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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–65B ‘‘Waiver
Notification’’ (OMB No. 1902–0217) is
used by the Commission to implement
the statutory provisions of the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 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. This intention was made clear in
section 1264 of the Energy Policy Act of
2005, 42 U.S.C. 16452. However, in 18
CFR 366.3(c) the Commission has
allowed for waivers from related
requirements for any holding company
with respect to one or more of the
following: (1) Single-state holding
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
expiration date.
Burden Statement: Public reporting
burden for this collection is estimated

Notice of Availability of Environmental
Assessment
October 8, 2008.
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended, and the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission’s (Commission)
regulations (18 CFR Part 380), the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed an
application for amendment of license
and has prepared an environmental
assessment (EA) regarding the licensee’s
request to amend the project license to
include the jurisdictional TurtleFlambeau Storage Reservoir as a project
feature of the Big Falls Project. The Big
Falls Project is located on the Flambeau
River in Rusk County, Wisconsin. This
EA concludes that the proposed action,
with recommended measures, would
not constitute a major Federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment.
Copies of the EA are available in the
Public Reference Room of the
Commission’s offices at 888 First Street,
NE., Room 1–A, Washington, DC
204265. The EA also may be viewed on
