Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 124 / Thursday, June 28, 2007 / Notices

ACTION: Notice of revision of listing of

covered facilities.

SUMMARY: Periodically, the Department

of Energy (‘‘Department’’ or ‘‘DOE’’)

publishes a list of facilities covered

under the Energy Employees

Occupational Illness Compensation

Program Act of 2000 (‘‘Act’’), Title 36 of

Public Law 106–398 (66 FR 4003; 66 FR

31218). This Notice revises the previous

lists because it has been found that

some designated atomic weapons

employers (AWE) should not have been

so designated. Previous lists were

published on November 30, 2005,

August 23, 2004, July 21, 2003,

December 27, 2002, June 11, 2001, and

January 17, 2001.

Commission Information Collection

Activities, ProposedCollection;

Comment Request; Extension

June 20, 2007.

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice.

The Act establishes a program to

provide compensation to certain

employees who developed illnesses as a

result of their employment with DOE,

its predecessor Agencies, and certain of

its contractors and subcontractors.

Section 3621 defines an AWE as an

entity, other than the United States, that

(a) Processed or produced, for use by the

United States, material that emitted

radiation and was used in the

production of an atomic weapon,

excluding uranium mining and milling;

and (b) is designated by the Secretary of

Energy as an AWE for the purposes of

the compensation program. Section

3621 goes on to define an AWE facility

as a facility, owned by an AWE, that is

or was used to process or produce, for

use by the United States, material that

emitted radiation and was used in the

production of an atomic weapon,

excluding uranium mining or milling.

It has recently come to the attention

of the Department that a number of

entities previously designated as AWEs

failed the basic definitional test for an

AWE because the designated entities

were Agencies of the U.S. Government.

Since the definition of an AWE

specifically excludes the United States,

these previously made designations are

invalid. To make it clear that these

entities are not covered under the Act,

VerDate Aug<31>2005

this Notice formally removes the

following entities from the list.

• Naval Research Laboratory,

previously designated as an AWE in the

District of Columbia.

• Philadelphia Navy Yard, previously

designated as an AWE in Philadelphia,

Pennsylvania.

• Watertown Arsenal (Building 421),

previously designated as an AWE in

Watertown, Massachusetts.

information is necessary for the

Capacity Reports

On April 4, 1992, in Order No. 636,

the Commission established a capacity

release mechanism under which

shippers could release firm

transportation and storage capacity on

either a short or long term basis to other

shippers wanting to obtain capacity.

Pipelines posted available firm and

interruptible capacity information on

their electronic bulletin boards (EBBs)

to inform potential shippers. On

September 11, 1992, in Order No. 636–

A, the Commission determined, through

staff audits, that the efficiency of the

capacity release mechanism could be

enhanced by standardizing the content

and format of capacity release

information and the methods by which

shippers access this information, posted

to EBBs.

On April 4, 1995, through Order 577

(RM95–5–000), the Commission

amended §284.243(h) of its regulations

to allow shippers the ability to release

capacity without having to comply with

the Commission’s advance posting and

bidding requirements.

To create greater substitution between

different forms of capacity and to

enhance competition across the pipeline

grid, on February 25, 2000, in Order No.

637 RM98–10–000), the Commission

revised its capacity release regulations

regarding scheduling, segmentation and

flexible point rights, penalties, and

reporting requirements. This resulted in

more reliable capacity information

availability and price data that shippers

needed to make informed decisions in a

competitive market as well as to

improve shipper’s and the

Commission’s availability to monitor

marketplace behavior.

Index of Customers

In Order 581, issued September 28,

1995, the Commission established the

Index of Customers (IOC) information

requirement. The Index of Customers

had two functions, first, for analyzing

capacity held on pipelines and second,

for providing capacity information to

the market. The Index of Customers

information aids the capacity release

system by enabling shippers to identify

and locate those holding capacity rights

that the shippers may want to acquire.

The information was required to be

posted on the pipeline’s EBB and filed

VerDate Aug<31>2005

18:23 Jun 27, 2007

Jkt 211001

on electronic media with the

Commission. This first Index contained,

for all firm customers under contract as

of the first day of the calendar quarter,

the full legal name of the shipper, the

rate schedule number for which service

is contracted, the contract effective and

expiration dates, and the contract

quantities.

In Order 637, the Commission

required the following additional

information: the receipt and delivery

points held under contract and the

zones or segments in which the capacity

is held; the common transaction point

codes; the contract number; a shipper

identification number, such as DUNS;

an indication whether the contract

includes negotiated rates; the names of

any agents or asset managers that

control capacity in a pipeline rate zone;

and any affiliate relationship between

the pipeline and the holder of capacity.

The Index is now provided through a

quarterly filing on electronic media to

the Commission and is posted on

pipelines’ Internet Web sites.

5. Respondent Description: The

respondent universe currently

comprises 103 companies (on average)

subject to the Commission’s

jurisdiction. Capacity reports: 179,838

hours/2080 work hours per year ×

$122,137 = $10,560,035; Index of

Customers (IOC): 1,236 hours/2080

work hours per year × $122,137 =

$72,578 Total Costs = $10,632,613. The

estimated annual cost per respondent is:

Capacity Reports: $102,525; Index of

Customers: $705.

6. Estimated Burden: 181,074 total

hours, 103 respondents (average), 6

(Capacity Reports), 4 (Index of

Customers) responses per respondent,

and 291 (Capacity Reports), 3 (Index of

Customers) hours per response (rounded

off and average time)

7. Estimated Cost Burden to

respondents: 181,074 hours/2080 hours

per years × $122,137 per year =

$10,560,035. The cost per respondent is

equal to $102,525; Index of Customers:

$705.

Statutory Authority: Statutory provisions

of sections 4, 5 and 16 Natural Gas Act, 15

U.S.C. 717c–717o.
