SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–576, Report of Service
Interruptions.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0004.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–576 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
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 are
encouraged to submit the reports by
email to [email protected] but
also have the option of faxing the
reports to the Director of the Division of
Pipeline Certificates. 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 pipelines reporting damage
or other pipelines to determine
availability of supply, and if necessary,
authorize transportation or construction
of facilities to alleviate constraints 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 or 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. These reports are kept by the
Commission Staff as non-public
information and are not made part of the
public record.
Type of Respondents: Natural gas
companies.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 5 The
Commission estimates the average
annual burden and cost 6 for this
information collection as follows.

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;

the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

This is a supplemental notice in the
above-referenced proceeding Flanders

accompanying rate tariff, noting that
such application includes a request for
blanket authorization, under 18 CFR
part 34, of future issuances of securities
and assumptions of liability.
Any person desiring to intervene or to

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426,
in accordance with Rules 211 and 214
of the Commission’s Rules of Practice
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and
385.214). Anyone filing a motion to
intervene or protest must serve a copy
of that document on the Applicant.

Notice is hereby given that the
deadline for filing protests with regard
to the applicant’s request for blanket
authorization, under 18 CFR part 34, of
future issuances of securities and
assumptions of liability, is October 22,
2018.
The Commission encourages
electronic submission of protests and
interventions in lieu of paper, using the
FERC Online links at http://
www.ferc.gov. To facilitate electronic
service, persons with internet access
who will eFile a document and/or be
listed as a contact for an intervenor

eRegistration account using the
eRegistration link. Select the eFiling
link to log on and submit the
intervention or protests.
Persons unable to file electronically

naics2_22.htm) and benefits information (for
December 2017, issued March 20, 2018, at https://
www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.nr0.htm).
Commission staff estimates that 20% of the work is
performed by a manager, and 80% is performed by
legal staff members. The hourly costs for wages plus
benefits are: $94.28 for management services (code
11–0000), and $143.68 for legal services (code 23–
0000). Therefore, the weighted hourly cost (for

wages plus benefits) is $133.80 [or (0.80 * $143.68)
+ (0.20 * $94.28)].
7 In the 60-day Notice published July 23, 2018,
the figures in this column for ‘‘Submittal of Original
Email/Fax’’ and ‘‘Submittal of Damage Report’’
inadvertently showed ‘‘cost per response’’ rather
than ‘‘cost per respondent.’’ Those figures are
corrected in this notice to show ‘‘cost per
respondent.’’
