I. Introduction

1. On June 24, 2021, American Gas Association, American Public Gas
Association, American Forest & Paper Association, Industrial Energy
Consumers of America, Process Gas Consumers Group and Natural Gas
Supply Association (collectively, Petitioners) filed a petition
requesting that the Commission institute a rulemaking to revise its
regulations, or at the minimum, issue an order revising and updating
the FERC Implementation Guide for Electronic Filing of Parts 35, 154,
284, 300 and 341 Tariff Filings (FERC Implementation Guide) to require
natural gas pipelines to submit all supporting statements, schedules
and workpapers in native format \1\ with all links and formulas intact
when filing a general Natural Gas Act (NGA) section 4 \2\ rate case
(Petition). Petitioners state that the Commission's current policy does
not ensure that Commission staff and stakeholders have access to all
the information needed to perform routine rate analyses.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\1\ As stated in the FERC Implementation Guide, native format,
or native application format, ``refers to the software used to
create the file. When a file is submitted in native application
format it is submitted in the format of the software used to create
the file. For example, if the file is created in Microsoft Excel
2010, submit the file in an Excel format, generally denoted by an
extension of XLSX. All files submitted in native application format
must be saved and filed using one of the Commission's accepted
electronic document file formats. The list of FERC Acceptable File
Formats is available on <a href="http://www.ferc.gov">www.ferc.gov</a>.'' FERC Implementation Guide

2. CenterPoint Energy Resources Corporation (CenterPoint), National
Grid Gas Delivery Companies (National

[[Page 31784]]

Grid),\3\ and Exelon Corporation, Exelon Generation Company, LLC, and
affiliates (collectively, Exelon) filed general comments in support of
the Petition. In its comments, CenterPoint states that the changes
proposed in the Petition may expedite proceedings by removing the
additional step where intervenors must submit separate requests for
supporting statements, schedules and workpapers in native format, in
effect reducing time and expense for all stakeholders. National Grid
states that when a natural gas pipeline does not file in native format,
a party's only recourse is either the time-consuming process of raising
the matter in protests and waiting for the Commission to direct the
filer to provide all statements, schedules and workpapers in native
format and subsequently the pipeline's compliance with those directives
or pursuing this necessary information even later in the process
through discovery. National Grid further states that these recourses
are not only inefficient but cost parties time waiting on workpapers
that allow for a complete and thorough assessment of the rate filing.
Exelon maintains that supporting statements, schedules and workpapers
should be provided in native format for stakeholders to review and
determine whether a natural gas pipeline's proposed rate increase is
just and reasonable and in conformance with Commission policies. Exelon
argues that it is difficult to conduct a thorough analysis of a rate
case if supporting statements, schedules and workpapers are submitted
in Adobe PDF format.

II. Background

3. As required by Sec. 284.10 of the Commission's regulations,\4\
interstate natural gas pipelines generally have stated rates for their
services, which are approved in a rate proceeding under NGA sections 4
or 5 and remain in effect until changed in a subsequent section 4 or 5
proceeding. When a natural gas pipeline files under NGA section 4 to
change its rates, the Commission requires the pipeline to provide
detailed support for all the components of its cost of service.\5\
Further, section 4(c) of the NGA requires that a natural gas pipeline
file proposed changes in rates with the Commission 30 days prior to the
proposed effective date.\6\

\5\ 18 CFR 154.312 & 154.313 (2021).
\6\ 15 U.S.C. 717c(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Commission regulations require that natural gas pipelines filing
general section 4 rate cases provide certain statements (Statements A
through P).\7\ In 1995, the Commission issued its Filing and Reporting
Requirements for Interstate Natural Gas Company Rate Schedules and
Tariffs (Order No. 582), stating that Statements I, J and a portion of
H (containing state tax formulations) must be received in spreadsheet
format with formulas included, as the data provided in these statements
are essential to understanding a natural gas pipeline's position with
regard to cost allocation and rate design.\8\ The Commission found that
although these spreadsheets could be obtained through discovery, that
process is burdensome, often redundant of the initial filing and
inhibits better-informed protests.\9\ Subsequently, the FERC
Implementation Guide stated that the ``submission of spreadsheets in
native file format is preferred for Statements A through M, including
related schedules. Statements O and P may use any electronic format
that renders text, graphics, spreadsheets or data bases that the
Commission accepts (the list of FERC Acceptable File Formats is
available on <a href="http://www.ferc.gov">http://www.ferc.gov</a>).'' \10\ Furthermore, for Statements
I, J and a portion of H, the FERC Implementation Guide stated that if
spreadsheets in native format (e.g., Microsoft Excel) are not available
that the natural gas pipeline may submit using any of the
aforementioned acceptable electronic formats which the Commission
accepts.\11\

