SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Mandatory Reliability 

Standards: Reliability Standard CIP– 

014. 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0274. 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–725U information 

collection requirements with no changes 

to the reporting requirements. 

Abstract: Reliability Standard CIP– 

014–2 1 requires applicable transmission 

owners and transmission operators to 

identify and protect transmission 

stations and transmission substations, 

and their associated primary control 

centers that if rendered inoperable or 

damaged as a result of a physical attack 

could result in instability, uncontrolled 

separation, or cascading within an 

Interconnection. 

Transmission owners and 

transmission operators must keep data 

or evidence to show compliance with 

the standard for three years unless 

directed by its Compliance Enforcement 

Authority. If a responsible entity is 

found non-compliant, it must keep 

information related to the noncompliance until mitigation is complete 

and approved, or for the three years, 

whichever is longer. 

Type of Respondents: Transmission 

owners (TO) and transmission operators 

(TOP). 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 2 The 

Commission estimates the annual public 

reporting burden for the information 

collection as: 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
50646 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 210 / Wednesday, November 1, 2017 / Notices 

3For each Reliability Standard, the Measure 

shows the acceptable evidence for the associated 

Reporting Requirement (R numbers), and the 

Compliance section details the related 

Recordkeeping Requirement. 4The estimates for cost per response are derived 

using the following formula: Average Burden Hours 

per Response * XX per Hour = Average Cost per 

Response. 

The hourly cost figures are based on data for 

wages plus benefits from the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics (as of 11/9/2016) at https://www.bls.gov/ 

oes/current/naics2_22.htm and http://www.bls.gov/ 

news.release/ecec.nr0.htm. The figures are rounded 

for the purposes of calculations in this table and 

are: 

1. For electrical engineers (occupation code: 17– 

2071), $64.29/hr., rounded to $64/hr. 

2. For attorneys (occupation code: 23–0000), 

$129.12/hr., rounded to $129/hr. 

3. For administrative staff (occupation code: 43– 

0000), $37.75/hr., rounded to $38/hr. 

The record retention cost is based on the 

administrative staff category; R3 is based on the 

attorney category; Requirements R1, R4, R5 and R6 

are based on the electrical engineer category; and 

R2 is a mix of the electrical engineer and related 

engineering review process (30 hrs. at $64/hr.) and 

attorney (4 hrs. at $129/hr.) categories. The 

resulting average hourly figure is $71.65, rounded 

to $72/hr.

Commission 

[Docket No. CP18–6–000] 

RH energytrans, LLC; Notice of 

Application 

Take notice that on October 16, 2017, 

RH energytrans, LLC (RH), 558 West 6th 

Street, Erie, PA 16507, filed an 

application pursuant to section 7(c) of 

the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Parts 

157 and 284 of the Commission’s 

Regulations requesting authority to 

construct and operate a new interstate 

natural gas pipeline system (referred to 

as the Risberg Line), including pipeline 

facilities, two compressor stations, 

metering and regulating stations and 

appurtenant facilities in Pennsylvania 

and Ohio. 

Specifically, the project would 

include a total of 59.9 miles of pipeline 

incorporating 31.6 miles of existing 8- 

inch and 12-inch diameter gas pipeline 

currently used as gathering facilities and 

28 miles of new 12-inch diameter 

pipeline. The pipeline facilities begin at 

a new point of interconnection with 

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, LLC 

adjacent to the Meadville Compressor 

Station in Crawford County, 

Pennsylvania and extend to a new 

delivery point interconnection with the 

distribution facilities of Dominion 

Energy Ohio (DEO) in North Kingsville 

in Ashtabula County, Ohio. The project 

also includes the reconstruction and 

conversion of two compressor stations 

totaling 1,862 hp. The Risberg Line 

would provide for 55,000 Dth/d of firm 

transportation service to northeast Ohio 

markets. The estimated cost to construct 

the project and to acquire the existing 

gathering pipeline is about $88 million. 

The filing may be viewed on the Web
