SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–604 (Cash Management
Agreements).
OMB Control No.: 1902–0267.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–604 with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: This collection of
information is authorized by the
following statutory provisions:
• Sections 8 and 10 of the Natural Gas
Act (15 U.S.C. 717g and 717i);
• Sections 301 and 304 of the Federal
Power Act (16 U.S.C. 835 and 825c); and
• Sections 20(1) and 20(5) of the
Interstate Commerce Act (49 App.
U.S.C. 20(1) and 20(5)).
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 FERCregulated 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

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 114 / Tuesday, June 14, 2022 / Notices
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

these and other fund transfers and the
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

35981

Commission implemented these
reporting requirements in 18 CFR
141.500, 260.400, and 357.5.
Type of Respondents: Public utilities,
natural gas companies, and oil pipeline
companies.
