[Docket No. IC20-10-000]


Commission Information Collection Activities (FERC Form Nos. 2 
and 2-A); Comment Request; Extension; Errata Notice

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, DOE.

ACTION: Notice of information collection; errata notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice corrects the 60-day notice published on April 30, 
2020 (85 FR 23954), 30-day notice published on July 20, 2020 (85 FR 
43831), and the errata notice published on September 14, 2020 (85 FR 
56597).

DATES: Comments for the notice of information collection, were due 
October 14, 2020 (85 FR 56597).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: FERC Form No. 2, Annual Report for Major Natural Gas 
Companies, and FERC Form No. 2-A, Annual Report for Non-Major Natural 
Gas Companies.
    OMB Control Nos.: 1902-0028 (FERC Form No. 2), and 1902-0030 (FERC 
Form No. 2-A).
    This notice replaces and corrects the 60-day notice published on 
April 30, 2020 (85 FR 23954), 30-day notice published on July 20, 2020 
(85 FR 43831) and the errata notice published on September 14, 2020 (85 
FR 56597). No public comments were received on either the 60-day notice 
or the 30-day notice.
    The burden and cost estimates are being corrected to remove an 
erroneous double entry representing the industry burden of preparing 
and submitting in XBRL carried over from RM19-12 (approved by OMB in 
September 2019). The Commission is correcting the estimates for the 
annual public reporting burden and cost \1\ for the information 
collections as shown in the table pertaining to the rows for both Form 
Nos. 2 and 2-A labelled ``Burden to Prepare and Submit in XBRL 
(represented using the same number of respondents and responses 
normally received annually).'' The burden hours per response for FERC 
Form No. 2 are being corrected for a total of 1,671.6 burden hours 
(1,629 burden hours for the reporting requirements plus 42.66 burden 
hours for the XBRL implementation and maintenance). These corrections 
remove an erroneous double entry of 42.66 hours for the XBRL 
implementation and development requirements. In addition, the burden 
hours per response for FERC Form No. 2-A are being similarly corrected 
for a total of 296 burden hours (253 burden hours for the reporting 
requirement plus 42.66 burden hours for the XBRL implementation and 
maintenance).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Commission staff believes the FERC FTE (full-time 
equivalent) average cost for wages plus benefits is representative 
of the corresponding cost for the industry respondents. Based upon 
the FERC's 2019 average cost for salary plus benefits, the average 
hourly cost is $80/hour.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In summary, the existing row pertaining to the ``Burden to Comply 
with the Filing Requirement'' inadvertently included the additional 
burden related to XBRL implementation and maintenance that was also 
listed in a separate row. Accordingly, to correct this erroneous double 
entry, we are removing 42.66 burden hours from the row titled ``Burden 
to Comply with Filing Requirement'' and from the total burden hours for 
each response for FERC Form Nos. 2 and 2-A.

    Dated: March 31, 2021.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
