OMB Control Numbers for Commission Information Collection Requirements Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Department of Energy.

AGENCY:

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission amends its regulations to provide that Office of Management and Budget control numbers for Commission information collection requirements will be available on the Commissions website.
DATES: This rule will become effective December 3, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Introduction 1. Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 1 and Office of Management and Budgets OMB
implementing regulations at 5 CFR Part 1320, the Commission is required to display OMB control numbers and expiration dates of those control numbers on Commission information collections and forms. The Commission also provides OMB control numbers in its regulations at 18 CFR 389.101. This rule amends that regulation by providing that OMB control numbers for Commission information collections will henceforth no longer be provided in the Commissions regulations but instead will be provided on the Commissions website.
II. Discussion 2. The purpose of this rule is to ensure that the public has the most current OMB control numbers for Commission information collections.
Providing the OMB control numbers on the Commissions website is the most efficient and timely way to provide that information to the public. Therefore, rather than continually revising 18 CFR
389.101, the Commission will henceforth provide the public with the most up-to-date information on OMB
control numbers at the Information Collections page at https www.ferc.gov https www.ferc.gov/enforcement1 44

U.S.C. 3501.

III. Information Collection Statement 3. OMB approves certain information collection requirements imposed by agency rule.2 However, this rule does not contain any new or additional information collection requirements.
Therefore, compliance with OMBs regulations is not required.
IV. Environmental Analysis 4. 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.3
5. Part 380 of the Commissions regulations lists exemptions to the requirement to draft an Environmental Analysis or Environmental Impact Statement. Included is an exemption for procedural, ministerial, or internal administrative actions.4 Accordingly, this rulemaking is exempt from the requirement to draft such documents under that provision.
V. Regulatory Flexibility Act 6. The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 RFA 5 generally requires a description and analysis of final rules that will have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This rule concerns a modification of current Commission regulations and practices, by directing the public to where OMB control numbers are located. The Commission certifies that it will not have a significant economic impact upon participants in Commission proceedings. An analysis under the RFA
is therefore not required.

VII. Effective Date 10. The Commission is issuing this rule as a final rule without a period for public comment. Under 5 U.S.C.
553b3A, notice-and-comment rulemaking procedures are unnecessary for rules of agency organization, procedure, or practice. This rule is therefore exempt from notice-andcomment rulemaking procedures, because it concerns the Commissions procedures and practices. In particular, the rule alters the means by which the Commission will provide the control numbers assigned by OMB to the Commissions information collection requirements. The rule will not significantly affect regulated entities or the general public.
11. This rule is effective December 3, 2021.
