FERC requests reinstatement of this information collection with changes. The changes consist of revised burden estimates due to in part to adjustments based on normal market fluctuation. In addition, the previously approved burden estimates are not in effect at present because of OMB’s February 4, 2020 disapproval of FERC’s request for an emergency extension. The changes are not a result of any program change or change in reporting/record keeping requirements. The expiration date of FERC-923 was January 31, 2020. FERC initiated the renewal process for FERC-923 on December 30, 2019, by publishing a 60-day notice (84 FR 71912). That notice provided for a comment period that ended on February 28, 2020. On January 28, 2020, FERC sent OMB a request for a 3-month emergency extension of the expiration date in order to continue the renewal process. In addition, FERC published a notice of the emergency extension request on February 4, 2020 (85 FR 6153). OMB disapproved the request for an emergency extension on February 4, 2020. The FERC 30-day notice was issued on 3/3/2020. The regulations that authorize FERC-923 (18 CFR 38.2 and 284.12(b)(4)(i)) eliminate actual and perceived prohibitions against the voluntary sharing of non-public, operational information between natural gas pipelines and public utilities. FERC promulgated those regulations in order to promote reliability of service. FERC-923 does not involve submission of information to FERC.
