I also support the series of questions
included in the proposal regarding small
financial institutions. In the Dodd-Frank Act,
Congress directed the commission to
consider possible exemptions for small
financial institutions. I look forward to
hearing from the public on their views on
this and what conditions would be
appropriate for such exemptions.

1. In this Notice of Inquiry, the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission) seeks comments on
whether the Commission should modify
the semi-annual storage reports required
of interstate and intrastate natural gas
companies pursuant to 18 CFR 284.13(e)
and 284.126(c) of the Commission’s
regulations.1 In particular, the
Commission is interested in exploring
whether it should modify the
information currently collected in the
semi-annual storage reports, whether
there should be a standardized
electronic format for the reports, and
whether the storage reports must be
public.
I. Background
2. Section 284.13(e) of the
Commission’s regulations requires
interstate pipelines to file semi-annual
storage reports at the end of each
complete storage injection and
withdrawal season. Section 284.126(c)
requires similar reports by (1) intrastate
natural gas pipelines providing
interstate transportation service
pursuant to section 311 of the Natural
Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA) 2 and (2)
Hinshaw pipelines providing interstate
service subject to the Commission’s
Natural Gas Act (NGA) section 1(c)
jurisdiction pursuant to blanket
certificates issued under 18 CFR
1 The FERC Form No. 549B reporting
requirements in 18 CFR 284.13(e) are approved by
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under
OMB Control No. 1902–0169. The Form No. 549
reporting requirements in 18 CFR 284.126(c) are
approved under OMB Control No. 1902–0089.

284.224.3 The reports by both sets of
pipelines must include:
(1) The identity of each customer injecting
gas into storage and/or withdrawing gas from
storage (including, for interstate pipelines,
any affiliate relationship),
(2) the rate schedule (for interstate
pipelines) or docket number (for intrastate
pipelines) authorizing the storage injection or
withdrawal service,
(3) the maximum storage quantity and
maximum daily withdrawal quantity
applicable to each storage customer,
(4) for each storage customer, the volume
of gas (in dekatherms) injected into and/or
withdrawn from storage during the period,
(5) the unit charge and total revenues
received during the injection/withdrawal
period from each storage customer
(including, for interstate pipelines, any
discounts), and
(6) for intrastate pipelines, any related
docket numbers under which the intrastate
pipeline reported storage related injection/
withdrawal transportation services.

The pipelines must file these reports
within 30 days of the end of each
complete storage injection and
withdrawal season, and the reports must
be signed under oath by a senior official.
The Commission has not adopted any
standardized electronic form for
pipelines to submit the semi-annual
storage reports. Nor has the Commission
expressly required that the reports be
public.
3. The Commission adopted the
existing semi-annual storage reporting
requirements for both interstate and
intrastate pipelines in their current form
in 1992 as part of Order No. 636,4 and
there have been only minor
modifications in the semi-annual
storage reporting requirements since
3 Section 1(c) of the NGA exempts from the
Commission’s NGA jurisdiction those pipelines
which transport gas in interstate commerce if (1)
they receive natural gas at or within the boundary
of a state, (2) all the gas is consumed within that
state, and (3) the pipeline is regulated by a state
Commission. This exemption is referred to as the
Hinshaw exemption after the Congressman who
introduced the bill amending the NGA to include
section 1(c). See ANR Pipeline Co. v. Federal Energy
Regulatory Comm’n, 71 F.3d 897, 898 (1995)
(briefly summarizing the history of the Hinshaw
exemption).

that date.5 In Order No. 637,6 the
Commission revised the reporting
requirements for interstate pipelines in
order to require them to post on their
internet Web sites basic information on
the terms of each transportation and
storage contract with individual
shippers, no later than the first
nomination under a transaction.7 These
posting requirements are set forth in
section 284.13(b) of the Commission’s
regulations.8 However, Order No. 637
did not modify the semi-annual storage
reporting requirement for either
interstate pipelines or section 311 and
Hinshaw pipelines.
4. In recent years, the Commission has
updated almost all of its other reporting
requirements to clarify their public
status, standardize the filing format, and
streamline the process of publishing the
reported data to the general public. For
example, in Order No. 2001,9 the
Commission amended its filing
requirements for public utilities under
the Federal Power Act (FPA) to require
them to file Electric Quarterly Reports
(EQR) summarizing the contractual
terms and conditions in their contracts
5 In 1995 in Order No. 581, the Commission held
that it would ‘‘retain the semi-annual storage
reports,’’ and ‘‘not exempt intrastate storage
companies charging market-based rates from the
requirement to file semi-annual storage reports,’’
and made minor changes to the regulatory text.

