298 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 2 / Tuesday, January 5, 2021 / Notices 

1The Commission defines burden as the total 

time, effort, or financial resources expended by 

persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or 

provide information to or for a Federal agency. For 

further explanation of what is included in the 

information collection burden, reference 5 CFR 

1320.3. 

2The current average cost for one FERC full-time 

equivalent ($83.00 per hour for wages plus benefits) 

is used as a proxy for industry’s hourly cost. 

storage facilities under reasonably 

representative operating assumptions 

and the respective assignments of that 

capacity to the various firm services 

provided by the pipeline. 

This annual report is publicly 

available, while other more specific 

interstate pipeline and storage capacity 

details are filed as Critical Energy 

Infrastructure Information, such as the 

Annual System Flow Diagram (FERC– 

567), which is not publicly available. 

Index of Customers Under 284.13(c) 

In Order 581, issued September 28, 

1995 (Docket No. RM95–4–000), the 

Commission established the IOC 

quarterly information requirement. This 

order required the reporting of five data 

elements in the IOC filing: The customer 

name, the rate schedule under which 

service is rendered, the contract 

effective date, the contract termination 

date, and the maximum daily contract 

quantity, for either transportation or 

storage service, as appropriate. 

In a notice issued separately from 

Order 581 in Docket No. RM95–4–000, 

issued February 29, 1996, the 

Commission, through technical 

conferences with industry, determined 

that the IOC data reported should be in 

tab delimited format on diskette and in 

a format prescribed in Appendix A of 

the rulemaking. In a departure from past 

practice, a three-digit code, instead of a 

six-digit code, was established to 

identify the respondent. 

In Order 637, issued February 9, 2000 

(Docket Nos. RM98–10–000 and RM98– 

12–000), the Commission required the 

filing of: The receipt and delivery points 

held under contract and the zones or 

segments in which the capacity is held, 

the common transaction point codes, 

the contract number, the shipper 

identification number, an indication of 

whether the contract includes 

negotiated rates, the names of any 

agents or asset managers that control 

capacity in a pipeline rate zone, and any 

affiliate relationship between the 

pipeline and the holder of capacity. It 

was stated in the order that the changes 

to the Commission’s reporting 

requirements would enhance the 

reliability of information about capacity 

availability and price that shippers need 

to make informed decisions in a 

competitive market as well as improve 

shippers’ and the Commission’s ability 

to monitor marketplace behavior to 

detect and remedy anti-competitive 

behavior. Order 637 required a pipeline 

to post the IOC data quarterly on its 

website instead of on the outdated 

EBBs. 

Types of Respondents: Interstate 

pipelines subject to FERC regulation 

under the Natural Gas Act, and those 

entities defined as Hinshaw Pipelines 

under the Natural Gas Policy Act. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: The 

Commission estimates the annual public 

reporting burden 1 for the information 

collection as shown in the following

Comments: Comments are invited on: 

(1) Whether the collection of 

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; 

(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility 

and clarity of the information collection; 

and (4) ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE 

CORPORATION 

RIN 3064–ZA22 

Notice of Inflation Adjustments for 

Civil Money Penalties 

AGENCY: Federal Deposit Insurance 

Corporation. 

ACTION: Notice of Monetary Penalties 

2021. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Deposit 

Insurance Corporation is providing 

notice of its maximum civil money 

penalties as adjusted for inflation. 

DATES: The adjusted maximum amounts 

of civil money penalties in this notice 

are applicable to penalties assessed after 

January 15, 2021, for conduct occurring 

on or after November 2, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Graham N. Rehrig, Senior Attorney, 

Legal Division, (202) 898–3829, 

grehrig@fdic.gov; Federal Deposit 

Insurance Corporation, 550 17th Street 

NW, Washington, DC 20429. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces changes to the 

maximum amount of each civil money 

penalty (CMP) within the Federal 

Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (FDIC) 

jurisdiction to administer to account for 

inflation under the Federal Civil 

Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 

1990 (1990 Adjustment Act),1 as 

amended by the Federal Civil Penalties 

Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements 

Act of 2015 (2015 Adjustment Act).2

Under the 1990 Adjustment Act, as 

amended, federal agencies must make 

annual adjustments to the maximum 

amount of each CMP the agency 

administers. The Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) is required to issue 

guidance to federal agencies no later 

than December 15 of each year 

providing an inflation-adjustment 

multiplier (i.e., the inflation-adjustment 

factor agencies must use) applicable to 

CMPs assessed in the following year. 

Agencies are required to publish their 

CMPs, adjusted under the multiplier 

provided by the OMB, by January 15 of 

the applicable year. Agencies, like the 

FDIC, that have codified the statutory 

formula for making the CMP 

adjustments may make annual inflation 

adjustments by providing notice in the 

Federal Register.3

On December 23, 2020, the OMB 

issued guidance to affected agencies on 

implementing the required annual 

adjustment, which guidance included 

the relevant inflation multiplier.4 The 

FDIC has applied that multiplier to the 

maximum CMPs allowable in 2020 for 

FDIC-supervised institutions to 

calculate the maximum amount of CMPs 

that may be assessed by the FDIC in 

2021.5 There were no new statutory 

CMPs administered by the FDIC during 

2020. 

The following charts provide the 

inflation-adjusted maximum CMP 

amounts for use after January 15, 2021— 

the effective date of the 2021 annual 

adjustments—under 12 CFR part 308, 

for conduct occurring on or after 

November 2, 2015:
