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
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)
annual charges of various types and (2)
other types of rate adjustments.
Tracking filings may be submitted at
any time or on a regularly scheduled
basis in accordance with the pipeline
company’s tariff. Filings may be either:
(1) Accepted; (2) suspended and set for
hearing; (3) suspended, but not set for
hearing; or (4) suspended for further
review, such as technical conference or
another type of Commission action.
The Commission implements these
filing requirements in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR
part 154, §§ 154.4, 154.7, 154.101,
154.201, 154.207–.209, 154.307 and

responses per respondent, and 40 hours
per response (rounded off and average
time).
7. Estimated Cost Burden to
Respondents: 13,300 hours/2080 hours
per year × $122,137 per year = $
780,972. The cost per respondent is
equal to $8,221.
Statutory Authority: Statutory provisions
of sections 4, 5 and 16 of the Natural Gas Act
(NGA) (15 U.S.C. 717–717w).
