SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Notice of Inquiry 

December 16, 2010. 

1. In this Notice of Inquiry, the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 

(Commission) seeks comments on 

whether the Commission should modify 

the semi-annual storage reports required 

of interstate and intrastate natural gas 

companies pursuant to 18 CFR 284.13(e) 

and 284.126(c) of the Commission’s 

regulations.1 In particular, the 

Commission is interested in exploring 

whether it should modify the 

information currently collected in the 

semi-annual storage reports, whether 

there should be a standardized 

electronic format for the reports, and 

whether the storage reports must be 

public. 

I. Background 

2. Section 284.13(e) of the 

Commission’s regulations requires 

interstate pipelines to file semi-annual 

storage reports at the end of each 

complete storage injection and 

withdrawal season. Section 284.126(c) 

requires similar reports by (1) intrastate 

natural gas pipelines providing 

interstate transportation service 

pursuant to section 311 of the Natural 

Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA) 2 and (2) 

Hinshaw pipelines providing interstate 

service subject to the Commission’s 

Natural Gas Act (NGA) section 1(c) 

jurisdiction pursuant to blanket 

certificates issued under 18 CFR 

284.224.3 The reports by both sets of 

pipelines must include: 

(1) The identity of each customer injecting 

gas into storage and/or withdrawing gas from 

storage (including, for interstate pipelines, 

any affiliate relationship), 

(2) the rate schedule (for interstate 

pipelines) or docket number (for intrastate 

pipelines) authorizing the storage injection or 

withdrawal service, 

(3) the maximum storage quantity and 

maximum daily withdrawal quantity 

applicable to each storage customer, 

(4) for each storage customer, the volume 

of gas (in dekatherms) injected into and/or 

withdrawn from storage during the period, 

(5) the unit charge and total revenues 

received during the injection/withdrawal 

period from each storage customer 

(including, for interstate pipelines, any 

discounts), and 

(6) for intrastate pipelines, any related 

docket numbers under which the intrastate 

pipeline reported storage related injection/ 

withdrawal transportation services. 

The pipelines must file these reports 

within 30 days of the end of each 

complete storage injection and 

withdrawal season, and the reports must 

be signed under oath by a senior official. 

The Commission has not adopted any 

standardized electronic form for 

pipelines to submit the semi-annual 

storage reports. Nor has the Commission 

expressly required that the reports be 

public. 

3. The Commission adopted the 

existing semi-annual storage reporting 

requirements for both interstate and 

intrastate pipelines in their current form 

in 1992 as part of Order No. 636,4 and 

there have been only minor 

modifications in the semi-annual 

storage reporting requirements since

5 In 1995 in Order No. 581, the Commission held 

that it would ‘‘retain the semi-annual storage 

reports,’’ and ‘‘not exempt intrastate storage 

companies charging market-based rates from the 

requirement to file semi-annual storage reports,’’ 

and made minor changes to the regulatory text.

that date.5 In Order No. 637,6 the 

Commission revised the reporting 

requirements for interstate pipelines in 

order to require them to post on their 

internet Web sites basic information on 

the terms of each transportation and 

storage contract with individual 

shippers, no later than the first 

nomination under a transaction.7 These 

posting requirements are set forth in 

section 284.13(b) of the Commission’s 

regulations.8 However, Order No. 637 

did not modify the semi-annual storage 

reporting requirement for either 

interstate pipelines or section 311 and 

Hinshaw pipelines. 

4. In recent years, the Commission has 

updated almost all of its other reporting 

requirements to clarify their public 

status, standardize the filing format, and 

streamline the process of publishing the 

reported data to the general public. For 

example, in Order No. 2001,9 the 

Commission amended its filing 

requirements for public utilities under 

the Federal Power Act (FPA) to require 

them to file Electric Quarterly Reports 

(EQR) summarizing the contractual 

terms and conditions in their contracts 

for all jurisdictional services during the 

most recent calendar quarter. The EQRs 

include information similar to that 

required by the semi-annual storage 

reports, including the quantities of 

service provided and the rates charged 

for all sales under the reported 

contracts. Order No. 2001 required that 

the EQRs be filed in a standardized 

electronic format and that they be 

public.10 In Order No. 710,11 the 

Commission revised the Commission’s 

financial reporting requirements for 

natural gas pipelines, FERC Form Nos. 