for all jurisdictional services during the
most recent calendar quarter. The EQRs
include information similar to that
required by the semi-annual storage
reports, including the quantities of
service provided and the rates charged
for all sales under the reported
contracts. Order No. 2001 required that
the EQRs be filed in a standardized
electronic format and that they be
public.10 In Order No. 710,11 the
Commission revised the Commission’s
financial reporting requirements for
natural gas pipelines, FERC Form Nos.
2, 2–A, and 3–Q, also adopting
standardized electronic forms for the
filing of these reports and requiring
them to be public. Similarly, new forms,
such as Form No. 552 issued pursuant
to the transparency provisions of section
23 of the Natural Gas Act, have likewise
emphasized standardization and
transparency.12
5. Most relevant to this proceeding, on
May 20, 2010, the Commission issued
Order No. 735 to bring the less stringent
transactional reporting requirements for
NGPA section 311 intrastate pipelines
and Hinshaw pipelines closer in line
with the 18 CFR 284.13(b) posting
requirements for interstate pipelines.13
As part of that proceeding, the
Commission revised the former annual
transportation report at 18 CFR
284.126(b) to cover storage as well.
Order No. 735 requires that section 311
and Hinshaw pipelines file quarterly
reports in a standardized electronic
format, and requires that those reports
be public. As revised in a
contemporaneous order on rehearing,
the new quarterly reports must contain
the following information on each
transportation and storage transaction,
aggregated by contract:
i. The full legal name, and identification
number, of the shipper receiving the service,
including whether there is an affiliate
relationship between the pipeline and the
shipper;

ii. The type of service performed (i.e., firm
or interruptible transportation, storage, or
other service);
iii. The rate charged under each contract,
specifying the rate schedule/name of service
and docket where the rates were approved.
The report should separately state each rate
component set forth in the contract (i.e.,
reservation, usage, and any other charges);
iv. The primary receipt and delivery points
covered by the contract, identified by the list
of points that the pipeline has published
with the Commission, which shall include
the industry common code for each point
where one has already been established;
v. The quantity of natural gas the shipper
is entitled to transport, store, or deliver under
each contract;
vi. The duration of the contract, specifying
the beginning and (for firm contracts only)
ending month and year of the current
agreement;
vii. Total volumes transported, stored,
injected, or withdrawn for the shipper; and
viii. Annual revenues received for each
shipper, excluding revenues from storage
services. The report should separately state
revenues received under each component,
and need only be reported every fourth
quarter.

6. Order No. 735 did not modify the
existing semi-annual storage reporting
requirement for section 311 and
Hinshaw pipelines in section 284.126(c)
of the Commission’s regulations in any
way. That semi-annual storage report
collects certain information that the new
quarterly reports do not. This includes
(1) the volumes actually injected and
withdrawn from storage during the
injection and withdrawal seasons and
(2) revenues collected from each
customer. Moreover, because the semiannual reporting periods are tied to the
injection and withdrawal season, the
time periods covered by each report do
not correspond precisely. Similarly, the
18 CFR 284.13(b) posting requirements
for interstate pipelines do not collect
this information.
II. Discussion
7. The Commission is issuing this
Notice of Inquiry to consider whether
and how the semi-annual storage reports
required of both interstate and intrastate
pipelines should be modified in light of
(1) changes in the natural gas market
since the Commission originally
adopted the semi-annual storage
reporting requirements and (2) recent
improvements in the Commission’s
other reporting requirements.
8. Both the evolution of natural gas
markets, and the Commission’s
experience in improving the usefulness
and accessibility of other informational
reports filed by natural gas pipelines
and public utilities, warrant a review of
the continued usefulness of the semiannual storage reports in their current

