SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposed collection will be used by the 

Department and electric sector owners 

and operators to identify best practices 

and potential resource allocations for 

cybersecurity in terms of supply chain 

management, information sharing, asset, 

change and configuration management, 

and risk management, among others. It 

is imperative that the owners and 

operators of the nation’s electric 

utilities, as well as the government 

agencies supporting the sector, have the 

ability to understand what capabilities 

and competencies will allow the sector 

to defend itself, and how to prioritize 

necessary investments. This initiative 

supports strategies identified in the 

White House Cyberspace Policy Review 

2010 and the 2011 Roadmap to Achieve 

Energy Delivery Systems Cybersecurity. 

A maturity model approach was deemed 

to be a reasonable way to leverage 

existing efforts to implement key 

strategies designed to measure the 

sector’s cybersecurity posture and to 

enable utilities to make strategic 

investments that will increase 

cybersecurity throughout the electricity 

sector. The pilot process will request 

feedback from a limited set of 

participants on both the model’s and the 

assessment tool’s structure and 

application to the unique attributes of 

the sector. The model structure includes 

domains—logical groupings of 

cybersecurity risk management 

activities—and maturity indicator levels 

(MILs). The content within each domain 

includes characteristics, which are 

expressions of domain activities at each 

level of maturity. The model is 

developed as a common model that can 

be used by the various types of entities 

operating within the sector, including 

investor-owned, municipal, and 

cooperative utilities. It will also enable 

utilities to communicate cybersecurity 

capabilities in meaningful terms and 

prioritize their cybersecurity actions 

and investments. 

The OMB is particularly interested in 

comments that: 

• 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; 

• 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; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• 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. 

This information collection request 

contains: (1) OMB No. New; (2) 

Information Collection Request Title: 

Electric Sector Cybersecurity Risk 

Management Maturity Initiative; (3) 

Type of Request: New; (4) Purpose: The 

Department of Energy, at the request of 

the White House, and in collaboration 

with DHS and industry experts, has 

developed a maturity model with 

owners, operators and subject matter 

experts to meet their request to identify 

and prioritize capabilities relative to 

risk and cost; (5) Annual Estimated 

Number of Respondents: 17; (6) Annual 

Estimated Number of Total Responses: 

17; (7) Annual Estimated Number of 

Burden Hours: 136; (8) Annual 

Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping 

Cost Burden: $0.

Department of Energy Organization Act,

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP12–91–000] 

Leaf River Energy Center LLC; Notice 

of Application 

On March 20, 2012, Leaf River Energy 

Center LLC (Leaf River), 53 Riverside 

Avenue, Westport, Connecticut 06880, 

filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission (Commission) an 

application under section 7(c) of the 

Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended, 

and part 157 of the Commission’s 

regulations for an order amending the 

certificate of public convenience and 

necessity issued in Docket No. CP08–8– 

000 as amended in Docket No. CP11– 

107–000, to authorize Leaf River to 

reallocate the aggregate total facility 

certificated storage capacity of the Leaf 

River Energy Center among the 

previously authorized caverns, all as 

more fully detailed in the Application. 

Leaf River states that this amendment 

does not involve any change in total 

facility certificated capacity, pressures, 

injection rates or withdrawal rates 

authorized by the Commission in the 

original certificate order, but will result 

in changes in individual cavern 

capacities. 

Questions regarding the application 

may be directed to James F. Bowe, Jr.,
