Abstract: FERC–588 is an existing

requirements. An interstate pipeline
that seeks an emergency certificate for
facilities must file an application under
18 CFR 157.17.
Types of Respondent: Providers and
recipients of assistance in natural gas
emergency circumstances.

the methodology and assumptions used;

the collection of information on those
