SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FERC–567, Gas Pipeline 

Certificates: Annual Reports of System 

Flow Diagrams and System Capacity. 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0005. 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–567 information collection 

requirements with no changes to the 

current reporting requirements. 

Abstract: The Commission uses the 

information from the FERC–567 to 

obtain accurate data on pipeline 

facilities and the peak capacity of these 

facilities. Additionally, the Commission 

validates the need for new facilities 

proposed by pipelines in certificate 

applications. By modeling an 

applicant’s pipeline system, 

Commission staff utilizes the FERC–567 

data to determine configuration and 

location of installed pipeline facilities; 

verify and determine the receipt and 

delivery points between shippers, 

producers and pipeline companies; 

determine the location of receipt and 

delivery points and emergency 

interconnections on a pipeline system; 

determine the location of pipeline 

segments, laterals and compressor 

stations on a pipeline system; verify 

pipeline segment lengths and pipeline 

diameters; justify the maximum 

allowable operating pressures and 

suction and discharge pressures at 

compressor stations; verify the installed 

horsepower and volumes compressed at 

each compressor station; determine the 

existing shippers and producers 

currently using each pipeline company; 

verify peak capacity on the system; and 

develop and evaluate alternatives to the 

proposed facilities as a means to 

mitigate environmental impact of new 

pipeline construction. 

18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 

260.8(a) requires each major natural gas 

pipeline with a system delivery capacity 

exceeding 100,000 Mcf per day to 

submit by June 1 of each year, diagrams 

reflecting operating conditions on the 

pipeline’s main transmission system 

during the previous 12 months ended 

December 31. 18 CFR 284.13 requires 

each interstate pipeline that provides 

transportation subject to the provisions 

of Subparts B and G of Part 284 to make 

an annual filing by March 1 of each year 

showing the estimated peak day 

capacity of the pipeline’s system. These 

physical/engineering data are not 

included as part of any other data 

collection requirement. 

Type of Respondents: Natural gas 

pipelines. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The 

Commission estimates the total Public 

Reporting Burden for this information 

collection as: 

Number of 

respondents 

Number of 

responses per

burden 

(A) (B) (A) × (B) = (C) (D) (C) × (D) 

Natural Gas Pipelines ...................................... 103 1 103 1 103 

The total estimated annual cost 

burden to respondents is $ [103 hours 

÷ 2,080 2 hours/year = 0.04952 * 

$143,540/year 3 = $7,108]. 

The estimated annual cost of filing the 

FERC–567 per response is $69 [$7,108 ÷ 

103 responses = $69/response]. 

Comments: Comments are invited on: 

(1) Whether the 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 and cost of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility 

and clarity of the information collection; 

and (4) ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.

its 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 

seven 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 seven copies of the protest or 

intervention to the Federal Energy 

regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 

NE., Washington, DC 20426.