80760

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 246 / Thursday, December 23, 2010 / Proposed Rules

format. The semi-annual storage reports
are now the only significant report
required of regulated entities for which
the Commission has not established a
standardized electronic format and
required to be public. As a result, many
respondents file these reports subject to
requests for confidential treatment, and/
or file the data in a format that is not
conducive to automated data review and
posting on the Commission’s Web site
for public review. The Commission has
often had to rely on exhaustive data
requests in individual rate filings in
order to fulfill its oversight duty, a
method that is administratively
burdensome to the pipelines and the
Commission. Perhaps more importantly,
significant information in the reports is
either not available to the public at all
or, if available, is difficult to analyze
because of the different reporting
formats.
9. Further, improved storage
technology and the increased use of
natural gas in industry and electric
generation have helped transform the
storage market since 1992. There has
been a sharp increase in demand for
natural gas outside of the traditional
winter months. Withdrawals and
injections, instead of occurring on a
uniform annual schedule based on
heating needs, now occur dynamically
year-round in response to market forces.
10. Also, on rehearing of Order No.
735, several parties argued that, because
the new quarterly transportation reports
for section 311 and Hinshaw pipelines
will include storage transactions, Order
No. 735 has made the existing 18 CFR
284.126(c) semi-annual storage
reporting requirement for those
pipelines duplicative and therefore the
semi-annual storage report should be
eliminated. However, while there is
significant overlap between the two
reports, as described above the semiannual storage reports for section 311
and Hinshaw pipelines still require the
reporting of certain information not
included in the new quarterly
transportation report, including
volumes injected and withdrawn from
storage during each injection and
withdrawal season and per-customer
storage revenues. The 18 CFR 284.13(e)
semi-annual storage reports by interstate
pipelines are also the only place where
interstate pipelines report this
information.
11. Accordingly, the Commission
requests comment on the following
questions concerning the semi-annual
storage reports by both interstate
pipelines and by section 311 and
Hinshaw pipelines.
(1) Should the Commission require
that the semi-annual storage reports be

VerDate Mar<15>2010

16:52 Dec 22, 2010

Jkt 223001

public? In recent years, the Commission
has clarified that Form Nos. 2, 2a, 3Q,
552, and other similar reports must be
filed publicly with no provision for
redacting data. The EQR, which Order
No. 2001 requires to be public, contain
reporting requirements quite similar to
the semi-annual storage reports. In the
contemporaneous order on rehearing of
Order No. 735, the Commission affirmed
that the new quarterly transportation
reports by section 311 and Hinshaw
pipelines will be public as well. Is there
any reason why the natural gas storage
reports by interstate and intrastate
pipelines should not be made public?
(2) Should the natural gas storage
reporting requirements be standardized
into an electronic form with standard
fields and definitions?
(3) Storage injections and withdrawals
are no longer done exclusively on a
seasonal basis, but occur dynamically
year-round. Should any reporting on
storage be filed on a quarterly schedule,
instead of semi-annually by injection
and withdrawal season?
(4) If a standardized electronic form is
developed for storage reports by
interstate pipelines, what data elements
from the Data Dictionary for the new
quarterly transportation reports for
section 311 and Hinshaw pipelines
should be used in the revised interstate
pipeline storage reports? What
additional data elements should be
included?
(5) Should the Commission require
that interstate and section 311 and
Hinshaw pipelines must report the
different rate components in each
storage customer’s contracts separately?
What data elements should be included?
(6) In Order No. 735–A, the
Commission removed from the new
quarterly transportation report the
requirement that section 311 and
Hinshaw pipelines report revenues
received from each storage customer,
partly on the grounds that the semiannual storage reports require reporting
such information. Should this reporting
requirement be retained for interstate
and intrastate storage companies? Is the
revenue information primarily of use in
the rate cases of cost-based rate storage
providers, so that revenues need not be
reported by market-based storage
providers?
(7) Given the extensive overlap
between the new quarterly Form No.
549D reports 14 and the current
14 The information collection requirements
included in Commission Order No. 735 for Form
No. 549D were approved under OMB Control No.
1902–0253. The proposed revisions in the order on
rehearing in Docket No. RM09–2–001 are being
submitted to OMB for review and approval under
the Paperwork Reduction Act.

requirements of the intrastate semiannual storage reports, should the
intrastate storage reporting
requirements be folded into Form No.
549D, or kept as a separate form?
