1FERC–567 was formerly known as ‘‘Gas Pipeline 

Certificates: Annual Reports of System Flow 

Diagrams and System Capacity’’. The capacity 

reporting requirements under 18 CFR 284.13 had 

been inadvertently included under both the FERC– 

567 and the FERC–549B (‘‘Gas Pipeline Rates: 

Capacity Information’’; OMB Control No. 1902– 

0169). To correct the inadvertent ‘double-counting’, 

the capacity reporting requirements under 18 CFR 

284.13 are removed from FERC–567, and remain a 

part of FERC–549B for the purpose of OMB 

clearance. FERC–549B is not a subject of this 

Notice. 

2The burden and cost figures may not be exact, 

due to rounding. For these calculations, the number 

of hours an employee works each year is 2,080, and 

the average annual salary per employee is estimated 

to be $128,297. 

3An estimate of 100 respondents was included in 

the 60-day notice. That estimate has been updated 

here, based on the number of filings submitted in 

2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FERC 

is requesting comments on the FERC– 

567,1 Gas Pipeline Certificates: Annual 

Reports of System Flow Diagrams. 

FERC–567 is an existing data collection 

(OMB Control No. 1902–0005) 

consisting of a set of filing requirements, 

as contained in 18 CFR 260.8. 

The information from the FERC–567 

is used by the Commission staff to 

obtain accurate data on pipeline 

facilities and to validate the need for 

new facilities proposed by pipelines in 

certificate applications. In modeling a 

pipeline applicant’s system, 

Commission staff utilizes the FERC–567 

data to determine configuration and 

location of installed pipeline facilities; 

verify and determine the receipt and 

delivery points between shippers, 

producers and pipeline companies; 

determine the location of receipt and 

delivery points and emergency 

interconnections on a pipeline system; 

determine the location of pipeline 

segments, laterals and compressor 

stations on a pipeline system; verify 

pipeline segment lengths and pipeline 

diameters; justify the maximum 

allowable operating pressures and 

suction and discharge pressures at 

compressor stations; verify the installed 

horsepower and volumes compressed at 

each compressor station; determine the 

existing shippers and producers 

currently using each pipeline company; 

and develop and evaluate alternatives to 

the proposed facilities as a means to 

mitigate environmental impact of new 

pipeline construction. 

18 CFR 260.8 requires each major 

natural gas pipeline with a system 

delivery capacity exceeding 100,000 

Mcf per day to file, to submit by June 

1 of each year, diagrams reflecting 

operating conditions on the pipeline’s 

main transmission system during the 

previous 12 months ended December 

31. These data are physical/engineering 

data which are not included as part of 

any other data collection requirement. 

Action: The Commission is requesting 

a three-year extension of the current 

expiration date, with no change to the 

existing requirements.1

Burden Statement: Annual reporting 

burden for this collection is estimated 

as:

FERC–567 ............................................................................... 94 3 1.714 81.28 13,095.5 

The estimated annual cost burden 2 to 

respondents is $807,747 (13,095.5 

hours/2080 hours per year times 

$128,297 per year average per employee 

= $807,747). The estimated cost per 

respondent is $8,593. 

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 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 estimates of the burden of 

the proposed collection 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 collection 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

II. Current Actions 

III. Request for Comments 

I. Background 

The Federal Energy Administration 

Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–275, 15 U.S.C. 

761 et seq.) and the DOE Organization 

Act (Pub. L. 95–91, 42 U.S.C. 7101 et 

seq.) require the EIA to carry out a 

centralized, comprehensive, and unified 

energy information program. This 

program collects, evaluates, assembles, 

analyzes, and disseminates information 

on energy resource reserves, production, 

demand, technology, and related 

economic and statistical information. 

This information is used to assess the 

adequacy of energy resources to meet 

near and longer term domestic 

demands. 