III. Discussion

5. Pursuant to NGA section 4, we propose to establish a rule to
require natural gas pipelines to submit all statements, schedules and
workpapers in native format with formulas and links intact \12\ when
filing a general NGA section 4 rate case.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\12\ ``Formulas and links intact'' includes formulas and links
within individual spreadsheets and between spreadsheets. For
example, the proposal will require that formulas and links within
Schedule I-2 be intact within Schedule I-2, and intact for any
progressive calculations that flow data from Schedule I-2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. First, requiring all statements, schedules and workpapers to be
filed in native format will reconcile any ambiguity in the current
requirements with a formal requirement for all natural gas pipelines to
file accordingly. For example, in the Order on Clarification of Order
No. 582, the Commission states that if there are no underlying links
used to develop a spreadsheet (i.e., the spreadsheets are prepared
separately from each other) then links do not need to be created.
Currently, when a natural gas pipeline submits a section 4 rate case
filing, the Commission often cannot verify whether there were
underlying links used to develop a spreadsheet or whether a pipeline
severed those links before filing its rate case. We seek to address
this information gap and require natural gas pipelines to file
statements and schedules linking progressive calculations regardless of
how the statements and schedules were created. Furthermore, requiring
spreadsheets with links and formulas intact will enable rate case
participants to manipulate the cost-of-service components (including
billing determinants) to evaluate different rate outcomes without the
need to create their own rate models. This will expedite settlement
negotiations and will allow all rate case participants to evaluate the
filing on equal footing with the natural gas pipeline and without the
need to hire experts or rely on other parties to recreate a pipeline's
rate model.
7. Second, submitting all statements, schedules and workpapers in
native format will provide for a timely and comprehensive analysis of a
rate case filing. If natural gas pipelines are required to submit all
statements, schedules and workpapers in native format with links and
formulas intact in the initial filing, stakeholders will be provided
with pertinent information to analyze the rates and determine if they
are just and reasonable. Parties can begin examining the entire filing
during the typical 12-day comment period and thus file more informed
protests. Furthermore, if natural gas pipelines are required to file
all statements and schedules with formulas and links intact, all rate
case participants will be able to evaluate the filing and any
settlement offers from the same baseline, as opposed to all parties
creating their own rate models. This will streamline the rate case
process, including settlement discussions, and

[[Page 31785]]

avoid parties exchanging multiple rounds of discovery and testimony
merely to understand the rate model's underlying calculations. The
Commission acknowledged this in the Order on Clarification of Order No.
582, stating: ``Requiring parties, including staff, to input all the
figures from the rate case and spend weeks and rounds of discovery to
recreate the pipeline's computations is grossly inefficient and unduly
burdensome. Receiving the rate case in a manipulable format is critical
given the 12-day period for comment and protest.'' \13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\13\ Order on Clarification, 76 FERC at 61,455.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

8. Third, the current regulations are outdated. Order No. 582 was
issued in 1995. Since then, information technology has significantly
improved. Section 4 rate cases are now generally developed using
Microsoft Excel and submitted electronically. The concerns raised in
the comments submitted in the rulemaking underlying Order No. 582 no
longer exist (e.g., outdated software programs, or submitting numerous
diskettes). With this rulemaking, we seek to update the filing
requirements to reflect current information technology capabilities. We
recognize that a final rule adopting these proposals could increase the
burden on natural gas pipelines associated with submitting section 4
rate case filings. Currently, natural gas pipelines are only required
to submit Statements I, J and the state income taxes portion of
Schedule H-3 in native format with formulas and links intact. One
specific burden mentioned in the Order on Clarification of Order No.
582 is the need to create links in files where they do not naturally
occur when the spreadsheet is developed. As stated above, the
Commission cannot verify whether underlying links exist or not but to
the extent natural gas pipelines will need to create links among
multiple spreadsheets that did not naturally occur when the
spreadsheets were generated, their filing burden will increase.
However, we do not anticipate that this requirement will be excessively
burdensome on natural gas pipelines, as any entity that wants to
calculate rates, including the pipeline, needs a linked rate model, and
must create one if it is not provided in the original rate case filing.

IV. Information Collection Statement

9. The information collection requirements contained in this NOPR
are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
under section 3507(d) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.\14\ OMB's
regulations require approval of certain information collection
requirements imposed by agency rules.\15\ Upon approval of a collection
of information, OMB will assign an OMB control number and expiration
date. Respondents subject to the filing requirements of this proposed
rule will not be penalized for failing to respond to these collections
of information unless the collections of information display a valid
OMB control number.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\14\ 44 U.S.C. 3507(d).
\15\ 5 CFR 1320.11 (2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

