the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(Pub. L. 104–13), the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission) is
soliciting public comment on the
specific aspects of the information

The
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–583 ‘‘Annual
Kilowatt Generating Report (Annual
Charges)’’ (OMB No. 1902–0136) is used
by the Commission to implement the
statutory provisions of section 10(e) of
the Federal Power Act (FPA), part I, 16
U.S.C. 803(e) which requires the
Commission to collect annual charges
from hydropower licensees for, among
other things, the cost of administering
part I of the FPA and for the use of
United States dams. In addition, the
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
1986 (OBRA) authorizes the
Commission to ‘‘assess and collect fees
and annual charges in any fiscal year in
amounts equal to all of the costs
incurred by the Commission in that
fiscal year.’’ The information is
collected annually and used to
determine the amounts of the annual
charges to be assessed licensees for
reimbursable government administrative
costs and for the use of government
dams. The Commission implements
these filing requirements in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR
part 11.
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 $72,792. (1,198 hours/2,080 hours per
year times $126,384 per year average per
employee = $72,792). The cost per
respondent is $122 (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

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

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
‘‘Applications for Authorization of
Issuance of Securities.’’
Under Federal Power Act (FPA)
section 204, 16 U.S.C. 824c:

respect of any security of another person,
unless and until, and then only to the extent
that, upon application by the public utility,
the Commission by order authorized such
issue or assumption of the liability. The
Commission shall make such order if it finds
that such issue or assumption (a) is for lawful
object, within the corporate purposes of the
applicant and compatible with the public
interest, which is necessary or appropriate
for or consistent with the proper performance
by the applicant of service as a public utility
and which will not impair its ability to
perform that service, and (b) is reasonably
necessary or appropriate for such
purposes.* * *
The Commission uses the information
contained in filings to determine its
acceptance and/or rejection for granting
applications for authorization to either
issue securities or to assume an
obligation or liability by the public
utilities and their licensees who make
these applications.
The Commission implements this
statute through its regulations, which
are found at 18 CFR Part 34; sections
