collection requirements with no changes
to the current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The Commission uses the
information collected in the FERC Form
No. 552 1 to provide greater
transparency into the size of the
physical natural gas market and the use
of physical fixed-price and index-based
natural gas transactions. This
information assists the Commission and
the public in assessing whether index

of fixed-price transactions.
FERC Form No. 552 had its genesis in
the Energy Policy Act of 2005,2 which
added section 23 of the Natural Gas Act
(NGA). Section 23 of the NGA, among
other things, directs the Commission ‘‘to
facilitate price transparency in markets
for the sale or transportation of physical
natural gas in interstate commerce,
having due regard for the public
interest, the integrity of those markets,
and the protection of consumers.’’ 3
Type of Respondents: Wholesale
natural gas market participants.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 4 The
Commission estimates the average
annual burden and cost 5 for this
information collection as follows.
