(NGA)15 U.S.C. 717. The FERC Form 2 is a financial and operating report for natural gas rate regulation for major pipeline owners. “Major” is defined as companies having combined gas sold for resale and gas transported or stored for a fee that exceeds 50 million Dth in each of the three previous calendar years. Under the Form 2, the Commission investigates, collects and records data and prescribes rules and regulations concerning accounts, records and memoranda as necessary to administer the NGA. The Commission is empowered to prescribe a system of accounts for jurisdictional gas pipelines and after notice and opportunity for hearing, may determine the accounts in which particular outlays the receipts will be entered, charged or credited. The Commission's staff uses the data in the continuous review of the financial condition of jurisdictional companies, in various rate proceedings and in the Commission's audit program. FERC Form 2 data are also used to compute annual charges which are necessary to recover the Commission's annual costs. The annual charges are required by section 3401 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986. The NGA mandates the collection of information needed by the Commission to perform its regulatory responsibilities in the setting of just and reasonable rates. The Commission could be held in violation of the NGA if the information was not collected. The annual financial information filed with the Commission is a mandatory requirement submitted in a prescribed format which is filed electronically. The Commission implements these filing requirements in 18 CFR parts 158, 201, 260.1 and 385.2011. 5. *Respondent Description:* The respondent universe currently comprises 71 companies (on average) subject to the Commission's jurisdiction. 6. *Estimated Burden:* 111,470 total hours, 71 respondents (average), 1 response per respondent, and 1,570 hours per response (average). 7. *Estimated Cost Burden to respondents:* 111,470 hours/2080 hours per years × $122,137 per year = $6,545,486.

(NGA)15 U.S.C. 717. The FERC Form 2-A is a financial and operating report for natural gas rate regulation for nonmajor pipeline owners. A “nonmajor” pipeline owner is one that has combined gas sales for resale and has gas transported or stored for a fee that exceeds 200,000 Dth but which is less than 50 million Dth, in each of the three previous calendar years. Under the Form 2-A, the Commission investigates, collects and records data, and prescribes rules and regulations concerning accounts, records and memoranda as necessary to administer the NGA. The Commission is empowered to prescribe a system of accounts for jurisdictional gas pipelines and after notice and opportunity for hearing, may determine the accounts in which particular outlays and receipts will be entered, charged or credited. FERC staff uses the data in the continuous review of the financial condition of jurisdictional companies, in various rate proceedings and in the Commission's audit program. FERC Form 2-A data are also used to compute annual charges which are assessed against each jurisdictional natural gas pipeline and which are necessary to recover the Commission's annual costs. The annual charges are required by section 3401 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986. The annual financial information filed with the Commission is a mandatory requirement submitted in a prescribed format which is filed electronically and on paper. The Commission implements these filing requirements in 18 CFR Parts 158, 201, 260.2 and 385.2011. 5. *Respondent Description:* The respondent universe currently comprises 43 companies (on average) subject to the Commission's jurisdiction. 6. *Estimated Burden:* 4,945 total hours, 43 respondents (average), 1 response per respondent, and 115 hours per response (average). 7. *Estimated Cost Burden to respondents:* 4,945 hours/2080 hours per years × $117,321 per year = $290,369.

The information filed with the Commission is mandatory. 4. *Necessity of the Collection of Information:* Submission of the information is necessary for the Commission to carry out its responsibilities in implementing the statutory provisions of the Interstate Commerce Act (ICA), (49 U.S.C.). The ICA authorizes the Commission to make investigations and to collect and record data and to prescribe rules and regulations concerning accounts, records and memoranda as necessary or appropriate for purposes of administering the ICA. The Commission may prescribe a system of accounts for jurisdictional companies and, after notice and opportunity for hearing may determine the accounts in which particular outlays and receipts will be entered, charged or credited. Every pipeline carrier subject to the provisions of Section 20 of the ICA must electronically file with the Commission through Commission-provided software. The Commission's Office of Enforcement uses the collected FERC Form 6 data to assist in the implementation of its financial audits and investigation programs, in the continuous review of the financial condition of regulated companies and in the assessment of energy markets. The Office of Energy Markets and Reliability

(OEMR)uses the data collected for its various rate proceedings and economic analyses. The Office of Administrative Litigation

(OAL)uses the data collected for background research for use in litigation. The Office of General Counsel uses the data in its programs relating to the administration of the ICA. Additionally, the Office of the Executive Director

