SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Gas Pipeline Rates: Refund Report Requirements. OMB Control No.: 1902–0084. Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC–547 information collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting requirements. Abstract: The Commission uses FERC–547 (Gas Pipeline Rates: Refund Report Requirements) to implement the statutory refund provisions governed by Sections 4 and 16 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA).1 Section 4 authorizes the Commission to order a refund (with interest) for any portion of a natural gas company’s increased rate or charge found to be unjust or unreasonable. Refunds may also be instituted by a natural gas company as a stipulation to a Commission-approved settlement agreement or a provision under the company’s tariff. Section 16 of the NGA authorizes the Commission to prescribe rules and regulations necessary to administer its refund mandates. The Commission’s refund reporting requirements are located in 18 CFR 154.501 (Refund Obligations) and 154.502 (Reports). The Commission uses the data collected in FERC–547 to monitor 68481 refunds owed by natural gas companies to ensure that the flow-through of refunds owed by these companies are made as expeditiously as possible and to assure that refunds are made in compliance with the Commission’s regulations. Type of Respondents: Natural gas companies. Estimate of Annual Burden: 2 Refund obligations occur following a Commission determination of unjust or unreasonable rates. Due to the nature of determinations on an ad hoc basis, the Commission estimate is based on the average number of refund obligations. The Commission estimates the annual public reporting burden for the information collection as: FERC–547—GAS PIPELINE RATES: REFUND REPORT REQUIREMENTS Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Total number of responses Average burden hours & average cost 3 per response ($) Total annual burden hours & total annual cost ($) Cost per respondent ($) (1) (2) (1) × (2) = (3) (4) (3) × (4) = (5) (5) ÷ (1) = (6) 2 hrs.; $182 ................ 88 hrs.; $8,008 ........... 22 ............................................................................................ Comments: Comments are invited on: (1) whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden and cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
