The
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–520 ‘‘Application
for Authority to Hold Interlocking
Directorate Positions’’ (OMB No. 1902–
0083) is used by the Commission to
implement the statutory provisions of
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
section 305 of the Federal Power Act
(FPA) as amended by Title II, section
211 of the Public Utility Regulatory
Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) (16 U.S.C.
825d). Section 305(b) makes the holding
of certain defined interlocking corporate
positions unlawful unless the
Commission has authorized the
interlocks to be held and, requires the
applicant to show in a form and manner
as prescribed by the Commission, that
neither public nor private interests will
be adversely affected by the holding of
the position.
The Commission implements these
provisions through its filing
requirements in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) 18 CFR part 45. The
information required under part 45
generally identifies the applicant,
describes the various interlocking
positions the applicant seeks
authorization to hold, provides
information on the applicant’s financial
interests, other officers and directors of
the firms involved, and the nature of the
business relationships among the firms.
Two types of FERC–520 applications
are provided for, that which is described
in 18 CFR 45.8 as a ‘‘full’’ application
and that which is described in 18 CFR
45.9 as an ‘‘informational’’ application
for automatic authorization. Section
45.8 ‘‘full’’ applications are made by (1)
An officer or director of more than one
public utility; (2) an officer or director
of a public utility and of a public utility
securities underwriter; or (3) an officer
or director of a public utility and of an
electrical equipment supplier to that
utility. Section 45.9 ‘‘informational
applications’’ are made by (1) An officer
or director of two or more public
utilities where the same holding
company owns, directly or indirectly,
wholly or in part, the other public
utility; (2) an officer or director of two
public utilities, if one utility is owned,
wholly or in part, by the other; or (3) an
officer or director of more than one
public utility, if such person is already
authorized under Part 45 to hold
different positions where the interlock
involves affiliated public utilities.
Without this information collection,
the Commission and the public would
not be able to inquire into and
determine whether public or private
interests will be adversely affected by
the holding of such positions.
Under the current OMB authorization,
the Commission was allowing the filing
of FERC–520 in hardcopy and/or
diskette/CD. However, through RM07–
16–000, implemented March 1, 2008,
the electronic filing of FERC–520 filings
is also accepted through the
Commission’s eFiling system.
Action: The Commission is requesting
a three-year extension of the current
expiration date.
Burden Statement: The two types of
interlocking directorate applications, a
‘‘full application’’ pursuant to 18 CFR
45.8 and the much more abbreviated
‘‘informational application’’ pursuant to
18 CFR 45.9 are represented separately
here. Public reporting burden for each is
estimated as:

The estimated total cost to
respondents is $1,487,199 [24,476 hours
divided by 2080 hours 1 per year, times
$126,384 2 which equals $1,487,199].
The cost per respondent is $1,603. The
increase in the estimated total cost over
what was reported in 2005 is due to the
informational filings not being included
in earlier estimates. 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,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description
The information collection submitted
for OMB review contains the following:
1. Collection of Information: FERC
Form 73 ‘‘Oil Pipeline Service Life
Data’’.
2. Sponsor: Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission.
3. Control No. 1902–0019.
The Commission is now requesting
that OMB approve with a three-year
extension of the expiration date, 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 to enable the
Commission to carry out its
responsibilities in implementing the
statutory provisions of the Department
of Energy Organization Act, and
Executive Order No. 12009, 42 FR
(September 13, 1977). The Commission
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4703

