in Madison and St. Clair Counties, Illinois. These facilities consist of about 3.6 miles of 20-inch-diameter pipeline lateral, a new meter station, and a 6,232-horsepower

(hp)compressor station. The EA will be used by the Commission in its decision-making process to determine whether the project is in the public convenience and necessity. A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled “An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?” is available for viewing on the FERC Internet Web site ( *http://www.ferc.gov* ). This fact sheet addresses a number of typically asked questions, including how to participate in the Commission's proceedings. Summary of the Proposed Project The proposed pipeline lateral (Line A-334) would extend from an interconnection with MRT's existing Alton Loop East Lateral Line at its Horseshoe Lake Terminal to the new meter station at Union's Venice Power Plant. The new meter station would be installed at the Venice Power Plant and would consist of a 2-inch mini-turbine and 10-inch ultrasonic meter installed on a prefabricated skid assembly complete with upstream and downstream block valves on each meter. The Horseshoe Lake Compressor Station would consist of four units with appurtenant facilities, to be installed within MRT's 5.7 acre Horseshoe Lake facility lot, where MRT's Alton Loop East Line and the new Line A-334 would interconnect, and where a meter/regulator station currently exists. The general location of MRT's proposed facilities is shown on the map attached as appendix 1. 1 1 The appendices referenced in this notice are not being printed in the **Federal Register.** Copies of all appendices, other than appendix 1 (map), are available on the Commission's Web site at the “eLibrary” link or from the Commission's Public Reference Room, 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 About 51.1 acres of land would be affected during construction of this project. Upon completion of construction, about 25.4 acres would be maintained as permanent operational right-of-way. Construction of Line A-334 would parallel an abandoned railroad track to the greatest extent possible (2.2 miles) and would use a nominal 50-foot-wide right-of-way for both construction and permanent operation in this area. Typically, for construction of Line A-334, MRT proposes to use a 75-foot-wide construction right-of-way, consisting of 50 feet of permanent right-of-way and 25 feet of temporary workspace. Several agricultural fields and cultivated areas exist along the pipeline route. In these locations, MRT would perform topsoil segregation, and proposes to use a 100-foot-wide construction right-of-way, consisting of 50 feet of permanent right-of-way, 25 feet of temporary workspace, and 25 feet of additional temporary workspace. Construction of Line A-334 would require about 13.6 acres of additional temporary workspaces where it crosses roads, railroads, wetlands, and utilities. About 33.9 acres of land would be affected during construction of the lateral and about 21.8 acres would be maintained as permanent right-of-way. Land used as temporary workspaces and additional temporary workspaces would revert to the existing land use. The proposed meter station would use about 0.2 acre (75 feet by 100 feet) of land at Union's Venice Power Plant for both construction and operation. The proposed Horseshoe Lake Compressor Station would use about 3.4 acres of land for both construction and operation within MRT's 5.7 acre Horseshoe Lake facility lot. MRT would fence area of about 2.9 acres around the proposed compressor station. All access roads designated for use during construction are existing dirt, gravel, or paved roads. 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 2 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. 2 “We”, “us”, and “our”, refer to the environmental staff of the Office of Energy Projects (OEP). Our independent analysis of the issues will be in the EA. Depending on the comments received during the scoping process, the EA may 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 below. 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 locations/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., N.E., Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426. • Label one copy of the comments for the attention of Gas Branch 1. • Reference Docket No. CP04-346-000. Mail your comments so that they will be received in Washington, DC on or before September 10, 2004. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filing of comments. *See* 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site at *http://www.ferc.gov* under the “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. 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 send one electronic copy (using the Commission's e-Filing system) or 14 paper 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). 3 Only intervenors have the right to seek rehearing of the Commission's decision. 3 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.

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* . *Title:* NSPS for the Graphic Arts Industry (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart QQ) (Renewal). *Abstract:* The New Source Performance Standards

(NSPS)for subpart QQ were proposed on October 28, 1980, and promulgated on November 8, 1982. These standards apply to each publication rotogravure printing press (not including proof presses) commencing construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart QQ. Owners or operators subject to this subpart are required to establish and maintain records, make reports, install, use and maintain monitoring equipment or methods as required, and provide other information as EPA may deem necessary. Owners or operators of the affected facilities described have certain notification, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements that are mandatory for compliance under this rule. These are a one-time-only notification of the actual dates of startup, keeping records of monthly emissions calculations, and reporting of the initial performance test. Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part will maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least two years following the date of such reports and records. Notifications are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the standard. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated and the standard is being met. Performance test reports are needed as these are the Agency's records of a source's initial capability to comply with the emission standard. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA regional office. 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 are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable. *Burden Statement:* The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 37 (rounded) hours per response. 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. *Respondents/Affected Entities:* Owners/operators of Graphic Arts Industry. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 19. *Frequency of Response:* Semiannually, initially. *Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:* 1,718. *Estimated Total Annual Costs:* $108,663, which includes $0 annualized capital/startup costs, $0 O & M costs, and $108,663 annual labor costs. *Changes in the Estimates:* There is a decrease of 2,153 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease in the burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to a more accurate estimate of existing and anticipated new sources. Dated: August 2, 2004.
