The estimated annual total cost to
respondents is $1,380,503 7,8,9
(including direct labor, overhead costs
to prepare the application, and
consultation to obtain specialized
advice in responding to and
implementing the certification
application).
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) training personnel to respond to an
information collection; (4) searching
data sources; (5) preparing and
reviewing the information collection;
and (6) 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 or 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

burden and cost estimates do not include
the cost of applying to become the ERO because that
application process and the resulting FERC
selection have been completed.
7 Per Order 672, the ERO will undergo a
performance assessment three years after
certification (July 2009) and every five years
thereafter. Therefore, the total figures for FTE (10),

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.

Secretary.

associated with doing the self-assessment have been
divided by 3 to provide average annual figures for
this notice.
The methodology for estimating the totals for the
3-year self assessment follows. Staff estimates that
the self assessment will take 6 months to complete.
In order for NERC to complete the work in half the
time, we assume that NERC must hire double the
workforce, so 10 contractors are used in the present
calculation. The $1,050,000 was taken directly from
NERC’s 2009 Business Plan and Budget.
