SUPPLEMENTARY 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

[[Page 57345]]

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 theses 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:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of Average burden
Number of respondents annually responses per hours per Total annual
respondent response burden hours
(1) (2) (3) (1) x (2) x (3)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
599.................................................. 1 2 1,198 h
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Estimated cost burden to respondents is $72,792. (1,198 hours/2,080
hours per year times $126,384 per year average per empl oyee =
$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 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.
