The
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–510 ‘‘Application
for Surrender of Hydropower License’’
(OMB No. 1902–0068) is used by the
Commission to implement the statutory
provisions of sections 4(e), 6 and 13 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:

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,

Estimated cost burden to respondents is $4,861.00. (80 hours/2080

The reporting burden includes the total time, effort, or financial

The estimate of cost for respondents is based upon salaries for
