Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 187 / Thursday, September 26, 2024 / Notices
Title: FERC–588 (Emergency Natural
Gas Transportation, Sale, and Exchange
Transactions).
OMB Control No.: 1902–0144.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–588 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.
Abstract: FERC–588 is an existing
information collection consisting of
filing requirements and notice
procedures applicable to responses to
natural gas emergency circumstances.
Two sets of information collection
activities pertain to such responses.
One set applies to responses by a
jurisdictional ‘‘natural-gas company,’’
i.e., a person engaged in the
transportation of natural gas in
interstate commerce, or the sale in
interstate commerce of such gas for
resale.1 Section 7(c)(1)(A) of the Natural
Gas Act 2 requires any natural-gas
company to obtain a certificate of public
convenience and necessity issued by the
Commission before engaging in the
transportation or sale of natural gas in
interstate commerce, or undertaking the
construction or extension of any
facilities for the transportation or sale of
natural gas in interstate commerce.
Under 18 CFR 157.17, a jurisdictional
natural-gas company may file an
application for a temporary certificate
authorizing the construction and
operation of extensions of existing
facilities, interconnections of pipeline
systems, or sales of natural gas that may
be required to assure maintenance of
adequate service, or to service particular
customers.
The other set of responses to a natural
gas emergency, at 18 CFR part 284
subpart I, exempts a person who
engages in an emergency natural gas
transaction in interstate commerce from
the certificate requirements of section 7
of the Natural Gas Act.3 The term
‘‘emergency natural gas transaction’’ is

(1) Necessary to alleviate an
emergency; and
(2) Not anticipated to extend for more
than 60 days in duration.
A non-jurisdictional company that
engages in an emergency natural gas
transactions must file information with
the Commission under 18 CFR 284.270,
so that the Commission may ensure
compliance with relevant legal
requirements.
Types of Respondent: Providers and
recipients of assistance in natural gas
emergency circumstances.

Commission estimates the total annual

Comments: Comments are invited on:

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.

[Docket No. RM01–5–000]
Electronic Tariff Filings; Notice of
Posting of Revised Type of Filing and
Validation Error Codes for Testing
Take notice that revised Type of
Filing and Validation Error Codes have
been posted for testing the compliance
filing revisions to be implemented
November 25, 2024, as indicated in the
September 6, 2024, notice in this
docket. The revised codes will ensure
that parties differentiate between (1)
compliance filings in a current
proceeding for which the filer has a
filing identifier, which are assigned a
sub-docket, and (2) compliance filings,
such as compliance with complaint
orders and rulemakings, where the filer
has no existing filing identifier and
therefore must establish a new docket.
New filing codes also will be assigned
to allow utilities to distinguish baseline
maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information
to or for a federal agency. For further explanation
of what is included in the information collection
burden, refer to 5 CFR 1320.3.

Under the eTariff XML schema, filers
that are making a filing related to an
existing proceeding with a Filing
Identifier must include an Associated
Filing Identifier at the Filing level for
the filing to receive a sub-docket. In this
situation, filers must submit the filing
using the compliance type category and
must include an associated filing
identifier at the Filing level, so they are
assigned a sub-docket of the original
docket. Failure to include the associated
filing identifier will result in a rejection
of the filing (Error code 28—An
Associated Filing Identifier is required
at filing level.). Type of Filing Codes
designated under the compliance new
type category apply to filings that will
receive a new docket number. If the
filing using these codes includes an
associated filing identifier at the Filing
level, the filing be rejected (Error code

a new docket, so the associated filing
identifier is not needed).

current annual average cost of $207,786 (for salary
plus benefits) for a full-time equivalent, the average
hourly cost is $100/hour. Therefore, the hourly cost
used in the burden calculation is $100.
