Title: FERC–576, Report of Service

OMB Control No.: 1902–0004. 

Type of Request: Three-year extension

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 may 

submit the initial reports by email to 

pipelineoutage@ferc.gov. 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
