SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FERC
uses the FERC Form No. 587 (‘‘Land
Description (Public Land States/NonPublic Land States (Rectangular or NonRectangular Survey System Lands in
Public Land States))’’; OMB Control
Number 1902–0145) to collect
information required by the statutory
provisions of Section 24 of the Federal
Power Act (FPA), (16 U.S.C. 818).
Applicants proposing hydropower
projects, or changes to existing projects
located on lands owned by the United
States are required to provide a
description of the U.S. lands affected, to
the Commission and Secretary of
Interior. FERC Form No. 587
consolidates the information required,
and identifies hydropower project
boundary maps associated with lands of
the United States. The Commission
verifies the accuracy of the information
supplied and coordinates with the
Bureau Land of Management State
Offices (BLM), so the U.S. lands can be
reserved as hydropower sites and
withdrawn from other uses. (When the
filer submits the FERC–587, the filer is
also required to submit exhibit drawings
(e.g., on aperture cards and/or electronic
files). The FERC–587 serves as a ‘table
of contents’ for the federal lands that are
shown in the drawings. The reporting
requirements and burdens related to the
preparation and submittal of the actual
drawings are included, as appropriate,
in: FERC–512 (Application for
Preliminary Permits; OMB Control No:
1902–0073), FERC–500 (Application for
License/Relicense for Water Projects
with Greater than 5 MW Capacity; OMB
Control No. 1902–0058), and FERC–505
(Application for License/Relicense for
Water Projects with Less then 5 MW
Capacity; OMB Control No. 1902–
0115).)
Action: The Commission is requesting
a three-year extension of the current
expiration date for the FERC–587.
Burden Statement: Public reporting
burden for this collection is estimated
at:
Number of
respondents

Number of
responses

The total estimated annual cost is
$12,500 (250 hours at $50/hour). The
estimated annual cost per respondent is
$50. [These figures are based on the
estimated median salary (adjusted for
inflation) for a civil engineering
technician, from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, Occupational Employment
Statistics.]
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
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
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,
