Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The estimated burden for the FERC-549 information collection increased from previous burden estimates despite a decrease in total annual responses. The increase in burden is due to 1) increased annual burden per response for periodic rate review (related to “Rates and Charges for Intrastate Pipelines”) and 2) an increase in the annual number of market-based rates filers (from two to four). The increase in the annual burden per response for “Rates and Charges for Intrastate Pipelines” requirement is due to an underestimation of relevant burden in previous FERC-549 information collection activities. Based on more recent experience with the FERC-549 information collection, FERC subject matter experts increased the annual hourly burden per response from 5.24 to 50. The decrease in total annual responses reflects an expected reduction in filer activity related to FERC-549 due to revisions extending the cycle for “Rates and Charges” reviews from three to five years (i.e. less frequent filing) .
