SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FERC–537: Gas Pipeline 

Certificates: Construction, Acquisition, 

and Abandonment. 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0060. 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–537 information collection 

requirements with no changes to the 

reporting requirements. 

Abstract: The FERC–537 information 

collection is in place for the 

Commission to carry out its 

responsibilities under section 7 of the 

Natural Gas Act (NGA). Section 7 of the 

NGA 1 requires natural gas companies to 

obtain Commission approval before 

constructing, extending, or abandoning 

facilities or service. The Commission 

reviews and analyses the information 

filed under the FERC–537 to determine 

whether to approve or deny the 

requested authorization. After reviewing 

the supplied information, the 

Commission may grant a request to 

construct or extend pipeline facilities or 

service by issuing a certificate of public 

convenience and necessity. If the 

Commission failed to collect these data, 

it would lose its ability to review 

relevant information to determine 

whether the requested certificate should 

be authorized. 

The Commission implements section 

7 of the NGA under regulations at 18 

CFR part 157. 

The data generally required to be 

submitted in a certificate filing consists 

of identification of the company and 

responsible officials, factors considered 

in the location of the facilities, and the 

impact on the area for environmental 

considerations. As applicable to the 

specific request, applicants may 

provide: 

• Flow diagrams showing the design 

capacity for engineering design 

verification and safety determination; 

• Cost of proposed facilities, plans for 

financing, and estimated revenues and 

expenses related to the proposed facility 

for accounting and financial evaluation; 

or 

• Existing and proposed storage 

capacity and pressures and reservoir 

engineering studies for requests to 

increase storage capacity. 

Applications for an order authorizing 

abandonment of facilities or service 

must contain a statement providing in 

detail the reasons for the requested 

abandonment and must contain exhibits 

listed at 18 CFR 157.18, as well as an 

affidavit showing the consent of existing 

customers. With some exceptions, such 

applications also must include an 

environmental report. 

Applicants filing in accordance with 

18 CFR part 157, subpart A (either for 

a certificate or for abandonment) 

generally must make a good-faith effort 

to provide notice of the application to 

all affected landowners, towns, 

communities, and government agencies. 

Certain self-implementing 

construction and abandonment 

programs do not require the filing of 

applications. However, those types of 

programs do require the filing of annual 

reports, so many less significant actions 

can be reported in a single filing/ 

response and less detail would be 

required. Additionally, requests for an 

increase of pipeline capacity must 

include a statement that demonstrates 

compliance with the Commission’s 

Certificate Policy Statement by making 

a showing that the cost of the expansion 

will not be subsidized by existing 

customers and that there will not be 

adverse economic impacts to existing 

customers, competing pipelines or their 

customers, nor to landowners and to 

surrounding communities. 

Type of Respondents: Jurisdictional 

natural gas companies.

3Changes to estimated number of respondents 

were based on average number of respondents over 

the past three years. 

4The estimates for cost per response are derived 

using the following formula: Average Burden Hours 

per Response * $100.00/hour = Average cost/ 

response. The figure is the 2024 FERC average 

hourly cost (for wages and benefits) of 100.00 (and 

an average annual salary of $207,786/year). 

Commission staff is using the FERC average salary 

because we consider any reporting requirements 

completed in response to the FERC–537 to be 

compensated at rates similar to the work of FERC 

employees. 

5Each of the figures in this column are rounded 

to the nearest dollar. 

6A Certificate Abandonment Application would 

require waiver of the Commission’s capacity release 

regulations in 18 CFR 284.8; therefore this activity 

is associated with Interstate Certificate and 

Abandonment Applications.

Cross-Media Electronic Reporting: 

Electronic Submission of Reports, 

Notifications, and Other Submission 

Types 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

Environmental Protection Agency’s 

(EPA) allowance of the electronic 

submission of reports, notifications, or 

other required submission types (in an 

acceptable digital format) in certain 

Clean Air Act (CAA) regulations that do 

not already have electronic reporting 

requirements (i.e., reports, notifications, 

or other submission types required to be 

submitted in paper format or as 

specified in this notice, an email). This 

action is consistent with the provisions 

of the Cross-Media Electronic Reporting 

Rule (CROMERR) and streamlines 

reporting requirements by allowing 

regulated entities to submit specified 

reports, notifications, or other 

submission types electronically via the 

Compliance and Emissions Data 

Reporting Interface (CEDRI) on the 

EPA’s Central Data Exchange (CDX) (see 

https://cdx.epa.gov), or to another EPA 

managed electronic document receiving 

system that may be designated for the 

receipt of specified submissions in the 

future. Additionally, performance test 

reports that do not already have 

CROMERR compliant electronic 

reporting requirements may utilize the 

Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) (see 

https://www.epa.gov/electronicreporting-air-emissions/electronicreporting-tool-ert) to submit those 

reports to CEDRI in the form of an ERT 

submission package. The authority for 

the designation of alternative EPA 

electronic document receiving systems 

may not be redelegated to state, local, or 

tribal authorities. When a report, 

notification, or other submission type 

submitted under this new electronic 

submission option contains confidential 

business information (CBI), a file with 

the CBI omitted or redacted must be 

submitted to the CEDRI system and a 

separate, complete submission 

containing the claimed CBI information 

must be submitted through the 

described CBI submission process. 

DATES: The allowance to electronically 

submit reports and notifications to 

CEDRI is effective September 25, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Electronic Submission of Reports, 

Notifications, and Other Submission 

Types, and CROMERR Compliance 

On October 13, 2005, the final 

CROMERR program was published in 

the Federal Register (70 FR 59748) and 

codified as part 3 of title 40 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (CFR). 

CROMERR establishes electronic 

reporting as an acceptable regulatory 

alternative to paper reporting and 

establishes requirements to assure that 

electronic documents are as legally 

dependable as their paper counterparts. 

In accordance with 40 CFR 3.2(a), this 

notice announces that the EPA is 

prepared to receive, in electronic form, 

40 CFR parts 59, 60, 61, 62, and 63 

reports, notifications, or other 

submission types that do not already 

have electronic reporting requirements 

(i.e., paper reports, notifications, or 

other submission types), and emailed 

submissions that are associated with 40
