SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–725R, Mandatory
Reliability Standards: BAL Reliability
Standards.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0268.
Type of Request: Three-year approval
of FERC–725R information collection
requirement, as modified.
Abstract: On November 10, 2016, the
North American Electric Reliability
Corporation (NERC) filed a petition for
Commission approval of retirement,
pursuant to section 215(d)(1) of the
Federal Power Act (FPA) and Section
39.5 of the Commission’s regulations, of
currently-effective Reliability Standard
BAL–004–0 (Time Error Correction).
NERC explains that since Reliability
Standard BAL–004–0 became effective,
improvements have been made to
mandatory Reliability Standards (such
as the development of Reliability
Standards BAL–003–1.1 and BAL–001–
2 and the Interconnection Reliability
Operations and Coordination (IRO)
Standards) that help ensure continued
adherence to frequency approximating
60 Hertz over long-term averages and
make Reliability Standard BAL–004–0
redundant.
Type of Respondents: Public utilities.
Estimate of Annual Burden 1: The
Commission estimates the reduction
(due to the retirement of Reliability
Standard BAL–004–0) in the annual
public reporting burden for the
information collection as follows:
1 Burden is defined 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, refer to 5 Code of Federal
Regulations 1320.3.

In accordance with the National

Clean Air Act, and the Federal Energy
2 The estimated number of respondents is based
on the NERC compliance registry as of December
12, 2016. According to the NERC compliance
registry, there are 99 U.S. balancing authorities (BA)
and 11 reliability coordinators (RC).
3 The estimates for cost per response are derived
using the following formula: Burden Hours per
Response * $/hour = Cost per Response. The
$64.29/hour figure for an engineer and the $37.75/
hour figure for a record clerk (rounded to $38.00)
are based on the average salary plus benefits data
from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. (https://
www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm), May
2015, Section 22, Utilities. In the burden table,
engineering is abbreviated as ‘‘Eng.’’ and record
keeping is abbreviated as ‘‘R.K.’’.

Regulatory Commission’s (Commission
or FERC) regulations, Commission staff
has prepared this final General
Conformity Determination (GCD) for the
Atlantic Sunrise Project (Project)
proposed by Transcontinental Gas
Pipeline Company, LLC (Transco).
The FERC staff concludes that the
Project would achieve conformity with
the Pennsylvania State Implementation
Plan in Lancaster County through the
transfer of Emission Reduction Credits.
The Project would involve the
construction and operation of about
199.4 miles of pipeline facilities and
appurtenant aboveground facilities,
including:
• 185.9 miles of new natural gas
pipeline in Columbia, Lancaster,
Lebanon, Luzerne, Northumberland,
Schuylkill, Susquehanna, and Wyoming
Counties, Pennsylvania (58.7 miles of
30-inch-diameter and 127.3 miles of 42inch-diameter pipeline);
• 11.0 miles of new pipeline looping
in Clinton and Lycoming Counties,
Pennsylvania (2.5 miles of 36-inchdiameter and 8.5 miles of 42-inchdiameter pipeline);
• 2.5 miles of 30-inch-diameter
pipeline replacements in Prince William
County, Virginia;
• two new compressor stations in
Columbia and Wyoming Counties,
Pennsylvania (Compressor Stations 610
and 605);
• additional compression and related
modifications to two existing
compressor stations in Columbia and
Lycoming Counties, Pennsylvania
(Compressor Stations 517 and 520) and
one in Howard County, Maryland
(Compressor Station 190);
• other modifications would be taking
place at Compressor Stations 145, 150,
155, 160, 170, 185, and 190 across
Maryland, North Carolina, and Virginia;
• two new meter stations and three
new regulator stations would be
constructed and operated in
Pennsylvania. There would also be
modifications at an existing meter
station, and the construction and
operation of additional ancillary

facilities would occur in Pennsylvania;
and
• in North Carolina and South
Carolina, supplemental odorization,
odor detection, and/or odor masking/
deodorization equipment would be
installed at 56 meter stations, regulator
stations, and ancillary facilities.
For additional information on the
Project, the public can view the final
environmental impact statement on our
Web site at https://www.ferc.gov/
industries/gas/enviro/eis/2016/12-3016-FEIS.asp. The complete final General
Conformity Determination, which also
contains our responses to public
comments on the draft General
Conformity Determination, may be
