In RM09-2-000, A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FERC is proposing a new information collection requirement FERC-549D. FERC-549D will be affected because the proposed regulations will require intrastate pipelines to amend their filing requirements by (1) changing the existing annual §284.126(b) transactional reports to be filed on a quarterly basis, (2) require that the reports include certain additional types of information and cover storage transactions as well as transportation transactions, (3) establish a procedure for the §284.126(b) reports to be filed in a uniform electronic format and posted on the Commission’s web site, and (4) hold that those reports must be public and may not be filed with information redacted as privileged.

By issuing this NOPR the Commission finds that increased transparency of both the transportation and storage transactions of section 311 and Hinshaw pipelines is desirable and can be accomplished without undue burden on the subject pipelines. By requiring reports to include not only the information currently required by section 284.126(b), but also the rate charged under each contract, the duration of the contract, the receipt and delivery points, and whether there is an affiliate relationship between the pipeline and the shipper will allow shippers and others, including the Commission, to monitor transactions for undue discrimination and preference. This additional information is necessary to enable such persons to determine the extent to which particular transactions are comparable to one another.
