Summary
FERC is asking for public comments to extend a rule that helps natural gas pipelines and electric companies share important info to keep energy flowing smoothly. This extension keeps the current rules with no changes and lasts three more years. If you’re involved in energy transmission, your input matters by July 13, 2026, but there’s no new cost or paperwork increase.

Estimated Annual Burden and Costs to Industry
FERC estimates annual reporting burden for FERC-923 as follows: Public utility transmission operators — 156 respondents, 12 responses each, 0.5 hours per response, totaling 936 hours and $95,472 in annual cost (about $612 per respondent). Interstate natural gas pipelines — 189 respondents, 12 responses each, 0.5 hours per response, totaling 1,134 hours and $115,668 in annual cost (about $612 per respondent). The total annual burden is 2,070 hours for 4,140 responses and a total annual cost of $211,140. FERC used a 2026 average salary plus benefits of $213,003 per FTE (or $102 per hour) to estimate costs.
Three‑Year Extension of FERC‑923
If you operate a natural gas pipeline or an electric transmission utility, FERC is extending the information-collection rule FERC-923 for three years with no changes. The rule continues to allow voluntary sharing of non-public operational information between pipelines and transmission operators, and that information is not submitted to FERC.
