Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 169 / Wednesday, September 2, 2009 / Notices
accordance with the FPA, the
Department of Energy Organization Act
(DOE Act), and EPAct 2005. Action: The
Commission is requesting a three-year
extension of the current expiration date,
with no change to the reporting
requirements.

Any transmission organization
approved by the Commission for
operation after January 29, 2007, that
has one or more organized electricity
markets (administered either by it or by
another entity), will be required to
comply with the FERC–732 reporting
requirements. Although it is difficult to
predict whether the Commission will
receive an application for, and approve,
a transmission organization in the
foreseeable future, the regulations,
reporting requirements, and burden of
FERC–732 merit continued renewal of
the OMB (Office of Management and
Budget) clearance. As a result, we are
including a ‘placeholder’ estimate of 1
respondent and 1 response annually for
the filing requirement. In addition, each
existing transmission organization
subject to Part 42 must make its
transmission planning and expansion
procedures and plans publicly available
(under 18 CFR 42.1(c)(4)) for an
estimated burden of 2 hours per
respondent.
The estimated total cost to
respondents is $71,491.35 [1,192 hours
divided by 2,080 hours 2 per year, times
$124,750 3 equals $71,491.35]. The
estimated cost per respondent is
$70,771.63 for new transmission
organizations, and $119.95 for existing
transmission organizations.
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 respondent’s cost estimate is
based on 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 burden estimate 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
respondent information collection
burden.
