ensure that the prices are just and
reasonable, maintain the integrity of the
wholesale jurisdictional sales markets,
and ensure that the entities comply with
the requirements of the FPA and any

sales. FERC–915 information collection
requirements are contained in 18 Code
of Federal Regulations Part 35.41(d).

Take notice that on May 5, 2015,
Equitrans, L.P. (Equitrans) filed an
amendment, pursuant to section 7(c) of
the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the
Commission’s Regulations, for the Ohio
Valley Connector Project in West

Virginia, and Ohio. The application of
the project was originally filed on
December 30, 2014 in Docket No. CP15–
41–000. The amended filing may be
viewed on the web at http://
www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.
Enter the docket number excluding the
last three digits in the docket number
field to access the document. For
assistance, contact FERC at
[email protected] or call
toll-free, (886) 208–3676 or TYY, (202)
502–8659.
Any questions regarding this
application should be directed to Paul
W. Diehl, Senior Counsel, Midstream,
Equitrans, L.P., 625 Liberty Avenue,
Suite 1700, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
Telephone (412) 395–5540, fax (412)
553–7781, and email: [email protected].
Equitrans states that after filing the
original application, Equitrans has
continued working with landowners
and other interested parties with respect
to the route of the pipeline and the
specific facilities that will be necessary.
Also, after discussions with a proposed
shipper, Equitrans has determined that
the proposed H–313 pipeline will not be
required to provide the firm
transportation service. To accommodate
this change, Equitrans proposes to
eliminate the H–313 pipeline from the
scope of the project. The H–313 pipeline
is approximately 14.0 miles and 24-inch

diameter. Equitrans also proposes four
minor re-routes of the proposed H–310
pipeline and changes of facilities. The
amendment does not affect the Ohio
Valley Connector Project’s designed
capacity of 850 MMcf/day.
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

2 The estimates for cost per response are derived
using the following formula: Average Burden Hours
per Response * $30.66 per Hour = Average Cost per
Response. The hourly cost figure comes from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics Web site (http://
www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm). The
occupation title is ‘‘file clerk’’ and the occupation

code is 43–4071. 69.4 percent of this cost is hourly
wages. The rest of the cost is benefits (http://
www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.nr0.htm).
3 The Commission bases this figure on industry
archival storage costs.
4 Only 50% of records are retained in electronic
formats.

5 The Commission bases the $28/hour figure on
a FERC staff study that included estimating public
utility recordkeeping costs.
6 The Commission bases the estimated $15.25/
year for each entity on the estimated cost to service
and to store 1 GB of data (based on the aggregated
cost of an IBM advanced data protection server).

The total estimated annual cost
burden to respondents is: $416,293.
• Labor costs: 1,955 hours * $30.66/
hour = $59,940
• Record retention/storage cost for
paper records (using an estimate of
48,891 cubic feet): $315,792 3
• Electronic record retention/storage
cost: $40,561
Æ staff-time cost: 1,955 hours ÷ 2 4 =
977.50 hours * $28/hour 5 =
$27,370;
Æ electronic record storage cost: 865 *
$15.25/year 6 = $13,191
