    Abstract: The Commission uses the information collected under the 
requirements of FERC-574 to implement the statutory provisions of 
Sections 1(c), 4, and 7 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA). Natural gas 
pipeline companies file applications with the Commission furnishing 
information in order to facilitate a determination of an applicant's 
qualification for an exemption under the provisions of the section 
1(c). If the Commission grants an exemption, the natural gas pipeline 
company is not required to file certificate applications, rate 
schedules, or any other applications or forms prescribed by the 
Commission.
    The exemption applies to companies engaged in the transportation, 
sale, or resale of natural gas in interstate commerce if: (a) they 
receive gas at or within the boundaries of the state from another 
person at or within the boundaries of that state; (b) such gas is 
ultimately consumed in such state; (c) the rates, service and 
facilities of such company are subject to regulation by a State 
Commission; and (d) that such State Commission is exercising that 
jurisdiction. 18 CFR part 152 specifies the data required to be filed 
by pipeline companies for an exemption.
    Type of Respondents: Pipeline companies.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: \1\ The Commission estimates the annual 
public reporting burden and cost \2\ for the information collection as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ ``Burden'' is the total time, effort, or financial resources 
expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or 
provide information to or for a federal agency. See 5 CFR 1320 for 
additional information on the definition of information collection 
burden.
    \2\ Commission staff estimates that the industry's skill set and 
cost (for wages and benefits) for FERC-574 are approximately the 
same as the Commission's average cost. The FERC 2022 average salary 
plus benefits for one FERC full-time equivalent (FTE) is $188,922/
year (or $91.00/hour).
