SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–552 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.

FERC–552, Annual Report of Natural
Gas Transactions
OMB Control No.: 1902–0242.
Abstract: The Commission uses the
information collected within the FERC–
552 to provide greater transparency
concerning the use of indices to price
natural gas and how well index prices
reflect market forces. The collection also
includes transactions that contribute to,
or may contribute to natural gas price
indices. Many market participants rely
on indices as a way to reference market
prices without taking on the risks of
active trading.
FERC–552 had its genesis in the
Energy Policy Act of 2005 1, which

added section 23 of the Natural Gas Act
(NGA). Section 23 of the NGA, among
other things, directs the Commission ‘‘to
facilitate price transparency in markets
for the sale or transportation of physical
natural gas in interstate commerce,
having due regard for the public
interest, the integrity of those markets,
and the protection of consumers.’’ 2
Type of Respondents: Wholesale
natural gas market participants
Estimate of Annual Burden: 3 The
Commission estimates the total Public
Reporting Burden for this information
collection as:

The total estimated annual cost

[6,660 hours ÷ 2,080 4 hours/year =
3.201923 * $149,489/year 5 = $478,652].
The estimated annual cost of filing the
FERC–552 per response is $719
[$478,652 ÷ 666 responses = $719/
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.
