SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description
The information collection submitted
for OMB review contains the following:
1. Collection of Information: FERC
582 ‘‘Electric Fees and Annual
Charges.’’
2. Sponsor: Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission.
3. Control No. 1902–0132.
The Commission is now requesting
that OMB approve and extend the
expiration date for an additional three
years with no changes to the existing
collection. The information filed with
the Commission is mandatory.
4. Necessity of the Collection of
Information: Submission of the
information is necessary for the
Commission to carry out its
responsibilities in implementing the
statutory provisions of the Independent
Offices Appropriation Act of 1952
(IOAA) (31 U.S.C. 9701) which
authorizes the Commission to establish
fees for its services. In addition, the
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
1986 (OBRA) (42 U.S.C. 7178)
authorizes the Commission ‘‘to assess
and collect fees and annual charges in
any fiscal year in amounts equal to all
the costs incurred by the Commission in
that fiscal year.’’ In calculating annual
charges, the Commission first
determines the total costs of its electric
regulatory program and then subtracts
all electric regulatory program filing fee
collections to determine the total
collectible electric regulatory program
costs. It then uses the data submitted
under FERC information collection
requirement FERC–582 to determine the
total megawatt-hours of transmission of
electric energy in interstate commerce.
This is measured by the sum of the
megawatt-hours of all unbundled
transmission (including MWh delivered
in wheeling transactions and MWh
delivered in exchange transactions) and
the megawatt-hours of all bundled
wholesale power sales (to the extent
these later megawatt-hours were not
separately reported as unbundled
transmission). This information must be
reported to three (3) decimal places.
Public utilities and power marketers
subject to these annual charges must
submit FERC–582 to the Secretary of the
Commission by April 30 of each year.
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
The Commission issues bills for annual
charges, and public utilities and power
marketers then must pay the charges
within 45 days of the Commission’s
issuance of the bill.
The Commission’s staff uses
companies’ financial information filed
under waiver provisions to evaluate
requests for a waiver or exemption of
the obligation to pay a fee for an annual
charge. The Commission implements
these filing requirements in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR
part 381, sections 381.108, and 381.302
and part 382, section 382.201(c).
5. Respondent Description: The
respondent universe currently
comprises 125 companies (on average)
subject to the Commission’s
jurisdiction.
6. Estimated Burden: 500 total hours,
125 respondents (average), 1 response
per respondent, and 4 hours per
response (rounded off and average
time).
7. Estimated Cost Burden to
Respondents: 500 hours/2080 hours per
years × $122,137 per year = $ 29,360.
The cost per respondent is equal to
$235.
Statutory Authority: Statutory provisions
of sections Independent Offices
Appropriation Act of 1952 (IOAA) (31 U.S.C.
9701) which authorizes the Commission to
establish fees for its services. In addition, the
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986
(OBRA) (42 U.S.C. 7178) authorizes the
Commission ‘‘to assess and collect fees and
annual charges in any fiscal year in amounts
equal to all the costs incurred by the
Commission in that fiscal year.’’

opposition to such blanket approvals by
the deadline above, Bethlehem is
authorized to issue securities and

appropriate for such purposes.
The Commission reserves the right to
require a further showing that neither
public nor private interests will be
adversely affected by continued
approvals of Bethlehem’s issuance of
