Description
The information collection submitted
for OMB review contains the following:
1. Collection of Information: FERC
Form 2 ‘‘Annual Report for Major
Natural Gas Companies’’.
2. Sponsor: Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission.
3. Control No.: 1902–0028.
The Commission is now requesting
that OMB approve and extend the
expiration date for an additional three
years with no changes to the existing
collection. The information filed with
the Commission is mandatory.
4. Necessity of the Collection of
Information: Submission of the
information is necessary for the
Commission to carry out its
responsibilities in implementing the
statutory provisions of the Natural Gas
Act (NGA) 15 U.S.C. 717. The FERC
Form 2 is a financial and operating
report for natural gas rate regulation for
major pipeline owners. ‘‘Major’’ is
defined as companies having combined
gas sold for resale and gas transported
or stored for a fee that exceeds 50
million Dth in each of the three
previous calendar years. Under the
Form 2, the Commission investigates,
collects and records data and prescribes
rules and regulations concerning
accounts, records and memoranda as
necessary to administer the NGA. The
Commission is empowered to prescribe
a system of accounts for jurisdictional
gas pipelines and after notice and
opportunity for hearing, may determine
the accounts in which particular outlays
the receipts will be entered, charged or
credited.
The Commission’s staff uses the data
in the continuous review of the
financial condition of jurisdictional
companies, in various rate proceedings
and in the Commission’s audit program.
FERC Form 2 data are also used to
compute annual charges which are
necessary to recover the Commission’s
annual costs. The annual charges are
required by section 3401 of the
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
1986.
The NGA mandates the collection of
information needed by the Commission
to perform its regulatory responsibilities
in the setting of just and reasonable
rates. The Commission could be held in
VerDate Aug<31>2005

violation of the NGA if the information
was not collected.
The annual financial information filed
with the Commission is a mandatory
requirement submitted in a prescribed
format which is filed electronically. The
Commission implements these filing
requirements in 18 CFR parts 158, 201,
260.1 and 385.2011.
5. Respondent Description: The
respondent universe currently
comprises 71 companies (on average)
subject to the Commission’s
jurisdiction.
6. Estimated Burden: 111,470 total
hours, 71 respondents (average), 1
response per respondent, and 1,570
hours per response (average).
7. Estimated Cost Burden to
respondents: 111,470 hours/2080 hours
per years × $122,137 per year =
$6,545,486. The cost per respondent is
equal to $92,190.
Statutory Authority: Statutory provisions
of sections 205(a) and (e) of the Federal
Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 824d.
