OMB Control No.: 1902–0004.
Type of Request: Three-year extension

Abstract: A natural gas company must
obtain Commission authorization to
engage in the transportation, sale, or
exchange of natural gas in interstate
commerce under the Natural Gas Act
(NGA).1 The NGA also empowers the
Commission to oversee continuity of
service in the transportation of natural
gas in interstate commerce. The
information collected under FERC–576
notifies the Commission of: (1) Damage
to jurisdictional natural gas facilities as
a result of a hurricane, earthquake, or
other natural disaster, or terrorist
activity, (2) serious interruptions to
service, and (3) damage to jurisdictional
natural gas facilities due to natural
disaster or terrorist activity, that creates
the potential for serious delivery
problems on the pipeline’s own system
or the pipeline grid.
Filings (in accordance with the
provisions of section 4(d) of the NGA) 2
must contain information necessary to
advise the Commission when a change
in service has occurred. Section 7(d) of
the NGA 3 authorizes the Commission to
issue a temporary certificate in cases of
emergency to assure maintenance of
adequate service or to serve particular
customers, without notice or hearing.
Respondents to the FERC–576 may
submit the initial reports by email to
[email protected]. 18 CFR
260.9(b) requires that a report of service
interruption or damage to natural gas
facilities state: (1) The location of the
service interruption or damage to
natural gas pipeline or storage facilities;
(2) The nature of any damage to pipeline
or storage facilities; (3) Specific

identification of the facilities damaged;
(4) The time the service interruption or
damage to the facilities occurred; (5)
The customers affected by the service
interruption or damage to the facilities;
(6) Emergency actions taken to maintain
service; and (7) Company contact and
telephone number. The Commission
may contact other pipelines to
determine available supply, and if
necessary, authorize transportation or
construction of facilities to alleviate the
problem in response to these reports.
A report required by 18 CFR
260.9(a)(1)(i) of damage to natural gas

facilities resulting in loss of pipeline
throughput of storage deliverability
shall be reported to the Director of the
Commission’s Division of Pipeline
Certificates at the earliest feasible time
when pipeline throughput or storage
deliverability has been restored.
In any instance in which an incident
or damage report involving
jurisdictional natural gas facilities is
required by Department of
Transportation (DOT) reporting
requirements under the Natural Gas
Pipeline Safety Act of 1968, a copy of
such report shall be submitted to the

Director of the Commission’s Division of
Pipeline Certificates, within 30 days of
the reportable incident.4
If the Commission failed to collect
these data, it would lose the ability to
monitor and evaluate transactions,
operations, and reliability of interstate
pipelines and perform its regulatory
functions.
Type of Respondents: Pipeline and
storage company operators.
