comments on the proposed information 

collection requests as required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on or before 

December 5, 2006. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires 

that the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) provide interested 

Federal agencies and the public an early 

opportunity to comment on information 

collection requests. OMB may amend or 

waive the requirement for public 

consultation to the extent that public 

participation in the approval process 

would defeat the purpose of the 

information collection, violate State or 

Federal law, or substantially interfere 

with any agency’s ability to perform its 

statutory obligations. The IC Clearance 

Official, Regulatory Information 

Management Services, Office of 

Management, publishes that notice 

containing proposed information 

collection requests prior to submission 

of these requests to OMB. Each 

proposed information collection, 

grouped by office, contains the 

following: (1) Type of review requested, 

e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or 

reinstatement; (2) title; (3) summary of 

the collection; (4) description of the 

need for, and proposed use of, the 

information; (5) respondents and 

frequency of collection; and (6) 

Reporting and/or Recordkeeping 

burden. OMB invites public comment. 

The Department of Education is 

especially interested in public comment 

addressing the following issues: (1) Is 

this collection necessary to the proper 

functions of the Department; (2) will 

this information be processed and used 

in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate 

of burden accurate; (4) how might the 

Department enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (5) how might the 

Department minimize the burden of this 

collection on the respondents, including 

through the use of information 

technology.

being conducted to meet the continuing 

need for national-level data about

formulas for Pell Grants, maximum 

amounts for student loans and other 

need-based federal programs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Description 

The information collection submitted 

for OMB review contains the following: 

1. Collection of Information: FERC 

592 ‘‘Marketing Affiliates of Interstate 

Pipelines’’. 

2. Sponsor: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission. 

3. Control No.: 1902–0157. 

The Commission is now requesting 

that OMB approve and extend the 

expiration date for an additional three 

years with no changes to the existing 

collection. The information filed with 

the Commission is mandatory. 

4. Necessity of the Collection of 

Information: Submission of the 

information is necessary for the 

Commission to carry out its 

responsibilities in implementing the 

Statutory provisions of sections 4, 5, 7, 

8, 10, 14, 16, and 20 of the Natural Gas 

Act (NGA) 15 U.S.C. 717–717w and 

Title II, section 311 and sections 501 

and 504 of the Natural Gas Policy Act 

(Pub. L. 95–621). 

The FERC–592 requirements apply to 

‘‘Transmission Providers’’ who are 

defined as any interstate natural gas 

pipeline that transports gas for others, 

subject to the Natural Gas Act (i.e., 

pursuant to subpart A of part 157 or 

subparts B or G of part 284). See 18 CFR 

358.3(a)(1) and (2). A Transmission 

Provider does not include a natural gas 

storage provider authorized to charge 

market-based rates that is not 

interconnected with the jurisdictional 

facilities of any affiliated interstate 

natural gas pipeline, has no exclusive 

franchise area, no captive ratepayers or 

no market power, 18 CFR 358.3(a)(3). 

Initially, FERC–592 was adopted 

when the Commission issued the 

Standards of Conduct in Order No. 497, 

53 FR 22161, June 14, 1988. The 

Standards of Conduct prevent 

Transmission Providers from 

discriminating against non-affiliated 

shippers or from granting undue 

preferences to their marketing affiliates. 

In response to growing competition in 

the natural gas marketplace and to 

further ensure that it could monitor 

transactions for the exercise of market 

power, the Commission revised its 

reporting requirements in Order No. 

637, 65 FR 10219, on February 25, 2000. 

The Commission required pipelines to 

post more transmission information on 

their Internet websites to improve 

transparency of transmission 

information. 

With the revisions in Order No. 637, 

the Commission also eliminated many 

of the requirements of the original 

FERC–592s. First the Commission 

eliminated the requirement to submit
