Federal agencies and the public an early 

opportunity to comment on information 

collection requests. OMB may amend or 

waive the requirement for public

statutory obligations. The IC Clearance

Management, publishes that notice

the collection; (4) Description of the 

need for, and proposed use of, the 

information; (5) Respondents and 

frequency of collection; and (6)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description 

The information collection submitted 

for OMB review contains the following: 

1. Collection of Information: FERC 

Form 2 ‘‘Annual Report for Major 

Natural Gas Companies’’. 

2. Sponsor: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission. 

3. Control No.: 1902–0028. 

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 the Natural Gas 

Act (NGA) 15 U.S.C. 717. The FERC 

Form 2 is a financial and operating 

report for natural gas rate regulation for 

major pipeline owners. ‘‘Major’’ is 

defined as companies having combined 

gas sold for resale and gas transported 

or stored for a fee that exceeds 50 

million Dth in each of the three 

previous calendar years. Under the 

Form 2, the Commission investigates, 

collects and records data and prescribes 

rules and regulations concerning 

accounts, records and memoranda as 

necessary to administer the NGA. The 

Commission is empowered to prescribe 

a system of accounts for jurisdictional 

gas pipelines and after notice and 

opportunity for hearing, may determine 

the accounts in which particular outlays 

the receipts will be entered, charged or 

credited. 

The Commission’s staff uses the data 

in the continuous review of the 

financial condition of jurisdictional 

companies, in various rate proceedings 

and in the Commission’s audit program. 

FERC Form 2 data are also used to 

compute annual charges which are 

necessary to recover the Commission’s 

annual costs. The annual charges are 

required by section 3401 of the 

Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 

1986. 

The NGA mandates the collection of 

information needed by the Commission 

to perform its regulatory responsibilities 

in the setting of just and reasonable 

rates. The Commission could be held in 

violation of the NGA if the information 

was not collected. 

The annual financial information filed 

with the Commission is a mandatory 

requirement submitted in a prescribed 

format which is filed electronically. The 

Commission implements these filing 

requirements in 18 CFR parts 158, 201, 

260.1 and 385.2011. 

5. Respondent Description: The 

respondent universe currently 

comprises 71 companies (on average) 

subject to the Commission’s 

jurisdiction. 

6. Estimated Burden: 111,470 total 

hours, 71 respondents (average), 1 

response per respondent, and 1,570 

hours per response (average). 

7. Estimated Cost Burden to 

respondents: 111,470 hours/2080 hours 

per years × $122,137 per year = 

$6,545,486. The cost per respondent is 

equal to $92,190. 

Statutory Authority: Statutory provisions 

of sections 205(a) and (e) of the Federal 

Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 824d. 

Philis J. Posey, 

Acting Secretary.
