SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–567, Gas Pipeline
Certificates: Annual Reports of System
Flow Diagrams and System Capacity.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0005.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–567 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The Commission uses the
information from the FERC–567 to
obtain accurate data on pipeline
facilities and the peak capacity of these
facilities. Additionally, the Commission
48299
validates the need for new facilities
proposed by pipelines in certificate
applications. By modeling an
applicant’s pipeline system,
Commission staff utilizes the FERC–567
data to determine configuration and
location of installed pipeline facilities;
verify and determine the receipt and
delivery points between shippers,
producers and pipeline companies;
determine the location of receipt and
delivery points and emergency
interconnections on a pipeline system;
determine the location of pipeline
segments, laterals and compressor
stations on a pipeline system; verify
pipeline segment lengths and pipeline
diameters; justify the maximum
allowable operating pressures and
suction and discharge pressures at
compressor stations; verify the installed
horsepower and volumes compressed at
each compressor station; determine the
existing shippers and producers
currently using each pipeline company;
verify peak capacity on the system; and
develop and evaluate alternatives to the
proposed facilities as a means to
mitigate environmental impact of new
pipeline construction.
18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
260.8(a) requires each major natural gas
pipeline with a system delivery capacity
exceeding 100,000 Mcf 1 per day to
submit by June 1 of each year, diagrams
reflecting operating conditions on the
pipeline’s main transmission system
during the previous 12 months ended
December 31. These physical/
engineering data are not included as
part of any other data collection
requirement.
Type of Respondents: Applicants with
a system delivery capacity in excess of
100,000 Mcf per day.
Estimate of Annual Burden:2 The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden for the information
collection as:
