Estimated cost burden to respondents is $1,683,400; [i.e., (13,480
hours @ $120 an hour (compliance cost)) + (2,350 hours @ $28 an hour
(recordkeeping cost))]. The reporting burden includes the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended to generate, maintain, retain,
or 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\2\ Requirement R8 applies to generator owners that own
facilities between the step-up transformer and the point of
interconnection. We estimate that 10% of all NERC registered
generator owners own such facilities.
\3\ Transmission Owner estimate based on the supplemental work
required to report the next most limiting equipment and assumes all
prerequisite work was performed in compliance with currently
effective Reliability Standard FAC-008-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 particular function or activity.