2, 2–A, and 3–Q, also adopting 

standardized electronic forms for the 

filing of these reports and requiring 

them to be public. Similarly, new forms, 

such as Form No. 552 issued pursuant 

to the transparency provisions of section 

23 of the Natural Gas Act, have likewise 

emphasized standardization and 

transparency.12

5. Most relevant to this proceeding, on 

May 20, 2010, the Commission issued 

Order No. 735 to bring the less stringent 

transactional reporting requirements for 

NGPA section 311 intrastate pipelines 

and Hinshaw pipelines closer in line 

with the 18 CFR 284.13(b) posting 

requirements for interstate pipelines.13

As part of that proceeding, the 

Commission revised the former annual 

transportation report at 18 CFR 

284.126(b) to cover storage as well. 

Order No. 735 requires that section 311 

and Hinshaw pipelines file quarterly 

reports in a standardized electronic 

format, and requires that those reports 

be public. As revised in a 

contemporaneous order on rehearing, 

the new quarterly reports must contain 

the following information on each 

transportation and storage transaction, 

aggregated by contract: 

i. The full legal name, and identification 

number, of the shipper receiving the service, 

including whether there is an affiliate 

relationship between the pipeline and the 

shipper; 

ii. The type of service performed (i.e., firm 

or interruptible transportation, storage, or 

other service); 

iii. The rate charged under each contract, 

specifying the rate schedule/name of service 

and docket where the rates were approved. 

The report should separately state each rate 

component set forth in the contract (i.e., 

reservation, usage, and any other charges); 

iv. The primary receipt and delivery points 

covered by the contract, identified by the list 

of points that the pipeline has published 

with the Commission, which shall include 

the industry common code for each point 

where one has already been established; 

v. The quantity of natural gas the shipper 

is entitled to transport, store, or deliver under 

each contract; 

vi. The duration of the contract, specifying 

the beginning and (for firm contracts only) 

ending month and year of the current 

agreement; 

vii. Total volumes transported, stored, 

injected, or withdrawn for the shipper; and 

viii. Annual revenues received for each 

shipper, excluding revenues from storage 

services. The report should separately state 

revenues received under each component, 

and need only be reported every fourth 

quarter. 

6. Order No. 735 did not modify the 

existing semi-annual storage reporting 

requirement for section 311 and 

Hinshaw pipelines in section 284.126(c) 

of the Commission’s regulations in any 

way. That semi-annual storage report 

collects certain information that the new 

quarterly reports do not. This includes 

(1) the volumes actually injected and 

withdrawn from storage during the 

injection and withdrawal seasons and 

(2) revenues collected from each 

customer. Moreover, because the semiannual reporting periods are tied to the 

injection and withdrawal season, the 

time periods covered by each report do 

not correspond precisely. Similarly, the 

18 CFR 284.13(b) posting requirements 

for interstate pipelines do not collect 

this information. 

II. Discussion 

7. The Commission is issuing this 

Notice of Inquiry to consider whether 

and how the semi-annual storage reports 

required of both interstate and intrastate 

pipelines should be modified in light of 

(1) changes in the natural gas market 

since the Commission originally 

adopted the semi-annual storage 

reporting requirements and (2) recent 

improvements in the Commission’s 

other reporting requirements. 

8. Both the evolution of natural gas 

markets, and the Commission’s 

experience in improving the usefulness 

and accessibility of other informational 

reports filed by natural gas pipelines 

and public utilities, warrant a review of 

the continued usefulness of the semiannual storage reports in their current 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with PROPOSALS
80760 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 246 / Thursday, December 23, 2010 / Proposed Rules 

14The information collection requirements 

included in Commission Order No. 735 for Form 

No. 549D were approved under OMB Control No. 

