SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Standards of Conduct for 

Transmission Provider and Marketing 

Affiliates of Interstate Pipelines. 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0157. 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–592 information collection 

requirements with no changes to the 

current reporting requirements. 

Abstract: The Commission uses the 

information maintained and posted by 

the respondents to monitor the 

pipeline’s transportation, sales, and 

storage activities for its marketing 

affiliate to deter undue discrimination 

by pipeline companies in favor of their 

marketing affiliates. Non-affiliated 

shippers and other entities (e.g., state 

commissions) also use the information 

to determine whether they have been 

harmed by affiliate preference and to 

prepare evidence for proceedings 

following the filing of a complaint. 

18 CFR Part 358 (Standards of Conduct) 

Respondents maintain and provide 

the information required by 18 CFR part 

358 on their internet websites. When the 

Commission requires a pipeline to post 

information on its website following a 

disclosure of non-public information to 

its marketing affiliate, non-affiliated 

shippers obtain comparable access to 

the non-public transportation 

information, which allows them to 

compete with marketing affiliates on a 

more equal basis. 

18 CFR 250.16, and the FERC–592 Log/ 

Format 

This form (log/format) provides the 

electronic formats for maintaining 

information on discounted 

transportation transactions and capacity 

allocation to support monitoring of 

activities of interstate pipeline 

marketing affiliates. Commission staff 

considers discounts given to shippers in 

litigated rate cases. 

Without this information collection: 

• the Commission would be unable to 

effectively monitor whether pipelines 

are giving discriminatory preference to 

their marketing affiliates; and 

• non-affiliated shippers and state 

commissions and others would be 

unable to determine if they have been 

harmed by affiliate preference or 

prepare evidence for proceedings 

following the filing of a complaint. 

Type of Respondents: Natural gas 

pipelines. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The 

Commission estimates the annual 

reporting burden and cost for the 

information collection as shown in the

Comments are invited on: (1) whether 

the collection 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 and 

cost of the collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information collection; and 

(4) ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.
