Abstract: The Commission requires
the FERC–587 information collection to
satisfy the requirements of section 24 of
the Federal Power Act (FPA). The
Federal Power Act grants the
Commission authority to issue licenses
for the development and improvement
of navigation and for the development,
transmission, and utilization of power
across, along, from or in any of the
steams or other bodies of water over
which Congress has jurisdiction.1 The
Electric Consumers Protection Act
(ECPA) amended the FPA to allow the
Commission the responsibility of
issuing licenses for nonfederal
hydroelectric plants.2 Section 24 of the
FPA requires that applicants proposing
hydropower projects on (or changes to
existing projects located within) lands
owned by the United States to provide
a description of the applicable U.S.
land. Additionally, the FPA requires the
notification of the Commission and
Secretary of the Interior of the
hydropower proposal. FERC–587
consolidates the information required
and identifies hydropower project
boundary maps associated with the
applicable U.S. land.
The information consolidated by the
Form No. 587 verifies the accuracy of
the information provided for the FERC–
587 to the Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) and the Department of the
Interior (DOI). Moreover, this
information ensures that U.S. lands can
be reserved as hydropower sites and
withdrawn from other uses.
Type of Respondents: Applicants
proposing hydropower projects on (or
changes to existing projects located
within) lands owned by the United
States.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 3 The
Commission estimates the total Public
Reporting Burden for this information
collection as:
1 16
U.S.C. 797d (2010).
Law 99–495, 100 Stat. 1243 (1996).
3 Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide
information to or for a Federal agency. For further
explanation of what is included in the information
collection burden, reference 5 Code of Federal
Regulations 1320.3.

Comments: Comments are invited on:
(1) Whether the 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 and cost of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information collection;
and (4) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
