SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Electric Fees, Annual Charges,
Waivers, and Exemptions.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0132.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–582 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
reporting requirements.
Abstract: The information required by
FERC–582 is contained within 18 Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 381 1
and part 382 2.
The Commission uses the FERC–582
to implement the statutory provisions of
the Independent Offices Appropriation
Act of 1952 (IOAA) 3 which authorizes
the Commission to establish fees for its
services. In addition, the Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986
(OBRA) 4 authorizes the Commission to
assess and collect fees and annual
1 Title 18 CFR, Sections 381.105, 381.106,
381.108, 381.302, and 381.305.
2 Title 18 CFR, Sections 382.102, 382.103,
382.105, 382.106, and 382.201.

charges in any fiscal year in amounts
equal to all the costs incurred by the
Commission in that fiscal year.
To comply with the FERC–582,
respondents submit to the Commission
the sum of the megawatt-hours (MWh)
of all unbundled transmission
(including MWh delivered in wheeling
transactions and MWh delivered in
exchange transactions) and the
megawatt-hours of all bundled
wholesale power sales (to the extent the
bundled wholesale power sales were not
separately reported as unbundled
transmission). The data collected within
the FERC–582 is drawn directly from
the FERC Form 1 transmission data. The
Commission sums the costs of its
electric regulatory program and
subtracts all electric regulatory program
filing fee collections to determine the
total collectible electric regulatory
program costs. Then, the Commission
uses the data submitted under FERC–
582 to determine the total megawatthours of transmission of electric energy
in interstate commerce.
Respondents (public utilities, power
marketers) subject to these annual
charges must submit FERC–582 data to
the Commission by April 30 of each
year.5 The Commission issues bills for
annual charges to respondents. Then,
respondents must pay the charges
within 45 days of the Commission’s
issuance of the bill.
Respondents may file requests for
waivers and exemptions of fees and
charges 6 based on need. The
Commission’s staff uses the filer’s
financial information to evaluate the
request for a waiver or exemption of the
obligation to pay a fee or an annual
charge.
Type of Respondents: Public utilities
and power marketers.
Estimate of Annual Burden 7: The
Commission estimates the total Public
Reporting Burden for this information
collection as:
5 18
CFR 382.201.
CFR 381 and 382.
7 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.
