SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
Description
The information collection submitted
for OMB review contains the following:
1. Collection of Information: FERC–
603 ‘‘Critical Energy Infrastructure
Information.’’
2. Sponsor: Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission.
3. Control No.: 1902–0197.
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: The information is used by
the Commission to implement
procedures for gaining access to critical
energy infrastructure information (CEII)
that would not otherwise be available
under the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552). On February 21,
2003, the Commission issued Order No.
630 (68 FR 9857–9873), and then issued
subsequent Order Nos. 630–A (68 FR
46456–60), and 649 (69 FR 48386–91) to
address the appropriate treatment of
CEII in the aftermath of the September
11, 2001 terrorist attacks and to restrict
unrestrained general access due to the
ongoing terrorism threat. These steps
enable the Commission to keep sensitive
infrastructure information out of the
public domain, decreasing the
likelihood that such information could
be used to plan or execute terrorist
attacks. The process adopted in these
orders is a more efficient alternative for
handling request for previously public
documents than FOIA.
The Commission has defined CEII to
include information about existing or
proposed critical infrastructure that (i)
Relates to the production, generation,
transportation, transmission, or
distribution of energy; (ii) could be
useful to a person planning an attack on
critical infrastructure, (iii) is exempt
from mandatory disclosure under the
Freedom of Information Act, and (iv)
does not simply give the location of the
critical infrastructure. Critical
infrastructure means existing and
proposed systems and assets, whether
physical or virtual, the incapacity or
destruction of which would negatively
affect security, economic security,
public health or safety, or any
combination of those matters. A person
seeking access to CEII may file a request
for that information by providing
information about their identity and
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:22 May 07, 2008
Jkt 214001
reason for the need for the information.
Through this process, the Commission
is able to review the requester’s need for
the information against the sensitivity of
the information. The Commission
implements these requirements in 18
CFR 388.113 of its regulations.
5. Respondent Description: The
respondent universe currently
comprises all entities requesting access
to CEII information submitted to or
issued by the Commission.
6. Estimated Burden: 46 total hours,
182 respondents (average per year), 1
response per respondent, and .25 hours
per response (average).
7. Estimated Cost Burden to
respondents: The estimated total cost to
respondents is $3,646. The cost per
respondent = $18. (60 hours @ $61
hourly rate ÷ 200).
Statutory Authority: 15 U.S.C. 717, et seq.,
16 U.S.C. 791a, et seq., section 313(b) of the
Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 824 l(b) and
section 19(b) of the Natural Gas Act, 15
U.S.C. 717r(b).
