storage facilities under reasonably
representative operating assumptions
and the respective assignments of that
capacity to the various firm services
provided by the pipeline.
This annual report is publicly
available, while other more specific
interstate pipeline and storage capacity
details are filed as Critical Energy
Infrastructure Information, such as the
Annual System Flow Diagram (FERC–
567), which is not publicly available.
Index of Customers Under 284.13(c)
In Order 581, issued September 28,
1995 (Docket No. RM95–4–000), the
Commission established the IOC
quarterly information requirement. This
order required the reporting of five data
elements in the IOC filing: The customer
name, the rate schedule under which
service is rendered, the contract
effective date, the contract termination
date, and the maximum daily contract
quantity, for either transportation or
storage service, as appropriate.
In a notice issued separately from
Order 581 in Docket No. RM95–4–000,
issued February 29, 1996, the
Commission, through technical
conferences with industry, determined
that the IOC data reported should be in
tab delimited format on diskette and in
a format prescribed in Appendix A of
the rulemaking. In a departure from past
practice, a three-digit code, instead of a
six-digit code, was established to
identify the respondent.
In Order 637, issued February 9, 2000
(Docket Nos. RM98–10–000 and RM98–
12–000), the Commission required the
filing of: The receipt and delivery points
held under contract and the zones or
segments in which the capacity is held,
the common transaction point codes,
the contract number, the shipper
identification number, an indication of
whether the contract includes
negotiated rates, the names of any
agents or asset managers that control
capacity in a pipeline rate zone, and any
affiliate relationship between the
pipeline and the holder of capacity. It
was stated in the order that the changes
to the Commission’s reporting
requirements would enhance the
reliability of information about capacity
availability and price that shippers need
to make informed decisions in a
competitive market as well as improve
shippers’ and the Commission’s ability
to monitor marketplace behavior to
detect and remedy anti-competitive
behavior. Order 637 required a pipeline
to post the IOC data quarterly on its
website instead of on the outdated
EBBs.
Types of Respondents: Interstate
pipelines subject to FERC regulation
under the Natural Gas Act, and those
entities defined as Hinshaw Pipelines
under the Natural Gas Policy Act.
Estimate of Annual Burden: The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden 1 for the information
collection as shown in the following
table:

provide information to or for a Federal agency. For
further explanation of what is included in the
information collection burden, reference 5 CFR
1320.3.
2 The current average cost for one FERC full-time
equivalent ($83.00 per hour for wages plus benefits)
is used as a proxy for industry’s hourly cost.

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE
CORPORATION
RIN 3064–ZA22
Notice of Inflation Adjustments for
Civil Money Penalties
Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Notice of Monetary Penalties
2021.
The Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation is providing
notice of its maximum civil money
penalties as adjusted for inflation.
DATES: The adjusted maximum amounts
of civil money penalties in this notice
are applicable to penalties assessed after
January 15, 2021, for conduct occurring
on or after November 2, 2015.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Graham N. Rehrig, Senior Attorney,
Legal Division, (202) 898–3829,
grehrig@fdic.gov; Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, 550 17th Street
NW, Washington, DC 20429.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces changes to the
maximum amount of each civil money
penalty (CMP) within the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (FDIC)
jurisdiction to administer to account for
inflation under the Federal Civil
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of
1990 (1990 Adjustment Act),1 as
amended by the Federal Civil Penalties
Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements
Act of 2015 (2015 Adjustment Act).2
Under the 1990 Adjustment Act, as
amended, federal agencies must make
annual adjustments to the maximum
amount of each CMP the agency
administers. The Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) is required to issue
SUMMARY:
299
guidance to federal agencies no later
than December 15 of each year
providing an inflation-adjustment
multiplier (i.e., the inflation-adjustment
factor agencies must use) applicable to
CMPs assessed in the following year.
Agencies are required to publish their
CMPs, adjusted under the multiplier
provided by the OMB, by January 15 of
the applicable year. Agencies, like the
FDIC, that have codified the statutory
formula for making the CMP
adjustments may make annual inflation
adjustments by providing notice in the
Federal Register.3
On December 23, 2020, the OMB
issued guidance to affected agencies on
implementing the required annual
adjustment, which guidance included
the relevant inflation multiplier.4 The
FDIC has applied that multiplier to the
maximum CMPs allowable in 2020 for
FDIC-supervised institutions to
calculate the maximum amount of CMPs
that may be assessed by the FDIC in
2021.5 There were no new statutory
CMPs administered by the FDIC during
2020.
The following charts provide the
inflation-adjusted maximum CMP
amounts for use after January 15, 2021—
the effective date of the 2021 annual
adjustments—under 12 CFR part 308,
for conduct occurring on or after
November 2, 2015:
