Order No. 820

Final Rule

(Issued December 22, 2015)

    1. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is 
amending its regulations governing delegations of authority to the 
Director of the Office of Enforcement.\1\ These amendments will provide 
clarity and consistency regarding the authority delegated to the Office 
of Enforcement, by expressly delegating that office authority over FERC 
Form No. 552.\2\

I. Background

    2. The Commission has broad statutory authority to perform acts and 
make rules that are necessary or appropriate to carry out its statutory 
function.\3\ This includes the delegation of its statutory authority to 
staff members on routine matters, ``which in many cases represent 
nothing more than a ministerial judgment by the office director 
concerning procedural matters,'' to allow the Commission to focus on 
more complex and controversial tasks.\4\ The Commission has delegated 
certain of its authority in a series of orders beginning in 1978.\5\

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

    3. In 2007, the Commission issued Order No. 704, which created FERC 
Form No. 552. FERC Form No. 552, Annual Report of Natural Gas 
Transactions, collects transactional information from natural gas 
market participants. FERC Form No. 552 is codified in section 260.401 
of the Commission's regulations.\6\

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

II. Discussion

    4. Part 375, Subpart C, of the Commission's rules and regulations 
sets our delegations of authority to the various office directors, such 
as the Director of the Office of Enforcement. Section 375.311 
specifically includes delegations of authority to the Director of the 
Office of Enforcement. Section 375.311(r) includes the authority to 
deny or grant, in whole or in part, motions of extensions of time to 
file, or requests for the waiver of the requirements of the Form Nos, 
1, 1-F, 2, 2-A and 6, the Form 60, 61, 730 and Electric Quarterly 
Reports.\7\ Section 375.311 (s) includes the authority to provide 
notification if any of the above filings fails to comply with the 
applicable statutory requirements, and with all applicable Commission 
rules, regulations, and orders for which a waiver has not been granted, 
or, when appropriate, notify a party that a submission is 
acceptable.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 18 CFR 375.311(r).
    \8\ 18 CFR 375.311(s).

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

[[Page 81179]]

    5. Order No. 704 created the FERC Form No. 552 filing requirements. 
However, there is no delegated authority contained in the regulations 
similar to that found for the other forms administered by the Office of 
Enforcement. In order to create consistency among the delegations for 
forms administered by the Office of Enforcement, this rule amends 18 
CFR 375.311(r) and (s) to add FERC Form No. 552 to the list of forms 
included in the delegations to the Director of the Office of 
Enforcement.

III. Information Collection Statement

    6. Review by the Office of Management and Budget, pursuant to 
section 3507(d) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, is not required 
since this final rule does not contain new or modified information 
collection or recordkeeping requirements.

IV. Environmental Analysis

    7. 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. Part 380 of 
the Commission's regulations exempts certain actions from the 
requirement that an Environmental Analysis or Environmental Impact 
Statement be prepared. Included is an exemption for procedural, 
ministerial, or internal administrative actions. As this Final Rule 
falls within that exemption, issuance of the Rule does not represent a 
major federal action having a significant adverse effect on the human 
environment under the Commission's regulations implementing the 
National Environmental Policy Act, and, thus, does not require an 
Environmental Analysis or Environmental Impact Statement.

V. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    8. The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA) generally requires 
a description and analysis of Final Rules that will have significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Rules that 
are exempt from the notice and comment requirements of section 553(b) 
of the Administrative Procedure Act are exempt from the RFA 
requirements. This Final Rule concerns matters of internal agency 
procedure and, therefore, an analysis under the RFA is not required.

VII. Effective Date and Congressional Notification

    12. These regulations are effective January 28, 2016. This rule is 
exempt from the Congressional Review Act \9\ under section 804 (3) 
because it relates to ``agency management or personnel; or (C) any rule 
of agency organization, procedure, or practice that does not 
substantially affect the rights or obligations of non-agency parties.''
