WBI Energy Transmission, Inc.; Notice
of Revised Schedule for Environmental
Review of the North Bakken Expansion
Project
This notice identifies the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC
or Commission) staff’s revised schedule
for the completion of the environmental
assessment (EA) for WBI Energy
Transmission, Inc.’s (WBI Energy) North
Bakken Expansion Project. The first
notice of schedule, issued on April 10,
2020, identified September 4, 2020 as
the EA issuance date. Since issuance of
the April 10 notice, WBI Energy has
proposed pipeline route and facility
changes and has not fully responded to
a previous information request. WBI
Energy stated in a letter filed to the
project docket that it will file the
outstanding data needed for the EA,
including information regarding the
route changes, on or before September
11, 2020. As a result, Commission staff
has revised the schedule for issuance of
the EA, based on WBI Energy filing
complete information within the
forthcoming data response.
Schedule for Environmental Review
Issuance of the EA—December 17, 2020
90-day Federal Authorization Decision
Deadline—March 17, 2021
If a schedule change becomes
necessary, an additional notice will be
provided so that the relevant agencies
are kept informed of the project’s
progress.
Additional Information
In order to receive notification of the
issuance of the EA and to keep track of
all formal issuances and submittals in
specific dockets, the Commission offers
a free service called eSubscription. This
can reduce the amount of time you

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: This
publication satisfies the requirement of
the Privacy Act of 1974 that agencies
publish a system of records notice in the
Federal Register when there is a
revision, change, or addition to the
system of records. The Financial
Management Records—FCA system is
used to provide records of payments to
and collections from employees for
compensation and expenses, to provide
payments to vendors and other
Government agencies, to maintain
control over the collection and
disbursement of Agency funds and to
limit the opportunity for fraud, to
prepare reports for management and
other Government agencies, to obtain
necessary information for the issuance
and payment of credit cards, and to
assist in any audits. The Agency is
updating the notice to reflect changes to
the categories of individuals and
categories of records maintained by the
system, and to make administrative
updates as well as non-substantive
changes to conform to the SORN
template requirements prescribed in the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Circular No. A–108. The
substantive changes and modifications
to the currently published version of
FCA–2—Financial Management
Records—FCA include:
1. Identifying the records in the
system as unclassified.
2. Updating the system location to
reflect the system’s current location.
3. Updating the system managers to
reflect the system’s current owner.
4. Expanding and clarifying the
categories of records and individuals to
ensure they are consistent with the
intended purpose for which the records
are collected.
5. Expanding and clarifying how
records may be stored and retrieved.
6. Revising the retention and disposal
section to reflect updated guidance from
the National Archives and Records
Administration.
7. Revising the safeguards section to
reflect updated cybersecurity guidance
and practices.
Additionally, non-substantive
changes have been made to the notice to
align with the latest guidance from
OMB.
The amended system of records is:
FCA–2—Financial Management
Records—FCA. As required by 5 U.S.C.
552a(r) of the Privacy Act, as amended,
FCA sent notice of this proposed system
of records to the Office of Management
and Budget, the Committee on Oversight
and Government Reform of the House of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
I. Introduction
The Commission issued the original
Franchise Rule pursuant to its authority
under Section 5 of the Federal Trade
Commission Act to proscribe unfair or
deceptive acts or practices.
1
The
primary purpose of the Rule is to
provide prospective purchasers of
franchises the material information they
need in order to weigh the risks and
benefits of such an investment by
providing disclosure requirements in a
uniform format that facilitates
comparison shopping.
2
The
Commission adopted the Rule on
December 21, 1978, and it became fully
effective on July 21, 1979.
3
In 1995, the Commission announced
a regulatory review of the Franchise
Rule.
4
That proceeding, which
concluded that the Rule was still
needed but could be improved, led to
amendments to the Rule issued in 2007
(the ‘‘Amended Rule’’), which took
effect on July 1, 2008.
5
The Amended
Rule, among other changes, sought to
reduce inconsistencies between federal
and state pre-sale disclosure
requirements and established a set of
uniform disclosure requirements in a
Franchise Disclosure Document
(‘‘FDD’’). Commission staff has
continued to work closely with state
franchise regulators to promote
uniformity regarding franchise
disclosure requirements.
The Amended Rule requires
franchisors to provide prospective
franchisees with their FDD at least 14
calendar days before they make any
payment or sign a binding agreement in
connection with a proposed franchise
sale.
6
The FDD provides prospective
franchise purchasers with 23 items of
information material to their investment
decision, including the initial fees and
estimated initial investment required;
the litigation and bankruptcy history of
the franchisor, its officers and key
executives; the financial performance of
existing company owned and franchised
outlets; contact information for current
and former franchisees; and financial
statements reflecting the ability of the
franchisor to provide promised services
and support. The FDD also includes
required disclosure of any restrictions
on the sources of goods and services and
any required purchases; a franchisee’s
contractual obligations in the
establishment and operation of the
franchise; the terms of any financing
offered by the franchisor; the training
and assistance provided by the
franchisor; the extent to which the
franchisee’s outlet is protected from
