denied, curtailed, or interrupted for more than 24 

hours in the past 12 months; and any path for 

which a customer requests to have ATC or TTC 

posted. For this last category, the posting must 

continue for 180 days and thereafter until 180 days 

have elapsed from the most recent request for 

service over the requested path. For purposes of this 

definition, an hour includes any part of an hour 

during which service was denied, curtailed, or 

interrupted. 10Burden 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, refer to 5 CFR 1320.3. 

11The Commission staff thinks that the average 

respondent for this collection is similarly situated 

to the Commission, in terms of salary plus benefits. 

Based upon FERC’s FY 2022 annual average of 

$199,867 (for salary plus benefits), and the average 

hourly cost is $96/hour. 

requires Transmission Providers to post 

prices and a summary of the terms and 

conditions associated with all 

transmission products offered to 

Transmission Customers. Paragraph (d) 

of 18 CFR 37.6 requires Transmission 

Providers to post any ancillary service 

required to be provided or offered under 

the pro forma OATT. 

Standards of Conduct 

The Commission established 

Standards of Conduct at 18 CFR 37.4 

requiring that personnel engaged in 

transmission system operations function 

independently from personnel engaged 

in marketing functions. The Standards 

of Conduct were designed to prevent 

employees of a public utility (or any of 

its affiliates) engaged in marketing 

functions from preferential access to 

OASIS-related information or from 

engaging in unduly discriminatory 

business practices. Companies were 

required to separate their transmission 

operations/reliability functions from 

their marketing/merchant functions and 

prevent system operators from 

providing merchant employees and 

employees of affiliates with 

transmission-related information not 

available to all customers at the same 

time through public posting on the 

OASIS. 

Type of Respondents: Transmission 

Providers. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 10 The 

previous information collection request 

(ICR Reference No. 202002–1902–006) 

in the year 2020 was approved by OMB 

with a one-time burden that was 

expected to be completed in Year One. 

As averaged over a three-year period, 

the annual responses were estimated as 

165 annually, 10 hours per response, 

and total hours of 1,650 hours. These 

burdens are not included in this 

information collection request because 

all respondents have complied with that 

one-time burden. The removal of those 

burdens constitutes a program change. 

The estimated annual number of 

responses for the ongoing information 

collection activity are adjusted in this 

information collection request from 162 

to 216, an increase of 54 responses. 

Based on a review of the information 

collection since our last submission, we 

have determined this change in number 

of responses is due to changes in the 

regulated industry. 

The current burden estimates are 

shown in the following table.

Commission 

[Docket No. CP23–547–000] 

Honeoye Storage Corporation; Notice 

of Application and Establishing 

Intervention Deadline 

Take notice that on September 22, 

2023, Honeoye Storage Corporation 

(Honeoye), 4511 Egypt Road, 

Canandaigua, NY, 14424, filed an 

application under section 7(b) of the 

Natural Gas Act (NGA), and part 157 of 

the Commission’s regulations requesting 

authorization to abandon certain 

certificated natural gas storage capacity 

at Honeoye’s natural gas storage facility 

in Canandaigua, New York. Specifically, 

Honeoye seeks authority to abandon 

974,400 Dth of previously certificated 

storage capacity which would reduce its 

total capacity of the Honeoye storage 

facility from 11,701,900 Dth to 

10,727,500 Dth; and to reduce its 

Maximum Daily Withdrawal Quantity 

by 3,880 Dth from 55,880 Dth to 52,000 

Dth. Honeoye states that the reduced 

Maximum Allowable Operating 

Pressure of its gathering system requires 

it to reduce the firm storage capacity 

and maximum daily deliverability of the 

Honeoye storage field and to reset the 

relationship between working gas 

capacity and base/cushion gas capacity 

in the Honeoye storage field, all as more 

fully set forth in the application which 

is on file with the Commission and open 

for public inspection. 

In addition to publishing the full text

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure,1 within 90 days of this 

Notice the Commission staff will either: 

complete its environmental review 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 environmental assessment (EA) for 

this proposal. The filing of an 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. 

Public Participation 

There are three ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project: you can file comments on 

the project, you can protest the filing, 

and you can file a motion to intervene 

in the proceeding. There is no fee or 

cost for filing comments or intervening. 

The deadline for filing a motion to 

intervene is 5 p.m. Eastern Time on 

October 27, 2023. How to file protests, 

motions to intervene, and comments is 

explained below. 

The Commission’s Office of Public 

Participation (OPP) supports meaningful 

public engagement and participation in 

Commission proceedings. OPP can help 

members of the public, including 

landowners, environmental justice 

communities, Tribal members and 

others, access publicly available 

information and navigate Commission 

processes. For public inquiries and 

assistance with making filings such as 

interventions, comments, or requests for 

rehearing, the public is encouraged to 

contact OPP at (202)502–6595 or OPP@

ferc.gov. 

Comments 

Any person wishing to comment on 

the project may do so. Comments may 

include statements of support or 

objections, to the project as a whole or 

specific aspects of the project. The more 

specific your comments, the more useful 

they will be. 

Protests 

Pursuant to sections 157.10(a)(4) 2 and 

385.211 3 of the Commission’s 

regulations under the NGA, any person 4

may file a protest to the application. 

Protests must comply with the 

requirements specified in section 

385.2001 5 of the Commission’s 

regulations. A protest may also serve as 

a motion to intervene so long as the 

protestor states it also seeks to be an 

intervenor. 

To ensure that your comments or 

protests are timely and properly 

recorded, please submit your comments 

on or before October 27, 2023. 

There are three methods you can use 

to submit your comments or protests to 

the Commission. In all instances, please 

reference the Project docket number 

CP23–547–000 in your submission. 

(1) You may file your comments 

electronically by using the eComment 

feature, which is located on the 

Commission’s website at www.ferc.gov 

under the link to Documents and 

Filings. Using eComment is an easy 

method for interested persons to submit 

brief, text-only comments on a project; 

(2) You may file your comments or 

protests electronically by using the 

eFiling feature, which is located on the 

Commission’s website (www.ferc.gov) 

under the link to Documents and 

Filings. With eFiling, you can provide 

comments in a variety of formats by 

attaching them as a file with your 

submission. New eFiling users must 

first create an account by clicking on 

‘‘eRegister.’’ You will be asked to select 

the type of filing you are making; first 

select ‘‘General’’ and then select 

‘‘Comment on a Filing’’; or 

(3) You can file a paper copy of your 

comments or protests by mailing them 

to the following address below. Your

electronic filing of comments (options 1 

and 2 above) and has eFiling staff 

available to assist you at (202) 502–8258 

or FercOnlineSupport@ferc.gov. 

Persons who comment on the 

environmental review of this project 

will be placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, and will 

receive notification when the 

environmental documents (EA or EIS) 

are issued for this project and will be 

notified of meetings associated with the 

Commission’s environmental review 

process. 

The Commission considers all 

comments received about the project in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken. However, the filing of a comment 

alone will not serve to make the filer a 

party to the proceeding. To become a 

party, you must intervene in the 

proceeding. For instructions on how to 

intervene, see below. 

Interventions 

Any person, which includes 

individuals, organizations, businesses, 

municipalities, and other entities,6 has 

the option to file a motion to intervene 

in this proceeding. Only intervenors 

have the right to request rehearing of 

Commission orders issued in this 

proceeding and to subsequently 

challenge the Commission’s orders in 

the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal. 

To intervene, you must submit a 

motion to intervene to the Commission 

in accordance with Rule 214 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure 7 and the regulations under 

the NGA 8 by the intervention deadline 

for the project, which is October 27, 

2023. As described further in Rule 214, 

your motion to intervene must state, to 

the extent known, your position 

regarding the proceeding, as well as 

your interest in the proceeding. For an 

individual, this could include your 

status as a landowner, ratepayer, 

resident of an impacted community, or 

recreationist. You do not need to have 

property directly impacted by the 

project in order to intervene. For more 

information about motions to intervene, 

refer to the FERC website at https://

www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/ 

intervene.asp. 

There are two ways to submit your 

motion to intervene. In both instances,

applicant and all other parties to the 

proceeding. Contact information for 

parties can be downloaded from the 

service list at the eService link on FERC

link to the document. 

All timely, unopposed 9 motions to 

intervene are automatically granted by 

operation of Rule 214(c)(1).10 Motions to 

intervene that are filed after the 

intervention deadline are untimely, and 

may be denied. Any late-filed motion to 

intervene must show good cause for 

being late and must explain why the 

time limitation should be waived and 

provide justification by reference to 

factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the 

Commission’s Rules and Regulations.11

A person obtaining party status will be 

placed on the service list maintained by 

the Secretary of the Commission and 

will receive copies (paper or electronic) 

of all documents filed by the applicant 

and by all other parties. 

Tracking the Proceeding 

Throughout the proceeding, 

additional information about the project 

will be available from the Commission’s 

Office of External Affairs, at (866) 208– 

FERC, or on the FERC website at 

www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link 

as described above. The eLibrary link 

also provides access to the texts of all 

formal documents issued by the 

Commission, such as orders, notices, 

and rulemakings. 

In addition, the Commission offers a 

free service called eSubscription which 

allows you to keep track of all formal 

issuances and submittals in specific 

dockets. This can reduce the amount of 

time you spend researching proceedings 

by automatically providing you with 

notification of these filings, document 

summaries, and direct links to the 

documents. For more information and to
