SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

information collected under the 

requirements of FERC–574, ‘‘Gas 

Pipeline Certificates: Hinshaw 

Exemption’’ (OMB No. 1902–0116), is 

used by the Commission to implement 

the statutory provisions of Sections 1(c), 

4 and 7 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) 

(Pub. L. 75–688) (15 U.S.C. 717–717w). 

Natural gas pipeline companies file 

applications with the Commission 

furnishing information in order for a 

determination to be made as to whether 

the applicant qualifies for an exemption 

under the provisions of the Natural Gas 

Act (Section 1(c)). If the exemption is 

granted, 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 or sale for 

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. The data required to be 

filed by pipeline companies for an 

exemption are specified by Title 18 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 

152. 

Action: The Commission is requesting 

a three-year extension of the FERC–574 

reporting requirements, with no 

changes. 

Burden Statement: The estimated 

annual public reporting burden for 

FERC–574 is reduced from the estimate 

made three years ago due to the results 

of an analysis of recent filings showing 

that 60 hours per response is a more 

accurate estimate for the average burden 

hours per response than the 245 hours 

used in the 2007 estimate.

The total estimated annual cost 

burden to respondents is $3,977 (60 

hours/2,080 hours 1 per year, times 

$137,874 2). 

The reporting burden includes the 

total time, effort, or financial resources 

expended to generate, maintain, retain, 

disclose, or provide the information 

including: (1) Reviewing instructions; 

(2) developing, acquiring, installing, and 

utilizing technology and systems for the 

purposes of collecting, validating, 

verifying, processing, maintaining, 

disclosing and providing information; 

(3) adjusting the existing ways to 

comply with any previously applicable 

instructions and requirements; (4) 

training personnel to respond to a 

collection of information; (5) searching 

data sources; (6) completing and 

reviewing the collection of information; 

and (7) transmitting, or otherwise 

disclosing the information. 

The estimate of cost for respondents 

is based upon salaries for professional 

and clerical support, as well as direct 

and indirect overhead costs. Direct costs 

include all costs directly attributable to 

providing this information, such as 

administrative costs and the cost for 

information technology. Indirect or 

overhead costs are costs incurred by an 

organization in support of its mission. 

These costs apply to activities which 

benefit the whole organization rather 

than any one particular function or 

activity. 

Comments are invited on: (1) Whether 

the proposed 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 estimates of the burden of 

the proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, including 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g. permitting electronic submission of 

responses.
