The information collected under the requirements of FERC–547, ‘‘Gas Pipeline Rates: Refund Report Requirements’’ (OMB No. 1902–0084), is used by the Commission to implement the statutory refund provisions governed by sections 4, 5 and 16 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA).1 Sections 4 and 5 authorize the Commission to order a refund, with interest, for any portion of a natural gas company’s increased rate or charge found to be unjust or unreasonable. Refunds may also be instituted by a natural gas company as a stipulation to a Commission-approved settlement agreement or a provision under the company’s tariff. Section 16 of the NGA authorizes the Commission to prescribe rules and regulations necessary to administer its refund mandates. The Commission’s refund SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: reporting requirements are found in 18 CFR 154.501 and 154.502. The Commission uses the data to monitor refunds owed by natural gas companies to ensure that the flowthrough of refunds owed by these companies are made as expeditiously as possible and to assure that refunds are made in compliance with the Commission’s regulations. Action: The Commission is requesting a three-year extension of the FERC–547 reporting requirements, with no changes. Burden Statement: The estimated annual public reporting burden for FERC–547 is reduced from the estimate made three years ago due to a reduction in the average number of filings received annually, from 60 in 2007, to 30 presently.

The total estimated annual cost burden to respondents is $149,143 (2,250 hours/2,080 hours 2 per year, times $137,874 3). The reporting burden includes the total time, effort, or financial resources expended to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the information including: (1) Reviewing instructions; (2) developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, verifying, processing, maintaining, disclosing, and providing information; (3) adjusting the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; (4) training personnel to respond to a collection of information; (5) searching data sources; (6) completing and reviewing the collection of information; and (7) transmitting or otherwise disclosing the information. The estimate of cost for respondents is based upon salaries for professional and clerical support, as well as direct and indirect overhead costs. Direct costs include all costs directly attributable to providing this information, such as administrative costs and the cost for information technology. Indirect or overhead costs are costs incurred by an organization in support of its mission. U.S.C. 717–717w. number of hours an employee works each year. 3 Estimated average annual cost per employee. These costs apply to activities which benefit the whole organization rather than any one particular function or activity.

Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: EPA charges user fees for administering its vehicle and engine certification programs. In 2004 the fees were extended to include certification applications for recently regulated categories of off-road vehicles and engines. In 2008 the fees program was further expanded to include fees for certification of evaporative system components (primarily fuel lines and fuel tanks). Manufacturers and importers of covered vehicles, engines, and components are required to pay the applicable certification fee prior to their certification applications being reviewed. This involves submitting payments along with a filing form identifying the family to be covered by the fee. There are also correction and refund forms. This ICR estimates the paperwork burden of submitting these fees and associated forms. This information collection covers the entire certification fees program, both on-road and off-road. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.31 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the E:\FR\FM\16JNN1.SGM 16JNN1
