6. Columbia Gas Transmission Corp.

[Docket No. CP95–277–000]

Take notice that on March 22, 1994,

Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation

(Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue,

S.E., Charleston, West Virginia 25314–

1599, filed in Docket No. CP95–277–

000, a request pursuant to Sections

157.205 and 157.211 of the

Commission’s Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and

157.211) for authorization to construct

and operate eight new delivery points in

West Virginia for its firm transportation

customer, Mountaineer Gas Company

(MGC), under the blanket certificate

issued in Docket No. CP83–76–000,

pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural

Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the

request which is on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection.

Columbia proposes to construct and

operate the new delivery points in

Jackson County, Clay County, Kanawha

County, Wayne County, and Lincoln

County, West Virginia. Columbia states

the facilities will be located on

Columbia’s existing right-of-way which

will interconnect with meters MGC will

install on the right-of-way to provide

service to eight residential customers.

Columbia states the firm transportation

will be in accordance with Part 284 of

the Commission’s regulations and

Columbia’s Rate Schedules FTS and

SST.

Columbia estimates the design day

quantity will be 12.0 Dth, and the

annual quantity will be 1,200 Dth.

Columbia states that the quantities to be

provided through the new delivery

points will be within Columbia

authorized level of service, and

therefore, there will be no impact on

Columbia’s existing design day and

annual obligations to its customers as a

result of this request. Columbia

estimates that the cost to install the new

taps will be approximately $150 per tap

which will be treated as an O&M

Expense.

Columbia says it will comply with all

of the environmental requirements of

Section 157.206(d) of the Commission’s

regulations prior to the construction of

any facilities. Any person or the

Commission’s staff may, within 45 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 Natural Gas Act

(18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the

request. If no protest is filed within the

time allowed therefor, 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 time allowed

for filing a protest, the instant request

shall be treated as an application for

authorization pursuant to Section 7 of

the Natural Gas Act.

Comment date: May 8, 1995, in

accordance with Standard Paragraph G

at the end of this notice.

Standard Paragraphs

F. Any person desiring to be heard or

to make any protest with reference to

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

the 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 and/or permission and

approval for the proposed abandonment

are 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 applicant to appear or

be represented at the hearing.

Agency Information Collection

Activities Under OMB Review

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 Information Collection Request (ICR)

abstracted below has been forwarded to

the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) for review and comment. The

ICR describes the nature of the

information collection and its expected

cost and burden.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before May 3, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

further information or a copy call Sandy

Farmer at EPA, (202) 260–2740, please

refer to EPA ICR # 1729.01.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Office of Prevention, Pesticides and

Toxic Substances

Title: Disposal of Polychlorinated

Biphenyls; Proposed Amendments;

Related Reporting & Recordkeeping

Requirements. (ICR No: 1729.01). This is

a request for the approval of burden

hours for requirements under section

6(e) of the Toxic Substances Control Act

(TSCA). This is a new collection.

Abstract: EPA is charged under

section 6(e) of the Toxic Substances

Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2605(e),

to regulate the making, disposal,

manufacturing, processing, distribution

in commerce, and use of PCBs. Since

1978, EPA has promulgated numerous

rules addressing all aspects of the life

cycle of PCBs as required by the statute.

Under the current rulemaking, EPA

proposes to amend the PCB regulations

to: (1) Provide flexibility in disposal

technologies and decontamination

procedures; (2) ease the procedures for

obtaining EPA approvals; (3) clarify

existing regulations; (4) modify the

requirements for the use/maintenance,

distribution in commerce, and disposal

of PCB equipment; and (5) address

issues of notification and manifesting of

PCB wastes and changes in the

operation of commercial storage

facilities.

Information required by this

amendment includes both reporting and

recordkeeping. Reporting includes

notifications: to obtain an identification

number, to register PCB transformers, to

engage in research and development

activities, to seek approval of PCB

disposal activities, or to exceed the

current 1-year storage limitation.

Recordkeeping activities include

monitoring and recording the transfer,

storage and disposal of PCBs/PCB

equipment; the processing and

distribution in commerce of PCBs; and

the decontamination of PCB items.

EPA uses this information to ensure

PCBs are managed in an

environmentally safe manner and that

activities are being conducted in

compliance with the PCB regulations.

Burden Statement: The public burden

for this collection of information is

estimated to average 82 hours per

respondent to provide data on the

manufacture, processing, distribution in

commerce, use and disposal of PCBs.

Less than 2 percent of the total burden

is recordkeeping. These reporting and

recordkeeping requirements are needed

by EPA to monitor and control the life

cycle of PCBs.

Respondents: Owners or operators of

public warehousing and storage; electric

services; sanitary services (incinerators,

landfills); steam supply (high-efficiency

boilers); administration of

environmental quality programs.

Estimated No. of Respondents:

100,000.

Estimated No. of Responses per

Respondent: 1.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on

Respondents: 8,200,000 hours.

Frequency of Collection: On occasion.

Send comments regarding the burden

estimate, or any other aspect of the

information collection, including

suggestions for reducing the burden,

(please refer to EPA ICR # 1729.01) to:
