FERC–546
(Certificated Rate Filings: Gas Pipeline
Rates; OMB Control Number 1902–
0155) is required to implement Sections
4, 5, 16 and 7(e) of the Natural Gas Act
(NGA) (15 U.S.C. 717–717w). NGA
Sections 4, 5 and 16 authorize the
Commission to inquire into rate
structures and methodologies and to set
rates at a just and reasonable level.
Section 7(e) authorizes the Commission
to set initial rates that are in keeping
with the public convenience and
necessity.
The Commission uses the FERC–546
information to examine service and
tariff provisions for the transportation
and storage, and/or sale of natural gas in
interstate commerce filed with the
Commission.
When a pipeline decides to construct
and operate a jurisdictional pipeline, it
files an application with the
Commission and receives a Certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity. As
part of its review, the Commission
considers and authorizes ‘‘initial rates’’
for transportation and/or storage service
for the pipeline. Initial rates are
established for new services authorized
in certificate proceedings and must meet
a public convenience and necessity
standard. Initial rates established in the
certificate proceeding remain in effect
until such rates are reviewed by the
Commission in a rate proceeding. The
information submitted by the pipeline
company to the Commission in these
applications for initial rates is the
subject of FERC–546.1
The Commission’s reporting
requirements for this information
collection are provided in 18 CFR 154.4,
154.7, 154.202, 154.204-.209, and
154.602-.603. Failure to collect this
information would prevent the
Commission from monitoring and
properly evaluating pipeline proposals
to add or modify services.
Action: The Commission is requesting
a three-year extension of the current
reporting requirements.
Burden Statement: Public reporting
burden for this collection is estimated