(OED)uses the data contained on certain schedules of the FERC Form 6 to compute annual charges which are then assessed against oil pipeline companies to recover the Commission's annual costs. These annual charges are required by Section 3401 of the Budget Act. Most notably, the ICA mandates the collection of information needed by the Commission to perform it regulatory responsibilities in the setting of the just and reasonable rates. The Commission could be held in violation of the ICA if the information was not collected. The Commission implements these filing requirements in the Code of Federal Regulations

(CFR)under 18 CFR Section 357.1 and 357.2. 5. *Respondent Description:* The respondent universe currently comprises 155 companies (on average) subject to the Commission's jurisdiction. 6. *Estimated Burden:* 28,830 total hours, 155 respondents (average), 1 response per respondent, and 189 hours per response (average). 7. *Estimated Cost Burden to respondents:* 28,830 hours/2080 hours per years × $117,321 per year = $1,692,889.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Description *The information collection submitted for OMB review contains the following:* 1. *Collection of Information:* FERC 6Q “Quarterly Financial Report of Oil Pipeline Companies.” 2. *Sponsor:* Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. 3. *Control No.:* 1902-0206. The Commission is now requesting that OMB approve and extend the expiration date for an additional three years with no changes to the existing collection. The information filed with the Commission is mandatory. 4. *Necessity of the Collection of Information:* Submission of the information is necessary for the Commission to carry out its responsibilities in implementing the statutory provisions of the Interstate Commerce Act (ICA), (49 U.S.C.). Although the Commission requires jurisdictional entities to file financial information, a general weakness in this reporting program has been the frequency with which the financial reports are required. In a rapidly changing business environment, annual reporting is simply insufficient. Financial accounting and reporting provides needed information concerning a company's past performance and its future prospects. Without reliable financial statements prepared in accordance with the Commission's Uniform System of Accounts and related regulations, the Commission would be unable to accurately determine the costs that relate to a particular time period, service or line of business. Additionally, it would be difficult to determine whether a given entity has previously been given the opportunity to recover its cost through rates, or to compare how the financial performance and results of operations of one regulated entity relates to that of another. The need for current and better disclosures in financial statements drives the increasing demand for timely, relevant and reliable financial information. As such, the FERC Form 6-Q Quarterly Report provides the Commission with a more timely and informative picture of the jurisdictional oil pipeline entities' financial and operational condition. More specifically, the Commission's Office of Enforcement

(OE)uses the FERC Form 6-Q data collected to assist in the implementation of its financial and operational audits and investigation programs, in the review of the financial condition of regulated companies, and in the assessment of energy markets. The Office of Energy Markets and Reliability

(OEMR)uses the data collected for its various rate proceedings and economic analysis. The Office of Administrative Litigation

(OAL)uses the data collected for background research for use in litigation. The Office of General Counsel

(OGC)uses the data in its programs relating to the administration of the ICA. 5. *Respondent Description:* The respondent universe currently comprises 138 companies (on average) subject to the Commission's jurisdiction. 6. *Estimated Burden:* 62,100 total hours, 138 respondents (average), 3 responses per respondent, and 150 hours per response (average). 7. *Estimated Cost Burden to respondents:* 62,100 hours/2080 hours per years × $117,321 per year = $3,646,494.

E7-6322 Filed 4-4-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Project No. 2205-039] Central Vermont Public Service Commission; Notice Dismissing Filing as Deficient March 30, 2007. On February 13, 2007, Commission staff issued an order modifying and approving a recreation plan under article 415 of the project license for the Lamoille Hydroelectric Project, located on the Lamoille River in Chittenden, Franklin, and Lamoille Counties, Vermont. 1 On March 14, 2007, Central Vermont Public Service Corporation (Central Vermont or the licensee) filed a timely request for rehearing, seeking to modify the February order. 1 118 FERC ¶ 62,125 (2007). Specifically, the licensee requests rehearing of a provision in the February order regarding an access area for canoes and car-top boats at the south end of Arrowhead Mountain Reservoir. The February order modified the licensee's recreation plan. Ordering paragraph

(C)of the February order provided that: The licensee shall acquire title in fee or the right to use in perpetuity all lands necessary to improve the access area at the south end of Arrowhead Mountain Reservoir to provide carry-in access for canoes and car-top boats. The licensee shall file documentation of the land acquisition with the Commission and include the access area at the south end of Arrowhead Mountain Reservoir in the as-built drawings. The licensee requests that the paragraph

