SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

information collected under the 

requirements of FERC–542 ‘‘Gas 

Pipeline Rates: Rate Tracking’’ (OMB 

No. 1902–0070) is used by the 

Commission to implement the statutory 

provisions of Title IV of the Natural Gas 

Policy Act (NGPA), 15 U.S.C. 3301– 

3432, and Sections 4, 5 and 16 of the 

Natural Gas Act (NGA) (P.L. 75–688) (15 

U.S.C. 717–717w). These statutes 

empower the Commission to collect 

natural gas transmission cost 

information from interstate natural gas 

transporters for the purpose of verifying 

that these costs, which are passed on to 

pipeline customers, are just and 

reasonable. 

Interstate natural gas pipeline 

companies are required by the 

Commission to track their 

transportation-associated costs to allow 

for the Commission’s review and, where 

appropriate, approve the pass-through 

of these costs to pipeline customers. 

These FERC–542 tracking filings are 

accountings of the cost of (1) Research, 

development, and deployment 

expenditures; (2) annual charge 

adjustments; and (3) periodic rate 

adjustments. 

ACTION: The Commission is requesting a 

three-year extension of the FERC–542 

reporting requirements, with the burden 

and cost estimates published in its 

August 2010 Notice. There is no change 

to the reporting requirements. 

Burden Statement: The public 

reporting burden for this collection is 

estimated as: 

FERC data collection 

Annual 

number of 

respondents 

Number of 

responses per 

respondent 

Average 

burden hours 

per response 

Total annual burden hours 

(1) (2) (3) (1) × (2) × (3) 

FERC–542 ...................................................... 95 3.5 40 13,300 

The FERC’s estimated cost burden to 

respondents is $881,598 (13,300 hours/ 

2080 hours 1 times $137,874 2). The cost 

per respondent is $9,280. 

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, including 

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.

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 2594–013–MT] 

Northern Lights, Inc.; Notice of 

Availability of Environmental 

Assessment 

December 9, 2010. 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission (Commission) regulations, 

18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 

47879), the Office of Energy Projects has 

reviewed the application for a new 

license for the existing Lake Creek 

Hydroelectric Project, located on Lake 

Creek in Lincoln County, Montana, near 

the City of Troy and prepared a final 

environmental assessment (EA). The 

project does not occupy federal lands. 

The Final EA contains the staff’s 

analysis of the potential environmental 

impacts of the project and concludes 

that licensing the project would not 

constitute a major federal action that 

would significantly affect the quality of 

the human environment. 

A copy of the Final EA is on file with 

the Commission and is available for 

public inspection. The Final EA may
