The
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–65 ‘‘Notification
of Holding Company Status’’ (OMB No.
1902–0218) is used by the Commission
to implement the statutory provisions of
the Public Utility Holding Company Act
of 2005 (PUHCA 2005). Among other
things, PUHCA 2005 was intended to
give the Commission access to books
and records relevant to costs incurred
by a public utility or natural gas
company which are necessary or
appropriate for the protection of utility
customers with respect to jurisdictional
rates. For the Commission to carry out
its rate regulation responsibilities, it
must know who the entities are that are
holding companies of jurisdictional
public utilities and natural gas
companies. The Commission obtains
this information through the FERC–65
filings.
The FERC–65 is a one-time
informational filing set out in the
Commission’s regulations 18 CFR 366.4
that must be submitted within 30 days
of becoming a holding company. The
information is required in no specific
format and consists of the identity of the
holding company and of the public
utilities and natural gas companies in
the holding company system and the
identity of service companies, including
special-purpose subsidiaries providing
non-power goods and services and the
identity of all affiliates and subsidiaries
and their corporate relationship to each
other. Filings may be submitted in
hardcopy or electronically through the
Commission’s eFiling system.
Action: The Commission is requesting
a three-year extension of the current
expiration date.
Burden Statement: Public reporting
burden for this collection is estimated
as:

The estimated total cost to
respondents is $5,468. [90 hours
divided by 2080 hours 1 per year, times
$126,384 2 equals $5,468.54]. The
average cost per respondent is $182.28.
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,
using 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
filing 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 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 information collection is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Commission; (2) the
accuracy of the Commission’s burden
estimate of the proposed information
collection, 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.

used by the Commission to implement
the statutory provisions of the Public

CFR 366.3(c) the Commission has
allowed for waivers from related

company systems; (2) holding
companies that own generating facilities
that total 100 MW or less in size and are
used fundamentally for their own load
or for sales to affiliated end-users; or (3)
investors in independent transmissiononly companies.
Entities meeting these criteria may file
a FERC–65B pursuant to the notification
procedures contained in 18 CFR 366.4
to obtain a waiver. Filings may be made
in hardcopy or electronically through
the Commission’s Web site.
Action: The Commission is requesting
a three-year extension of the current