10. This NOPR will modify the currently approved information
collection associated with FERC-545, Gas Pipeline Rates: Rate Change
(Non-Formal) (OMB Control No. 1902-0154) (FERC-545) by updating the
requirements for submitting a rate case under section 4 of the NGA.
11. Interested persons may obtain information on the reporting
requirements by contacting Ellen Brown, Office of the Executive
Director, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE,
Washington, DC 20426 via email (<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#f9bd988d98ba959c988b98979a9cb99f9c8b9ad79e968f">[email&#160;protected]</a>) or telephone
((202) 502-8663).
12. The Commission solicits comments on the Commission's need for
this information, whether the information will have practical utility,
the accuracy of the burden estimates, ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected or retained,
and any suggested methods for minimizing respondents' burden, including
the use of automated information techniques.
13. Please send comments concerning the collection of information
and the associated burden estimates to: Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street,
NW, Washington, DC 20503 [Attention: Desk Officer for the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission]. Due to security concerns, comments
should be sent electronically to the following email address:
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#305f5942516f4345525d594343595f5e705f5d521e555f401e575f46">[email&#160;protected]</a>. Comments submitted to OMB should refer to
OMB Control No. 1902-0154.
14. Please submit a copy of your comments on the information
collection to the Commission via the eFiling link on the Commission's
website at <a href="http://www.ferc.gov">http://www.ferc.gov</a>. If you are not able to file comments
electronically, please send a copy of your comments to: Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, Secretary of the Commission, 888 First Street
NE, Washington, DC 20426. Comments on the information collection that
are sent to FERC should refer to RM21-18-000.
15. Title: Gas Pipeline Rates: Rate Change (Non-Formal).
16. Action: Proposed modification of collection of information in
accordance with RM21-18-000.
17. OMB Control No.: 1902-0154.
18. Respondents for this Rulemaking: Gas pipelines filing an NGA
section 4 rate case.
19. Frequency of Information Collection: As needed for section 4
rate cases.
20. Necessity of Information: The proposed rule will require all
statements, schedules and workpapers submitted during a section 4 rate
case to be submitted in native format with all links and formulas
intact. The modification to this collection is intended to reduce the
overall burden for all parties involved in a section 4 rate case.
21. Internal Review: The Commission has reviewed the changes and
has determined that such changes are necessary. These requirements
conform to the Commission's need for efficient information collection,
communication, and management within the energy industry. The
Commission has specific, objective support for the burden estimates
associated with the information collection requirements.
22. The Commission estimates that the NOPR will affect the burden
\16\ and cost \17\ as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\16\ ``Burden'' is the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. For
further explanation of what is included in the information
collection burden, refer to 5 CFR 1320.3.
\17\ The estimated hourly cost (salary plus benefits) provided
in this section is based on the salary figures for May 2021 posted
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the Utilities sector
(available at <a href="https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics3_221000.htm">https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics3_221000.htm</a>) and
scaled to reflect benefits using the relative importance of employer
costs for employee compensation from June 2021 (available at <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.nr0.htm">https://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.nr0.htm</a>). The hourly estimates for
salary plus benefits are: Computer and Information Systems Manager
(Occupation Code: 11-3021), $103.61; Computer and Information
Analysts (Occupation Code: 15-1120(1221), $67.99; Electrical
Engineer (Occupation Code: 7-2071), $72.15; Legal (Occupation Code:
23-0000), $142.25. The average hourly cost (salary plus benefits)
weighting all of the above skill sets evenly, is $96.50. We round it
to $97/hour.

Cases.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

23. For the purposes of estimating burden in this NOPR, in the
table above, we conservatively estimate the annual total of general
section 4 rate cases to be eight. This number is higher than the
Commission's average number of section 4 rate cases, but we created our
estimate to allow for additional rate case submissions.
24. FERC-545 is required to implement rates pursuant to sections 4,
5, and 16 of NGA, (15 U.S.C. 717 & 717o, Pub. L. 75-688, 52 Stat. 822
and 830). NGA sections 4, 5, and 16 authorize the Commission to inquire
into rate structures and methodologies and to set rates at a just and
reasonable level. Specifically, a natural gas pipeline must obtain
Commission authorization for all rates and charges made, demanded, or
received in connection with the transportation or sale of natural gas
in interstate commerce. The proposed modification as described in this
NOPR in Docket No. RM21-18-000 only impacts filings under section 4 of
the NGA. The collections associated with sections 5 and 16 remain
unchanged.

V. Environmental Analysis

25. The Commission is required to prepare an Environmental
Assessment or an Environmental Impact Statement for any action that may
have a significant adverse effect on the human environment.\18\ The
actions proposed to be taken here fall within categorical exclusions in
the Commission's regulations for rules regarding information gathering,
analysis, and dissemination, and for rules regarding sales, exchange,
and transportation of natural gas that require no construction of
facilities.\19\ Therefore, an environmental review is unnecessary and
has not been prepared in this rulemaking.

VI. Regulatory Flexibility Act

26. The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA) \20\ requires the
Commission to determine the effect of the NOPR on small entities. The
Commission intends to pose the least possible burden on all entities
both large and small.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\20\ 5 U.S.C. 601-612.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

27. The NOPR only applies to natural gas pipelines who file a
section 4 rate case. There are a total of 145 entities that may file a
rate change and may be impacted by the NOPR. The Small Business
Administration (SBA) defines a small entity in the category of,
``Pipeline Transportation of Natural Gas'' \21\ by entities with fewer
than $30 million of annual receipts. Out of the total number of
entities, only five are small entities (~3% of the total population).
We estimate the annual additional costs of filing a section 4 rate case
to be $9,700. We further estimate an average of eight responses per
year and conservatively estimates that one may be a small entity.
Therefore, this proposed rule does not pose a significant change to
small entities.