(C)requirement be deleted and suggests that, instead, the licensee will conduct a study of alternative access sites. The licensee's rehearing request is deficient because it fails to include a Statement of Issues section separate from its arguments, as required by Rule 713 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. 2 Rule 713(c)(2) requires that a rehearing request must include a separate section entitled “Statement of Issues” listing each issue presented to the Commission in a separately enumerated paragraph that includes representative Commission and court precedent on which the participant is relying. 3 Under Rule 713, any issue not so listed will be deemed waived. Accordingly, Central Vermont's rehearing request is dismissed. 4 2 18 C.F.R. § 385.713(c)(2) (2006). *See Revision of Rules of Practice and Procedure Regarding Issue Identification* , Order No. 663, 70 FR 55723 (September 23, 2005), *FERC Statutes and Regulations* ¶ 31,193 (2005). See also, Order 663-A, effective March 23, 2006, which amended Order 663 to limit its applicability to rehearing requests. *Revision of Rules of Practice and Procedure Regarding Issue Identification* , Order No. 663-A, 71 FR 14640 (March 23, 2006), *FERC Statutes and Regulations* ¶ 31,211 (2006). 3 As explained in Order No. 663, the purpose of this requirement is to benefit all participants in a proceeding by ensuring that the filer, the Commission, and all other participants understand the issues raised by the filer, and to enable the Commission to respond to these issues. Having a clearly articulated Statement of Issues ensures that issues are properly raised before the Commission and avoids the waste of time and resources involved in litigating appeals regarding which the courts of appeals lack jurisdiction because the issues on appeal were not clearly identified before the Commission. *See* Order No. 663 at P 3-4. 4 *See, e.g., South Carolina Electric & Gas Company* , 116 FERC ¶ 61,218 (2006); and Duke Power Company, LLC, 116 FERC ¶ 61,171 (2006). We note that, even if the pleading had included the required statement of facts, we would nevertheless deny rehearing. Central Vermont concedes that “the provision of public access for canoes and car-top boats at the south end of [Arrowhead Mountain Reservoir] is desired,” and that “no detailed analysis of alternative south end access for canoes and car-top boats has been performed.” It shows no deficiency in the February order, but merely speculates that some other form of access might be preferable. Accordingly, we find the request for rehearing to be without merit. 5 5 We note that the licensee may file a request for an amendment to the license that would allow for the consideration of an alternative site for an access area, but note that such a proposal would require consultation with relevant resource agencies as well as public notice with the opportunity for comment.

The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment

(EA)on the natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by Gulfstream Natural Gas System, L.L.C. (Gulfstream) in the above-referenced docket. The EA was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. The staff concludes that approval of the proposed project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of approximately 34.30 miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline and associated aboveground facilities in Martin County and Palm Beach County, Florida. The pipeline would commence at Gulfstream's existing Station 712 in Martin County and would terminate at a newly constructed Station 705 that would connect to the proposed Florida Power & Light Company

(FPL)West County Energy Center

(WCEC)in Palm Beach County. Gulfstream has executed firm service agreement with FPL to deliver 345,000 decatherms per day (Dth/d) of natural gas to the WCEC for a primary term of 23 years. Approximately 7.15 miles of the proposed pipeline route follows the Line 700 route previously certificated by the Commission in February 2001 under Docket No. CP00-006. 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 Room, 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426,

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the Hydro Matrix Limited Partnership's (licensee) application requesting the Commission's authorization to amend its license for the Jordan Dam Hydroelectric Project. The licensee proposes to install two generating units rated at 2200 kW, rather than the authorized eighty 100 kW units. This would reduce the generating capacity of the project from 8.0 MW to 4.4 MW, and reduce the hydraulic capacity of the project form 2320 cubic feet per second

CP06-470-000; CP06-471-000; CP06-472-000; CP06-473-000; CP06-474-000] Southern LNG Inc.; Elba Express Company, L.L.C.; Southern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Availability of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Elba III Project March 30, 2007. The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared a draft Environmental Impact Statement

(EIS)for the Elba III Project, proposed by Southern LNG Inc. (Southern LNG), Elba Express Company, L.L.C. (EEC), and their parent company Southern Natural Gas Company (Southern), a subsidiary of El Paso Corporation. As described in the above-referenced dockets, this project would consist of the following components: • Southern LNG's expansion of the existing Elba Island Liquefied Natural Gas

(LNG)Import Terminal near Savannah in Chatham County, Georgia; • EEC's construction and operation of natural gas pipeline and compression facilities (Elba Express Pipeline) extending between existing facilities owned by Southern in Chatham County and those of Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation (Transco) in Hart County, Georgia and Anderson County, South Carolina; and • Southern's abandonment by sale to EEC of an undivided interest in its pipeline facilities that extend between the LNG import terminal and the existing Port Wentworth Meter Station (where the Elba Express Pipeline would begin), and purchase of an undivided interest in the first 10 miles of the Elba Express Pipeline. The draft EIS was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), and was completed with the cooperation of the U.S. Coast Guard (Coast Guard), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries). A cooperating agency has jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to potential environmental impacts associated with the proposal, and participates in the NEPA analysis. The Coast Guard is responsible for determining the suitability of a waterway for LNG marine traffic; in this instance, the determination would be issued as a Letter of Recommendation with conditions. The Captain of the Port Savannah is the point of contact for this action. The COE would need to evaluate the project and issue Section 404 Permits for wetland impacts associated with expansion of the terminal and pipeline construction, easements where the pipeline would cross COE-managed lands, modifications to existing COE Mitigation Lands, and an approval for a large fuel-carrying pipeline to cross federal property. NOAA Fisheries has responsibilities for evaluating potential impacts on essential fish habitat and threatened or endangered aquatic species. The FERC staff has concluded that if the project is constructed and operated in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, each project sponsor's proposed mitigation, and the staff's additional mitigation recommendations, it would have limited adverse environmental impact and would be an environmentally acceptable action. The draft EIS addresses the potential environmental effects of construction and operation of the following LNG terminal and natural gas pipeline facilities: Elba Terminal Expansion The proposed expansion of the existing LNG import terminal would:

(a)More than double the site's LNG storage capacity by adding 405,000 cubic meters (m 3 ) of new storage;

(b)substantially increase the facility's existing vaporization capacity;

(c)upgrade the terminal's send-out meter station to increase the natural gas send-out capacity of the facility by an additional 900 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd); and

(d)modify the terminal's LNG tanker berthing and unloading facilities to accommodate larger tankers and provide for simultaneous unloading of two LNG tankers. All of the planned facilities would be located entirely within the existing 190-acre facility site on Elba Island. The LNG terminal expansion would be constructed in two phases, A and B. Southern LNG anticipates completing Phase A as early as January 2010. Phase A would include the following facilities: a. One new 200,000-m 3 (1.25 million barrels [bbls]) LNG storage tank, one associated boil-off gas condenser, and three boil-off gas compressors; b. three submerged combustion vaporizers, each with a peak capacity of 180 MMcfd (providing a total peak send-out capacity of 1,755 MMcfd for the full facility at the completion of phase A); and c. modifications to the unloading docks to accommodate larger LNG tankers and to allow simultaneous unloading of two LNG tankers. The modifications to the dual berthing slip include: —Adding four mooring dolphins (two for each berth); —dredging approximately 72,000 cubic yards of material from the slope at the back of the existing slip (and disposing of dredged material into the existing spoil disposal area adjacent to the terminal); and —installing a sheet pile bulkhead at the back of the slip. These modifications would allow the slip to accommodate larger LNG tankers with an approximate overall length of 345 meters

(m)(compared to the current 288 m), breadth of 55 m (currently 49 m), design laden draft of 12.0 m (currently 11.7 m), and displacement of 177,000 metric tons (currently 128,000 metric tons). Phase B would be completed no later than December 2012 and would include the following facilities: a. one new 200,000-m 3 (1.25 million bbls) LNG storage tank; and b. three submerged combustion vaporizers (two for service and one spare), each with a peak capacity of 180 MMcfd (providing a total peak send-out capacity of 2,115 MMcfd for the full facility at the completion of phase B). Each phase would include all necessary ancillary equipment including related pumps, piping, controls and appurtenances, and associated systems (electrical, mechanical, civil, instrumentation, hazard detection, and fire protection) and buildings necessary to accommodate the associated tanks and vaporizer units. Elba Express Pipeline EEC proposes to construct and operate about 188 miles of new natural gas pipeline and appurtenant facilities in Georgia and South Carolina. The pipeline would be constructed in two phases. The first phase is proposed to be placed in service no later than July 2011 with a design capacity of 945 MMcfd, and would consist of: a. a “Southern Segment,” which includes about 104.8 miles of 42-inch-diameter pipeline extending from Port Wentworth to the existing Southern Wrens Compressor Station (Wrens) in Jefferson County, Georgia (to be collocated with existing Southern pipelines); and b. a “Northern Segment,” which includes about 83.1 miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline extending from Wrens to interconnects with Transco in Hart County, Georgia, and Anderson County, South Carolina. The second phase would involve construction and operation of a new 10,000-horsepower compressor station near Millen, Jenkins County, Georgia, on a site where Southern currently operates other aboveground facilities. The compressor station would increase the pipeline design capacity by 230 MMcfd to a total of 1,175 MMcfd, and is proposed to be placed in service no later than January 2013.

