These procedures will replace the use of random-number generated passwords to authenticate access to a company registration account with a superior method of authentication. Under the revised procedures, a regulated natural gas and oil pipeline will be able to maintain a list of eRegistered agents whom the pipeline has authorized to submit a particular type of filing. Implementation of these changes will provide increased flexibility for regulated entities to manage their company registration accounts and to designate agents to make filings at the Commission. These changes also will reduce the need for pipelines to institute measures to protect password integrity, including the need to request new passwords if existing passwords are compromised.2 These revised procedures are expected to go into effect in October 2013. OMB’s regulations 3 require approval of certain information collection requirements that impose identical reporting or recordkeeping requirements imposed on ten or more persons. Without consideration of potential cost savings in reduced password management and requests for new passwords, the one-time burden on interstate and intrastate natural gas and oil pipelines to transition to the revised system is estimated to be one hour per respondent at a cost of $35.99/hour for support staff.4 Information Collection Costs: The Commission projects the average annual burden and cost of compliance with these regulations to be the following: Total hours 1 1 1 161 200 200 Total cost $5,794 7,198 7,198 is incorporated in FERC–920, Electric Quarterly Report, OMB Control No. 1902–0255. Those reporting requirements will be submitted to OMB for review after OMB issues a decision on another pending item under that Control Number. (Only one item per OMB Control Number can be pending at OMB for PRA review at a time.) E:\FR\FM\14FEN1.SGM 14FEN1
