SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–539 ‘‘Gas
Pipeline Certificates: Import/Export’’
(OMB No. 1902–0062) is used by the
Commission to implement the statutory
provisions of section 3 of the Natural
Gas Act (NGA), 15 U.S.C. 717–717w.
Section 3 requires prior authorization
before reporting or importing natural gas
from or to the United States. Section 3
authorizes the Commission to grant an
application, in whole or in part, with
modifications and upon terms and
conditions as the Commission may find
necessary or appropriate. The 1992
amendments to section 3 of the NGA
concern the importation or exportation
from/to a nation which has a free trade
agreement with the United States. With
the passage of both the North American
Free Trade Agreement and the Canadian
Free Trade Agreement, the construction,
operation and sitting of import or export
facilities are also the subject of the
Commission’s regulatory focus.
In Order No. 608, the Commission
created voluntary procedures whereby
prospective applicants could use a
collaborative process to resolve
significant issues prior to filing an
application. This collaborative process
allows applicants and interested parties
to come together and come to mutual
agreements that may help to defuse
some of the controversial issues which
may otherwise arise once an application
has been filed with the Commission.
The pre-filing consultation process
combines efforts to address NGA issues
with the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) review process into a single
pre-filing collaborative process that also
includes the administrative processes
associated with the Clean Water Act, the
National Historic Preservation Act, the
Endangered Species Act and other
relevant statutes. Combining the prefiling consultation and environmental
review into a single pre-filing process
simplifies and expedites the
authorization of gas facilities and
services.
The Commission uses the information
to determine the appropriateness of the
proposed facilities and their location.
The determination involves among
other things, an examination of
adequacy of design, cost, reliability,
redundancy and environmental
acceptability. This information is
necessary for the Commission to make
a determination that the facilities and
location are consistent with the public
interest. The Commission implements
these filings requirements in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR
part 153.
Action: The Commission is requesting
a three-year extension of the current
expiration date, with no changes to the
existing collection of data.
Burden Statement: Public reporting
burden for this collection is estimated
as:
Number of respondents annually
Number of responses per respondent
Average burden hours per response
Total annual burden hours
(1)
(2)
(3)
(1)×(2)×(3)

Estimated cost burden to respondents
is $150,624. (2886 hours/2080 hours per
year times $108,558 per year average per
employee = $ 150,624). The cost per
respondent is $12,552.
The reporting burden includes the
total time, effort, or financial resources
expended to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
including: (1) Reviewing instructions;
(2) developing, acquiring, installing, and
utilizing technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating,
verifying, processing, maintaining,
disclosing and providing information;
(3) adjusting the existing ways to
comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; (4)
training personnel to respond to a
collection of information; (5) searching
data sources; (6) completing and
reviewing the collection of information;
and (7) transmitting, or otherwise
disclosing the information.
The estimate of cost for respondents
is based upon salaries for professional
and clerical support, as well as direct
and indirect overhead costs. Direct costs
include all costs directly attributable to
providing this information, such as
administrative costs and the cost for
information technology. Indirect or
overhead costs are costs incurred by an
organization in support of its mission.

These costs apply to activities which
benefit the whole organization rather
than any one particular function or
activity.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether
the proposed 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 of
the proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology
e.g. permitting electronic submission of
responses.
