Mid-Atlantic Hydro, LLC; Notice of
Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On December 1, 2014, Mid-Atlantic
Hydro, LLC filed an application for a
preliminary permit under section 4(f) of
the Federal Power Act proposing to
study the feasibility of the proposed
Ellis Hydroelectric Project No. 14649–
000, to be located at the existing Ellis
Lock and Dam on the Muskingum River,
near the township of Ellis, in
Muskingum County, Ohio. The Ellis
Lock and Dam is owned and operated
by the state of Ohio. There are no
federal lands associated with the
project. The sole purpose of a
preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant
the permit holder priority to file a
license application during the permit
term. A preliminary permit does not
authorize the permit holder to perform
any land-disturbing activities or
otherwise enter upon lands or waters
owned by others without the owners’
express permission.
The proposed project would consist
of: (1) The existing 340-foot-long by
15.3-foot-high Ellis Dam spillway and
352-acre reservoir with a normal
elevation of 690 feet mean sea level; (2)
five new 500-kilowatt Very Low Head
4000 submersible turbine-generator
units with a combined capacity of 2.5
megawatts; (3) a new 40-foot-long by 20foot-wide switchyard containing a three
phase step-up transformer, protective
equipment, and metering equipment; (4)
a new 150-foot-long, 12.5 to 34.5
kilovolt, overhead transmission line that
would connect to an existing local
utility distribution system; and (5)
appurtenant facilities. The project

would have an estimated annual
generation of 9,500 megawatt-hours.

intends to extend for three years the
Form EIA–886, Annual Survey of
Alternative Fueled Vehicles, an
information collection request with the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). Comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the extended collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
DATES: Comments regarding this
proposed information collection must
be received on or before May 18, 2015.
If you anticipate difficulty in submitting
comments within that period, contact
the person listed in the ADDRESSES
section below as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Written comments may be
sent to Cynthia Amezcua, EI–22, U.S.

Washington, DC 20585, or by fax at
(202) 586–9753 or by email at

instrument and instructions should be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No.: 1905–0191;
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: Annual Survey of Alternative
Fueled Vehicles;
(3) Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection;
(4) Purpose: Form EIA–886 is an
annual survey that collects information
on the number and type of alternative
fueled vehicles (AFVs) and other
advanced technology vehicles that
vehicle suppliers made available in the
previous calendar year and plan to make
available in the following calendar year;
the number, type and geographic
distribution of AFVs in use in the
previous calendar year; and the amount
and distribution of each type of

alternative transportation fuel (ATF)
consumed in the previous calendar year.
Form EIA–886 data are collected from
suppliers and users of AFVs. EIA uses
data from these groups as a basis for
estimating total AFV and ATF use in the
U.S. These data are needed by Federal
and State agencies, fuel suppliers,
transit agencies and other fleets to
determine if sufficient quantities of
AFVs are available for purchase and to
provide Congress with a measure of the
extent to which the objectives of the
Energy Policy Act of 1992 are being
achieved. These data serve as market
analysis tools for Congress, Federal/
State agencies, AFV suppliers, vehicle
fleet managers, and other interested
organizations and persons. These data
are also needed to satisfy numerous
public requests for detailed information
on AFVs and ATFs (in particular, the
number of AFVs distributed by State, as
well as the amount and location of the
ATFs being consumed).
EIA publishes summary information
from the Form EIA–886 database in an
annual report on EIA’s Web site
(www.eia.gov). This report covers
historical and projected supplies of
AFVs, AFV usage by selected user
groups, and estimates of total U.S. AFV
counts and U.S. consumption of ATFs.
These data provide baseline inputs for
DOE’s transportation sector energy
models. They also provide the energy
consumption measures for alternative
transportation fuels in EIA’s State
Energy Data System. For example, EIA’s
National Energy Modeling System
(NEMS) has a component model that
forecasts transportation sector energy
consumption and provides a framework
for AFV policy and technology analysis.
The data obtained from Form EIA–886
are used to improve the explanatory
power of the NEMS Transportation
Demand Model by allowing for greater
detail in representing AFV types and
characteristics;
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 2,050;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 7,815;
AFV Suppliers (30 Original
Equipment Manufacturers): 2.5 hours;
AFV Suppliers (20 Aftermarket
Vehicle Converters): 2 hours;
AFV Users (100 complex fleets): 20
hours;
AFV Users (1,900 simple fleets): 3
hours;
(7) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: EIA
estimates that there are no capital and
start-up costs associated with this data
collection. The information is
maintained in the normal course of
business. The cost of burden hours to

VerDate Sep<11>2014

the respondents is estimated to be
$562,446 (7,815 burden hours times
$71.97 per hour). Therefore, other than
the cost of burden hours, EIA estimates
that there are no additional costs for
generating, maintaining and providing
the information.
Statutory Authority: The legal
authority for this data collection effort is
provided by the following provisions:
Section 13(b) of the Federal Energy
Administration Act of 1974, Public Law
93–275, (FEA Act), and codified at 15
U.S.C. 772 (b), and Section 503(b)(2) of
the Energy Policy Act of 1992, Public
Law 102–486 (EPACT92) codified at 42
U.S.C. 13253.
