Download as PDF 66708 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 208 / Thursday, October 27, 2011 / Notices annual charges based on certain schedules contained on the forms. The Commission provides the information to the public, interveners and all interested parties to assist in the proceedings before the Commission. Additionally, the uniformity of information helps to present accurately the entity’s financial condition and produces comprehensive data related to the entity’s financial history helping to act as a guide for future action. The uniformity provided by the Commission’s chart of accounts and related accounting instructions permits comparability and financial statement analysis of data provided by jurisdictional entities. Comparability of data and financial statement analysis for a particular entity from one period to the next, or between entities, within the same industry, would be difficult to achieve if each company maintained its own accounting records using dissimilar accounting methods and classifications to record similar transactions and events. The FERC Annual Report Forms provide the Commission, as well as others, with an informative picture of the jurisdictional entities’ financial condition along with other relevant data that is used by the Commission in making economic judgments about the entity or its industry. For financial information to be useful to the Commission, it must be understandable, relevant, reliable and timely. Public Comment and Commission Response The Commission received one comment from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) in regards to the Forms Nos. 1 and 1–F. In that comment, BEA requests additional reporting in Forms Nos. 1 and 1–F. BEA relies on this data collection for its analysis. In response, the Commission intends to work with BEA should there be a need to make any changes to this data collection. ACTION: The Commission is requesting a three-year extension of the FERC Forms 1 and 1F reporting requirements, with no changes to the forms. Burden Statement: The estimated annual public reporting burden is reflected in the following table: Number of respondents annually Number of responses per respondent Average burden hours per response Total annual burden hours (1) Data collection (2) (3) (1) × (2) × (3) 209 5 1 1 1,162 116 242,858 580 Total .......................................................................................... wreier-aviles on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Form 1 ............................................................................................. Form 1F ........................................................................................... ............................ ............................ ............................ 243,438 The total estimated annual cost burden to respondents on the FERC Form 1 is $12,385,758 (242,858 hours × $51/hour 3). The average cost per respondent is $59,262. The total estimated annual cost burden to respondents on the FERC Form 1F is $29,580 (580 hours × $51/ hour 3). The average cost per respondent is $5,916. 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 collections of information; and (7) transmitting or otherwise disclosing the information. 3 The per hour figures were obtained from the Bureau of Labor Statistics National IndustrySpecific Occupational and Employment Wage Estimates (https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/ naics4_221100.htm), and are based on the mean wage statistics for staff in the areas of management, business and financial, legal and administrative. The mean wage was then increased by 20% to account for benefits/overhead. VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:47 Oct 26, 2011 Jkt 226001 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 collections of information are 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 collections 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 collections 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).

First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or before the comment date stated below file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:47 Oct 26, 2011 Jkt 226001 a motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10).
