SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–716 ‘‘Good Faith
Request for Transmission Service and
Response by Transmitting Utility Under
Sections 211(a) and 213(a) of the
Federal Power Act’’ (OMB No. 1902–
0170) is used by the Commission to
implement the statutory provisions of
sections 211 and 213 of the Federal
Power Act (FPA) as amended and added
by the Energy Policy Act 1992. The
information is not filed with the
Commission, however, the request and
PO 00000

response may be analyzed as a part of
a section 211 proceeding. This
collection of information covers the
information that must be contained in
the request and in the response.
The Energy Policy Act of 1992
amended section 211 of the FPA and
expanded the Commission’s authority to
order transmission service. Under the
revised section 211, the Commission
may order transmission services if it
finds that such action would be in the
public interest, would not unreasonably
impair the continued reliability of
electric systems affected by the order,
and would meet the requirements of
amended section 211 of the FPA.
The Commission’s policy statement in
Public Law 93–3, Policy Statement
Regarding Good Faith Requests for
Transmission Services and Responses
by Transmitting Utilities Under Sections
211(a) and 213(a) of the Federal Power
Act, as amended, implemented a data
exchange between a transmission
requester and a transmitting utility prior
to the submission of section 211 request
with the Commission. Components of
the data exchange are identified in the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 18
CFR 2.20. The general policy sets forth
standards by which the Commission
determines whether and when a valid
good faith request for transmission has
been made under section 211 of the
FPA. In developing the standards, the
Commission sought to encourage an
open exchange of information with a
reasonable degree of specificity and
completeness between the party
requesting transmission services and the
transmitting utility. As a result, twelve
components of a good faith estimate are
identified under 18 CFR 2.20.
Information in the data exchange is
not filed as noted above with the
Commission, unless negotiations
between the transmission requestor and
the transmitting utility have not been
successful and the transmission
requestor files a section 211 request
(FERC–716A, 1902–0168) with the
Commission. The request and response
may be analyzed by the Commission as
part of the section 211 proceeding.
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:

Estimated cost burden to respondents
is $5,421. (800 hours/2080 hours per
year times $112,767 per year average per
employee = $43,372). The cost per
respondent is $5,421.00.
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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The information collected under the
requirements of FERC-716 ``Good Faith Request for Transmission Service
and Response by Transmitting Utility Under Sections 211(a) and 213(a)
of the Federal Power Act'' (OMB No. 1902-0170) is used by the
Commission to implement the statutory provisions of sections 211 and
213 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) as amended and added by the Energy
Policy Act 1992. The information is not filed with the Commission,
however, the request and response may be analyzed as a part of a
section 211 proceeding. This collection of information covers the
information that must be contained in the request and in the response.
The Energy Policy Act of 1992 amended section 211 of the FPA and
expanded the Commission's authority to order transmission service.
Under the revised section 211, the Commission may order transmission
services if it finds that such action would be in the public interest,
would not unreasonably impair the continued reliability of electric
systems affected by the order, and would meet the requirements of
amended section 211 of the FPA.
The Commission's policy statement in Public Law 93-3, Policy
Statement Regarding Good Faith Requests for Transmission Services and
Responses by Transmitting Utilities Under Sections 211(a) and 213(a) of
the Federal Power Act, as amended, implemented a data exchange between
a transmission requester and a transmitting utility prior to the
submission of section 211 request with the Commission. Components of
the data exchange are identified in the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), 18 CFR 2.20. The general policy sets forth standards by which
the Commission determines whether and when a valid good faith request
for transmission has been made under section 211 of the FPA. In
developing the standards, the Commission sought to encourage an open
exchange of information with a reasonable degree of specificity and
completeness between the party requesting transmission services and the
transmitting utility. As a result, twelve components of a good faith
estimate are identified under 18 CFR 2.20.
Information in the data exchange is not filed as noted above with
the Commission, unless negotiations between the transmission requestor
and the transmitting utility have not been successful and the
transmission requestor files a section 211 request (FERC-716A, 1902-
0168) with the Commission. The request and response may be analyzed by
the Commission as part of the section 211 proceeding.
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:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimated cost burden to respondents is $5,421. (800 hours/2080
hours per year times $112,767 per year average per employee = $43,372).
The cost per respondent is $5,421.00.
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,

(4) training personnel to respond to a collection of information; (5)

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

utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the

of information technology e.g. permitting electronic submission of
responses.
