Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 134 / Thursday, July 13, 2006 / Notices

Act reflect changes in rates based

generally upon changes in the pipeline

company’s overall costs of providing

service. Staff analyses are performed to

determine whether the proposed rates

and charges are consistent with the

Commission’s statutory responsibilities,

policies, conditions. A preliminary

review and report to the Commission of

all changes filed under the NGA must be

made by staff. Based upon the report,

the Commission determines whether the

filing should be accepted or suspended

and set for hearing and investigation. 18

CFR 154.301–154.313 govern the filing

requirements for rate changes and

define the statements and schedules

pipeline companies must file in support

of their proposed rates and changes. 18

CFR 154.205 governs the filing

requirements for changes relating to

suspended tariffs, executed agreements

or parts thereof. 18 CFR 154.206 permits

the proposed change in rate, charge,

classification or service to go into effect

upon motion of the jurisdictional gas

pipeline at the expiration of the

suspension period or upon receipt of the

motion, whichever is later.

Formal rate change filings (FERC–544)

are suspended and set for hearing.

When the NGA Section 4(e) filing is

suspended, the rate becomes the subject

of a hearing process and may go into

effect subject to refund with interest. All

suspended filings that go through the

hearing process are considered formal

cases and an investigation is instituted

to determine the reasonableness of the

rate filing. If the rates and charges are

deemed unjust, unreasonable or unduly

discriminatory, the appropriate rate,

charge or service condition is

ascertained. The formal proceeding is

terminated by the issuance of a final

Commission order.

5. Respondent Description: The

respondent universe currently

comprises 11 companies (on average)

subject to the Commission’s

jurisdiction.

6. Estimated Burden: 50,413 total

hours, 11 respondents (average), 1

response per respondent, and 4,583

hours per response (average).

7. Estimated Cost Burden to

respondents: 50,413 hours/2080 hours

per years × $117,321 per year =

$2,843,511. The cost per respondent is

equal to $258,501.

Statutory Authority: Statutory provisions

of sections 4, 5, and 16 of the Natural Gas Act

(U.S.C. 717c–717o, Pub. L. 75–688). The