The EIA, as part of its effort to comply 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et 

seq.), provides the general public and 

other Federal agencies with 

opportunities to comment on collections 

of energy information conducted by or 

in conjunction with the EIA. Any 

comments received help the EIA to 

prepare data requests that maximize the 

utility of the information collected, and 

to assess the impact of collection 

requirements on the public. Also, the 

EIA will later seek approval by the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) under Section 3507(a) of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

The EIA collects information about 

the uranium fuel cycle for use by 

government and private sector analysts. 

The survey information is disseminated 

in a variety of electronic products and 

files. For details on the EIA uranium 

program, please visit the nuclear page of 

the EIA Internet site at http:// 

www.eia.doe.gov/fuelnuclear.html. 

II. Current Actions 

The EIA proposes the following 

changes: 

For the EIA–851Q, EIA proposes no 

changes to the data items. 

For the EIA–851A the principal 

change is the addition of Item 8, 

Reserves Estimate. This new item 

collects data on the amount of uranium 

reserves on U.S properties. This item 

will also collect location data on the 

properties that hold uranium along with 

data that collects how the resource data 

was determined. Among the properties 

for which this data will be collected are 

active and inactive mines and properties 

that can be developed for uranium 

production. This change is not expected 

to change the number of respondents 

that currently complete the form. 

This additional data should provide a 

better understanding of the amount of 

uranium reserves at properties that are 

being actively worked and those that 

can be developed for uranium 

production. The reserves will be 

grouped according to their forward cost 

classification, which will provide 

insight on the domestic reserves that 

can be accessed under different uranium 

price conditions. 

For the EIA–858, the principal change 

affects Item 2, Total Uranium 

Inventories. This item is being separated 

into two parts, A and B. In Item 2, Part 

A, a new data element, location, is being 

added to the Domestic-Origin and 

Foreign-Origin fields to allow for a 

better understanding of the physical 

location of the inventory component. 

Item 2, Part B, Import/Export Balance is 

being added to determine the amount of 

an inventory component that has been 

imported and the amount that has been 

exported so that a net domestic mass 

balance can be determined. The benefit 

of this change is to better understand 

the material flow, including the size and 

location of the materials along the 

uranium processing chain. This data 

should enable industry observers to 

more accurately assess the quantity of 

uranium transfers into, out of, and 

within the U.S. 

III. Request for Comments 

Prospective respondents and other 

interested parties should comment on 

the proposals discussed in Item II. The 

following guidelines are provided to 

assist in the preparation of comments. 

Please indicate the form(s) to which 

your comments apply. 

As a Potential Respondent to the 

Request for Information 

A. Is the proposed collection of 

information necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency and does the information have 

practical utility? 

B. What actions could be taken to 

help ensure and maximize the quality, 

objectivity, utility, and integrity of the 

information to be collected? 

C. Are the instructions and definitions 

clear and sufficient? If not, which 

instructions need clarification? 

D. Can the information be submitted 

by the due dates? 

E. Public reporting burden per 

response are estimated as follows: EIA– 

851—5 hours; EIA–851Q—0.75 hours; 

and EIA–858—18 hours. 

F. The agency estimates that the only 

cost to a respondent is the time to 

complete the collection. Will a 

respondent incur any start-up costs for 

reporting, or any recurring annual costs 

for operation, maintenance, and 

purchase of services associated with the 

information collection? 

G. What additional actions could be 

taken to minimize the burden of this 

collection of information? Such actions 

may involve the use of automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

H. Does any other Federal, State, or 

local agency collect similar information? 

If so, specify the agency, the data 

element(s), and the methods of 

collection. 

As a Potential User of the Information 

To Be Collected 

A. Is the proposed collection of 

information necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency and does the information have 

practical utility? 

B. What actions could be taken to 

help ensure and maximize the quality, 

objectivity, utility, and integrity of the 

information disseminated? 

C. Is the information useful at the 

levels of detail to be collected? 

D. For what purpose(s) would the 

information be used? Be specific. 

E. Are there alternate sources for the 

information and are they useful? If so, 

what are their weaknesses and/or 

strengths? 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval of the form. They also will 

become a matter of public record.
