Elimination of FERC Form No. 423

Tue, Nov 20 2007 11:00:00 GMT

In this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is proposing to amend its regulations to eliminate the FERC Form No. 423, Monthly Report of Cost and Quality of Fuels for Electric Plants. The Commission's infrequent use of the information no longer justifies the burden and cost of collecting it. Conversely, the Energy Information Administration has expressed a need for this information and, upon cessation of the Commission's collection, proposes to collect the information, as part of its newly proposed EIA923.

The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) on the natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by Texas Gas Transmission, LLC (Texas Gas) in the abovereferenced docket.
