SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Description

The energy information collection

submitted to OMB for review contains:

1. Collection of Information: FERC–

567 ‘‘Annual Reports of System Flow

Diagrams and System Capacity.’’

2. Sponsor: Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission.

3. Control No.: OMB No. 1902–0005.

The Commission is now requesting that

OMB approve a three-year extension of

the current expiration date, with no

changes to the existing collection. There

is a change to the reporting burden as

a result of an increase in the number of

companies who submit reports to the

Commission. These are mandatory

collection requirements.

4. Necessity of Collection of

Information: Submission of the

information is necessary to enable the

Commission to carry out its

responsibilities in implementing the

provisions of the Natural gas Act (NGA)

(Pub. L. 75–688), and Titles III, IV, and

V of the Natural Gas Policy Act (PUb. L.

95–621). The information collected

under FERC–567 is used by the

Commission to obtain accurate data on

pipeline facilities and the peak day

capacity of these facilities. Specifically,

FERC–567 data is used in determining

the configuration and location of

installed pipeline facilities; evaluating

the need for proposed facilities to serve

market expansions; determining

pipeline interconnections and receipt

and delivery points; and developing the

evaluating alternatives to proposed

facilities as a means to mitigate

environmental impact of new pipeline

construction. FERC–567 also contains

valuable information that can be used to

assist federal officials in maintaining

adequate natural gas service in times of

national emergency. The Commission

implements these filing requirements in

the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)

under 18 CFR part 260.8 and 284.12.

Respondent Description: The

respondent universe currently

comprises on average, 91 respondents.

6. Estimated Burden: 12,724 total

burden hours, 91 respondents, 1

response annually, 81.58 hours per

response (average).

7. Estimated Cost Burden to

Respondents: 12,724 hours ÷ 2,080

hours per year × $109,889 per year =

$672,225, average cost per respondent =

$7,387.00.

Statutory Authority: Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 9,

10(a) and 16 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA)

(Pub. L. 75–688), and Title III, Sections

301(a)(1), 3030(a), 304(d) Title IV, Sections

401 and 402, and Title V, Section 508 of the