has authority over interstate pipelines as
stated in the Interstate Commerce Act,
49 U.S.C. 6501 et al. As part of the
information necessary for the
subsequent investigation and review of
an oil pipeline company’s proposed
depreciation rates, the pipeline
companies are required to provide
public service life data as part of their
data submission if the proposed
depreciation rates are based on the
remaining physical life calculations.
This service life data is submitted on
FERC Form 73.
The scope of the Commission’s
jurisdiction over oil pipelines includes
the authority to regulate their rates and
charges for transportation of oil in
interstate commerce, and the authority
to establish valuations. Oil pipeline
companies are required to submit
depreciation information pursuant to 1–
8(b)(2) and 1–8(b)(3) of the General
Instructions found at 18 CFR Part 352 of
the Commission’s regulations. These
instructions require oil pipeline carriers
to compute percentage rate studies for
their depreciable property accounts, and
to maintain records as to the service life
and net salvage value of their property
and property retirements.
The Commission uses the information
submitted on FERC Form 73 to conduct
depreciation rate investigations of oil
pipelines. The Commission also uses
the information to determine
appropriate oil pipeline service lives
and book depreciation rates. Oil
pipeline companies use book
depreciation rates to compute the
depreciation portion of their operating
expenses when determining their cost of
service. The Commission implements
these requirements in 18 CFR 357.3 of
its regulations.
5. Respondent Description: The
respondent universe currently
comprises on average 2 respondents
subject to the Commission’s
jurisdiction. The Commission estimates
that it will receive annually on average
2 filings per year.
6. Estimated Burden: 80 total hours, 2
respondents (average per year), 1
response per respondent, and 40 hours
per response (average).
7. Estimated Cost Burden to
respondents: The estimated total cost to
respondents is $4861. (80 hours ÷ 2080
hours per year × $126,384)
Statutory Authority: Sections 306 and 402
of the Department of Energy Organization
Act, Pub. L. 95–91, 42 7155 and 7172,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The information collected under the
requirements of FERC-520 ``Application for Authority to Hold
Interlocking Directorate Positions'' (OMB No. 1902-0083) is used by the
Commission to implement the statutory provisions of section 305 of the
Federal Power Act (FPA) as amended by Title II, section 211 of the
Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) (16 U.S.C.
825d). Section 305(b) makes the holding of certain defined interlocking
corporate positions unlawful unless the Commission has authorized the
interlocks to be held and, requires the applicant to show in a form and
manner as prescribed by the Commission, that neither public nor private
interests will be adversely affected by the holding of the position.
The Commission implements these provisions through its filing
requirements in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 18 CFR part 45.
The information required under part 45 generally identifies the
applicant, describes the various interlocking positions the applicant
seeks authorization to hold, provides information on the applicant's
financial interests, other officers and directors of the firms
involved, and the nature of the business relationships among the firms.
Two types of FERC-520 applications are provided for, that which is
described in 18 CFR 45.8 as a ``full'' application and that which is
described in 18 CFR 45.9 as an ``informational'' application for
automatic authorization. Section 45.8 ``full'' applications are made by
(1) An officer or director of more than one public utility; (2) an
officer or director of a public utility and of a public utility
securities underwriter; or (3) an officer or director of a public
utility and of an electrical equipment supplier to that utility.
Section 45.9 ``informational applications'' are made by (1) An officer
or director of two or more public utilities where the same holding
company owns, directly or indirectly, wholly or in part, the other
public utility; (2) an officer or director of two public utilities, if
one utility is owned, wholly or in part, by the other; or (3) an
officer or director of more than one public utility, if such person is
already authorized under Part 45 to hold different positions where the
interlock involves affiliated public utilities.
Without this information collection, the Commission and the public
would not be able to inquire into and determine whether public or
private interests will be adversely affected by the holding of such
positions.
Under the current OMB authorization, the Commission was allowing
the filing of FERC-520 in hardcopy and/or diskette/CD. However, through
RM07-16-000, implemented March 1, 2008, the electronic filing of FERC-
520 filings is also accepted through the Commission's eFiling system.
Action: The Commission is requesting a three-year extension of the
current expiration date.
Burden Statement: The two types of interlocking directorate
applications, a ``full application'' pursuant to 18 CFR 45.8 and the
much more abbreviated ``informational application'' pursuant to 18 CFR
45.9 are represented separately here. Public reporting burden for each

$1,487,199]. The cost per respondent is $1,603. The increase in the
estimated total cost over what was reported in 2005 is due to the
informational filings not being included in earlier estimates. The
reporting burden includes the total time, effort, or financial

acquiring, installing, using technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, verifying, processing, maintaining, disclosing

The cost estimate 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 information
collection is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of

including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used to
calculate the reporting burden; and (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected.

Secretary.
