The estimated total cost to
respondents is $21,516. (412 hours
divided by 2,080 hours per year per
employee times $108,558 per year
average per employee = $21,516.) The
cost per respondent is $13.
The reporting burden includes the
total time, effort, or financial resources
expended to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
including: (1) Reviewing instructions;
(2) developing, acquiring, installing, and
utilizing technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating,
verifying, processing, maintaining,
disclosing and providing information;
(3) adjusting the existing ways to
comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; (4)
training personnel to respond to a
collection of information; (5) searching
data sources; (6) completing and
reviewing the collection of information;
and (7) transmitting, or otherwise
disclosing the information.
The estimate of cost for respondents
is based upon salaries for professional
and clerical support, as well as direct
and indirect overhead costs. Direct costs
include all costs directly attributable to
providing this information, such as
administrative costs and the cost for
information technology. Indirect or
overhead costs are costs incurred by an
organization in support of its mission.
These costs apply to activities which
benefit the whole organization rather
than any one particular function or
activity.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the Commission,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
the agency’s estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology

Activities, Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Extension
January 7, 2005.
Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Notice of proposed information
collection and request for comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In compliance with the
requirements of section 3506(c)(2)(a) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(Public Law 104–13), the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission) is
soliciting public comment on the
specific aspects of the information
collection described below.
DATES: Comments on the collection of
information are due by March 14, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed
collection of information can be
obtained from the Commission’s Web
site, https://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/
hard-fil-elec.asp, or click on
‘‘Documents and Filing’’, ‘‘Hardcopy
filing’’ and then ‘‘Electric’’. Comments
may be filed either in paper format or
electronically. Those parties filing
electronically do not need to make a
paper filing. For paper filings, the
original and 14 copies of such
comments should be submitted to the
Office of the Secretary, Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426 and
refer to Docket No. IC05–566–000.
Documents filed electronically via the
Internet must be prepared in
WordPerfect, MS Word, Portable
Document Format, or ASCII format. To
file the document, access the
Commission’s Web site at https://
www.ferc.gov and click on ‘‘Make an Efiling,’’ and then follow the instructions

automatic acknowledgement to the
sender’s e-mail address upon receipt of
comments.
All comments may be viewed, printed
or downloaded remotely via the Internet
through FERC’s homepage using the
eLibrary link. For user assistance,
contact FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or
toll-free at (866) 208–3676 or for TTY,

michael.miller@ferc.gov.
The
information collected under the
requirements of FERC 566 ‘‘Annual
Report of a Utility’s Twenty Largest
Purchasers’’ (OMB No. 1902–0114) is
used by the Commission to implement
the statutory provisions of section 305
of the Federal Power Act (FPA), (16
U.S.C. 825d), as amended by Title II,
section 211 of the Public Utility
Regulatory Policies Act of 1978
(PURPA). FPA section 305—Officials
Dealing in Securities; Interlocking
Directorates—defines the annual
reporting requirements for public utility
officers and directors to report office
and director positions they hold with,
among other entities, a public utility’s
top twenty customers of electric energy.
FPA section 305(c)(2) states ‘‘each
public utility shall publish a list,
pursuant to rules prescribed by the
Commission * * *.’’ This statutory
requirement to publish the customer’s
list allows the public the opportunity to
compare the customers listed with the
interlocking directorate information
filed in FERC–561 (1902–0099), by
public utility officers and directors, for
identification of positions where the
relationship may be employed, for
example to the detriment of the utility,
or the public interest. The required
public utility filers, the necessary filing
information, the requirement to publish
the information and the filing deadline
are all specifically mandated by the
FPA. The Commission is not
empowered to amend or waive these
statutory requirements. Requirements
the Commission has the authority to
amend, such as the filing format and the
numbers of required copies are found at
18 CFR 46.3.
