ACTION: Notice of information collection
and request for comments.
AGENCY:
In compliance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A), the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission or
FERC) is soliciting public comment on
the currently approved information
collection, Standards of Conduct for
Transmission Provider; and Marketing
Affiliates of Interstate Pipelines.
DATES: Comments on the collection of
information are due January 28, 2013.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title:
FERC–592, Standards of Conduct for
Transmission Providers; and Marketing
Affiliates of Interstate Pipelines.
OMB Control No.: 1 902–0157.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–592 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The Commission uses the
information maintained and posted by
the respondents to monitor the
pipeline’s transportation, sales, and
storage activities for its marketing
affiliate to deter undue discrimination
by pipeline companies in favor of their
marketing affiliates. Non-affiliated
shippers and other entities (e.g. state
commissions) also use information to
determine whether they have been
harmed by affiliate preference and to
prepare evidence for proceedings
following the filing of a complaint.
18 CFR Part 358 (Standards of Conduct)
Respondents maintain and provide
the information required by Part 358 on
their Internet Web sites. When the
Commission requires a pipeline to post
information on its Web site following a
disclosure of non-public information to
its marketing affiliate, non-affiliated
shippers obtain comparable access to
the non-public transportation
information, which allows them to
compete with marketing affiliates on a
more equal basis.
18 CFR 250.16, and the FERC–592 Log/
Format
This form (log/format) provides the
electronic formats for maintaining
information on discounted
transportation transactions and capacity
allocation to support monitoring of
activities of interstate pipeline
marketing affiliates. Commission staff
considers discounts given to shippers in
litigated rate cases.
Without this information collection:
• The Commission would be unable
to effectively monitor whether pipelines
are giving discriminatory preference to
their marketing affiliates; and
• Non-affiliated shippers and state
commissions and others would be
unable to determine if they have been
harmed by affiliate preference or
prepare evidence for proceedings
following the filing of a complaint.
Type of Respondents: Natural gas
pipelines.
