rate regulation, market oversight
analysis, and financial audits by major
electric utilities, licensees, and others. A
major electric utility, licensee, or other
reporter is defined as having in each of
the last three consecutive calendar
years, sales or transmission services that
exceed one of the following: (1) one
million megawatt-hours of total sales;
(2) 100 megawatt-hours of sales for
resale; (3) 500 megawatt-hours of power
exchanges delivered; or (4) 500
megawatt-hours of wheeling for others
(deliveries plus losses).1
FERC Form No. 1 is designed to
collect financial and operational
information and is made available to the
public. FERC Form No. 1 includes a
basic set of financial statements:
• Comparative Balance Sheet,
• Statement of Income,
• Statement of Retained Earnings,
• Statement of Cash Flows,
• Statement of Accumulated
Comprehensive Income and Hedging
Activities, and
• Notes to Financial Statements.
Supporting schedules contain:
• Supplementary information and
outlines of corporate structure and
governance,
• Information on formula rates, and
• Description of important changes
during the year.
Other schedules provide:
• Information on revenues and the
related quantities of electric sales and
electricity transmitted,
• Account balances for all electric
operation and maintenance expenses,
• Selected plant cost data, and
• Other statistical information.
Type of Respondent: Major electric
utilities.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 2 The
Commission estimates the annual
burden and cost 3 for FERC Form No. 1
as follows:
1 As detailed in 18 CFR part 101 (Uniform System
of Accounts Prescribed for Public Utilities and
Licensees Subject to the Provision of the Federal
Power Act, General Instructions) and 18 CFR 141.1.
2 Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide
information to or for a Federal agency. For further
explanation of what is included in the information
collection burden, refer to 5 CFR 1320.3. The
burden hours and costs are rounded for ease of
presentation.
3 The cost is based on FERC’s 2025 Commissionwide average salary cost (salary plus benefits) of
$103.00/hour. The Commission staff believes the
FERC FTE (full-time equivalent) average cost for
wages plus benefits is representative of the
corresponding cost for the industry respondents.

Transwestern Pipeline Company, LLC;
Notice of Scoping Period Requesting
Comments on Environmental Issues
for the Proposed WT–0 Compressor
Station Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an
environmental document, that will
discuss the environmental impacts of
the WT–0 Compressor Station involving
construction and operation of facilities
by Transwestern Pipeline Company,
LLC (Transwestern) in Chaves County,
New Mexico. The Commission will use
this environmental document in its
decision-making process to determine
whether the project is in the public
convenience and necessity.

Jkt 265001

This notice announces the opening of
the scoping process the Commission
will use to gather input from the public
and interested agencies regarding the
project. As part of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
review process, the Commission takes
into account concerns the public may
have about proposals and the
environmental impacts that could result
from its action whenever it considers
the issuance of a Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity. This
gathering of public input is referred to
as ‘‘scoping.’’ The main goal of the
scoping process is to focus the analysis
in the environmental document on the
important environmental issues.
Additional information about the
Commission’s NEPA process is
described below in the NEPA Process
and the Environmental Document
section of this notice.
By this notice, the Commission
requests public comments on the scope
of issues to address in the
environmental document. To ensure
that your comments are timely and
properly recorded, please submit your
comments so that the Commission
receives them in Washington, DC, on or
before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March
5th, 2025. Comments may be submitted
in written form. Further details on how
to submit comments are provided in the
Public Participation section of this
notice.
Your comments should focus on the
potential environmental effects,
reasonable alternatives, and measures to
avoid or lessen environmental impacts.
Your input will help the Commission
staff determine what issues they need to
evaluate in the environmental
document. Commission staff will
consider all written comments during
the preparation of the environmental
document.
If you submitted comments on this
project to the Commission before the
opening of this docket on December 20,
2024, you will need to file those
comments in Docket No. CP25–37–000
to ensure they are considered as part of
this proceeding.

This notice is being sent to the
Commission’s current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and
local government representatives should
notify their constituents of this
proposed project and encourage them to
comment on their areas of concern.
If you are a landowner receiving this
notice, a pipeline company
representative may contact you about
the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the
proposed facilities. The company would
seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable
easement agreement. You are not
required to enter into an agreement.
However, if the Commission approves
the project, the Natural Gas Act conveys
the right of eminent domain to the
company. Therefore, if you and the
company do not reach an easement
agreement, the pipeline company could
initiate condemnation proceedings in
court. In such instances, compensation
would be determined by a judge in
accordance with state law. The
Commission does not subsequently
grant, exercise, or oversee the exercise
of that eminent domain authority. The
courts have exclusive authority to
handle eminent domain cases; the
Commission has no jurisdiction over
these matters.
Transwestern provided landowners
with a fact sheet prepared by the FERC
entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas
Facility On My Land? What Do I Need
To Know?’’ which addresses typically
asked questions, including the use of
eminent domain and how to participate
in the Commission’s proceedings. This
fact sheet along with other landowner
topics of interest are available for
viewing on the FERC website
(www.ferc.gov) under the Natural Gas,
Landowner Topics link.
Public Participation
There are three methods you can use
to submit your comments to the
Commission. Please carefully follow
these instructions so that your
comments are properly recorded. The
Commission encourages electronic filing
of comments and has staff available to
