63034 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 236 / Friday, December 8, 1995 / Notices

November 13, 1995 in Docket No. CP96–

60–000, all as more fully set forth in the

application which is on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection.

Transwestern states that on

September 22, 1995, Transwestern and

Northwest executed a Letter of Intent

(LOI) providing for the purchase by

Transwestern and the sale by Northwest

of a 77.7 percent ownership interest in

Northwest’s south-end mainline

extension facilities extending from the

Ignacio Compressor Station near

Ignacio, Colorado to the Blanco Hub

near Bloomfield, New Mexico (the La

Plata Facilities). It is stated that the LOI

provides that the exact level of interest

and capacity was subject to change in

order to permit Northwest to serve

changes in receipt and delivery points

which were made by Northwest’s

customers as of October 20, 1995.

Transwestern states that in its

application, Northwest would retain

24,000 Dth/d of south flow delivery

capacity, but Transwestern did not

specify a specific amount of north flow

delivery capacity which would be

retained by Northwest. It is stated that

in the Sales Agreement, Northwest and

Transwestern agreed that Northwest

would retain 23,811 Dth/d of south flow

delivery capacity and 212,788 Dth/d of

north flow delivery capacity, subject to

adjustment to reflect in-kind fuel

reimbursement. Under the terms of the

Sales Agreement, Transwestern will

acquire all capacity on the facilities not

specifically retained by Northwest,

which will include approximately

276,300 Dth/d of north to south capacity

through the La Plata A compressor.

Inasmuch as Transwestern’s application

listed such figure as 276,000 Dth/d,

Transwestern amends that figure to

reflect that it will hold 276,300 Dth/d of

north to south capacity through the La

Plata A compressor.

In the text of its application,

Transwestern stated that it would take

assignment of seven firm transportation

contracts subscribing a total of 201,000

Dth/d of capacity. However, since the

actual capacity subscribed under the

seven firm contracts to be assigned is

201,900 Dth/d, Transwestern proposes

to amend the application to reflect the

actual figure.

Transwestern states that its

application reflected a total estimated

purchase price of $21 million, which

included Transwestern’s payment of a

portion of the cost of certain necessary

modifications to be constructed prior to

closing. The application stated that the

total cost of such modifications was $4.9

million. It is stated that in the Sales

Agreement, the list of modifications was

amended, which resulted in a reduction

in the total cost to construct such

facilities from $4.9 million to $3.9

million. In addition, it is stated that the

Sales Agreement contains minor

revisions to the property description

and net book value contemplated by the

LOI, which in turn also affected the

purchase price.

In addition, under the Sales

Agreement, Transwestern is also

required to reimburse Northwest for

77.7 percent of the reasonable cost

incurred by Northwest prior to closing

to overhaul the La Plata A compressor

station, with Transwestern’s cost not to

exceed $300,000. Transwestern states

that such cost is to be added to the

purchase price to be paid by

Transwestern at closing for the La Plata

Facilities.

Transwestern contends that the Sales

Agreement further obligates

Transwestern to pay 100 percent of the

cost for Northwest to install, prior to

closing, a regulator at the

interconnection of the La Plata Facilities

at El Paso-Blanco. It is stated that the

regulator will become a part of the La

Plata facilities to be acquired by

Transwestern at closing, but is not

included as part of the necessary

modification. Transwestern states that

the total cost for such regulator is

estimated to be $346,000.

Transwestern also seeks to have the

application amended to reflect the

revised estimated purchase cost of $20.6

million. In addition, Transwestern states

that the depreciation expense and other

taxes have been reduced to reflect the

lower purchase price for the La Plata

Facilities.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

amendment should on or before

December 26, 1995, file with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission,

Washington, DC 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 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

with 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 Transwestern to appear

or be represented at the hearing.

Lois D. Cashell,

Secretary.

[FRL–5343–4]

Agency Information Collection

Activities Under OMB Review;

Approval of State Coastal Nonpoint

Pollution Control Programs Under

CZARA Section 6217

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

the extension for the currently approved

Information Collection Request (ICR) for

the Approval of State Coastal Nonpoint

Pollution Control Programs under

CZARA Section 6217 described below

has been forwarded to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

review and comment. The ICR extension

describes the nature of the information

collection and its expected burden and

cost.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before January 8, 1996, to Sandy

Farmer, Mail Code 2136, Regulatory

Management Division, U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency, 401

M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR A COPY

CALL: Sandy Farmer at EPA, (202) 260–

2740, and refer to EPA ICR No. 1569.03.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title:

Approval of State Coastal Nonpoint

Pollution Control Programs under

CZARA Section 6217 (OMB Control No.

2040–0153; EPA ICR No. 1569.03). This
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 236 / Friday, December 8, 1995 / Notices 63035

is a request for extension of a currently

approved collection.

Abstract: The Program Development

and Approval Guidance implements

Section 6217 of the 1990 Coastal Zone

Management Act Reauthorization

Amendments. The guidance requires 24

coastal States and 5 coastal Territories

with approved Coastal Zone

Management Programs to submit Coastal

Nonpoint Programs to EPA and NOAA

for joint review in July 1995. This onetime submittal will be used to determine

if States and Territories receiving Clean

Water Act Section 319 and Coastal Zone

Management Act Section 306 Federal

grants will face reductions.

The original Information Collection

Request estimated that the reporting

burden to develop coastal nonpoint

programs under the Program

Development and Approval Guidance

would average 1,874 hours per response

(29 respondents), including the time for

reviewing instruction, searching

existing data sources, completing and

reviewing the information, and

preparing the final report. Based on

initial reviews of many of the Coastal

Nonpoint Programs that have been

submitted for review, EPA and NOAA

anticipate that many programs are likely

to receive conditional approvals. These

conditional approvals may require

States and Territories to submit

additional information at a later date

prior to receiving final program

approval. The extension for the

currently approved ICR will allow

States to complete development of their

programs and submit their programs to

EPA and NOAA for final program

approval by fulfilling any conditions

that the Federal agencies place on final

program approval.

An agency may not conduct or

sponsor, and a person is not required to

respond to, a collection of information

unless it displays a currently 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 Federal Register notice required

under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting

comments on this collection of

information was published on 9/27/95

(60 FR 49833).

Burden Statement: Because the

coastal States and Territories have

completed a substantial majority of their

program development at this time, EPA

estimates that the remaining reporting

burden will be approximately 20

percent of the original burden estimate,

or an average of approximately 375

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.

Respondents/Affected Entities:

Coastal States and Territories.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

29.

Frequency of Response: Once for each

affected program element.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

3,625 hours.

Send comments on the Agency’s need

for this information, the accuracy of the

provided burden estimates, and any

suggested methods for minimizing

respondent burden, including through

the use of automated collection

techniques to the following addresses.

Please refer to EPA ICR No. 1569.03 and

OMB Control No. 2040–0153 in any

correspondence.
