OMB Control No.: 1902–0116.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–574 with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: On November 26, 2019 (84
FR 65148), the Commission published a
Notice in the Federal Register in Docket
No. IC20–3–000 requesting public
comments. The Commission received no
comments and is noting that in the
related submittal to OMB. On December
19, 2019, OMB granted the Commission
an emergency extension for FERC–574,
from December 31, 2019 to March 31,
2020.
The Commission uses the information
collected under the requirements of
FERC–574 to implement the statutory
provisions of Sections 1(c), 4, and 7 of
the Natural Gas Act (NGA). Natural gas
pipeline companies file applications
with the Commission furnishing
information in order to facilitate a
determination of an applicant’s
qualification for an exemption under the
provisions of the section 1(c). If the
Commission grants an exemption, the
natural gas pipeline company is not
required to file certificate applications,
rate schedules, or any other applications
or forms prescribed by the Commission.
The exemption applies to companies
engaged in the transportation, sale, or
resale of natural gas in interstate
commerce if: (a) They receive gas at or
within the boundaries of the state from
another person at or within the
boundaries of that state; (b) such gas is
ultimately consumed in such state; (c)
the rates, service and facilities of such
company are subject to regulation by a
State Commission; and (d) that such
State Commission is exercising that
jurisdiction. 18 CFR part 152 specifies
the data required to be filed by pipeline
companies for an exemption.
Type of Respondents: Pipeline
companies.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden and cost 2 for the
information collection as:

574 are approximately the same as the
Commission’s average cost. The FERC 2019 average
salary plus benefits for one FERC full-time
equivalent (FTE) is $167,091/year (or $80.00/hour).
