Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 18, 2018 / Notices 64817 

6The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation 

regulations are at Title 36, Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 800. Those regulations define 

historic properties as any prehistoric or historic 

district, site, building, structure, or object included 

in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register 

of Historic Places. 

using this notice to initiate consultation 

with the applicable State Historic 

Preservation Office(s), and to solicit 

their views and those of other 

government agencies, interested Indian 

tribes, and the public on the project’s 

potential effects on historic properties.6

Commission staff will define the 

project-specific Area of Potential Effects 

(APE) in consultation with the SHPO(s) 

as the project develops. On natural gas 

facility projects, the APE at a minimum 

encompasses all areas subject to ground 

disturbance (examples include 

construction right-of-way, contractor/ 

pipe storage yards, compressor stations, 

and access roads). The environmental 

document for this project will document 

the Commission staff’s findings on the 

impacts on historic properties and 

summarize the status of consultations 

under section 106. 

Currently Identified Environmental 

Issues 

Commission staff have already 

identified several issues that deserve 

attention based on a preliminary review 

of the planned facilities and the 

environmental information provided by 

Summit. This preliminary list of issues 

may change based on your comments 

and our analysis. 

• the project crosses federal lands 

managed by the BLM in New Mexico; 

• the project crosses lands managed 

by New Mexico State Lands Trust; 

• one or more known cultural 

resources sites may be impacted by the 

project; and 

• sensitive plant and animal species 

may be affected by the project. 

Environmental Mailing List 

The environmental mailing list 

includes federal, state, and local 

government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American Tribes; other 

interested parties; and local libraries 

and newspapers. This list also includes 

all affected landowners (as defined in 

the Commission’s regulations) who are 

potential right-of-way grantors, whose 

property may be used temporarily for 

project purposes, or who own homes 

within certain distances of aboveground 

facilities, and anyone who submits 

comments on the project. Commission 

staff will update the environmental 

mailing list as the analysis proceeds to 

ensure that Commission notices related 

to this environmental review are sent to 

all individuals, organizations, and 

government entities interested in and/or 

potentially affected by the planned 

project. 

When the Commission issues the 

environmental document for an allotted 

public comment period, a Notice of 

Availability of the environmental 

document will be sent to the 

environmental mailing list and will 

provide instructions to access the 

electronic document on the FERC’s 

website (www.ferc.gov). If you need to 

make changes to your name/address, or 

if you would like to remove your name 

from the mailing list, please return the 

attached ‘‘Mailing List Update Form’’ 

(appendix 3). 

Becoming an Intervenor 

Once Summit files its application 

with the Commission, you may want to 

become an ‘‘intervenor’’ which is an 

official party to the Commission’s 

proceeding. Only intervenors have the 

right to seek rehearing of the 

Commission’s decision and be heard by 

the courts if they choose to appeal the 

Commission’s final ruling. An 

intervenor formally participates in the 

proceeding by filing a request to 

intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedures (18 CFR 385.214). Motions 

to intervene are more fully described at 

http://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/ 

how-to/intervene.asp. Please note that 

the Commission will not accept requests 

for intervenor status at this time. You 

must wait until the Commission 

receives a formal application for the 

project, after which the Commission 

will issue a public notice that 

establishes an intervention deadline.

1 ‘‘Burden’’ is defined as 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. For further 

explanation of what is included in the information 

collection burden, reference 5 Code of Federal 

Regulations 1320.3. 

2The estimates for cost per response are derived 

using the following formula: Average Burden Hours 

per Response * $79.00/hour = Average cost/ 

response. The figure is the 2018 FERC average 

hourly cost (for wages and benefits) of $79.00 (and 

an average annual salary of $164,820/year). 

Commission staff is using the FERC average salary 

because we consider any reporting requirements 

completed in response to the FERC–592 to be 

compensated at rates similar to the work of FERC 

employees. 

3The requirements for this collection are 

contained in 18 CFR part 358 and 18 CFR part 

250.16.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Standards of Conduct for 

Transmission Provider and Marketing 

Affiliates of Interstate Pipelines. 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0157. 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–592 information collection 

requirements with no changes to the 

current reporting requirements. 

Abstract: The Commission uses the 

information maintained and posted by 

the respondents to monitor the 

pipeline’s transportation, sales, and 

storage activities for its marketing 

affiliate to deter undue discrimination 

by pipeline companies in favor of their 

marketing affiliates. Non-affiliated 

shippers and other entities (e.g. state 

commissions) also use information to 

determine whether they have been 

harmed by affiliate preference and to 

prepare evidence for proceedings 

following the filing of a complaint. 

18 CFR Part 358 (Standards of Conduct) 

Respondents maintain and provide 

the information required by part 358 on 

their internet websites. When the 

Commission requires a pipeline to post 

information on its website following a 

disclosure of non-public information to 

its marketing affiliate, non-affiliated 

shippers obtain comparable access to 

the non-public transportation 

information, which allows them to 

compete with marketing affiliates on a 

more equal basis. 

18 CFR 250.16, and the FERC–592 Log/ 

Format 

This form (log/format) provides the 

electronic formats for maintaining 

information on discounted 

transportation transactions and capacity 

allocation to support monitoring of 

activities of interstate pipeline 

marketing affiliates. Commission staff 

considers discounts given to shippers in 

litigated rate cases. 

Without this information collection: 

• The Commission would be unable 

to effectively monitor whether pipelines 

are giving discriminatory preference to 

their marketing affiliates; and 

• non-affiliated shippers and state 

commissions and others would be 

unable to determine if they have been 

harmed by affiliate preference or 

prepare evidence for proceedings 

following the filing of a complaint. 

Type of Respondents: Natural gas 

pipelines. 

Estimate of Annual Burden:1 The 

Commission estimates the annual 

reporting burden and cost for the
