14898 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 60 / Friday, March 28, 1997 / Notices

The applicants state that in exchange

for Southern’s lease of capacity to

permit Destin’s delivery of 200 MMcfd

to Texas Eastern, Destin will pay

Southern $246,500 per year, for a total

of $4,930,000 over the twenty-year term

of the lease. The applicants also request

pregranted abandonment and

reacquisition authorization upon

termination of the Capacity Lease

Agreement, with the reacquisition to be

at no cost to Southern.

Southern proposes in its next Section

4 rate proceeding to roll-in its cost of

service for the proposed facilities and

the revenue from the capacity lease

payments and requests that the

Commission approve such rate

treatment. Destin also requests

authorization for its lease payments

made to Southern to be treated on a

rolled-in basis with its cost of service

proposed in Docket No. CP96–655–001,

et al. Southern states that there will be

no rate impact on Southern’s current

shippers as a result of rolling-in the cost

of service of the proposed facilities

because the estimated revenues

generated from the lease payments

received from Destin will equal the

estimated cost of service of the proposed

facilities on a net present value basis.

Destin estimates that the rate impact of

rolling-in the lease payments to

Southern will be less than 1 percent. In

addition, the applicants state that there

will be financial and operational

benefits to be realized from the lease

arrangements and proposed facilities.

Specifically, the applicants request

authorization for the following actions:

(1) for Southern to construct, install and

operate (a) a new meter station at an

interconnection with Texas Eastern on

Southern’s Cranfield-Gwinville Line in

Franklin County, Mississippi, (b)

modification to Southern’s existing

Gwinville compressor station in

Jefferson County, Mississippi, (c)

modification to Southern’s existing

Kosciusko meter station in Attala

County, Mississippi; (2) for Southern to

abandon by lease, and Destin to acquire,

capacity on Southern’s system to the

extent necessary to permit Destin to

deliver 200 MMcfd of natural gas to

Texas Eastern on a firm basis at the

Union Church meter station or on an

interruptible basis at the Kosciusko

meter station; (3) authorization for

Southern to charge Destin lease

payments in an amount designed to

collect the incremental cost of service of

the proposed facilities over the 20-year

term of the Lease Agreement on a

present value basis; (4) a determination

that the costs attributable to the

proposed facilities and the revenues

attributable to the lease payments

received shall be included in Southern’s

cost of service and revenues on a rolledin basis in any future rate proceedings;

(5) a determination that in any rate

proceeding concerning Southern’s

transportation rates, the revenue

responsibility of the capacity lease

services proposed in this application

shall be limited to that collected by

charging the lease payments authorized

herein and no additional costs shall be

allocated to these services during the

term of the Lease Agreement; (6) a

determination that the lease payments

made by Destin to Southern shall be

included in Destin’s cost of service on

a rolled-in basis in any future rate

proceeding; and (7) pre-granted

abandonment and reacquisition of the

leased capacity upon termination of the

Capacity Lease Agreement between the

parties.

The applicants request an order by

June 1, 1997, which is the date by which

Destin has requested a Preliminary

Determination on Non-environmental

Matters in related Docket No. CP96–

655–001, et al. so that the proposed

pipeline project and the facilities

proposed herein can be placed in

service by July 1, 1998.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before April

14, 1997, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, Washington,

D.C. 20426, a motion to intervene or a

protest in accordance with the

requirements of the Commission’s Rules

of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

385.214 or 18 CFR 385.211) and the

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

(18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with

the Commission will be considered by

it in determining the appropriate action

to be taken but will not serve to make

the protestants parties to the

proceeding. Any person wishing to

become a party to a proceeding or to

participate as a party in any hearing

therein must file a motion to intervene

in accordance with the Commission’s

Rules.

Take further notice that, pursuant to

the authority contained in and subject to

jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission by

Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act

and the Commission’s Rules of Practice

and Procedure, a hearing will be held

without further notice before the

Commission or its designee on this

application if no motion to intervene is

filed within the time required herein, if

the Commission on its own review of

the matter finds that a grant of the

certificate is required by the public

convenience and necessity. If a motion

for leave to intervene is timely filed, or

if the Commission on its own motion

believes that a formal hearing is

required, further notice of such hearing

will be duly given.

Under the procedure herein provided

for, unless otherwise advised, it will be

unnecessary for Southern and Destin to

appear or be represented at the hearing.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.), this notice announces that

EPA is planning to submit the following

proposed Information Collection

Request (ICR) to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB):

Acid Precipitation Sample Collection

Sites in the NADP/NTN Networks for

the EPA funded project entitled:

Conduct Systems and Performance

Surveys of Acid Precipitation Collection

Sites in the NADP/NTN Networks (EPA

ICR Number: 1798.01). Before

submitting the ICR to OMB for review

and approval, EPA is soliciting

comments on specific aspects of the

proposed information collection as

described below.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before May 27, 1997.

ADDRESSES: U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency, Air Exposure

Research Division/Field Operations

Branch, Mail Drop 76, Research Triangle

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Affected entities: Entities potentially

affected by this action are those agencies

or organizations which operate sample

collection sites or sponsor operation of

the sites in the NADP/NTN.

Title: Collection of Quality Assurance

Data on Acid Precipitation Sample

Collection Sites in the National

Atmospheric Deposition Program/

National Trends Network (NADP/NTN)

(EPA ICR No. 1798.01).

Abstract: The following three reports

will be used to gather and report

information on site operations. 1) The

Site Survey Report Form addresses the

following eight areas of site operation:

Site information, siting criteria, sample

handling at the field site, the sample

collector, the rain gauge, sample

processing and documentation,

conductivity and pH measurements, and

recommendations and actions taken. 2)

The Exit Report summarizes the areas

listed for item 1, but in a much more

concise form, and is left with the site

operator. 3) The Systems and

Performance Survey Questionnaire

collects information about the area

surrounding the site and the sample

handling and maintenance procedures

used by the operator. The information

gathered on these forms will be

provided to the NADP/NTN Quality

Assurance Coordinator to document that

network protocols are being followed.

The information will also be used to

produce an annual summary quality

assurance report. Responses to the

collection of information are voluntary.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor,

and a person is not required to respond

to, a collection of information unless it

displays a current valid OMB control

number. The OMB control numbers for

EPA’s regulations are listed in 40 CFR

Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.

The EPA would like to solicit

comments to:

(i) Evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the

functions of the agency, including

whether the information will have

practical utility;

(ii) Evaluate the agency’s estimate of

the burden of the proposed collection of

information, including the validity of

the methodology and assumptions used;

(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and

(iv) Minimize the burden of the

collection of information on those who

are to respond.

Burden Statement: The effort is

estimated to cost $200,000 per year to

cover labor costs (initiate survey, gather

information, and equipment QA),

capital/startup costs (purchase

monitoring equipment and training),

and operating and maintenance costs

(reports, maintain records, equipment

up-keep, and travel expenses). An

average annual reporting burden of 2000

hours will be required. Approximately

100 responses per year are anticipated

with an average burden of 20 hours per

response. Burden means the total time,

effort, or financial resources expended

by persons to generate, maintain, retain,

or disclose or provide information to or

for a Federal agency. This includes the

time needed to review instructions;

develop, acquire, install, and utilize

technology and systems for the purposes

of collecting, validating, and verifying

information, processing and

maintaining information, and disclosing

and providing information; adjust the

existing ways to comply with any

previously applicable instructions and

requirements; train personnel to be able

to respond to a collection of

information; search data sources;

complete and review the collection of

information; and transmit or otherwise

disclose the information.
