SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Reporting of Flow Volume and
Capacity by Interstate Natural Gas
Pipelines.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0243.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–551 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
reporting requirements.
Abstract: Interstate pipelines are
required to post on their Web sites the
volumes of no-notice service flows 1 at
each receipt and delivery point before
11:30 a.m. central clock time three days
after the day of gas flow.
FERC implemented Order Nos. 720
and 720–A to comply with the Energy
Policy Act of 2005 (‘‘EPAct 2005’’) and
specifically Section 23 of EPAct 2005,
which amended the NGA to direct FERC
to ‘‘facilitate price transparency in
markets for the sale or transportation of
physical natural gas in interstate
commerce.’’ On October 24, 2011, the
United States Court of Appeals for the
Fifth Circuit issued a decision granting
the Texas Pipeline Association and the
Railroad Commission’s petition for
review and vacating FERC’s Order Nos.
720 and 720–A. In its order, the 5th
Circuit held that Order Nos. 720 and
720–A exceeded the scope of FERC’
authority under the Natural Gas Act of
1938 and FERC could not require
intrastate natural gas pipelines to post
the information. However, the court’s
decision did not disrupt the reporting
and posting obligations of interstate
natural gas pipelines.2
Type of Respondents: Interstate
Natural Gas Pipelines.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 3 The
Commission estimates the total Public
Reporting Burden for this information
collection as:

The total estimated annual cost
burden to respondents is $1,040,038
[18,483 hours * $56.27/hour 5 =
$1,040,038]

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;

1 See 18 CFR 284.7(a)(4) (requiring pipelines to
provide no-notice service).
2 Order Granting Motion to Clarify Opinion,
Texas Pipelines Ass’n v. FERC, 661 F.3d 258 (Dec.
20. 2011).
3 Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide

information to or for a Federal agency. For further
explanation of what is included in the information
collection burden, reference 5 Code of Federal
Regulations 1320.3.
4 In the prior notice regarding this collection,
FERC used 183 burden hours per response, and the
assumption of one response per year. In this notice
we show the burden to a more detailed level,

indicating that there is one response per day per
respondent. We use 366 days as this keeps the total
burden hour figure consistent with the prior notice.
5 This figure includes wages plus benefits and
comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics
Management Analyst category (13–1111) (http://
bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm and http://
