The reporting burden includes the 

total time, effort, or financial resources 

expended to generate, maintain, retain, 

disclose, or provide the information 

including: (1) Reviewing instructions; 

(2) developing, acquiring, installing, and 

utilizing technology and systems for the 

purposes of collecting, validating, 

verifying, processing, maintaining, 

disclosing and providing information; 

(3) adjusting the existing ways to 

comply with any previously applicable 

instructions and requirements; (4) 

training personnel to respond to a 

collection of information; (5) searching 

data sources; (6) completing and 

reviewing the collection of information; 

and (7) transmitting, or otherwise 

disclosing the information. 

The estimate of cost for respondents 

is based upon salaries for professional 

and clerical support, as well as direct 

and indirect overhead costs. Direct costs 

include all costs directly attributable to 

providing this information, such as 

administrative costs and the cost for 

information technology. Indirect or 

overhead costs are costs incurred by an 

organization in support of its mission. 

These costs apply to activities which 

benefit the whole organization rather 

than any one particular function or 

activity. 

Comments are invited on: (1) Whether 

the proposed collections of information 

are 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 

estimates of the burden of the proposed 

collections of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collections of information on those who 

are to respond, including the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses.

Commission 

[Project No. 13377–000] 

Sonoma County Water Agency; Notice 

of Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

April 3, 2009. 

On February 23, 2009, Sonoma 

County Water Agency filed an 

application for a preliminary permit, 

pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal 

Power Act, proposing to study the 

feasibility of the Sonoma Coast 

Hydrokinetic Energy Project Fort Ross 

(South) to be located on the Pacific 

Ocean off the coast of Sonoma County, 

California. The project uses no dam or 

impoundment. The sole purpose of a 

preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant 

the permit holder priority to file a 

license application during the permit 

term. A preliminary permit does not 

authorize the permit holder to perform 

any land disturbing activities or 

otherwise enter upon lands or waters 

owned by others without the owners’ 

express permission. 

The proposed project would consist 

of: (1) Approximately 5 to 10 oscillating 

water column devices and/or buoy-type 

wave energy conversion devices with an 

estimated total power output of 2 to 5 

megawatts (MW); (2) a potential 

expansion of the proposed project or 

additional projects up to 40 to 200 MW; 

(3) one or more proposed submersible 

armored submarine cables, including a 

12-kilovolt transmission line 

approximately 5 miles in length; (4) a 

potential sub-station and 1-mile-long 

transmission line, if the proposed 

project is expanded; and (5) appurtenant 

facilities. The project is estimated to 

have an annual generation of 20 

gigawatt-hours, which would be sold to 

a local utility or used by the Sonoma 

County Water Agency to offset its own 

load.

Commission 

[Docket No. CP09–83–000] 

Dominion Transmission, Inc.; Notice of 

Application 

April 3, 2009. 

Take notice that on March 20, 2009, 

Dominion Transmission, Inc. (DTI), 120 

Tredegar Street, Richmond, VA 23219, 

filed an application in Docket No. 

CP09–83–000, pursuant to section 7(c) 

of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and part 

157 of the Commission’s regulations, for 

a certificate of public convenience and 

necessity to replace an existing 5,800 

horsepower (hp) compressor unit at its 

Borger Compressor Station in Tompkins 

County, New York with a 10,310 hp unit 

for the dual purposes of reducing 

emissions at the Borger Compressor 

Station, pursuant to an agreement with 

the New York State Department of 

Environmental Conservation, and 

providing incremental transportation 

service of up to 20,000 dekatherms per 

day (Dominion Hub II Project). The 

project is estimated to cost 

approximately $22.5 million. DTI 

proposes to roll-in $17.7 million of the 

total costs to reflect the costs to replace 

the existing compressor. DTI proposes 

to recover the remaining $4.8 million 

through incremental rates charged for 

the incremental firm transportation 

service. 

Any questions regarding this 

application should be directed to Brad 

A. Knisley, Regulatory and Certificates

Inc., 701 East Cary Street, Richmond,

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 

14 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
