SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

no comments were received on the
renewal of FERC–567 and FERC–576
information collections. Inadvetently,
the cost caluations for FERC–576
indicated that it used the 2020 Bureau
of Labor Statistics (BLS) costs estimates
when in fact it used the 2021 costs
figures. The correct cost estimated are
reflected below. This does not effect any
information related to the collection of
FERC–567.
The following information pertains to
FERC–567 only.
Title: FERC–567, Gas Pipeline
Certificates: Annual Reports of System
Flow Diagrams.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0005.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–567 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: Per 18 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) 260.8(a), each major
interstate natural gas pipeline with a

system delivery capacity exceeding
100,000 Mcf 2 per day is required to
submit, by June 1 of each year, diagrams
reflecting operating conditions on the
pipeline’s main transmission system
during the previous 12 months ending
on December 31. The submitted
information must include (i)
configuration and location of installed
pipeline facilities; (ii) receipt and
delivery points between shippers, and
pipeline companies; (iii) location of
compressor stations on a pipeline
system; (iv) pipeline diameters; (v)
maximum allowable operating
pressures; (vi) suction and discharge
pressures at compressor stations; (vii)
installed horsepower and volumes
compressed at each compressor station;
(viii) existing shippers currently
nominating service under firm contracts
on each pipeline company; and (ix)
peak capacity on the system. The data
is collected so that it’s available in the
event the Commission needs to confirm
pipeline facility data.
Type of Respondents: Natural gas
pipeline companies with a system
delivery capacity in excess of 100,000
Mcf per day.
Estimate of Annual Burden: The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden for the information
collection as:

interruptions of service to any shipper
involving jurisdictional natural gas
facilities other than liquefied natural gas

Changes to the estimate were based on average
number of respondents over the past three years.

respondent for FERC–567 is similarly situated to
the Commission, in terms of salary plus benefits.

Based on FERC’s 2020 annual average of $172,329
(for salary plus benefits), the average hourly cost is
$83/hour.

Commonwealth LNG, LLC; Notice of
Application for Amendment and
Establishing Intervention Deadline
Take notice that on July 8, 2021,
Commonwealth LNG, LLC
(Commonwealth), One Riverway, Suite
500, Houston, TX 77056, filed an
application under section 3(a) of the
Natural Gas Act (NGA) requesting an
amendment to its August 20, 2019
application (2019 Application)
requesting authorization from the
Commission to site, construct, and
operate a natural gas liquefaction and
export facility (LNG Facility), including
an NGA Section 3 natural gas pipeline
in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.
Commonwealth’s LNG Facility,
5 Costs (for wages and benefits) are based on wage
figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) at
http://bls.gov/oes/current/naics3_221000.htm, as of
June 2021. In the 60-day notice, the costs
incorrectly reflected 2020 figures rather than the
actual 2021 cost estimates. The corrected costs are
listed above and does not impact the renewal notice
for FERC–567. Commission staff estimates that 20%

described in its 2019 Application
included six 40,000 cubic meter full
containment LNG Storage Tanks
designed with an inner and outer tank
fabricated from nine percent (9%) nickel
steel which would have required a
special authorization from the
Department of Transportation, Pipeline
and Hazardous Material Safety
Administration (PHMSA).
Commonwealth now plans to change
the design of the LNG Storage Tanks to
a traditional full-containment, modularbuilt, tank design with a nine percent
(9%) nickel inner tank and a concrete
outer tank with carbon steel liner which
would not require a special
authorization from the PHMSA.
Commonwealth also proposes to
increase the net capacity of the six LNG
Storage Tanks from 40,000 to 50,000
cubic meters each (60,000 cubic meters
total), for a new total working storage
volume of 300,000 for the LNG Facility.
