Abstract: The collection of data in the
FERC–921 is an effort by the
Commission to detect potential anticompetitive or manipulative behavior or
ineffective market rules by requiring
Regional Transmission Organizations
(RTO) and Independent System
Operators (ISO) to electronically submit,
on a continuous basis, data relating to
physical and virtual offers and bids,
market awards, resource outputs,
marginal cost estimates, shift factors,
financial transmission rights, internal
bilateral contracts, uplift, and
interchange pricing. Individual datasets
that the Commission is requesting may
be produced or retained by the market
monitoring units (MMUs). The
Commission directed each RTO and ISO
either to: (1) Request such data from its
MMU, so that the RTO or ISO can
deliver such data to the Commission; or
(2) request its MMU to deliver such data
directly to the Commission. All data for
this collection has (and is expected to
continue to) come from each RTO orISO
and not the MMUs. Therefore, any
associated burden is counted as burden
on RTO andISO.
Each RTO or ISO may make changes
to their individual markets with
Commission approval. Each RTO or ISO
may also change the data being sent to
the Commission to ensure compliance
with Order No. 760. Such changes
typically require respondents to alter
the ongoing delivery of data under
FERC–921. For this reason, the burden
estimate has been updated to reflect the
incremental burden associated with
such changes. The burden associated
with a changes varies considerably
based on the significance of the specific
change, therefore, the estimate reflects
the incremental burden for an average
change. Based on historical patterns of
change, staff estimates there to be about
one and a half changes per RTO or ISO
per year.
Type of Respondent: Regional
transmission organizations and
independent system operators.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The
Commission estimates the total annual
burden and cost 2 for this information
collection as follows.
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 explanation
of what is included in the information collection
burden, refer to Title 5 Code of Federal Regulations
1320.3.
2 Costs (for wages and benefits) are based on wage
figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for
May 2016 (at https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/
naics2_22.htm) and benefits information (for
December 2017, issued March 20, 2018, at https://
www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.nr0.htm). The
ongoing electronic delivery of data requires a

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.

Rover Pipeline LLC; Notice of
Application
On March 15, 2018, Rover Pipeline
LLC (Rover), 1300 Main Street, Houston,
Texas 77002, filed an application
pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural
Gas Act (NGA), in Docket No. CP18–
118–000, for authorization to construct
a new meter station on its Burgettstown
Lateral in Jefferson County, Ohio to
operate as a second receipt point for
amozie on DSK30RV082PROD with NOTICES

Number of
respondents

computer support specialist (code 15–1150), at an
hourly cost (wages plus benefits) of $47.30
(rounded).
Changes to the delivered data require a database
administrator (code 15–1141), legal review (code
23–0000), and executive review (code 11–1000).
According to BLS, the hourly cost (wages plus
benefits) is $65.07, $143.68, and $96.68,
respectively. We estimate the fraction of time for
each skill set for each response to be 3⁄4, 1⁄8, and

(UGS-Crawford Meter Station Project).
Rover states that the project would
consist of an ultrasonic meter skid and
ancillary facilities near Mile Post 30.5
on the Burgettstown Lateral. The UGSCrawford Meter Station would receive
up to 350,000 dekatherms per day of
natural gas from an interconnect with
the gathering facilities of Utica Gas
Services, LLC. There would be no
change in mainline capacity. Rover
estimates the cost of the project to be
approximately $4,723,718, all as more
fully set forth in the request which is on
file with the Commission and open to
public inspection. The filing may be
viewed on the web at http://
www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.

assistance, contact FERC at

Any questions regarding the
application should be directed to Blair
Lichtenwalter, Senior Director,
Regulatory Affairs, Rover Pipeline LLC,
1300 Main Street, Houston, Texas
77002, at (713) 989–2605.
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 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 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

⁄ respectively, so the weighted hourly cost (wages
plus benefits) is $78.85 (rounded). We estimate the
total time required per change to be 320 hours.
Because a response encompasses one year where
there are, on average, 1.5 changes, the total time per
response is 480 hours (1.5 × 320 hours).
3 Each RTO/ISO electronically submits data daily.
To match with past filings, we are considering the
collection of daily responses to be a single response.

4 Each RTO/ISO is estimated to make one and a
half changes yearly. To be consistent with the
formulation that the submissions over the course of
a year constitute a single response, for the purpose
of this calculation, we are assuming that each
response requires one and a half changes over the
course of the year and estimating burden
accordingly.
