SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FERC–576, Report of Service 

Interruptions. 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0004. 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–576 information collection 

requirements with no changes to the 

current reporting requirements. 

Abstract: A natural gas company must 

obtain Commission authorization to 

engage in the transportation, sale, or 

exchange of natural gas in interstate 

commerce under the Natural Gas Act 

(NGA).1 The NGA also empowers the 

Commission to oversee continuity of 

service in the transportation of natural 

gas in interstate commerce. The 

information collected under FERC–576 

notifies the Commission of: (1) Damage 

to jurisdictional natural gas facilities as 

a result of a hurricane, earthquake, or 

other natural disaster, or terrorist 

activity, (2) serious interruptions to 

service, and (3) damage to jurisdictional 

natural gas facilities due to natural 

disaster or terrorist activity, that creates 

the potential for serious delivery 

problems on the pipeline’s own system 

or the pipeline grid. 

Filings (in accordance with the 

provisions of section 4(d) of the NGA) 2

must contain information necessary to 

advise the Commission when a change 

in service has occurred. Section 7(d) of 

the NGA 3 authorizes the Commission to 

issue a temporary certificate in cases of 

emergency to assure maintenance of 

adequate service or to serve particular 

customers, without notice or hearing. 

Respondents to the FERC–576 are 

encouraged to submit the reports by 

email to pipeline.outage@ferc.gov but 

also have the option of faxing the 

reports to the Director of the Division of 

Pipeline Certificates. 18 CFR 260.9(b) 

requires that a report of service 

interruption or damage to natural gas 

facilities state: (1) The location of the 

service interruption or damage to 

natural gas pipeline or storage facilities; 

(2) The nature of any damage to pipeline 

or storage facilities; (3) Specific 

identification of the facilities damaged; 

(4) The time the service interruption or 

damage to the facilities occurred; (5) 

The customers affected by the service 

interruption or damage to the facilities; 

(6) Emergency actions taken to maintain 

service; and (7) Company contact and 

telephone number. The Commission 

may contact pipelines reporting damage 

or other pipelines to determine 

availability of supply, and if necessary, 

authorize transportation or construction
