12635 (Mineville Project or project). The
project would be located in a
decommissioned subterranean mine
complex 1 in the town of Moriah, Essex
County, New York. No federal lands
would be occupied by the project works
or located within the project boundary.
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act and the
Commission’s regulations, Commission
staff held public scoping meetings for
the proposed Mineville Project on
December 7, 2016, in Warrensburg, New
York, and on December 8, 2016, in Port
Henry, New York. Commission staff
originally intended to prepare an
Environmental Assessment (EA) to
analyze project effects.2 However,
during preparation of the EA and review
of the project record, staff has
determined that the Mineville Project
may constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment. Therefore, staff
now intends to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
that addresses the licensing of the
Mineville Project.
A draft EIS will be issued and
circulated for review by all interested
parties. All comments filed on the draft
EIS will be analyzed by the staff and
considered in the final EIS. The staff’s
conclusions and recommendations will
be available for the Commission’s
consideration in reaching its final
licensing decision.
The application will be processed
according to the following schedule.
Revisions to the schedule may be made
as appropriate.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Standards of Conduct for
Transmission Provider and Marketing
Affiliates of Interstate Pipelines.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0157.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–592 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The Commission uses the
information maintained and posted by
the respondents to monitor the
pipeline’s transportation, sales, and
storage activities for its marketing
affiliate to deter undue discrimination
by pipeline companies in favor of their
marketing affiliates. Non-affiliated
shippers and other entities (e.g., state
commissions) also use information to
determine whether they have been
harmed by affiliate preference and to
prepare evidence for proceedings
following the filing of a complaint.
18 CFR Part 358 (Standards of Conduct)
Respondents maintain and provide
the information required by part 358 on
their internet websites. When the
Commission requires a pipeline to post
information on its website following a
disclosure of non-public information to
its marketing affiliate, non-affiliated
shippers obtain comparable access to
the non-public transportation
information, which allows them to
compete with marketing affiliates on a
more equal basis.
18 CFR 250.16, and the FERC–592 Log/
Format
This form (log/format) provides the
electronic formats for maintaining
information on discounted
transportation transactions and capacity
allocation to support monitoring of
activities of interstate pipeline
marketing affiliates. Commission staff
considers discounts given to shippers in
litigated rate cases.
Without this information collection:
• The Commission would be unable
to effectively monitor whether pipelines

The Export-Import Bank of
the United States (EXIM), as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, invites the
general public and other Federal
Agencies to comment on the proposed
information collection, as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
Financial institutions interested in

becoming an Approved Finance
Provider (AFP) with EXIM must
complete this application in order to
obtain approval to make loans under
EXIM insurance policies and/or enter
into one or more Master Guarantee
Agreements (MGA) with EXIM.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before May 31, 2019 to be assured of
consideration.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be
submitted electronically on

3048–0032.
The information collection tool can be
reviewed at: https://www.exim.gov/
sites/default/files/pub/pending/EIB1006.pdf.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An AFP

Insurance, Bank Letter of Credit, and
Financial Institution Buyer Credit
programs as an insured lender, while
AFPs approved for an MGA may apply
for multiple loan or lease transactions to
be guaranteed by EXIM.
EXIM uses the information provided
in the form and the supplemental
information required to be submitted
with the form to determine whether the
lender qualifies to participate in its
lender insurance and guarantee
programs. The details are necessary to
evaluate whether the lender has the
capital to fund potential transactions,
proper due diligence procedures, and
the monitoring capacity to carry out
transactions.

information to or for a Federal agency. For further
explanation of what is included in the information
collection burden, reference 5 Code of Federal

2 The estimates for cost per response are derived
using the following formula: Average Burden Hours
