The Commission derived the figures 

above using NERC’s Business Plan and 

Budget Submissions,NERC’s 

Compliance, Enforcement and 

Monitoring Plans, NERC’s Performance 

Assessments, other information on 

NERC’s Web site (http:// 

www.nerc.com/), and internal FERC 

staff estimates. See the appendix for 

more details regarding the burden 

estimates.8

The total estimated annual cost 

burden to respondents is $115,655,020 

($15,128,199 + $46,121,011 + 

$54,405,810). 

ERO Cost: 168,503 hours @ $89.78/hr 

= $15,128,199. 

Regional Entity Cost: 593,120 hours @ 

$77.76/hr = $46,121,011. 

Registered Entity Cost: 788,490 hours 

@ $69/hr = $54,405,810 . 

The hourly cost figures are loaded (i.e. 

includes salary and other personnel 

costs). The Commission used NERC’s 

2012 Business Plan and internal FERC 

salary estimates for these cost figures. 

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.

Any questions concerning this 

application may be directed to William 

A. Lang, President, East Cheyenne Gas 

Storage, LLC, 10370 Richmond Avenue, 

Suite 510, Houston, Texas 77042, by 

Telephone: (713) 403–6460 or 

Facsimile: (713) 403–6461. 

East Cheyenne requests that the 

Commission grant the requested 

authorizations and related approvals 

prior to July 9, 2012. By issuing an order 

by this date, the Commission will 

facilitate East Cheyenne’s efficient and 

timely development of storage capacity 

at its East Cheyenne Gas Storage Project. 

East Cheyenne states that it does not 

propose any change in the working gas 

capacity, injection rates or withdrawal 

rates authorized by the Commission in 

the original certificate order, as 

amended, in this Application. 

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 

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 14 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

CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission 

Company, LLC; Notice of Application 

Take notice that on April 4, 2012, 

CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission 

Company, LLC (CEGT), 1111 Louisiana 

Street, Houston, Texas 77002–5231, 

filed in Docket No. CP12–111–000 an 

application pursuant to section 7 of the 

Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended, to 

abandon and remove the Tate Island 

compressor station in Johnson County, 

Arkansas, all as more fully set forth in 

the application which is on file with the 

Commission and open to public 

inspection. This filing may be also

CEGT proposes to abandon the Tate 

Island compressor station, which is 

located on CEGT’s Line B in Johnson 

County. CEGT would remove two rented 

400 horsepower (HP) Caterpillar G3412 

reciprocating compressor units and 

associated auxiliary facilities. CEGT 

states that natural gas currently flows 

through Line B and is compressed at the 

Tate Island compressor station before 

flowing via Line B for further 

compression at CEGT’s Piney 

compressor station in Pope County, 

Arkansas, for delivery into CEGT’s Line 

J. CEGT also states that it has 

determined that it would be more cost 

effective to abandon the Tate Island 

compressor station and use the Piney 

compressor station for the necessary 

compression. CEGT further states that 

this rearrangement of compression 

facilities would create savings on 

monthly rental costs and not degrade 

service on CEGT’s system. CEGT
