The
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–542 ‘‘Gas
Pipeline Rates: Rate Tracking’’ (OMB
No. 1902–0070) is used by the
Commission to implement the statutory
provisions of Title IV of the Natural Gas
Policy Act (NGPA), 15 U.S.C. 3301–
3432, and Sections 4, 5 and 16 of the
Natural Gas Act (NGA) (Pub. L.) 75–688)
(15 U.S.C. 717–717w). These statutes
empower the Commission to collect
natural gas transmission cost
information from interstate natural gas
transporters for the purpose of verifying
that these costs, which are passed on to
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
pipeline customers, are just and
reasonable.
Interstate natural gas pipeline
companies are required by the
Commission to track their transportation
associated costs to allow for the
Commission’s review and where
appropriate, approval of the passthrough of these costs to pipeline
customers. Most of these FERC–542
tracking filings are monthly accountings
of the cost of fuel or electric power
necessary to operate compressor
stations. Others track the costs of (1) Gas
Research Institutes fees; (2) annual
charges of various types, and (3) other
types of rate adjustments.
Tracking filings may be submitted at
any time or on a regularly scheduled
basis in accordance with the pipeline

Estimated cost burden to respondents
is $780,972. (13,300 hours/2080 hours
per year times $122,137 per year average
per employee = $780,972). The cost per
respondent is $8,221. There is a
significant increase in the number of
respondents and number of filings per
respondent since the last renewal
request because in the last two years
each pipeline has had to file for a
change in annual charges whereas
previously they did not. However, the
annual charge filings are shorter than
most other tracking filings which has
resulted in a reduction in the burden
hours per response.
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.

Secretary.
