michael.miller@ferc.gov.
The
information collected under the
requirements of FERC Form 587 ‘‘Land
Description’’ (OMB No. 1902–0145) is
used by the Commission to implement
the statutory provisions of section 24 of
the Federal Power Act (FPA), (16 U.S.C.
818).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Applicants proposing hydropower
projects, or changes to existing projects
located on lands owned by the United
States are required to provide a
description of the U.S. lands affected, to
the Commission and to the Secretary of
Interior. FERC Form 587 consolidates
the information required, and identifies
hydropower project boundary maps
associated with lands of the United
States. The Commission verifies the
accuracy of the information supplied
and coordinates with the Bureau of
Land Management State Offices (BLM)
so the U.S. lands can be reserved as
hydropower sites and withdrawn from
other uses.
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 responses per
respondent
Average burden hours per
response
Total annual burden hours

Estimated cost burden to respondents
is $13,554. (250 hours/2080 hours per
year times $112,767 per year average per
employee). The cost per respondent is
$54.
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)

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the

technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology
e.g. permitting electronic submission of
responses.

IV, sections 401 and 402, Title V,
section 508 of the Natural Gas Policy
Act (Pub. L. 95–621). The information
collected under the requirements of
FERC–567 is used by the Commission to
obtain accurate data on pipeline
facilities. Specifically, the FERC–567
data is used in determining the
configuration and location of installed
pipeline interconnections and receipt
and delivery points; and developing and
evaluating alternatives to proposed
facilities as a means to mitigate
environmental impact of new pipeline
construction.
FERC–567 also contains valuable
information that can be used to assist
federal officials in maintaining adequate
natural gas service in times of national
emergency. The Commission
implements these filing requirements in
the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
under 18 CFR Parts 260 and 284,
§§ 260.8 and 284.13.
