DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP13–533–000] 

Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC; 

Prior Notice of Activity Under Blanket 

Certificate 

On August 14, 2013, Columbia Gas 

Transmission, LLC (Columbia) filed 

with the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission (Commission) an 

application under section 7 of the 

Natural Gas Act and Sections 157.205 

and 157.210 of the Commission’s 

regulations and Columbia’s 

authorization in Docket No. CP83–76– 

000, 22 FERC ¶62,029 (1983), to convert 

some existing compressor units from 

base load to standby operational mode 

at three compressor stations. As 

explained in the application, the 

affected stations are located in Braxton 

County, Hardy Elk County, and 

Pendleton County, West Virginia. 

Questions regarding this application 

may be directed to Fredric J. George, 

Senior Counsel, Columbia Gas 

Transmission, LLC, P.O. Box 1273, 

Charleston, West Virginia 25325–1273, 

by calling 304–357–2359 or fax 304– 

357–3206. 

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 (NSER). 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 NSER 

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. 

Any person or the Commission’s staff 

may, within 60 days after issuance of 

the instant notice by the Commission, 

file pursuant to Rule 214 of the 

Commission’s Procedural Rules (18 CFR 

385.214) a motion to intervene or notice 

of intervention and pursuant to Section 

157.205 of the regulations under the 

NGA (18 CFR 157.205), a protest to the 

request. If no protest is filed within the 

time allowed therefore, the proposed 

activity shall be deemed to be 

authorized effective the day after the 

time allowed for filing a protest. If a 

protest is filed and not withdrawn 

within 30 days after the allowed time 

for filing a protest, the instant request 

shall be treated as an application for 

authorization pursuant to Section 7 of 

the NGA. 

Protests will be considered by the 

Commission in determining the 

appropriate action to be taken, but will 

not serve to make protestants parties to 

the proceeding. Any person wishing to 

become a party must file a notice of 

intervention or motion to intervene, as 

appropriate. Such motions or protests 

must be filed on or before the comment 

date. Anyone filing a motion to 

intervene or protest must serve a copy 

of that document on the Applicant, on 

or before the comment date. It is not 

necessary to serve motions to intervene 

or protests on persons other than the 

Applicant. 

The Commission encourages 

electronic submission of comments, 

protests and interventions in lieu of 

paper using the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http:// 

www.fere.gov. Persons unable to file 

electronically should submit an original 

and five 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

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. IC13–15–000] 

Commission Information Collection 

Activities (Ferc-582); Comment 

Request 

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, DOE. 

ACTION: Comment request. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 

3507(a)(1)(D), the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission or 

FERC) is submitting the information 

collection FERC–582 (Electric Fees, 

Annual Charges, Waivers, and 

Exemptions) to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review of the information collection 

requirements. Any interested person 

may file comments directly with OMB 

and should address a copy of those 

comments to the Commission as 

explained below. The Commission 

issued a Notice in the Federal Register 

(78 FR 47310, 8/5/2013) requesting 

public comments. FERC received no 

comments on the FERC–582 and is 

making this notation in its submittal to 

OMB. 

Note: Commission staff is issuing this 

notice to highlight a change in the estimated 

total annual burden from what was shown in 

two recent notices. In each prior notice,1

FERC estimated the total annual burden at 

114 hours. FERC has revised the estimation 

of the total annual burden to 300 hours, 

which better reflects past burden estimates 

for this collection. More specifically, portions 

of the total annual burden were increased 

from 1 hour per response to 3 hours per 

response (Annual Charges) and 2 hours per 

response (Declaratory Order), consistent with 

estimates for this collection since the last 

time it was approved by OMB. The total 

number of respondents remained static. 

Further detail regarding the total annual 

burden is provided below in the ‘‘Estimate of 

Annual Burden’’ section of this notice. 

DATES: Comments on the collection of 

information are due by September 20, 

2013. 

ADDRESSES: Comments filed with OMB, 

identified by the OMB Control No. 

1902–0132, should be sent via email to 

the Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs: oira_submission@omb.gov. 

Attention: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission Desk Officer. The Desk 

Officer may also be reached via 

telephone at 202–395–4718.
