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,
1 Energy Policy Act of 2005, Public Law 109–58,

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
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.
6 See Reliability Standard NUC–001–3 at http://
www.nerc.com/files/NUC-001-3.pdf.
7 The 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.

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.

Secretary.

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,
