SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC–552 information collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting requirements. FERC–552, Annual Report of Natural Gas Transactions OMB Control No.: 1902–0242. Abstract: The Commission uses the information collected within the FERC– 552 to provide greater transparency concerning the use of indices to price natural gas and how well index prices reflect market forces. The collection also includes transactions that contribute to, or may contribute to natural gas price indices. Many market participants rely on indices as a way to reference market prices without taking on the risks of active trading. FERC–552 had its genesis in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 1, which added section 23 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA). Section 23 of the NGA, among other things, directs the Commission ‘‘to facilitate price transparency in markets for the sale or transportation of physical natural gas in interstate commerce, having due regard for the public interest, the integrity of those markets, and the protection of consumers.’’ 2 Type of Respondents: Wholesale natural gas market participants Estimate of Annual Burden: 3 The Commission estimates the total Public Reporting Burden for this information collection as: FERC–552—ANNUAL REPORT OF NATURAL GAS TRANSACTIONS Number of respondents 6 Number of responses per respondent Total number of responses Average burden hours per response Estimated total annual burden (A) (B) (A) × (B) = (C) (D) (C) × (D) 666 1 666 10 6,660 Wholesale natural market participants ................................

The estimated annual cost of filing the FERC–552 per response is $719 [$478,652 ÷ 666 responses = $719/ response] Comments: 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.
