FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ellen Brown may be reached by telephone at (202) 502–8663, by fax at (202) 273–0873, and by e-mail at ellen.brown@ferc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FERC–592 (‘‘Marketing Affiliates of Interstate Pipelines, Standards of Conduct for Transmission Providers,’’ OMB No. PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 1902–0157) includes the reporting, recordkeeping, and posting requirements in: ■ 18 CFR Part 358 (Standards of Conduct),1 ■ 18 CFR 250.16, and ■ FERC Form No. 592 log/format, that is posted at https://www.ferc.gov/ docs-filing/eforms.asp#592. Hereafter, this Notice will refer to this group of collections of information as ‘‘FERC–592.’’ Under Section 4 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), the Commission has the regulatory responsibility to ensure that pipeline rates are just and reasonable. In order to ensure just and reasonable rates and services, the Commission must achieve two objectives: prevent undue discrimination in natural gas markets, and promote competitive and efficient markets while mitigating market power. In short, the Commission’s regulatory policy must seek to reconcile the objectives of fostering an efficient market that provides good alternatives to as many shippers as possible, while at the same time creating a regulatory framework that is fair and protects captive customers without good alternatives. The ‘‘FERC–592’’ information (that is posted on the Web site, maintained, or provided by the respondents, as required) is used by the Commission to monitor the pipeline’s transportation, sales, and storage activities for its marketing affiliate, and to deter undue discrimination by pipeline companies in favor of their affiliates. The information is also used by nonaffiliated shippers, customers, and others (such as state commissions) to determine whether they have been harmed by affiliate preference and, in some cases, to prepare evidence for proceedings following the filing of a complaint or that address NGA section 4 rate cases. Action: The Commission is requesting a three-year extension of the current reporting requirements, with no change. Burden Statement: The estimated annual public reporting burden follows. 1 The requirements in 18 CFR Part 358 (that are related to the natural gas industry) are included in OMB No. 1902–0157 and this Notice. However, the requirements in Part 358 that are related to the electric utility industry are covered by FERC–717 (OMB Control No. 1902–0173) and are not a subject of this Notice.
