Abstract: The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) requests the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) review the proposed changes to 3-Q (electric and gas) as part of the NOPR RM26-12-000. The Commission conducted a comprehensive review of the information collected in the quarterly financial forms and proposes to delete a total of 20 schedules from FERC Form No. 3-Q across both Electric (17 schedules) and Gas (3 schedules). In this NOPR, the Commission seeks comment on whether the data reported on the indicated schedules is helpful to the public and, if so, how this data is used. The Commission also seeks comment on whether there may be a better way for the public to access the data in these 20 schedules, rather than through the quarterly financial forms. In accordance with sections 304(a) and 309 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) and sections 10(a) and 16 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), FERC is authorized to collect and record data to the extent it considers necessary, and to prescribe rules and regulations concerning accounts, records, and memoranda. Under the existing regulations, FERC jurisdictional entities subject to its Uniform System of Accounts (USofA) must annually file a complete set of financial statements with the Commission, along with other selected financial and non-financial data through the submission of FERC Form Nos. 1 and 1-F and must file this information quarterly through the submission of FERC Form No. 3-Q.
