SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–606, Notification of
Request for Federal Authorization and
Requests for Further Information;
FERC–607, Report on Decision or
Action on Request for Federal
Authorization.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0241.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of these information collection

the other.
Abstract: 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 can
neither 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:
