Download as PDF 2847 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 27 / Friday, February 8, 2019 / Notices Action on Request for Federal Authorization. OMB Control No.: 1902–0241. Type of Request: Three-year extension of these information collection requirements for all collections described below with no changes to the current reporting requirements. Please note that each collection is distinct from the other. Abstract: FERC–606 requires agencies and officials responsible for issuing, conditioning, or denying requests for federal authorizations necessary for a proposed natural gas project to report to the Commission regarding the status of an authorization request. This reporting requirement is intended to allow agencies to assist the Commission to make better informed decisions in establishing due dates for agencies’ decisions. FERC–607 requires agencies or officials to submit to the Commission a copy of a decision or action on a request for federal authorization and an accompanying index to the documents and materials relied on in reaching a conclusion. The information collections can neither be discontinued nor collected less frequently because of statutory requirements. The consequences of not collecting this information are that the Commission would be unable to fulfill its statutory mandate under the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to: • Establish a schedule for agencies to review requests for federal authorizations required for a project, and • Compile a record of each agency’s decision, together with the record of the Commission’s decision, to serve as a consolidated record for the purpose of appeal or review, including judicial review. Type of Respondent: Agencies with federal authorization responsibilities. Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The Commission estimates the annual public reporting burden and cost 2 (rounded) for the information collection as follows: FERC–606 (NOTIFICATION OF REQUEST FOR FEDERAL AUTHORIZATION AND REQUESTS FOR FURTHER INFORMATION), AND FERC–607 (REPORT ON DECISION OR ACTION ON REQUEST FOR FEDERAL AUTHORIZATION) Number of respondents Annual number of responses per respondent Total number of responses Average burden hours & cost per response Total annual burden hours & total annual cost Cost per respondent ($) (1) (2) (1) * (2) = (3) (4) (3) * (4) = (5) (5) ÷ (1) FERC–606 ...................
