13536
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 50 / Thursday, March 13, 2008 / Notices
of the Federal Power Act (FPA) 16
U.S.C. sections 797(e), 799 and 806.
Section 4(e) gives the Commission
authority to issue licenses for the
purposes of constructing, operating and
maintaining dams, water conduits,
reservoirs, powerhouses, transmissions
lines or other power project works
necessary or convenient for developing
and improving navigation,
transmissions and utilization of power
over which Congress has jurisdiction.
Section 6 gives the Commission the
authority to prescribe the conditions of
licenses including the revocation or
surrender of the license. Section 13
defines the Commission’s authority to
delegate time periods for when a license
must be terminated if project
construction has not begun. Surrender
of a license may be desired by a licensee
when a licensed project is retired or not
constructed or natural catastrophes have
damaged or destroyed the project
facilities. The information collected
under the designation FERC–510 is in
the form of a written application for
surrender of a hydropower license. The
information is used by Commission staff
to determine the broad impact of such
surrender. The Commission will issue a
notice soliciting comments from the
public and other agencies and conduct
a careful review of the prepared
application before issuing an order for
Surrender of a License. The order is the
result of an analysis of the information
produced, i.e., economic, environmental
concerns, etc., which are examined to
determine if the application for
surrender is warranted. The order
implements the existing regulations and
is inclusive for surrender of all types of
hydropower licenses issued by FERC
and its predecessor, the Federal Power
Commission. The Commission
implements these mandatory filing
requirements in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) under 18 CRF 6.1–
6.4.
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 $4,861.00. (80 hours/2080 hours per
year times $126,384 per year average per
employee = $4,861.00). The cost per
respondent is $608.00.
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
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Abstract: The information collected
under the requirements of FERC–512,
‘‘Application for Preliminary Permit’’
(OMB No. 1902–0073) is used by the
Commission to implement the statutory
provisions of Sections 4(f), 5 and 7 of
the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C.
797, 798 & 800. The purpose of
obtaining a preliminary permit is to
maintain priority of the application for
a license for a hydropower facility while
the applicant conducts surveys to
prepare maps, plans, specifications and
estimates; conducts engineering,
economic and environmental feasibility
studies; and making financial
arrangements. The conditions under
which the priority will be maintained
are set forth in each permit. During the
term of the permit, no other application
for a preliminary permit or application
for a license submitted by another party
can be accepted. The term of the permit
is three years. The information collected
under the designation FERC–512 is in
the form of a written application for a
preliminary permit which is used by
Commission staff to determine an
applicant’s qualifications to hold a
preliminary permit, review the
proposed hydro development for
feasibility and to issue a notice of the
application in order to solicit public and
agency comments. The Commission
implements these mandatory filing
requirements in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR 4.31–
.33, 4.81–.83.
