In compliance with the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–567, Gas Pipeline
Certificates: Annual Reports of System
Flow Diagrams and System Capacity.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0005.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–567 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
reporting requirements.
Abstract: The Commission uses the
information from the FERC–567 to
obtain accurate data on pipeline
facilities and the peak capacity of these
facilities. Additionally, the Commission
validates the need for new facilities
proposed by pipelines in certificate
applications. By modeling a applicant’s
pipeline system, Commission staff
utilizes the FERC–567 data to determine
configuration and location of installed
pipeline facilities; verify and determine
the receipt and delivery points between
shippers, producers and pipeline
companies; determine the location of
receipt and delivery points and
emergency interconnections on a
pipeline system; determine the location
of pipeline segments, laterals and
compressor stations on a pipeline
system; verify pipeline segment lengths
and pipeline diameters; justify the
maximum allowable operating pressures
and suction and discharge pressures at
compressor stations; verify the installed
horsepower and volumes compressed at
each compressor station; determine the
existing shippers and producers
currently using each pipeline company;
verify peak capacity on the system; and
develop and evaluate alternatives to the
proposed facilities as a means to
mitigate environmental impact of new
pipeline construction.
18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
260.8(a) requires each major natural gas
pipeline with a system delivery capacity

exceeding 100,000 Mcf per day to
submit by June 1 of each year, diagrams
reflecting operating conditions on the
pipeline’s main transmission system
during the previous 12 months ended
December 31. These physical/
engineering data are not included as

part of any other data collection
requirement.
Type of Respondents: Applicants
proposing hydropower projects on (or
changes to existing projects located
within) lands owned by the United
States.

Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The
Commission proposed an erroneous
burden estimate on the 60-day notice 2
for this information collection. The
Commission estimates the corrected
total Public Reporting Burden for this

pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

The Commission revised the
erroneous figures (presented within the
60-day notice for this information
collection 2) based on an improved
internal analysis. We were remiss in our
previous analysis that resulted in the
underestimated burden calculation.
The total estimated annual cost
burden to respondents is $ [5,665 hours
÷ 2,080 3 hours/year = 2.72355 *
$143,540/year 4 = $390,938.37]
The estimated annual cost of filing the
FERC–567 per response is $3,795.52
[$390,938.37 ÷ 103 responses =
$3,795.52/response].
Comments: Comments are invited on:
(1) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden and cost of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information collection;
and (4) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