1902–0253. The proposed revisions in the order on 

rehearing in Docket No. RM09–2–001 are being 

submitted to OMB for review and approval under 

the Paperwork Reduction Act. 

format. The semi-annual storage reports 

are now the only significant report 

required of regulated entities for which 

the Commission has not established a 

standardized electronic format and 

required to be public. As a result, many 

respondents file these reports subject to 

requests for confidential treatment, and/ 

or file the data in a format that is not 

conducive to automated data review and 

posting on the Commission’s Web site 

for public review. The Commission has 

often had to rely on exhaustive data 

requests in individual rate filings in 

order to fulfill its oversight duty, a 

method that is administratively 

burdensome to the pipelines and the 

Commission. Perhaps more importantly, 

significant information in the reports is 

either not available to the public at all 

or, if available, is difficult to analyze 

because of the different reporting 

formats. 

9. Further, improved storage 

technology and the increased use of 

natural gas in industry and electric 

generation have helped transform the 

storage market since 1992. There has 

been a sharp increase in demand for 

natural gas outside of the traditional 

winter months. Withdrawals and 

injections, instead of occurring on a 

uniform annual schedule based on 

heating needs, now occur dynamically 

year-round in response to market forces. 

10. Also, on rehearing of Order No. 

735, several parties argued that, because 

the new quarterly transportation reports 

for section 311 and Hinshaw pipelines 

will include storage transactions, Order 

No. 735 has made the existing 18 CFR 

284.126(c) semi-annual storage 

reporting requirement for those 

pipelines duplicative and therefore the 

semi-annual storage report should be 

eliminated. However, while there is 

significant overlap between the two 

reports, as described above the semiannual storage reports for section 311 

and Hinshaw pipelines still require the 

reporting of certain information not 

included in the new quarterly 

transportation report, including 

volumes injected and withdrawn from 

storage during each injection and 

withdrawal season and per-customer 

storage revenues. The 18 CFR 284.13(e) 

semi-annual storage reports by interstate 

pipelines are also the only place where 

interstate pipelines report this 

information. 

11. Accordingly, the Commission 

requests comment on the following 

questions concerning the semi-annual 

storage reports by both interstate 

pipelines and by section 311 and 

Hinshaw pipelines. 

(1) Should the Commission require 

that the semi-annual storage reports be 

public? In recent years, the Commission 

has clarified that Form Nos. 2, 2a, 3Q, 

552, and other similar reports must be 

filed publicly with no provision for 

redacting data. The EQR, which Order 

No. 2001 requires to be public, contain 

reporting requirements quite similar to 

the semi-annual storage reports. In the 

contemporaneous order on rehearing of 

Order No. 735, the Commission affirmed 

that the new quarterly transportation 

reports by section 311 and Hinshaw 

pipelines will be public as well. Is there 

any reason why the natural gas storage 

reports by interstate and intrastate 

pipelines should not be made public? 

(2) Should the natural gas storage 

reporting requirements be standardized 

into an electronic form with standard 

fields and definitions? 

(3) Storage injections and withdrawals 

are no longer done exclusively on a 

seasonal basis, but occur dynamically 

year-round. Should any reporting on 

storage be filed on a quarterly schedule, 

instead of semi-annually by injection 

and withdrawal season? 

(4) If a standardized electronic form is 

developed for storage reports by 

interstate pipelines, what data elements 

from the Data Dictionary for the new 

quarterly transportation reports for 

section 311 and Hinshaw pipelines 

should be used in the revised interstate 

pipeline storage reports? What 

additional data elements should be 

included? 

(5) Should the Commission require 

that interstate and section 311 and 

Hinshaw pipelines must report the 

different rate components in each 

storage customer’s contracts separately? 

What data elements should be included? 

(6) In Order No. 735–A, the 

Commission removed from the new 

quarterly transportation report the 

requirement that section 311 and 

Hinshaw pipelines report revenues 

received from each storage customer, 

partly on the grounds that the semiannual storage reports require reporting 

such information. Should this reporting 

requirement be retained for interstate 

and intrastate storage companies? Is the 

revenue information primarily of use in 

the rate cases of cost-based rate storage 

providers, so that revenues need not be 

reported by market-based storage 

providers? 

(7) Given the extensive overlap 

between the new quarterly Form No. 

549D reports 14 and the current 

requirements of the intrastate semiannual storage reports, should the 

intrastate storage reporting 

requirements be folded into Form No. 

549D, or kept as a separate form? 

III. Comment Procedures

recommends that you include your
