information collection requirements.
Any interested person may file
comments directly with OMB and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the information collection
requirements for all collections
described below with no changes to the
current reporting requirements. Please
note that each collection is distinct from
the next.
Comments: Comments are invited on:
(1) Whether the collections of
information are 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
estimates of the burden and cost of the
collections of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility and clarity of the
information collections; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collections
of information on those who are to
respond, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
FERC–604, Cash Management
Agreements
OMB Control No.: 1902–0267.
Abstract: Cash management or
‘‘money pool’’ programs typically
concentrate affiliates’ cash assets in
joint accounts for the purpose of
providing financial flexibility and
lowering the cost of borrowing.
In a 2001 investigation, FERC staff
found that balances in cash management
programs affecting FERC-regulated
entities totaled approximately $16
billion. Additionally, other
investigations revealed large transfers of
funds (amounting to more than $1
billion) between regulated pipeline
affiliates and non-regulated parents
whose financial conditions were
precarious. The Commission found that
these and other fund transfers and the

E:\FR\FM\24OCN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 205 / Monday, October 24, 2016 / Notices
enormous (mostly unregulated) pools of
money in cash management programs
could detrimentally affect regulated
rates.
To protect customers and promote
transparency, the Commission issued
Order 634–A (2003) requiring entities to
formalize in writing and file with the
Commission their cash management
agreements. At that time, the

Commission obtained OMB clearance
for this new reporting requirement
under the FERC–555 information
collection (OMB Control No. 1902–
0098). Now, the Commission includes
these reporting requirements for cash
management agreements under the
FERC–604 information collection (OMB
Control No. 1902–0267). The
Commission implemented these

73093

reporting requirements in 18 CFR parts
141.500, 260.400, and 357.5.
Type of Respondent: Public utilities,
natural gas companies, and oil pipeline
companies.
Estimate of Annual Burden: The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden for the information
collection as:

FERC–923, Communication of
Operational Information Between
Natural Gas Pipelines and Electric
Transmission Operators
OMB Control No.: 1902–0265.
Abstract: In 2013, the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) revised its regulations to
provide explicit authority to interstate
natural gas pipelines and public utilities
that own, operate, or control facilities
used for the transmission of electric
energy in interstate commerce to
voluntarily share non-public,
operational information with each other

25

for the purpose of promoting reliable
service and operational planning on
either the pipeline’s or public utility’s
system. This helps ensure the reliability
of natural gas pipeline and public utility
transmission service by permitting
transmission operators to share the
information with each other that they
deem necessary to promote the
reliability and integrity of their systems.
FERC removed actual or perceived
prohibitions to the information sharing
and communications between industry
entities. The communications of
information are not and will not be

$111.75

submitted to FERC. Rather, the nonpublic information is shared voluntarily
between industry entities. FERC does
not prescribe the content, medium,
format, or frequency for the information
sharing and communications. Those
decisions are made by the industry
entities, depending on their needs and
the situation.
Type of Respondent: Natural gas
pipelines and public utilities.
Estimate of Annual Burden: The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden for the information
collection as:

for the Docket Center is 202–566–1744.
For additional information about EPA’s
public docket, visit: http://
www.epa.gov/dockets.
Abstract: Owners and operators of
affected facilities are required to comply
with reporting and record keeping
requirements for the NESHAP General
Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A),
as well as for the specific requirements
at 40 CFR part 63, subpart DDDD. This
includes submitting initial notifications,
performance tests and periodic reports
and results, and maintaining records of
the occurrence and duration of any
startup, shutdown, or malfunction in
the operation of an affected facility, or
any period during which the monitoring
system is inoperative. These reports are
used by EPA to determine compliance
with the standards.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Plywood and composite wood products
(PCWP) facilities.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart
DDDD).
Estimated number of respondents:
228 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially,
occasionally, and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 11,900 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $1,250,000 (per
year), which includes $16,000 in either
annualized capital/startup or operation
& maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
adjustment increase in the total
estimated labor hours as currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This increase is not

PO 00000

Frm 00039

due to any program changes. The
change in the labor burden and cost
estimates occurred because of a change
in assumption. This ICR assumes all
existing respondents will have to
familiarize with the regulatory
requirements each year. In addition,
there is a small increase in O&M cost
due to rounding of total cost figure to
three significant figures.
