emerging issues affecting wholesale and interstate energy markets. To 
enable OEPI to carry out its functions as efficiently as possible, this 
Final Rule adds a new section to the Commission's regulations, 18 CFR 
375.315, to delegate to OEPI the authority necessary to process routine 
matters. These delegations are intended to apply to uncontested, non-
controversial matters.

II. Information Collection Statement

    2. The Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) regulations require 
that OMB approve certain information collection requirements imposed by
