Action: Revised and new company registration information requirements. Respondents: Interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines and interstate oil pipelines. Frequency of Responses: One-time initial implementation and periodic updates as needed. Need for Information: The changes are being implemented to enhance the security of natural gas and oil pipelines’ company registration accounts and to provide pipelines with an enhanced ability to manage filing permissions. Internal Review: We have reviewed the changes and determined that the changes are necessary, conforming to the Commission’s need for efficient information collection, communication, and management within the energy industry. We have assured ourselves, by means of internal review, that there is specific, objective support for the burden estimates associated with the information collection requirements. Comments: Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 4 The estimated burden on electric utilities for compliance with this requirement was included in Order No. 770, 77 FR 71,288 (Nov. 30, 2012), FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,338, at PP 58–62 (2012) (Docket No. RM12–3–000) and is incorporated in FERC– 920, Electric Quarterly Report, OMB Control No. 1902–0255.

during peak operations and to provide redundancy in the event of a 
failure; and
     condensate truck loading facilities to enable the 
condensate to be trucked off-site in the unlikely event that the 
condensate does not meet the applicable quality specifications of the 
pipeline or in the event of a disruption in pipeline service.
