Public Utilities, Licensees and Others’’

2. Sponsor: Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

3. Control No.: OMB No. 1902–0029.

The Commission is now requesting that

OMB approve a three-year extension of

may prescribe a system of accounts for

jurisdictional companies, and after

notice and hearing, may determine the

accounts in which particular outlays

and receipts will be entered, charged or

credited. The FERC Form 1–F is

designed to collect financial information

from privately owned electric utilities

and licensees who have generation,

transmission, distribution and sales of

electric energy, however produced

throughout the United States and its

possessions, subject to the

Commission’s jurisdiction.

5. Respondent Description: The

respondent universe currently

comprises on average, 7 companies

subject to the Commission’s

jurisdiction.

6. Estimated Burden: 224 total burden

hours, 7 respondents, 1 response

annually, 32 hours per response

(average).

7. Estimated Cost Burden to

Respondents: 224 hours ÷ 2,088 hours

per year × $109,889 per year = $11,789,

average cost per respondent = $1,684.

Statutory Authority: Sections 4, 301, 304

of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C.

797a–825.

ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of

Proposed Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

June 2, 1998.

Take notice that on May 29, 1998,

ANR Pipeline Company (ANR) tendered

for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff,

Second Revised Volume No. 1, the

following tariff sheets proposed to

become effective June 1, 1998:

Thirty-Second Revised Sheet No. 8

Thirty-Second Revised Sheet No. 9

Thirty-First Revised Sheet No. 13

Thirty-Seventh Revised Sheet No. 18

ANR states that the above-referenced

tariff sheets are being filed to implement

recovery of approximately $2.8 million

of above-market costs that are associated

with its obligations to Dakota

Gasification Company (Dakota). ANR

proposes a reservation surcharge

applicable to its Part 284 firm

transportation customers to collect

ninety percent (90%) of the Dakota

costs, and an adjustment to the

maximum base tariff rates of Rate

Schedule ITS and overrun rates

applicable to Rate Schedule FTS–2, so

as to recover the remaining ten percent

(10%). ANR advises that this filing also

includes the annual restatement of the

Eligible MDQ used to design the

reservation surcharge. ANR also advises

that the proposed changes would

decrease current quarterly AboveMarket Dakota Cost recoveries from $3.2

million to $2.8 million.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest this filing should file a motion

to intervene or a protest with the
