SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission uses the FERC Form No.
556, Cogeneration and Small Power
Production, OMB Control Number
1902–0075, to implement the statutory
provisions in Federal Power Act (FPA)
section 3 (16 U.S.C. 792–828c) and
sections 201 and 210 of the Public
Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA)
of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2601). These statutes
authorize the Commission to encourage
cogeneration and small power
production and to prescribe such rules
as necessary in order to carry out these
statutory directives. Commission
regulations pertaining to FERC Form
No. 556 can be found in 18 CFR 131.80
and 18 CFR Part 292.
A primary objective of PURPA, as
indicated in section 2 of the FPA is the
conservation of energy through efficient
use of energy resources and facilities by
electric utilities. One means of
achieving this goal is to encourage
production of electric power by
cogeneration facilities which make use
of reject heat associated with
commercial or industrial processes, and
by small power production facilities
which use other wastes and renewable
resources as fuel. Congress, through
PURPA, established various regulatory
benefits to encourage the development
of small power production facilities and
