SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: FERC Form 80, Licensed Hydropower Development Recreation Report. OMB Control No.: 1902–0106. Type of Request: Minor revisions to the FERC Form 80 information PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 45919 collection requirements with no change to the current reporting burden. Abstract: FERC uses the information on the FERC Form 80 to implement the statutory provisions of sections 4(a), 10(a), 301(a), 304 and 309 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. 797, 803, 825c & 8254. FERC’s authority to collect this information comes from section 10(a) of the FPA which requires the Commission to be responsible for ensuring that hydro projects subject to FERC jurisdiction are consistent with the comprehensive development of the nation’s waterway for recreation and other beneficial public uses. In the interest of fulfilling these objectives, FERC expects licensees subject to its jurisdiction to recognize the resources that are affected by their activities and to play a role in protecting such resources. FERC Form 80 is a report on the use and development of recreational facilities at hydropower projects licensed by the Commission. Applications for licenses, amendments to licenses, and/or changes in land rights frequently involve changes in resources available for recreation. FERC utilizes the FERC Form 80 data when analyzing the adequacy of existing public recreational facilities and when processing and reviewing proposed amendments to help determine the impact of such changes. In addition, the FERC regional office staff uses the FERC Form 80 data when conducting inspections of licensed projects. FERC inspectors use the data in evaluating compliance with various license conditions and in identifying recreational facilities at hydropower projects. The FERC Form 80 requires data specified by Title 18 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) under Parts 8.11 and 141.14 (and discussed at https://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/ forms.asp#80). FERC collects the FERC Form 80 once every six years. The last collection was due on April 1, 2009, for data compiled during the 2008 calendar year. The next collection of the FERC Form 80 is due on April 1, 2015, with subsequent collections due every sixth year, for data compiled during the previous calendar year. The Commission made minor revisions throughout the form. Specifically, FERC clarified and simplified instructions, removed redundancy in certain questions, clarified questions and terms, and generally improved the readability of the form. FERC has attached the revised form to this notice.

Estimate of Annual Burden:1 For each reporting period, FERC estimates the total Public Reporting Burden for this information collection as: (a) 1,000 respondents, (b) 0.167 responses/ respondent, and (c) 3 hours per response, giving a total of 501 burden hours. The Commission has increased its total number of respondents to reflect the actual numbers we received during the last two reporting periods. In addition, FERC spreads the burden hours and costs over the six-year collection cycle in the table below to reflect how the information is collected.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: FERC Form 80, Licensed Hydropower Development Recreation 
Report.
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0106.
    Type of Request: Minor revisions to the FERC Form 80 information 
collection requirements with no change to the current reporting burden.
    Abstract: FERC uses the information on the FERC Form 80 to 
implement the statutory provisions of sections 4(a), 10(a), 301(a), 304 
and 309 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. 797, 803, 825c & 
8254. FERC's authority to collect this information comes from section 
10(a) of the FPA which requires the Commission to be responsible for 
ensuring that hydro projects subject to FERC jurisdiction are 
consistent with the comprehensive development of the nation's waterway 
for recreation and other beneficial public uses. In the interest of 
fulfilling these objectives, FERC expects licensees subject to its 
jurisdiction to recognize the resources that are affected by their 
activities and to play a role in protecting such resources.
    FERC Form 80 is a report on the use and development of recreational 
facilities at hydropower projects licensed by the Commission. 
Applications for licenses, amendments to licenses, and/or changes in 
land rights frequently involve changes in resources available for 
recreation. FERC utilizes the FERC Form 80 data when analyzing the 
adequacy of existing public recreational facilities and when processing 
and reviewing proposed amendments to help determine the impact of such 
changes. In addition, the FERC regional office staff uses the FERC Form 
80 data when conducting inspections of licensed projects. FERC 
inspectors use the data in evaluating compliance with various license 
conditions and in identifying recreational facilities at hydropower 
projects.
    The FERC Form 80 requires data specified by Title 18 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (CFR) under Parts 8.11 and 141.14 (and discussed at 
https://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/forms.asp#80).
    FERC collects the FERC Form 80 once every six years. The last 
collection was due on April 1, 2009, for data compiled during the 2008 
calendar year. The next collection of the FERC Form 80 is due on April 
1, 2015, with subsequent collections due every sixth year, for data 
compiled during the previous calendar year.
    The Commission made minor revisions throughout the form. 
Specifically, FERC clarified and simplified instructions, removed 
redundancy in certain questions, clarified questions and terms, and 
generally improved the readability of the form.
    FERC has attached the revised form to this notice.

    Type of Respondents: Hydropower project licensees.
    Estimate of Annual Burden:\1\ For each reporting period, FERC 
estimates the total Public Reporting Burden for this information 
collection as: (a) 1,000 respondents, (b) 0.167 responses/respondent, 
and (c) 3 hours per response, giving a total of 501 burden hours. The 
Commission has increased its total number of respondents to reflect the 
actual numbers we received during the last two reporting periods. In 
addition, FERC spreads the burden hours and costs over the six-year 
collection cycle in the table below to reflect how the information is 
collected. The average burden hours per response remains unchanged. 
These are the figures FERC will submit to OMB.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ FERC defines burden 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

    Comments: 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
