Certificates: Import & Export Related
Applications).
OMB Control No.: 1902–0062.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–539 with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The purpose of FERC–539 is
to implement information collections
pursuant to Section 3 of the Natural Gas
Act (NGA).1 This statute provides, in
part, that ‘‘. . . no person shall export
any natural gas from the United States
to a foreign country or import any
natural gas from a foreign country
without first having secured an order
from the Commission authorizing it to
do so.’’ 2 This statute applies not only to
natural gas imported and/or exported
via pipeline but also to any import and/
or export of liquefied natural gas via a
liquefied natural gas terminal. The 1992
62405
amendments to Section 3 of the NGA
concern importation or exportation
from/to a nation which has a free trade
agreement with the United States, and
requires that such importation or
exportation: (1) Shall be deemed to be
a ‘‘first sale’’, i.e., not a sale for a resale,
and (2) Shall be deemed to be consistent
with the public interest, and
applications for such importation or
exportation shall be granted without
modification or delay.

Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden for the information
