15570 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 43 / Monday, March 4, 2024 / Notices 

1The Department of Transportation defines 

‘‘incident’’ at 49 CFR 191.3. The regulatory 

thresholds for an ‘‘incident report’’ include (1) A 

death, or personal injury necessitating in-patient 

hospitalization; (2) Estimated property damage of 

$122,000 or more; (3) Unintentional estimated gas 

loss of three million cubic feet or more; (4) 

Emergency shutdown of a facility; or (5) An event 

that is significant in the judgment of the operator. 

2See 18 CFR 260.9(d) and 260.9(e). 

3The Commission staff estimates that the average 

respondent for FERC–576 is similarly situated to 

the Commission, in terms of salary plus benefits. 

Based on FERC’s current annual average of 

$207,786 (for salary plus benefits), the average 

hourly cost is $100/hour. 

4Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or 

financial resources expended by persons to 

generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide 

information to or for a Federal agency. For further 

explanation of what is included in the information 

collections burden, reference 5 Code of Federal 

Regulations 1320.3. 

Certificates via email or fax as soon as 

feasibly possible, must 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 information provided by 

these notifications are kept by the 

Commission and are not made part of 

the public record. 

In addition, if the Department of 

Transportation requires an incident 

report 1 under the Natural Gas Pipeline 

Safety Act (49 U.S.C. 60101 through 

60143), a copy of such report shall be 

submitted to the Director of the 

Commission’s Division of Pipeline 

Certificates, within 30 days of the 

reportable incident. Natural gas 

companies must also send a copy of 

submitted incident reports to each state 

commission for the state(s) in which the 

reported service interruption occurred.2

If the Commission did not collect this 

information, it would lose a data point 

that assists in the monitoring of 

transactions, operations, and reliability 

of interstate pipelines. 

Type of Respondents: Natural gas 

companies experiencing service 

interruptions or damage to facilities. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: The 

Commission estimates the average 

annual burden and cost 3 for this 

information collection as follows.

Comments: Comments are invited on: 

(1) whether the collections of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance 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 4 and cost of the 

collections of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility and clarity of the 

information collections; and (4) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collections 

of information on those who are to 

respond, including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology.
