The
FERC–715 (‘‘Annual Transmission
Planning and Evaluation Report,’’ OMB
Control No. 1902–0171) is a mandatory
filing described at 18 CFR 141.300. The
FERC–715 must be submitted by each
transmitting utility that operates
integrated (that is, non-radial)
transmission facilities at or above 100
kilovolts. [An overview and instructions
for filing the FERC–715 are posted on
the FERC Web site at: https://
www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/eforms/form715/instructions.asp.]
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Section 213 (b) of the Federal Power
Act (FPA), as amended by the Energy
Policy Act of 1992, requires FERC to
collect, annually from transmitting
utilities, sufficient information about
their transmission systems to inform
potential transmission customers, state
regulatory authorities, and the public, of
available transmission capacity and
constraints. FERC–715 also supports the
Commission’s expanded responsibilities
under Sections 211, 212, 213(a), 304,
307(a), 309, and 311 of the FPA, as
amended, for reviewing reliability
issues, market structure relationships,
and in rate and other regulatory
proceedings.
Action: The Commission is requesting
a three-year extension of the current
reporting requirements, with no change.
Burden Statement: Public reporting
burden for this collection is estimated as
follows.

Note: These figures may not be exact, due
to rounding.
The total estimated annual cost
burden 1 to respondents is $1,806,026.90
{[(29,280 hrs.)/(2,080 hrs./yr.)] ×
($128,297 per yr.)}.
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.

The total estimated annual cost
burden to respondents is $5,304.58 [(86
hours/2,080 hours 2 per year) ×
$128,297 3 per year].
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
1 During its history, ‘‘FERC–912’’ has been known
by various ‘names’ and OMB control numbers.
Originally, FERC had wanted to include FERC–912
requirements in the FERC–556 ‘umbrella’ of
requirements. Because FERC–556 (‘‘Cogeneration
and Small Power Production;’’ OMB Control No.
1902–0075) was pending OMB review of another
rulemaking (in Docket No. RM05–36–000) prior to
the issuance of the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NOPR) in RM06–10, the Commission used a
temporary identifier of ‘‘FERC–912’’.
‘‘FERC–912’’ was originally assigned the OMB
Control No. 1902–0219 at the NOPR stage.
However, prior to issuance of the final rule in
Docket RM06–10, OMB Control No. 1902–0219 was
eliminated from OMB’s inventory.
FERC–556 (OMB Control No. 1902–0075) was
then approved in RM05–36, so FERC used the
‘‘FERC–912(556)’’ identifier in the Final Rule in
RM06–10. The Commission planned to transfer the
hours associated with ‘‘FERC–912(556)’’ in RM06–
10 to FERC–556. Page two of the OMB approval
(dated 2/23/2007) for ICR Reference Number
200611–1902–003 listed OMB Control No. 1902–
0237 as FERC–556.
Currently FERC–556 (OMB Control No. 1902–
0075) is pending OMB review, so this collection is
being called ‘‘FERC–912’’ and is being submitted
separately. FERC–556 is not a subject of this Notice.
2 Number of hours an employee works each year.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FERC-912 (``Cogeneration and Small Power
Production, PURPA Section 210(m) Regulations for Termination or
Reinstatement of Obligation to Purchase or Sell,'' OMB Control No.
1902-0237) \1\ covers the reporting requirements in 18 CFR Part 292.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ During its history, ``FERC-912'' has been known by various
`names' and OMB control numbers. Originally, FERC had wanted to
include FERC-912 requirements in the FERC-556 `umbrella' of
requirements. Because FERC-556 (``Cogeneration and Small Power
Production;'' OMB Control No. 1902-0075) was pending OMB review of
another rulemaking (in Docket No. RM05-36-000) prior to the issuance
of the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) in RM06-10, the
Commission used a temporary identifier of ``FERC-912''.
``FERC-912'' was originally assigned the OMB Control No. 1902-
0219 at the NOPR stage. However, prior to issuance of the final rule
in Docket RM06-10, OMB Control No. 1902-0219 was eliminated from
OMB's inventory.
FERC-556 (OMB Control No. 1902-0075) was then approved in RM05-
36, so FERC used the ``FERC-912(556)'' identifier in the Final Rule
in RM06-10. The Commission planned to transfer the hours associated
with ``FERC-912(556)'' in RM06-10 to FERC-556. Page two of the OMB
approval (dated 2/23/2007) for ICR Reference Number 200611-1902-003
listed OMB Control No. 1902-0237 as FERC-556.
Currently FERC-556 (OMB Control No. 1902-0075) is pending OMB
review, so this collection is being called ``FERC-912'' and is being
submitted separately. FERC-556 is not a subject of this Notice.

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
[[Page 47569]]
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.
