SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: FERC-516H, Electric Rate Schedules and Tariff Filings, Pro
Forma Open Access Transmission Tariff.
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0303.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-516H information
collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting
requirements.
    Abstract: As of March 14, 2022, FERC-516H, requires respondents
that are subject to 18 CFR 35.28 to submit compliance filings that add
a new Attachment M to their pro forma Open Access Transmission Tariffs
(OATTs). The regulation at 18 CFR 35.28, which pertains to non-
discriminatory open access transmission tariffs, applies to:
     Commission-jurisdictional public utilities that own,
control, or operate facilities used for the transmission of electric
energy in interstate commerce; and
     Non-jurisdictional utilities that seek voluntary
compliance with jurisdictional transmission tariff reciprocity
conditions.
    In Order No. 881, the Commission added 18 CFR 35.28(c)(5) to
require any public utility that owns transmission facilities that are
not under the public utility's control to, consistent with the pro
forma OATT required by 18 CFR 35.28(c)(1), share with the public
utility that controls such facilities (and its

Market Monitoring Unit(s), if applicable):
    (i) Transmission line ratings for each period for which
transmission line ratings are calculated for such facilities (with
updated ratings shared each time ratings are calculated); and
    (ii) Written transmission line rating methodologies used to
calculate the transmission line ratings for such facilities provided
under subparagraph (i), above.
    Additionally, 18 CFR 35.28(c) requires each public utility
transmission provider to have on file with the Commission and adhere to
the Commission's pro forma Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT). In
Order No. 881, the Commission added Attachment M of the Commission's
pro forma OATT to require each jurisdictional transmission provider to
maintain on the password-protected section of its OASIS page or on
another password-protected website a database of transmission line
ratings and transmission line rating methodologies. Such transmission
line ratings and transmission line rating methodologies are to be
calculated and provided by transmission owners. The database must
include a full record of all transmission line ratings, both as used in
real-time operations, and as used for all future periods for which
transmission service is offered. Additionally, Attachment M of the
Commission's pro forma OATT requires transmission providers, as the
regulated entities, to share transmission line ratings and
methodologies with any transmission provider(s) upon request and in a
timely manner.
    Type of Respondent: Transmission Owners.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: \1\ The Commission estimates the annual
public reporting burden for the information collection as below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ ``Burden'' is 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

    Comments: Comments are invited on: (1) whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden and
cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The hourly cost (for salary plus benefits) uses the figures
from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for three positions
involved in the reporting and recordkeeping requirements. These
figures include salary (based on BLS data for May 2023, http://bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm) and benefits (based on BLS data
issued March 19, 2022, http://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.nr0.htm)
and are Manager (Code 11-0000 $106.33/hour), Electrical Engineer
(Code 17-2071 $77.29/hour). The hourly cost for the reporting
requirements ($91.81 = $92 rounded) is an average of the cost of a
manager and engineer.
    \3\ Transmission owners update forecasts and ratings, and share
transmission line ratings and facility ratings methodologies w/
transmission providers and, if applicable, RTOs/ISOs & market
monitors.

the NGA,\2\ any person \3\ or the Commission's staff may file a protest
to the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed or if a

to be an intervenor.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 18 CFR 157.205(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interventions

    Any person has the option to file a motion to intervene in this
proceeding. Only intervenors have the right to request rehearing of
Commission orders issued in this proceeding and to subsequently
challenge the Commission's orders in the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal.

Commission in accordance with Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure \5\ and the regulations under the NGA \6\ by the
intervention deadline

214, your motion to intervene must state, to the extent known, your
position regarding the proceeding, as well as your interest in the
proceeding. For an individual, this could include your status as a
landowner, ratepayer, resident of an impacted community, or

[Docket No. CP20-527-000]

Columbia Gulf Transmission, LLC; Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed East Lateral Xpress Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the East
Lateral XPress Project, proposed by Columbia Gulf Transmission, LLC
(Columbia Gulf) in the above-referenced docket. Columbia Gulf requests
authorization to construct and operate two new compressor stations, a
new meter station, and other appurtenant facilities, to provide 725
million standard cubic feet per day of firm transportation capacity to
supply feed gas for Venture Global Plaquemines LNG, LLC's liquefied
natural gas facility in Plaquemines Parish.
    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the East Lateral XPress Project in
accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy
Act. The FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed project,
with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a major
federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment.

Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Your comments should
focus on the EA's disclosure and discussion of potential environmental
effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen
environmental impacts. The more specific your comments, the more useful
they will be. To ensure that the Commission has the opportunity to
consider your comments prior to making its decision on this project, it
is important that we receive your comments in Washington, DC on or
before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 15, 2021.

the Commission's decision. At this point in this proceeding, the
timeframe for filing timely intervention requests has expired. Any
person seeking to become a party to the proceeding must file a motion
to intervene out-of-time pursuant to Rule 214(b)(3) and (d) of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 385.214(b)(3) and
