SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–555 (Preservation of
Records for Public Utilities and
Licensees, Natural Gas and Oil Pipeline
Companies).
OMB Control No.: 1902–0098.
Abstract: The Commission collects
the information under the requirements
of FERC–555 (Records Retention
Requirements) to carry out its
responsibilities in implementing the
statutory provisions of Sections 301, 304
and 309 of the Federal Power Act
(FPA),1 Sections 8, 10 and 16 of the

Natural Gas Act (NGA),2 and Section 20
of the Interstate Commerce Act (ICA).3
The regulations for preservation of
records establish retention periods,
necessary guidelines, and requirements
for retention of applicable records.
These requirements apply to the
regulated public utilities, natural gas
and oil pipeline companies subject to
the Commission’s jurisdiction.
Regulated entities use these records as
the basis for required rate filings and
reports to the Commission.
Additionally, the Commission’s audit
staff will use the records during
compliance reviews. The Commission’s
enforcement staff will also use the
information during investigations.
Finally, the Commission will use the
records for special analyses when
necessary.
On January 8, 1999 the Commission
issued AI99–2–000, an Accounting
Issuance providing guidance on records
storage media. More specifically, the
Commission gave each jurisdictional
company the flexibility to select its own
storage media. The storage media
selected must have a life expectancy
equal to the applicable record period
unless the quality of the data transferred
from one media to another with no loss
of data would exceed the record period.
On January 27, 2000, the Commission
issued a final rule amending its records
retention regulations for public utilities
and licensees as well as natural gas and
oil pipeline companies. These changes
included revising the general
instructions, and shortening various
records retention periods. The objective
of the final rule was to reduce or
eliminate burdensome and unnecessary
regulatory requirements.
The Commission is not making any
additional changes to the record
retention requirements specified under
FERC–555. The Commission
implements these filing requirements in
the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
under 18 CFR parts 125, 225, and 356.
Type of Respondent: Electric utilities,
natural gas pipelines, and oil pipelines.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 4 The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden for the information
collection as:

Additional Background. Based on the
data submitted by jurisdictional filers in
2010, we provide more detail regarding
how we generated burden and cost
estimates. We divided the entities into
three size categories based on annual
revenue reported on FERC’s financial
forms (Form 1, Form 2/2A and Form 6).6
As indicated in the appendix, we only
received useful responses from five
entities: Three large, one medium, and
5,218.14 hrs.; $417,451 ................................
one small. Because of this very limited
data, it should not be inferred that the
average burden and cost indicated for
each entity size are representative of the
burden for all entities in that size
category and industry. We performed
the analysis in this way in order to come
up with a better average to apply across
all the industries. It should also be
noted that it is difficult to compare
across industries based on entity size.
2,656,034 hrs.; $212,482,720.
For example, the first table below
indicates that a large electric utility has
an annual revenue more than ten times
greater than a large gas pipeline.
The first table shows the estimated
size categories by industry, and the
second table shows the burden and cost
based on size (combining the 3
industries).

using the following formula: Average Burden Hours

the FERC average salary because we consider any
record retention requirements completed in
response to the FERC–555 to be compensated at
rates similar to the work of FERC employees.
6 The size thresholds are estimates based on staff
judgment.

The total estimated annual cost
burden to respondents is $212,482,720,
which includes $127,433,401 for nonlabor record storage costs and
$85,049,319 for employee costs. The
average cost per respondent is $417,451,
which includes $250,360 for non-labor
record storage costs and $167,091 for
employee costs. All of these cost figures
are based on staff analysis of the data we
received in 2019.
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
of the burden and cost of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information collection;
and (4) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC-555 (Preservation of Records for Public Utilities and
Licensees, Natural Gas and Oil Pipeline Companies).
OMB Control No.: 1902-0098.
Abstract: The Commission collects the information under the
requirements of FERC-555 (Records Retention Requirements) to carry out
its responsibilities in implementing the statutory provisions of
Sections 301, 304 and 309 of the Federal Power Act (FPA),\1\ Sections
8, 10 and 16 of the
[[Page 46510]]
Natural Gas Act (NGA),\2\ and Section 20 of the Interstate Commerce Act
(ICA).\3\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The regulations for preservation of records establish retention
periods, necessary guidelines, and requirements for retention of
applicable records. These requirements apply to the regulated public
utilities, natural gas and oil pipeline companies subject to the
Commission's jurisdiction. Regulated entities use these records as the
basis for required rate filings and reports to the Commission.
Additionally, the Commission's audit staff will use the records during
compliance reviews. The Commission's enforcement staff will also use
the information during investigations. Finally, the Commission will use
the records for special analyses when necessary.
On January 8, 1999 the Commission issued AI99-2-000, an Accounting
Issuance providing guidance on records storage media. More
specifically, the Commission gave each jurisdictional company the
flexibility to select its own storage media. The storage media selected
must have a life expectancy equal to the applicable record period
unless the quality of the data transferred from one media to another
with no loss of data would exceed the record period.
On January 27, 2000, the Commission issued a final rule amending
its records retention regulations for public utilities and licensees as
well as natural gas and oil pipeline companies. These changes included
revising the general instructions, and shortening various records
retention periods. The objective of the final rule was to reduce or
eliminate burdensome and unnecessary regulatory requirements.
The Commission is not making any additional changes to the record
retention requirements specified under FERC-555. The Commission
implements these filing requirements in the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) under 18 CFR parts 125, 225, and 356.
Type of Respondent: Electric utilities, natural gas pipelines, and
oil pipelines.
Estimate of Annual Burden: \4\ The Commission estimates the annual
public reporting burden for the information collection as:

Additional Background. Based on the data submitted by
jurisdictional filers in 2010, we provide more detail regarding how we
generated burden and cost estimates. We divided the entities into three
size categories based on annual revenue reported on FERC's financial
forms (Form 1, Form 2/2A and Form 6).\6\ As indicated in the appendix,
we only received useful responses from five entities: Three large, one
medium, and one small. Because of this very limited data, it should not
be inferred that the average burden and cost indicated for each entity
size are representative of the burden for all entities in that size
category and industry. We performed the analysis in this way in order
to come up with a better average to apply across all the industries. It
should also be noted that it is difficult to compare across industries
based on entity size. For example, the first table below indicates that
a large electric utility has an annual revenue more than ten times
greater than a large gas pipeline.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ The estimates for cost per response are derived using the
following formula: Average Burden Hours per Response * $80/hour =
Average cost/response. The figure is the 2019 FERC average hourly
cost (for wages and benefits) of $80 (and an average annual salary
of $167,091/year). Commission staff is using the FERC average salary
because we consider any record retention requirements completed in
response to the FERC-555 to be compensated at rates similar to the
work of FERC employees.
\6\ The size thresholds are estimates based on staff judgment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first table shows the estimated size categories by industry,
and the second table shows the burden and cost based on size (combining
the 3 industries).

The total estimated annual cost burden to respondents is
$212,482,720, which includes $127,433,401 for non-labor record storage
costs and $85,049,319 for employee costs. The average cost per
respondent is $417,451, which includes $250,360 for non-labor record
storage costs and $167,091 for employee costs. All of these cost
figures are based on staff analysis of the data we received in 2019.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ Due to rounding during the analysis and calculations, the
total in this column does not sum to the exact figure reported shown
in the summary burden table.

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 of the burden and
cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
