ACTION: Request for comment.
AGENCY:

SUMMARY: The Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission or
FERC) is submitting three information
collections to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review of the
changes to the information collection
requirements relating to the application
of the Commission’s revised Company
Registration procedures to interstate and
intrastate natural gas pipelines and
interstate oil pipelines. The Commission
issued a Notice in the Federal Register,
78 FR 10,614 (February 14, 2013),
requesting public comments by April
15, 2013. FERC received no comments
and is making this notation in its
submittal to OMB.
DATES: Comments regarding the revised
information collections must be
received on or before May 31, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Comments filed with OMB
should be identified with the OMB
Control Nos. 1902–0154 (FERC–545),
1902–0086 (FERC–549), and 1902–0089
(FERC–550) and should be sent via
email to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs:
[email protected]. Attention:
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
Desk Officer. The Desk Officer may also
be reached via telephone at 202–395–
4718. A copy of the comments should
also be sent to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, identified by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
revisions to these collections of
information relate to the application of
the Commission’s revised Company
Registration procedures to interstate and
intrastate natural gas pipelines and
interstate oil pipelines.
These procedures will replace the use
of random-number generated passwords
to authenticate access to a company
registration account with a superior
method of authentication. Under the
revised procedures, each regulated
natural gas pipeline and oil pipeline
will be able to maintain a list of
eRegistered agents whom the pipeline
has authorized to submit a particular
type of filing. Implementation of these
changes will provide increased
flexibility for regulated entities to
manage their company registration
accounts and to designate agents to
make filings at the Commission. These
changes also will reduce the need for
pipelines to institute measures to
protect password integrity, including
the need to request new passwords if
existing passwords are compromised.1
At the conference on April 16, 2013,
Commission staff made a presentation
on the proposed changes. The Staff
presentation and instructional video, are
available on the Commission’s Web
site.2 The first filings under the revised
company registration system are
scheduled to be made beginning no
sooner than 7/12/2013.
OMB’s regulations 3 require approval
of certain information collection
requirements that impose identical
reporting or recordkeeping requirements
on ten or more persons. Without
consideration of potential cost savings
in reduced password management and
requests for new passwords, the onetime burden on interstate and intrastate
natural gas and oil pipelines to
transition to the revised system is

We estimate that pipelines will have
the initial implementation burden of
one hour and may annually review or
make revisions to their list of designated
agents. The total annual burden and cost
for all of the 469 respondents (for
FERC–545, –549, and –550) for this
requirement are: 469 hours or $16,879.

Action: Revised and new company
registration information requirements.
Respondents: Interstate and intrastate
natural gas pipelines and interstate oil
pipelines.
Frequency of Responses: One-time
initial implementation and periodic
updates as needed.
Need for Information: The changes are
being implemented to enhance the
security of natural gas and oil pipelines’
company registration accounts and to
provide pipelines with an enhanced
ability to manage filing permissions.
Internal Review: We have reviewed
the changes and determined that the
changes are necessary, conforming to
the Commission’s need for efficient
information collection, communication,
and management within the energy
industry. We have assured ourselves, by
means of internal review, that there is
specific, objective support for the
burden estimates associated with the
information collection requirements.
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

environmental assessment (EA) for the
Sabine Pass Liquefaction Project
Modification (Modification Project),
proposed by Sabine Pass Sabine Pass
LNG, L.P. and Sabine Pass Liquefaction,
LLC (Sabine Pass) in the abovereferenced docket. Sabine Pass requests
authorization to enhance the operation
and reliability, and facilitate the

environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
currently pending review at OMB in ICR No.

Modification Project in accordance with
the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The
FERC staff concludes that approval of
the proposed project, with appropriate
mitigating measures, would not
constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment.
The U.S. Department of
Transportation participated as a
cooperating agency in the preparation of
the EA. Cooperating agencies have
jurisdiction by law or special expertise
with respect to resources potentially
affected by the proposal and participate
in the NEPA analysis.
The proposed Modification Project
includes the following facilities:
• four feed-gas pipeline meter
stations to interconnect with the
Liquefaction Project;
• one (heavies removal unit) HRU
comprised of a heavies removal column,
a heavies removal column reboiler, a
debutanizer system, and a condensate
stabilizer system to be located inside the
battery limits within each of the four
liquefaction trains;
• two 143-gallon per minute (gpm)
debutanizer reflux pumps, three 358gpm heavies removal column reflux
pumps, and two 166-gpm heavies
removal column heavies reflux pumps
dedicated to each of the four
liquefactions.
• two 240,493-gallon condensate
storage tanks and two 100-gpm
condensate pipeline send-out pumps;
• one condensate send-out meter
station and a 4-inch-diameter send out
pipe from the condensate storage tanks
that would connect to an existing
condensate pipeline;
• additional workspaces, laydown
and parking areas;
• two additional 12-inch and 24-inch
potable; each 5,623 feet long water
7 Hourly average cost ($35.99/hour) was
calculated using Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS),
Occupational Employment Statistics data for May
2011 (for NAICS 221100—Electric Power
Generation, Transmission and Distribution, at
http://bls.gov/oes/current/naics4_221100.htm#000000) for the support staff.
