Natural Gas Certificate Filings

June 5, 1996.

Take notice that the following filings

have been made with the Commission:

1. Williams Natural Gas Company

[Docket No. CP96–547–000]

Take notice that on May 29, 1996,

Williams Natural Gas Company (WNG),

P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101,

filed in Docket No. CP96–547–000 a

request pursuant to Sections 157.205,

157.212 and 157.216 of the

Commission’s Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205,

157.212 and 157.216) for authorization

to utilize facilities originally installed

for the delivery of NGPA Section 311

transportation gas to Missouri Gas

Energy (MGE) for purposes other than

NGPA Section 311 transportation, to

abandon by reclaim the original

Higginsville town border station, and to

abandon by sale to MGE approximately

1.4 miles of 6-inch lateral pipeline, all

located in Lafayette County, Missouri,

under WNG’s blanket certificate issued

in Docket No. CP82–479–000 pursuant

to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all

as more fully set forth in the request that

is on file with the Commission and open

to public inspection.

WNG proposes to utilize existing

NGPA Section 311 transportation

facilities for other deliveries of gas to

MGE to serve both the town of

Higginsville and a 50 megawatt turbine

at a new power plant. WNG states that

the facilities consist of a 6-inch tap, a 4-

run, multi-size orifice meter tube

setting, regulation, and appurtenances.

WNG states that the facilities were

installed in April, 1996 to replace the

town border facilities originally

installed in 1937. WNG states that the

new tap is located off of WNG’s 10-inch

Line XTB at the site of WNG’s existing

Higginsville gate. WNG states that the

installation of the new tap at the site of

the Higginsville gate allows WNG to sell

to MGE approximately 1.4 miles of 6-

inch pipeline XTB–2 located

downstream of the existing Higginsville

setting.

WNG states that the combined peak

day summer deliveries for the power

plant and the town border are expected

to be approximately 14,921 Dth with the

power plant operating from June

through September. WNG states that the

peak day winter deliveries to the town

have historically been approximately

3,413 Dth. WNG states that the

operation of the new town border

facilities will have no impact on WNG’s

peak day or annual deliveries, and that

WNG has sufficient capacity to

accomplish the delivery specified

without detriment or disadvantage to its

other customers.

Comment date: July 22, 1996, in

Information Collection Activities:

Comment Request

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): Clean

Air Act Title V—Operating Permits

Regulations, EPA ICR Number 1587.05,

OMB Control Number 2060–0234,

expiring September 30, 1996. Before

submitting the ICR to OMB for review

and approval, EPA is soliciting

comments on changes to the previously

proposed information collection

(August 31, 1995, 60 FR 45563) as

described below.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before August 12, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments on the changes

to the proposed ICR must be mailed to:

Roger Powell at the address indicated

below. Copies of the previously

proposed ICR may be obtained from:

EPA Air Docket (LE–131), Room M–

1500, Waterside Mall, 401 M Street SW.,

Washington, DC 20460 (telephone 202–

260–7548). Ask for item number III–B–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

Affected entities: Entities potentially

affected by this action are those which

must apply for and obtain an operating

permit under title V of the Clean Air Act

(Act).

Title: Clean Air Act Title V—

Operating Permits Regulations, OMB

Control Number 2060–0234, expiring

September 30, 1996.

Abstract: In implementing title V of

the Act and EPA’s part 70 operating

permits regulations, State and local

agencies must develop programs and

submit them to EPA for approval

(section 502(d)), and sources subject to

the program must develop operating

permit applications and submit them to

the permitting authority within 1 year

after program approval (section 503).

Permitting authorities will then issue

permits (section 503(c)) and thereafter

enforce, revise, and renew those permits

at 5-year intervals (section 502(d)).

Permit applications and proposed

permits will be provided to, and are

subject to review by, EPA (section

505(a)). All information submitted by a

source and the issued permit shall also

be available for public review except for

confidential information which will be

protected from disclosure (section

503(e)). Sources will semiannually

submit compliance monitoring reports

to the permitting authorities (section

504(a)). The EPA has the responsibility

to oversee implementation of the

program and to administer a Federal

operating permits program in the event

a program is not approved for a State

(section 502(d)(3)), or if EPA determines

the permitting authority is not

adequately administering its approved

program (section 502(i)(4)). The

activities to carry out these tasks are

considered mandatory and necessary for

implementation of title V and the proper

operation of the operating permits

program. This notice provides updated

burden estimates from a previously

proposed ICR (60 FR 45563).

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 EPA would like to solicit

comments to:

(i) Evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the
