**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.

Statutory Authority: Section 301 of the Department of Energy Organization Act, codified at 42 U.S.C. 7151.

**[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., Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, 1101 New York Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20005– 4213, 202–346–8000 (phone), 202–346– 8102 (fax), or jbowe@dl.com.

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9, within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either: complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the Commission’s public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff’s issuance of the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission’s public record for this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days of
