The data collected allows the Commission to monitor the refunds owed by the natural gas companies and to ensure the passage of the refunds, with applicable interest, to the appropriate natural gas customers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The information collected under the
requirements of FERC-547, ``Gas Pipeline Rates: Refund Report
Requirements'' (OMB No. 1902-0084) is used by the Commission to
implement the statutory refund provisions governed by sections 4, 5 and
16 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (15 U.S.C. 717-717w). Sections 4 and 5
authorize the Commission to order a refund, with interest, on any
portion of a natural gas company's increased rate or charge that is
found to be not just or reasonable. Refunds may also be instituted by a
natural gas company as a stipulation to a Commission-approved
settlement agreement or provision under the company's tariff. Section
16 authorizes the Commission to prescribe the rules and regulations
necessary to administer its refund mandates. The Commission's refund

refunds, with applicable interest, to the appropriate natural gas
customers.
Action: The Commission is requesting a three-year extension of the
current expiration date, with no changes to the existing collection of
data.

respondent per response) (1) x (2) x
(2) (3) (3)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Estimated cost to respondents: 4,500 hours/2,080 per year x
$122,137 = $264,238. The cost per respondent = $4,404 (rounded off).
The reporting burden includes the total time, effort, or financial
resources to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the
information including: (1) Reviewing instructions; (2) developing,
acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the
purpose of collecting, validating, verifying, processing, maintaining,

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.
