SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Title: Preservation of Records for
Public Utilities and Licensees, Natural
Gas and Oil Pipeline Companies.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0098.
Abstract: The Commission collects
the information to carry out its
responsibilities described in sections
301, 304 and 309 of the Federal Power
Act (FPA),1 sections 8, 10 and 16 of the
Natural Gas Act (NGA),2 and in the
Interstate Commerce Act (ICA).3
The regulations for preservation of
records at 18 CFR parts 125, 225, and
1217
356 establish retention periods and
other requirements for applicable
records. These requirements apply to
the public utilities, licensees, natural
gas companies, and oil pipeline
companies that are subject to the
Commission’s jurisdiction. Regulated
entities use these records as the basis for
required rate filings and reports to the
Commission. The Commission’s audit
staff will use the records during
compliance reviews, and the
Commission’s enforcement staff will use
the information during investigations. In
addition, the Commission’s staff may
use the records for special analyses on
subjects such as jurisdictional entities’
responses to extreme weather events.
On January 8, 1999 the Commission
issued AI99–2–000, an Accounting
Issuance providing guidance on records
storage media.4 More specifically, the
Commission gave each jurisdictional
company the flexibility to select its own
storage media. The storage media
selected must have a life expectancy
equal to the applicable record period
unless the quality of the data transferred
from one media to another with no loss
of data would exceed the record period.
Types of Respondents: Electric
utilities, licensees, natural gas
companies, and oil pipeline companies
Estimate of Annual Burden: The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting hour burden for the
information collection as:

FERC estimates that the annual total
non-hour record storage cost is
$78,243,220. The average annual
rounded non-hour storage cost per
company is $153,719 (or $78,243,220/

using cost information submitted by a
