Despite the changes to the Form 580,
burden estimates per response for each
entity will not change from previously
approved amounts. The burden estimate
may vary by utility depending on
whether the utility has or does not have
an automatic adjustment clause and
depending on whether or not those
utilities with adjustment clauses allow
automatic adjustment of fuel cost.
The total estimated annual cost
burden to respondents is $142,835.
[2040.5 hours * $70/hour 5 = $142,835]
The estimated annual cost of filing the
FERC Form 580 per response is $1,742.
[$142,835 ÷ 82 responses = $1,742/
response]
Comments: The Commission seeks
public comment on and subsequent
OMB approval of the proposed revised
information collection. Also, the
Commission invites comments 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.
