SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–604 (Cash Management
Agreements).
OMB Control No.: 1902–0267.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–604 with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: Cash management or
‘‘money pool’’ programs typically
concentrate affiliates’ cash assets in
joint accounts for the purpose of
providing financial flexibility and
lowering the cost of borrowing. In a
2001 investigation, FERC staff found
that balances in cash management
programs affecting FERC-regulated
entities totaled approximately $16
billion. Additionally, other
investigations revealed large transfers of
funds amounting to more than $1
billion) between regulated pipeline
affiliates and non-regulated parents
whose financial conditions were
precarious. The Commission found that
these and other fund transfers and the
enormous (mostly unregulated) pools of
money in cash management programs
could detrimentally affect regulated
rates.
To protect customers and promote
transparency, the Commission issued
Order 634–A (2003) requiring entities to
formalize in writing and file with the
Commission their cash management
agreements. At that time, the
Commission obtained OMB clearance
for this new reporting requirement
under the FERC–555 information
collection (OMB Control No. 1902–
0098). Now, the Commission includes
these reporting requirements for cash
management agreements under the
FERC–604 information collection (OMB
Control No. 1902–0267). The
Commission implemented these
reporting requirements in 18 CFR parts
141.500, 260.400, and 357.5.
Type of Respondents: Public utilities,
natural gas companies, and oil pipeline
companies.
