SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
information collected under the
requirements of FERC Form 80
‘‘Licensed Hydropower Development
Recreation Report’’ (OMB Control No.
1902–0106) is used by the Commission
to implement the statutory provisions of
sections 4(a), 10(a), 301(a), 304 and 309
of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16
U.S.C. sections 797, 803, 825c and 8254.
The authority for the Commission to
collect this information comes from
section 10(a) of the FPA which requires
the Commission to be responsible for
ensuring that hydro projects subject to
its jurisdiction are consistent with the
comprehensive development of the
nation’s waterway for recreation and
other beneficial public uses. In the
interest of fulfilling these objectives, the
Commission expects licensees subject to
its jurisdiction, to recognize the
resources that are affected by their
activities and to play a role in protecting
such resources.
FERC Form 80 is a report on the use
and development of recreational
facilities at hydropower projects
licensed by the Commission.
Applications for amendments to
licenses and/or changes in land rights
frequently involve changes in resources
available for recreation. Commission
staff utilizes FERC Form 80 data when
analyzing the adequacy of existing
public recreational facilities and in the
amendment review process to help
determine the impact of such changes.
In addition, the Commission’s regional
office staff uses the FERC Form 80 data
when conducting inspections of
licensed projects. The Commission’s
inspectors use the data in evaluating
compliance with various license
conditions and in identifying
recreational facilities at hydropower
projects.
The data required to be filed is
specified by 18 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR 8.11
and 141.14.
The FERC Form 80 has been revised
to facilitate greater ease to respondents
in providing the information. First,
FERC Form 80 has been updated to
eliminate data concerning the nearest
city and population, since Commission
staff can access the information from
E:\FR\FM\16APN1.SGM
16APN1
18968
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 72 / Monday, April 16, 2007 / Notices
other sources. Second, Commission staff
has clarified the definitions so
respondents have a better understanding
of the information to be provided.
Third, resource data has been updated
to include FERC approved recreational
sites. Finally a new field has been added
so that respondents can identify the
method used for collecting the data.
Action: The Commission is requesting
reinstatement and a three-year approval
of the information collection with the
changes noted above.
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

(3)
(1)x(2)x(3)

cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Estimated cost burden to respondents
is $70,464. (1,200 hours/2,080 hours per
year times $122,137 per year average per
employee = $70,464). The cost per
respondent is $176 (rounded off).
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,

technological collection techniques or
