free,<PHONE_NUMBER> or TYY,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to
Kenneth E. Webster, Attorney for National Fuel and Empire, 6363 Main
Street, Williamsville, New York 14221, or call at<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Specifically, National Fuel requests authorization: (i) To
construct 96.49 miles of 24-inch diameter pipeline; (ii) to add 5,350
horsepower (hp) of compression at the Porterville, New York compressor
station; (iii) to construct an interconnect meter and regulation (M&R)
station with Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C.'s 200 Line; (iv) to
construct an M&R station and tie-in in Hinsdale, New York; (v) to
construct an interconnection with NFG Midstream Clermont, L.L.C.; (vi)
to construct a new tie-in; (vii) to construct a pressure reduction
station; (viii) to abandon, via sale to Empire, 1.08 miles of National
Fuel's existing Line XM-10 pipeline and certain other existing
facilities; (ix) to charge an initial incremental firm recourse rate
for the Project; and (x) for a limited waiver of General Terms and
Conditions Section 31.1 of National Fuel's tariff to permit the
Project's Foundation Shipper to shift its primary delivery point for a
portion of the Project's incremental capacity more than ninety days
after its initial request. National Fuel proposes to provide 497,000
dekatherms per day of new firm natural gas transportation capacity.
    Empire requests authorization to: (i) Construct a new 22,214 hp
compressor station in Pendleton, New York; (ii) construct and operate
approximately 0.90 miles of 16-inch pipeline; (iii) construct and
operate approximately 1.17 miles of 24-inch pipeline; (iv) construct a
new dehydration facility; (v)

construct two new tie-ins; and (vi) acquire from National Fuel the
aforementioned 1.08 miles of Line XM-10. Empire proposes to provide
350,000 dekatherms per day of new firm natural gas transportation
capacity.
    National Fuel and Empire request authorization to abandon their
jointly owned meter station along Line XM-10 in Pendleton, New York.
The total cost of the Project would be approximately $376,670,388
(National Fuel) and $78,710,359 (Empire).
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule will serve to
notify federal and state agencies of the timing for the completion of
all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal
authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission
staff's FEIS or EA.
    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 participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    Motions to intervene, protests and comments may be filed
electronically via the internet in lieu of paper; see, 18 CFR
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site
under the ``e-Filing'' link. The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings.
    Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 25, 2015.

    Dated: November 4, 2015.
Nathaniel J. Davis, Sr.,
Deputy Secretary.

Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20210,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burdens, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information
collection requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (PRA-95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that
information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs)
is minimal, collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's
estimate of the information collection burden is correct. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of the 1970 (the Act) authorizes
information collection by employers as necessary or appropriate for
enforcement of the Act or for developing information regarding the
causes and prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657 et seq.).
    The OSPP allows OSHA to enter into an extended, voluntary,
cooperative relationship with groups of employers, employees, and
representatives (sometimes including other stakeholders, and sometimes
involving only one employer) to encourage, assist and recognize their
efforts to eliminate serious hazards and achieve a high level of worker
safety and health that goes beyond what historically has been achieved
through traditional enforcement methods. Each OSHA Strategic
Partnership (OSP) determines which information will be needed,
determining the best collection method, and clarifying how the
information will be used. At a minimum, each OSP must identify baseline
illness and injury data corresponding to all summary line items on the
OSHA 200/300 logs, and must track changes at either the worksite level
or participant-aggregate level. An OSP may also include other measures
of success, such as training activity, self inspections, and/or
workers' compensation data.
    In this regard, the information collection requirements for the
OSPP is used by the Agency to gauge the effectiveness of its programs,
identify needed improvements, and ensure that its resources are being
used to good and effective purposes.

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirements
are necessary for the proper performance of the Agency's function,
including whether the information is useful;
     The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and
costs) for the information collection requirements, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     The quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected;
     Ways to minimize the burden on those who are to respond,
including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.

III. Proposed Actions

    OSHA is requesting that OMB extend the approval of the collection
of information (paperwork) requirements outlined by the Strategic
Partnership Program. In addition, the Agency proposes to use a blanket
approval, eliminating the need for the Agency to submit the collection
of information requirements for each individual partnership to OMB for
approval. The Agency also proposes to increase the existing burden
hours estimates as a result of the increasing the number of
partnerships. OSHA will summarize the comments submitted in response to
this notice, and will include this summary in its request to OMB to
extend the approval of the collection of information requirements.
    Type of Review: Extension of currently approved information
collection requirements.
    Title: OSHA Strategic Partnership Program for Worker Safety and
Health (OSPP).
    OMB Number: 1218-0244.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits; not-for-profit
institutions; Federal government; State, local or tribal governments.

    Frequency: Annually.
    Number of Respondents: 5,113.
    Estimated Time Per Respondent: 11 hours.
    Total Burden Hours: 57,923.

IV. Public Participation--Submission of Comments on This Notice and
Internet Access to Comments and Submissions

    You may submit comments in response to this document by (1) hard
copy, (2) FAX transmission (facsimile), or (3) electronically through
the OSHA Web page. Because of security-related problems, there may be
