Energy Information Administration 

Agency Information Collection 

Extension 

AGENCY: U.S. Energy Information 

Administration (EIA), U.S. Department 

of Energy (DOE). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EIA submitted an information 

collection request for extension as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995. The information collection 

requests a three-year extension with 

changes to Form EIA–63C, Densified 

Biomass Fuel Report under OMB 

Control Number 1905–0209. Form EIA– 

63C collects data on wood pellet fuel 

and other densified biomass fuel 

production, sales, and inventory levels 

from U.S. manufacturing facilities of 

densified biomass fuel products for the 

purpose of estimating densified biomass 

fuel consumption in the United States, 

as well as production, sales, and 

inventory at state, regional, and national 

levels. 

DATES: EIA must receive all comments 

on this proposed information collection 

no later than July 26, 2018. If you 

anticipate any difficulties in submitting 

your comments by the deadline, contact 

the DOE Desk Officer at 202–395–0710. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be sent to: 

DOE Desk Officer: Brandon Debruhl,

Affairs, Office of Management and

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for additional information or 

copies of the information collection 

instrument and instructions, should be 

directed to Connor Murphy at 202–287– 

5982, or by email Connor.Murphy@

Densified Biomass Fuel Report online at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request contains: 

(1) OMB No. 1905–0209; 

(2) Information Collection Request 

Title: Densified Biomass Fuel Report; 

(3) Type of Request: Three-year 

extension with changes; 

(4) Purpose: Form EIA–63C Densified 

Biomass Fuel Report is part of EIA’s 

comprehensive energy data program. 

The survey collects information on the 

manufacture, shipment, exports, energy 

characteristics, and sales of pellet fuels 

and other densified biomass fuel 

products data from facilities that 

manufacture densified biomass fuel 

products, primarily pellet fuels, for 

energy applications. The data collected 

are a primary source of information for 

the nation’s growing production of 

biomass products for heating and 

electric power generation, for use in 

both domestic and foreign markets. 

(4a) Changes to Information 

Collection: Respondents will no longer 

have to answer the following six 

questions: 

• Part 2 Question 2.2 ‘‘What is the 

operational month’’ 

• Part 2 Question 2.4 ‘‘What is the total 

installed horsepower of the pellet 

extrusion machinery at this facility’’ 

• Part 2. Question 2.6 ‘‘What is the 

planned maximum annual production 

capacity at this facility’’ 

• Part 2. Question 2.7 ‘‘What is the 

planned total installed horsepower of 

the pellet extrusion machinery at this 

facility’’ 

• Part 3. Question 3.2 ‘‘In the reporting 

period, did the mill utilize any 

portion of the above feedstock for uses 

other than transformation into 

densified biomass products, such as 

to operate the mill, produce electricity 

(combined heat and power) or other 

beneficial use of energy produced 

(such as heating/cooling)’’ 

• Part 4. Question 4.2 ‘‘Export Port.’’ 

EIA also removed the requirement to 

report quantity, characteristics, 

inventory, and revenue data on 

compressed fuel logs, bricks and 

briquettes from on questions 3.3, 3.4 

and 4.1. 

Finally, the due date for annual 

respondents (small biomass fuel 

manufacturers having a capacity of less 

than 10,000 tons per year or planned 

facilities) to report is changed from 

February 1 to June 1 to coincide with 

the industry’s off-season and ease their 

reporting burden during the heating 

season which is their busiest time of the 

year. Respondents that need to file 

annually will only need to report 

limited data in Parts 1 and 2 of the form; 

(5) Annual Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 108; 

(6) Annual Estimated Number of 

Total Responses: 1,065; 

(7) Annual Estimated Number of 

Burden Hours: 1,467; 

(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: The cost of 

the burden hours is estimated to be 

$111,026 (1,467 burden hours times 

$75.69 per hour). EIA estimates that 

there are no additional costs to 

respondents associated with the survey 

other than the costs associated with the 

burden hours. 

Statutory Authority: Section 13(b) of 

the Federal Energy Administration Act 

of 1974, Pub. L. 93–275, codified as 15 

U.S.C. 772(b) and the DOE Organization 

Act of 1977, Pub. L. 95–91, codified at

Commission 

[Project No. 14878–000] 

FreedomWorks, LLC; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On June 1, 2018, FreedomWorks, LLC, 

filed an application for a preliminary 

permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 

Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to 

study the feasibility of the Mt. Storm 

Pumped Storage Hydro Project to be 

located near Bismarck in Grant County, 

West Virginia. The sole purpose of a 

preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant 

the permit holder priority to file a 

license application during the permit 

term. A preliminary permit does not 

authorize the permit holder to perform 

any land-disturbing activities or 

otherwise enter upon lands or waters 

owned by others without the owners’ 

express permission. 

The proposed project would consist of 

the following: (1) An existing Mt. Storm 

Lake as an upper reservoir with a 

surface area of 1,200 acres and a storage 

capacity of 44,000 acre-feet at a surface 

elevation of approximately 3,200 feet 

above mean sea level (msl); (2) as many 

as two new lower reservoirs with a 

combined surface area of 690 acres and 

a combined storage capacity of 12,000 

acre-feet at a surface elevation of 2,350 

to 2,425 feet msl created through 

construction of new semi-circular dams 

and/or dikes; (3) as many as eight new 

10,000-foot-long, 4-foot-diameter 

penstocks connecting the upper 

reservoir and lower reservoir; (4) two 

new 300-foot-long, 50-foot-wide, 25- 

foot-high powerhouses containing four 

turbine-generator units with a total rated 

capacity of 1,000 megawatts; (5) a new 

transmission line connecting the 

powerhouse to a nearby electric grid
