Abstract: OMB approved Form 549D (ICR 201005-1902-003 on 7/23/2010) as contained in Order 735. In this Order on Rehearing (Order 735-A ), the Commission addresses pending requests to reconsider or clarify its earlier Order 735 , in which it modified and reduced its reporting requirements and instituted Form No. 549D (Quarterly Transportation and Storage Report for Intrastate Natural Gas and Hinshaw Pipelines). The Commission is seeking OMB approval of the following changes that were made to Form No. 549D in this Order on Rehearing (Order 735-A) which: o generally reaffirms Order 735 o retracts the increased requirements for contract end dates and per-customer revenue o extends the filing deadlines from 30 days to 60 days after each reporting quarter, and o offers clarification on several matters. FERC does not change its earlier burden estimate from that provided in Order No. 735.
