SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (Pub. L. 75–688) (15 U.S.C. 717–717w), a natural gas company must obtain Commission authorization to engage in the transportation, sale or exchange of PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 6273 natural gas in interstate commerce. The Commission is also empowered to oversee continuity of service in the transportation of natural gas in interstate commerce. The information collected under FERC–576 (Report of Service Interruptions; OMB Clearance No. 1902–0004) notifies the Commission of: (1) Damage to jurisdictional natural gas facilities as a result of a hurricane, earthquake, or other natural disaster, or terrorist activity, (2) serious interruptions to service, and (3) damage to jurisdictional natural gas facilities due to natural disaster or terrorist activity, that creates the potential for serious delivery problems on the pipeline’s own system or the pipeline grid. Filings in accordance with the provisions of section 4(d) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (15 U.S.C. 717c) are to contain information necessary to advise the Commission when a change in service has occurred. Under section 7(d) of the NGA (15 U.S.C. 717f), the Commission may issue a temporary certificate in cases of emergency to assure maintenance of adequate service or to serve particular customers, without notice or hearing. The FERC–576 initial reports are submitted by e-mail to pipelineoutage@ferc.gov or by facsimile transmission. 18 CFR 260.9(b) requires that a report of service interruption or damage to natural gas facilities state: (1) The location of the service interruption or damage to natural gas pipeline or storage facilities; (2) The nature of any damage to pipeline or storage facilities; (3) Specific identification of the facilities damaged; (4) The time the service interruption or damage to the facilities occurred; (5) The customers affected by the service interruption or damage to the facilities; (6) Emergency actions taken to maintain service; and (7) Company contact and telephone number. (In response to these reports, the Commission may contact other pipelines to determine available supply, and if necessary, authorize transportation or construction of facilities to alleviate the problem.) The company also reports to the Commission when pipeline throughput or storage deliverability has been restored. Failure by the Commission to collect this information would mean that it is unable to monitor and evaluate transactions, operations, and reliability of interstate pipelines and perform its regulatory functions. In coordination with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), FERC has reviewed the reporting requirements. FERC and DOT have E:\FR\FM\06FEN1.SGM 06FEN1
