ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In compliance with the
requirements of section 3506(c)(2)(a) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(Pub. L. No. 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 August 9, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Copies of sample filings of
the proposed collection of information
can be obtained from the Commission’s
Web site (https://www.ferc.gov/docsfilings/elibrary.asp) or from the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, Attn:
Michael Miller, Office of the Executive
Director, ED–34, 888 First Street NE.,
Washington, DC 20426. Comments may
be filed either in paper format or
electronically. Those parties filing
electronically do not need to make a
paper filing. For paper filing, the
original and 14 copies of such
comments should be submitted to the
Secretary of the Commission, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426
and refer to Docket No. IC07–515–000.
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
for each screen. First time users will

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,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

michael.miller@ferc.gov.
The
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–515
‘‘Hydropower Licensing: Declaration of
Intention’’ (OMB No. 1902–0079) is
used by the Commission to implement
the statutory provisions of Part I,
Sections 23(b) of the Federal Power Act
16 U.S.C. 817. Section 23(b) authorized
the Commission to make a
determination as to whether it has
jurisdiction over a proposed
hydroelectric project. Section 23(b) also
requires that any person intending to
construct project works on a navigable
commerce clause water must file a
declaration of their intention with the
Commission. If the Commission finds
the proposed project will have an
impact on ‘‘interstate or foreign
commerce’’, then the person intending
to construct the project must obtain a
Commission license or exemption
before starting construction. Such sites
are generally on streams defined as U.S.
navigation waters, and over which the
Commission has jurisdiction under its
authority to regulate foreign and
interstate commerce. The information is
collected in the form of a written
application, declaring the applicant’s
intent and used by Commission staff to
research the jurisdictional aspects of the
project. This research includes
examining maps and land ownership
records to establish whether or not there
is Federal jurisdiction over the lands
and waters affected by the project. A
finding of non-jurisdictional by the
Commission eliminates a substantial
paperwork burden for the applicant who
might otherwise have to file for a license
or exemption application. The
Commission implements these filing
requirements in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR part 24.
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:

The estimated total cost to
respondents is $46,976 (800 hours
divided by 2,080 hours per employee
per year times $122,137 per year average
salary per employee. The cost per
respondent = $4,698.
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

The
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–511 ‘‘Application
for Transfer of License’’ (OMB No.
1902–0069) is used by the Commission
to implement the statutory provisions of
section 4(e) and 8 of the Federal Power
Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 792–828c.).
Section 4(e) authorizes the Commission
to issue licenses for the construction,
operation and maintenance of
reservoirs, powerhouses and
transmissions lines or other facilities
necessary for development and
improvement of navigation and for the
development, transmission, and
utilization of power from bodies of
water Congress has jurisdiction over.
Section 8 of the FPA provides that the
voluntary transfer of any license can
only be made with the written approval
of the Commission. Any successor to the
licensee may assign the rights of the
original licensee but is subject to all of
the conditions of the license. The
information filed with the Commission
is a mandatory requirement contained
in the format of a written application for
transfer of license, executed jointly by
the parties of the proposed transfer. The
transfer of a license may be occasioned
by the sale or merger of a licensed
hydroelectric project. It is used by the
Commission’s staff to determine the
qualifications of the proposed transferee
to hold the license, and to prepare the
transfer of the license order. The
Commission implements these filing
requirements in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR part 9.
Action: The Commission is requesting
a three-year extension of the current