The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment

(EA)on the natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by Texas Eastern Transmission, LP (Texas Eastern) in the above-referenced docket. The EA was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. The FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of Texas Eastern's proposed Texas Eastern Incremental Market Expansion II Project (TIME II). The TIME II project would involve construction, replacement, and operation of facilities by Texas Eastern Transmission, LP (Texas Eastern) in Pickaway and Monroe Counties, Ohio and Somerset, Bedford, Franklin, Bucks, Fayette, and Adams Counties, Pennsylvania. The purpose of the facilities is to provide up to 150,000 dekatherms per day of new transportation service to the New Jersey market area. 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 Room, 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426,

The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission), with the cooperation of the U.S. Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management

(BLM)and the Sweetwater County Conservation District, has prepared an environmental assessment

(EA)on the natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by Wyoming Interstate Company, Ltd. in the above-referenced docket. The EA was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. The staff concludes that approval of the proposed Kanda Lateral and Mainline Expansion Project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The BLM is participating as a cooperating agency in the preparation of the EA because the project would cross federal lands under BLM administration in Utah and Wyoming. The EA will be used by the BLM to consider the issuance of a right-of-way grant for the portion of the project on Federal lands. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the proposed project. The project is comprised of two components. The first component includes 123.7 miles of 24-inch-diameter pipeline commencing at a new interconnect in Uintah County, Utah and traversing in a northerly direction through Daggett County, Utah to a proposed interconnect in Sweetwater County, Wyoming. The second component involves the installation of two compressor units at the existing Wamsutter Compressor Station located in Sweetwater County, Wyoming. The proposed pipeline would deliver up to 400,000 decatherms per day to Kerr-McGee Corporation in response to increasing gas production in the Uintah Basin in eastern Utah to West, Central, and Eastern markets. Additional pipeline facilities would consist of pig launchers/receivers, meter stations and associated interconnects, and mainline block valves.

The FCC has a system of records notice (SORN), FCC/WTB-1, “Wireless Services Licensing Records,” to cover the collection, maintenance, use(s), and destruction of this PII, which respondents may provide to the FCC as part of the information collection requirement(s). This SORN was published in the **Federal Register** on April 5, 2006 (71 FR 17234, 17269). *Needs and Uses:* The Commission will submit this information collection to the OMB as a revision after this 60 day comment period to obtain the full three-year clearance from them. This information collection will be used by the Commission for the following purposes:

(1)To facilitate the successful coexistence of incumbent and geographic area paging licensees;

(2)to lessen the administrative burden on licensees and to simplify the paging licensing database;

(3)to determine the partitioned service areas and the geographic area licensee's remaining service area of parties to a partitioning agreement;

The FCC has a system of records notice (SORN), FCC/WTB-1, “Wireless Services Licensing Records,” to cover the collection, maintenance, use(s), and destruction of this PII, which respondents may provide to the FCC as part of the information collection requirement(s). This SORN was published in the **Federal Register** on April 5, 2006 (71 FR 17234, 17269). *Needs and Uses:* The Commission will submit this information collection to the OMB as an extension (no change in reporting requirements) after this 60 day comment period to obtain the full three-year clearance from them. The Commission has adjusted the number of respondents because they increased; therefore, the burden hours have also increased. The purpose of this information collection is to continually streamline and simplify processes for wireless applicants and licensees, who previously used a myriad of forms for various wireless services and types of requests, in order to provide the Commission, information that has been collected in separate databases, each for a different group of services. Such processes have resulted in unreliable reporting, duplicate filings for the same licensees/applicants, and higher cost burdens to licensees/applicants. By streamlining the Universal Licensing System (ULS), the Commission eliminates the filing of duplicative applications for wireless carriers; increases the accuracy and reliability of licensing information; and enables all wireless applicants and licensees to file all licensing-related applications and other filings electronically, thus increasing the speed and efficiency of the application process. The ULS also benefits wireless applicants/licensees by reducing the cost of preparing applications, and speeds up the licensing process in that the Commission can introduce new entrants more quickly into this already competitive industry. Finally, ULS enhances the availability of licensing information to the public which has access to all publicly available wireless licensing information on-line, including maps depicting a licensee's geographic service area.
