requirements of Section 3506(c)(2)(a) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(Pub. L. 104–13), the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission) is 

soliciting public comment on the 

specific aspects of the information 

collection described below. 

DATES: Comments on the collection of 

information are due by May 11, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed

the Executive Director, ED–34, 888 First

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

information collected under the 

requirements of FERC–547, ‘‘Gas 

Pipeline Rates: Refund Report 

Requirements’’ (OMB No. 1902–0084) is 

used by the Commission to implement 

the statutory refund provisions 

governed by sections 4, 5 and 16 of the 

Natural Gas Act (NGA) (15 U.S.C. 717–

717w). Sections 4 and 5 authorize the 

Commission to order a refund, with 

interest, on any portion of a natural gas 

company’s increased rate or charge that 

is found to be not just or reasonable. 

Refunds may also be instituted by a 

natural gas company as a stipulation to 

a Commission-approved settlement 

agreement or provision under the 

company’s tariff. Section 16 authorizes 

the Commission to prescribe the rules 

and regulations necessary to administer 

its refund mandates. The Commission’s 

refund and reporting requirements are 

set forth in 18 CFR 154.501 and 154.502. 

The data collected allows the 

Commission to monitor the refunds 

owed by the natural gas companies and 

to ensure the passage of the refunds, 

with applicable interest, to the 

appropriate natural gas customers. 

Action: The Commission is requesting 

a three-year extension of the current 

expiration date, with no changes to the 

existing collection of data. 

Burden Statement: Public reporting 

burden for this information collection is 

estimated as: 

No. of respondents annually 

(1) 

No. of responses per 

respondent 

(2) 

Average burden (No. of 

hours per response) 

(3) 

Total annual 

burden (total 

No. of hours) 

(1) × (2) × (3) 

60 ................................................................................................................................................. 1 75 4,500 

Estimated cost to respondents: 4,500 

hours/2,080 per year × $122,137 = 

$264,238. The cost per respondent = 

$4,404 (rounded off). The reporting 

burden includes the total time, effort, or 

financial resources to generate, 

maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the 

information including: (1) Reviewing 

instructions; (2) developing, acquiring, 

installing, and utilizing technology and 

systems for the purpose 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 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 44 / Wednesday, March 7, 2007 / Notices 10193 

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 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.
