FERC is
requested to resubmit for approval when the final rule is
promulgated. FERC should include a summary of the relevant comments
and the Commission's response. The FERC should also contact persons
outside of the agency to determine whether the burden estimated is
appropriate, or provide an explanation as to why it was not
feasible to validate its estimates at this time. FERC should note
that the current OMB approved burden is 1,000. The 83i accompanying
the final rule package approval should reflect this current burden.
FERC is requested to provide a more detailed explanation in the
supporting statement regarding the additional requirenments
applicable to Form 1-F specifically. The current supporting
statement does not explain this very clearly. Finally, the FERC
should consider combining the approval package for 1 and 1-F into a
single package, especially given that 1-F is a small collection
with similar reporting provisions to Form 1.

Under RM03-8-000 (NOPR) the Commission
is proposing to revise its regulations to establish quarterly
financial reporting requirements for jurisdictional public
utilities, natural gas and oil pipeline companies. Quarterly
reporting of financial information will provide the FERC with an
important tool to help identify emerging trends and issues
affecting jurisdictional entities within the energy
industry.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
