is a company that ‘‘owns or operates 

facilities that are not located in any state 

and that are used for the generation, 

transmission, or distribution of electric 

energy for sale or the distribution at 

retail of natural or manufactured gas for 

heat, light, or power, if such company: 

(1) Derives no part of its income, 

directly or indirectly, from the 

generation, transmission, or distribution 

of electric energy for sale or the 

distribution at retail of natural or 

manufactured gas for heat, light, or 

power, within the United States; and (2) 

neither the company nor any of its 

subsidiary companies is a public-utility 

company operating in the United 

States’’.4

An exempt EWG or FUCO or its 

representative may file with the 

Commission a notice of self certification 

demonstrating that it satisfies the 

definition of exempt wholesale 

generator or foreign utility company. In 

the case of EWGs, the person filing a 

notice of self certification must also file 

a copy of the notice of self certification 

with the state regulatory authority of the 

state in which the facility is located and 

that person must also represent to the 

Commission in its submission that it has 

filed a copy of the notice with the 

appropriate state regulatory authority.5

A submission of the information is 

necessary for the Commission to carry 

out its responsibilities under EPAct 

2005.6 The Commission implements its 

responsibilities through the Code of 

Federal Regulations, 18 CFR Part 366. 

These filing requirements are 

mandatory. 

Action: The Commission is requesting 

a three-year extension of the current 

expiration date, with no change to the 

existing collection of data.

Estimated cost to respondents is 

$72,549.27 [1,194 hours divided by 

2080 hours 7 per year, times $126,384 8

equals $72,549.27]. The average cost per 

respondent is $364.57. 

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 collections of information 

are 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 

estimates of the burden of the proposed 

collections 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 

collections 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.

Dominion Transmission, Inc.; Notice of 

Application 

January 26, 2009. 

Take notice that on January 8, 2009, 

Dominion Transmission, Inc. (DTI), 120 

Tredegar Street, Richmond, Virginia, 

filed in the above referenced docket an 

application pursuant to section 7(c) of 

the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 

of the Commission’s regulations, for an 

order granting a certificate of public 

convenience and necessity authorizing 

DTI to construct, install, own, operate, 

and maintain certain facilities located in 

Kanawha and Clay Counties, West 

Virginia, all as more fully set forth in 

the application which is on file with the 

Commission and open to public 

inspection. The filing is available for 

review at the Commission in the Public 

Reference Room or may be viewed on 

the Commission’s Web site at 

http://www.ferc.gov using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket 

number excluding the last three digits in 

the docket number field to access the

Specifically, DTI proposes to replace 

approximately 27.71 miles of its H–162 

line with new 20-inch diameter 

pipeline. Once completed, DTI will 

convert the new line from gathering to 

transmission. Concurrently, DTI 

requests authority to refunctionalize 

line TL–272, which runs parallel to line 

H–162, from gathering to transmission.

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 

the 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 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s FEIS or EA. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below, file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

14 copies of filings made in the 

proceeding with the Commission and 

must mail a copy to the applicant and 

to every other party. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commentors will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commentors will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commentors 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests 

and interventions in lieu of paper using 

the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http:// 

www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file 

electronically should submit an original 

and 14 copies of the protest or 

intervention to the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First 

Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. 

This filing is accessible online at 

http://www.ferc.gov, using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link and is available for 

review in the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room in Washington, DC. 

There is an ‘‘eSubscription’’ link on the 

Web site that enables subscribers to 

receive e-mail notification when a 

document is added to a subscribed 

docket(s). For assistance with any FERC 

Online service, please e-mail
