18 CFR 385.2013 directs the agency or official to forward that initial assessment of federal authorizations (e.g. permits, special use authorizations, certifications, concurrences, or other approvals) to the Commission. If in the course of processing a federal authorization request, an agency or official finds additional information from the applicant is needed, 18 CFR 385.2013 directs the agency or official to forward to the Commission a copy of any data request sent to the applicant. With respect to 18 CFR 385.2014, the Commission assumes that in considering a request for a federal authorization for natural gas projects, agencies compile and title the documents and materials they rely upon in reaching a decision. The Commission does not require a specific format for the index of documents and materials that is to be submitted to FERC. An agency's in-house recordkeeping may be presented as an index, as long as it functions as a table of contents to the documents and materials. FERC-606 requires agencies and officials responsible for issuing, conditioning, or denying requests for federal authorizations necessary for a proposed natural gas project to report to the Commission regarding the status of an authorization request. This reporting requirement is intended to allow agencies to assist the Commission to make better informed decisions in establishing due dates for agencies' decisions. FERC-607 requires agencies or officials to submit to the Commission a copy of a decision or action on a request for federal authorization and an accompanying index to the documents and materials relied on in reaching a conclusion. The information collections cannot be discontinued nor collected less frequently because of statutory requirements. The consequences of not collecting this information are that the Commission would be unable to fulfill its statutory mandate under the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to: • Establish a schedule for agencies to review requests for federal authorizations required for a project, and • Compile a record of each agency's decision, together with the record of the Commission's decision, to serve as a consolidated record for the purpose of appeal or review, including judicial review.
