The
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–598
‘‘Determination for Entities Seeking
Exempt Wholesale Generator Status’’
(OMB No. 1902–0166) is used by the
Commission to implement the statutory
provisions of section 32 of the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 1935
(PUHCA), as amended by section 711 of
the Energy Policy Act of 1992, 16 U.S.C.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
an Exempt Wholesale Generator (EWG)
as an individual determined by the
Commission to be engaged directly or
indirectly through one or more affiliates,
and exclusively in the business of
owning and/or operating all or part of
eligible facilities and selling electric
energy at wholesale. An eligible facility
may include interconnecting
transmission facilities necessary to
effect wholesale power sales. The
Commission complements these filing
requirements in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR Part
365.
Action: The Commission is requesting
a three-year extension of the current
expiration date, with no changes to the
existing collection of data.
Burden Statement: Public reporting
burden for this collection is estimated
as:
Number of respondents annually
Number of responses per
respondent
Average burden hours per
response
Total annual burden hours

672
Estimated cost burden to respondents
is $35,073. (672 hours/2080 hours per
year times $108,558 per year average per
employee = $35,073.). The cost per
respondent is $393.
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
VerDate jul<14>2003

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
e.g. permitting electronic submission of
responses.
