The
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–585 ‘‘Reporting
of Electric Energy Shortages and
Contingency Plans under PURPA’’
(OMB No. 1902–0138) is used by the
Commission to implement the statutory
provisions of section 206 of the Public
Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1979
(PURPA) Public Law 95–617, 92 Stat.
3117. Section 206 of PURPA amended
the Federal Power Act (FPA) by adding
a new subsection (g) to section 202,
under which the Commission by rule,
was to require each public utility to (1)
report to the Commission and
appropriate state regulatory authorities
of any anticipated shortages of electric
energy or capacity which would affect
the utility’s capability to serve its
wholesale customers; and (2) report to
the Commission and any appropriate
state regulatory authority contingency
plan that would outline what
circumstances might give rise to such
occurrences.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
E:\FR\FM\29JAN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 18 / Thursday, January 29, 2009 / Notices
In Order No. 575, the Commission
modified the reporting requirements in
18 CFR 294.101(b) to provide that, if a
public utility includes in its rates
schedule, provisions that: (a) During
electric energy and capacity shortages it
will treat firm power wholesale
customers without undue
discrimination or preference; and (b) it
will report any modifications to its
contingency plan for accommodating
shortages within 15 days to the
appropriate state regulatory agency and
to the affected wholesale customers,
then the utility need not file with the
Commission an additional statement of
contingency plan for accommodating
such shortages. This revision merely
changed the reporting mechanism; the
public utility’s contingency plan would
be located in its filed rate rather than in
a separate document.
In Order No. 659, the Commission
modified the reporting requirements in
18 CFR 294.101(e) to provide that the
means by which public utilities must
comply with the requirements to report
shortages and anticipated shortages is to
submit this information electronically
using the Office of Electric Reliability’s
pager system at emergency@ferc.gov in
lieu of submitting an original and two
copies with the Secretary of the
Commission.
The Commission uses the information
to evaluate and formulate an
appropriate option for action in the
event an unanticipated shortage is
reported and/or materializes. Without

FERC data collection (FERC–585)
this information, the Commission and
State agencies would be unable to: (1)
Examine and approve or modify utility
actions, (2) prepare a response to
anticipated disruptions in electric
energy, and (3) ensure equitable
treatment of all public utility customers
under the shortage situations. The
Commission implements these filing
requirements in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR Part
294.
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
at:

Estimated annual cost to respondents
is $4,450.78 (73.25 hours/2,080 hours
per year times $126,384 per year average
per employee = $4,450.78).
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.
