boundaries of that state; (b) such gas is
ultimately consumed in such state; (c)

receive gas at or within the boundaries of the state from another
person at or within the boundaries of that state; (b) such gas is
ultimately consumed in such state; (c) the rates, service and
facilities of such company are subject to regulation by a State
Commission; and (d) that such State Commission is exercising that
jurisdiction. 18 CFR part 152 specifies the data required to be filed
by pipeline companies for an exemption.
Type of Respondents: Pipeline companies.
Estimate of Annual Burden: \1\ The Commission estimates the annual

burden.
\2\ Commission staff estimates that the industry's skill set and
cost (for wages and benefits) for FERC-574 are approximately the
same as the Commission's average cost. The FERC 2019 average salary
plus benefits for one FERC full-time equivalent (FTE) is $167,091/
