Executive Order 12866, we have
assessed the potential costs and benefits
of this regulatory action and have
determined that it is not ‘‘significant’’

unduly interfere with State, local, and
Tribal governments in the exercise of
their governmental functions.

State and local governments for
coordination and review of proposed
Federal financial assistance.

Transparency Provisions of Section 23
of the Natural Gas Act; Notice of the
Agenda for Form No. 552 Technical
Conference
March 15, 2010.
In a ‘‘Notice of Technical Conference’’
issued on February 22, 2010 in the
above-referenced proceeding, the
Commission stated that this conference,
to be held on March 25, 2010, will
address select issues identified by staff.
Those issues include: (1)
Inconsistencies in reporting upstream
transactions in the natural gas supply
chain on Form No. 552, and whether
these transactions contribute to
wholesale price formation; (2) whether
transactions involving balancing, cashout, operational, and in-kind
transactions should be reported on Form
No. 552; and (3) whether the units of
measurement (TBtu) currently used for
reporting volumes in the form are
appropriate. The Agenda for this
Technical Conference is attached to this
notice.
Specific questions to each panel are
on the attached Agenda. Each panelist
will be given the opportunity to provide

or might they contribute to the
formation of daily or monthly gas price

with these transactions material?
3. What effect, if any, will the
development of nontraditional gas
sources have on the reporting on
unprocessed gas?
4. Is the current reporting
measurement (TBtus) an appropriate
measurement? Would reporting volumes
in decatherms be more appropriate?

There are two ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this project. First, any person wishing to
obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceedings for this project
should, on or before the comment date
stated below, file with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426,
a motion to intervene in accordance
with the requirements of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)
and the Regulations under the NGA (18
CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list
maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies of
all documents filed by the applicant and
by all other parties. A party must submit
14 copies of filings made in the
proceeding with the Commission and
must mail a copy to the applicant and
to every other party. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of
Commission orders in the proceeding.
However, a person does not have to
intervene in order to have comments
considered. The second way to
participate is by filing with the
Secretary of the Commission, as soon as
possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition
to this project. The Commission will
consider these comments in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken, but the filing of a comment alone
will not serve to make the filer a party
to the proceeding. The Commission’s
rules require that persons filing
comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to
the party or parties directly involved in
the protest.
The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings of comments, protests
and interventions in lieu of paper using
the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at https://www.ferc.gov.
Persons unable to file electronically
should submit an original and 14 copies
of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC
20426.
