Sec. 4.39  Specifications for maps and drawings.

    All required maps and drawings must conform to the following 
specifications, except as otherwise prescribed in this chapter:
    (a) Each original map or drawing must consist of a print on silver 
or gelatin 35mm microfilm mounted on Type D (3\1/4\[sec] by 7\3/8\[sec]) 
aperture cards. Full-sized prints of maps and drawings must be on sheets 
no smaller than 24 by 36 inches and no larger than 28 by 40 inches. A 
space five inches high by seven inches wide must be provided in the 
lower right hand corner of each sheet. The upper half of this space

must bear the title, numerical and graphical scale, and other pertinent 
information concerning the map or drawing. The lower half of the space 
must be left clear. Exhibit G drawings must be stamped by a registered 
land surveyor. If the drawing size specified in this paragraph limits 
the scale of structural drawings (exhibit F drawings) described in 
paragraph (c) of this section, a smaller scale may be used for those 
drawings. Potential applicants or licensees may be required to file maps 
or drawings in electronic format as directed by the Commission.
    (b) Each map must have a scale in full-sized prints no smaller than 
one inch equals 0.5 miles for transmission lines, roads, and similar 
linear features and no smaller than one inch equals 1,000 feet for other 
project features, including the project boundary. Where maps at this 
scale do not show sufficient detail, large scale maps may be required.
    (1) True and magnetic meridians;
    (2) State, county, and town lines; and
    (3) Boundaries of public lands and reservations of the United States 
[see 16 U.S.C. 796 (1) and (2)], if any. If a public land survey is 
available, the maps must show all lines of that survey crossing the 
project area and all official subdivisions of sections for the public 
lands and reservations, including lots and irregular tracts, as 
designated on the official plats of survey that may be obtained from the 
Bureau of Land Management, Washington, DC, or examined in the local land 
survey office; to the extent that a public land survey is not available 
for public lands and reservations of the United States, the maps must 
show the protractions of townships and section lines, which, if 
possible, must be those recognized by the Federal agency administering 
those lands.
    (c) Drawings depicting details of project structures must have a 
scale in full-sized prints no smaller than:
    (1) One inch equals 50 feet for plans, elevations, and profiles; and
    (2) One inch equals 10 feet for sections.
    (d) Each map or drawing must be drawn and lettered to be legible 
when it is reduced to a print that is 11 inches on its shorter side. 
Following notification to the applicant that the application has been 
accepted for filing [see Sec. 4.31(c)], prints reduced to that size 
must be bound in each copy of the application which is required to be 
submitted to the Commission or provided to any person, agency, or other 
entity.
    (e) The maps and drawings showing project location information and 
details of project structures must be filed in accordance with the 
Commission's instructions on submission of Critical Energy 
Infrastructure Information in Sec. Sec. 388.112 and 388.113 of 
subchapter X of this chapter.
