Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 8 / Tuesday, January 13, 2015 / Notices 1631 

Abstract: The change proposed here is 

to modify the learning objectives 

associated with each educational 

functioning level identified in the NRS. 

As proposed here, the modified learning 

objectives, known as descriptors, will 

help modernize the accountability 

system to reflect the adult educational 

demands of the 21st Century. The 

current NRS educational functioning 

level descriptors remain in effect until 

further notice from OCTAE. The change 

proposed here will have no effect on the 

regulatory burden of the NRS-related 

information collection.

Any questions regarding this 

application should be directed to Paul

Telephone (412) 395–5540, fax (412)

Equitrans proposes to construct 50 

miles of pipeline and 36,000 

horsepower compression facilities 

located in West Virginia and Ohio. The 

project will provide up to 850,000 

dekatherms per day of additional firm 

transportation service to mid-continent 

and Gulf Coast markets. The Project will 

provide tie-ins with Rockies Express 

Pipeline, LLC, Texas Eastern 

Transmission, LP (TETCO), and existing 

Equitrans Mainline and Sunrise 

Transmission System facilities. The 

estimated cost of these facilities will be 

$416.00 million and Equitrans proposes 

to create a separate rate zone for the 

Project. Equitrans proposes an in-service 

date of June 2016. 

On June 20, 2014, the Commission 

staff granted Equitrans’ request to use 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) Pre-Filing Process and assigned 

Docket No. PF14–13–000 to staff 

activities involving the proposed 

facilities. Now, as of the filing of this 

application on December 30, 2014, the 

NEPA Pre-Filing Process for this project 

has ended. From this time forward, this 

proceeding will be conducted in Docket 

No. CP15–41–000, as noted in the 

caption of this Notice. 

Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 

within 90 days of this Notice the 

Commission staff will either: Complete 

its environmental assessment (EA) and 

place it into the Commission’s public 

record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or 

issue a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review. If a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review is 

issued, it will indicate, among other 

milestones, the anticipated date for the 

Commission staff’s issuance of the final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

or EA for this proposal. The filing of the 

EA in the Commission’s public record 

for this proceeding or the issuance of a 

Notice of Schedule will serve to notify 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
1632 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 8 / Tuesday, January 13, 2015 / Notices 

federal and state agencies of the timing 

for the completion of all necessary 

reviews, and the subsequent need to 

complete all federal authorizations 

within 90 days of the date of issuance 

of the Commission staff’s FEIS or EA. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below, file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene 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 NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

5 copies of filings made with the 

Commission and must mail a copy to 

the applicant and to every other party in 

the proceeding. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commenters will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commenters will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commenters 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

Motions to intervene, protests and 

comments may be filed electronically 

via the internet in lieu of paper; see, 18 

CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the 

instructions on the Commission’s Web 

site under the ‘‘e-Filing’’ link. The 

Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings.

Commission 

[Project No., 14647–000] 

OHP Energy, LLC; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On November 18, 2014, OHP Energy, 

LLC filed an application for a 

preliminary permit, pursuant to section 

4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 

proposing to study the feasibility of the 

Applegate River Dam Hydroelectric 

Project (Applegate Project or project) to 

be located on the Applegate River, near 

Medford in Jackson County, Oregon. 

The sole purpose of a preliminary 

permit, if issued, is to grant the permit 

holder priority to file a license 

application during the permit term. A 

preliminary permit does not authorize 

the permit holder to perform any landdisturbing activities or otherwise enter 

upon lands or waters owned by others 

without the owners’ express permission. 

The project would occupy 15.8 acres of 

U.S. Bureau of Land Management, 14.6 

acres of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

(Corps), and 26.3 acres of U.S. Forest 

Service’s lands. 

The proposed project would utilize 

head from the existing Applegate dam, 

reservoir, and a low level intake pipe 

owned and operated by the Corps, and 

consist of the following new facilities: 

(1) A multi-level withdrawal structure 

to withdraw water from the reservoir at 

centerline elevations of 1,933, 1,955 and 

1,967 feet mean sea level; (2) two 750- 

foot-long steel penstocks with diameters 

of 66-inches and 84-inches coupled 

with turbine shut-off valves at the 

intersection with the powerhouse and a 

bypass to the tailrace; (3) a 55- by 55- 

foot powerhouse containing two vertical 

Francis turbine units rated for a total of 

capacity of 10 megawatts; (4) two 20- 

foot-long integral steel draft tubes 

located within the powerhouse; (5) a 40- 

foot-long, 40-foot-wide open channel 

concrete tailrace; (6) an underground 

15-mile-long, 35-kilovolt transmission 

line; (7) a substation; and (8) 

appurtenant facilities. 

The estimated annual generation of 

the Applegate Project would be 28 

gigawatt-hours.
