SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FERC–725F (Mandatory 

Reliability Standard for Nuclear Plant 

Interface Coordination: Reliability 

Standard NUC–001–3). 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0249. 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–725F information 

collection requirements with no changes 

to the current reporting requirements. 

Abstract: The Commission requires 

the information collected by the FERC– 

725F to implement the statutory 

provisions of section 215 of the Federal 

Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 824o). On 

August 8, 2005, the Electricity 

Modernization Act of 2005, which is 

Title XII, Subtitle A, of the Energy 

Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005), was 

enacted into law.1 EPAct 2005 added a 

new section 215 to the FPA, which 

required a Commission-certified Electric 

Reliability Organization (ERO) to 

develop mandatory and enforceable 

Reliability Standards, which are subject 

to Commission review and approval. 

Once approved, the Reliability 

Standards may be enforced by the ERO 

subject to Commission oversight, or the 

Commission can independently enforce 

Reliability Standards.2

On February 3, 2006, the Commission 

issued Order No. 672, implementing 

section 215 of the FPA.3 Pursuant to 

Order No. 672, the Commission certified 

one organization, North American 

Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), 

as the ERO. The Reliability Standards 

developed by the ERO and approved by 

the Commission apply to users, owners 

and operators of the Bulk-Power System 

as set forth in each Reliability Standard. 

On November 19, 2007, NERC filed its 

petition for Commission approval of the 

Nuclear Plant Interface Coordination 

Reliability Standard, designated NUC– 

001–1. In Order No. 716 the 

Commission approved the standard 

while also directing certain revisions.4

Reliability Standard, NUC–001–2, was 

approved by the Commission January 

21, 2010.5 Revised Reliability Standard,

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 225 / Friday, November 21, 2014 / Notices 69451 

Reliability Standard was approved the Commission 

did not go to OMB for approval. It is assumed that 

the changes made did not substantively affect the 

information collection and therefore a formal 

submission to OMB was not needed. 

6See Reliability Standard NUC–001–3 at http://

www.nerc.com/files/NUC-001-3.pdf. 

7The Commission defines burden as 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. For 

further explanation of what is included in the 

information collection burden, reference 5 Code of 

Federal Regulations 1320.3.

NUC–001–3, was filed with the 

Commission by NERC on September 15, 

2014. 

The purpose of Reliability Standard 

NUC–001–3 is to require ‘‘coordination 

between nuclear plant generator 

operators and transmission entities for 

the purpose of ensuring nuclear plant 

safe operation and shutdown.’’ 6

Reliability Standard NUC–001–3 applies 

to nuclear plant generator operators 

(generally nuclear power plant owners 

and operators, including licensees) and 

‘‘transmission entities,’’ defined in the 

Reliability Standard as including a 

nuclear plant’s suppliers of off-site 

power and related transmission and 

distribution services. Reliability 

Standard NUC–001–3 requires a nuclear 

power plant operator and its suppliers 

of back-up power and related 

transmission and distribution services 

to coordinate concerning nuclear 

licensing requirements for safe nuclear 

plant operation and shutdown and 

system operating limits. Information 

collection requirements include 

establishing and maintaining interface 

agreements, including record retention 

requirements. 

Type of Respondents: Nuclear 

operators, nuclear plants, transmission 

entities. 

Estimate of Annual Burden 7: The 

Commission estimates for the annual 

public reporting burden for the 

information collection are unchanged 

from the public notice issued for 

Reliability Standard NUC–001–2 on 10/ 

30/2014 8 in Docket No. IC14–16–000. 

Reliability Standard NUC–001–3 

represents the implementation of 

recommendations made by the NERC 

Five Year Review Team to revise 

Reliability Standard NUC–001–2. These 

recommendations include clarifying and 

conforming changes to update the 

standard for current use of terminology 

implemented in other area of the 

Reliability Standards, as well as 

updated Violation Risk Factors and 

Violation Severity Levels for the 

evaluation of violations of the 

Reliability Standard. The burden of 

complying with the requirements under 

Reliability Standard NUC–001–3 will 

not change as the changes from the 

previous Reliability Standard NUC– 

001–2 are substantially administrative 

in nature. 

Comments: Comments are invited on: 

(1) Whether the 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 estimate 

of the burden and cost of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility 

and clarity of the information collection; 

and (4) ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.

BILLING CODE 6717–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP14–545–000] 

Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Proposed Bailey East Mine Panel 2l 

Project and Request for Comments on 

Environmental Issues 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) will prepare an 

environmental assessment (EA) that will 

discuss the environmental impacts of 

the Bailey East Mine Panel 2L Project in 

Docket No. CP14–545–000 (project). The 

project involves the excavation, 

abandonment, replacement, temporary 

elevation, and reburial of pipeline 

facilities currently operated by Texas 

Eastern Transmission, LP (Texas 

Eastern) in Greene County, 

Pennsylvania to facilitate the 

underground longwall mining of coal. 

The Commission will use this EA in its 

decision-making process to determine 

whether the project is in the public 

convenience and necessity. 

This notice announces the opening of 

the scoping process the Commission 

will use to gather input from the public 

and interested agencies on the project. 

Your input will help the Commission 

staff determine what issues they need to 

evaluate in the EA. Please note that the 

scoping period will close on December 

17, 2014. 

You may submit comments in written 

form. The details on how to submit 

written comments are in the Public 

Participation section of this notice. 

This notice is being sent to the 

Commission’s current environmental 

mailing list for this project. State and 

local government representatives should 

notify their constituents of the proposed 

project and encourage them to comment 

on their areas of concern. 

If you are a landowner receiving this 

notice, a pipeline company 

representative may contact you about 

the acquisition of a temporary easement 

to abandon, replace, elevate and 

monitor the proposed activities. The 

company would seek to negotiate a 

mutually acceptable agreement. 

However, if the Commission approves 

the project, that approval conveys with 

it the right of eminent domain. 

Therefore, if easement negotiations fail 

to produce an agreement, the pipeline 

company could initiate condemnation 

proceedings where compensation would 

be determined in accordance with state 

law. 

Texas Eastern provided landowners 

with a fact sheet prepared by the FERC 

entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas 

Facility On My Land? What Do I Need 

To Know?’’ This fact sheet addresses a 

number of typically-asked questions, 

including the use of eminent domain 

and how to participate in the 

Commission’s proceedings. It is also 

available for viewing on the FERC Web 

site (www.ferc.gov). 

Summary of the Proposed Project 

Texas Eastern is seeking authorization 

from the FERC pursuant to Sections 7(b) 

and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act for the 

project, which includes work to be 

performed for the planned longwall coal 

mining activities of CONSOL Energy, 

Inc. (CONSOL) in Panel 2L of its Bailey 

East Mine. Texas Eastern designed the 

project to ensure the safe and efficient 

operation of its existing pipeline 

facilities at their certificated design 

capacities during the planned longwall 

mining activities which include mining 

coal below the pipelines and then 

allowing the mine roof to collapse after 

removing the mine braces. 

Texas Eastern proposes to excavate 

and elevate sections of Lines 10, 15, and 

25 totaling about 7,726 feet in length 

over Panel 2L to monitor and mitigate 

potential strains and stresses on these 

pipeline sections. Texas Eastern would 

also replace with like-diameter pipeline 

the excavated segments of Lines 10, 15, 

and 25 during pipe elevation. Also,
