Proposed Agency Information 

Collection 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, U.S. Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy 

(DOE) invites public comment on a 

proposed emergency collection of 

information that DOE is developing for 

submission to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) pursuant to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

DATES: Comments regarding this 

proposed information collection must 

be received on or before February 9, 

2012. If you anticipate difficulty in 

submitting comments within that 

period, contact the person listed in 

ADDRESSES as soon as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be 

sent to Jamie Vernon or by fax at (202) 

586–9260, or by email at 

Jamie.Vernon@ee.doe.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for additional information or 

copies of the information collection 

instrument and instructions should be 

directed to Jamie Vernon, 

Jamie.Vernon@ee.doe.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request contains: 

(1) OMB No.: New; (2) Information 

Collection Request Title: Customer 

Electricity Consumption Data Access 

and Control Questionnaire; (3) Type of 

Request: New; (4) Purpose: The U.S. 

Department of Energy (DOE) will 

generate a ‘‘crowd-sourced map’’ that 

discloses consumer access to personal 

electricity consumption data and the 

ability to share that data with third 

parties for the purpose of developing 

energy savings plans. Generation of 

such a map requires DOE to collect 

information from electricity providers 

about data access and sharing services 

offered to their customers. To meet this 

obligation, the DOE Office of Energy 

Efficiency and Renewable Energy 

(EERE) has developed an online 

questionnaire device that captures and 

publishes the necessary information as 

a series of web-based maps upon 

completion by electricity providers. 

DOE is requesting a 6-month approval to 

collect this information; (5) Annual 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

3,261; (6) Annual Estimated Number of 

Total Responses: 3,261; (7) Annual 

Estimated Number of Burden Hours: 

435; (8) Annual Estimated Reporting 

and Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $0. 

Statutory Authority: Section 13(b) of the 

Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 

(FEA Act), as amended, codified at 15 U.S.C. 

772(b) and Section 1301 of the Energy 

Independence and Security Act of 2007 

(EISA), as amended, codified at 42 U.S.C. 

17381.

Commission 

[Docket No. CP12–38–000] 

Trunkline Gas Company, LLC; Notice 

of Amendment 

Take notice that on December 22, 

2011, Trunkline Gas Company, LLC 

(Trunkline), P.O. Box 4967, Houston, 

Texas 77210–4967, filed an application 

in Docket No. CP12–38–000, to amend 

its Certificate of Public Convenience 

and Necessity issued April 8, 2011 

pursuant to section 7 of the Natural Gas 

Act (NGA), authorizing Trunkline to 

isolate its South Texas System (System), 

make minor modifications to convert 

the System to bi-directional flow, 

provide for liquids-rich gas 

transportation and abandon certain 

facilities. In this amendment, Trunkline 

requests authorization to relocate its 

delivery point to DCP Midstream, LP to 

a point located approximately 13⁄4 mile 

southwest of the existing Edna 

Compressor Station, all as more fully set 

forth in the application which is on file 

with the Commission and open for 

public inspection. 

Any questions regarding the 

applications should be directed to 

Stephen T. Veatch, Sr., Director, 

Certificates and Tariffs, Trunkline Gas 

Company, LLC, 5444 Westheimer Road, 

Houston, Texas 77056; or call at (713) 

989–2024; Stephen.veatch@sug.com. 

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 

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 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 9 / Friday, January 13, 2012 / Notices 2055 

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 

7 copies of filings made with the 

Commission and must mail a copy to 

the applicant and to every other party in 

the proceeding. 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 7 copies of the protest or 

intervention to the Federal Energy 

regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 

NE., Washington, DC 20426. 

This filing is accessible on-line 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 email notification when a 

document is added to a subscribed 

docket(s). For assistance with any FERC 

Online service, please email
