consistent with, or be a logical extension of, the scope, goals, and objectives of each grantee’s application, as approved following the 2007 TCPCTIP competition. If we publish the proposed waivers and extension as final, we would award continuation grants based on information provided to us by each grantee, indicating that it is making substantial progress performing its TCPCTIP grant activities.

The proposed extension of the project period and waivers of 34 CFR 75.250 and 75.261(c)(2) would not exempt the current TCPCTIP grantees from the appropriation account-closing provisions of 31 U.S.C. 1552(a), nor would they extend the availability of funds previously awarded to current TCPCTIP grantees. As a result of 31 U.S.C. 1552(a), appropriations available for a limited period may be used for payment of valid obligations for only five years after the expiration of their period of availability for Federal obligation. After that time, the unexpended balance of those funds is canceled and returned to the U.S. Treasury Department and is unavailable for restoration for any purpose (31 U.S.C. 1552(b)). Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification

The Secretary certifies that the proposed waivers and extension would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

The small entities that would be affected by these proposed waivers and extension are the two grantees selected based on the May 15, 2007, notice currently receiving Federal funds.

The Secretary certifies that the proposed waivers and extension would not have a significant economic impact on these entities because the proposed waivers and extension impose minimal compliance costs to extend projects already in existence, and the activities required to support the additional year or years of funding would not impose additional regulatory burdens or require unnecessary Federal supervision. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

This notice of proposed waivers and extension does not contain any information collection requirements. Intergovernmental Review

The TCPCTIP is not subject to Executive Order 12372 and the regulations in 34 CFR part 79.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

Title: FERC–550, Oil Pipeline Rates: Tariff Filings.

OMB Control No.: 1902–0089. Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC–550 information collection requirements with no changes to the reporting requirements.

Abstract: The Commission uses the information collected under the requirements of FERC–550 to implement the statutory provisions of Parts 1, 6, and 15 of the Interstate Commerce Act (ICA) (Pub. L. 337, 34 Stat. 584). Jurisdiction over oil pipelines as it relates to the establishment of valuations for pipelines was transferred from the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) to FERC, pursuant to sections 306 and 402 of the Department of Energy Organization Act (DOE Act), 42 U.S.C. 7155 and 7172, and Executive Order No. 12009, 42 FR 46267 (September 17, 1977).

18 CFR Parts 341–348 specifies the filing requirements for proposed oil pipeline rates. The data that oil pipelines file is the basis for Commission analyses of the rates they plan to charge to transport crude oil and petroleum products. The Commission uses its analyses: (1) To determine if the proposed charges result in just and reasonable rates for the oil pipeline’s transportation services and (2) to help the Commission decide whether it should suspend, accept or reject the proposed rates.

Type of Respondents: Oil pipeline companies.

Estimate of Annual Burden 1 : The Commission estimates the total Public Reporting Burden for this information collection as:
