SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Rules of Practice and Procedure:
Declaration of Intention.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0079.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–515 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The Commission uses the
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–515 to
implement the statutory provisions of
Section 23(b) of the Federal Power Act
(FPA).1 Section 23(b) authorized the
Commission to make a determination as
to whether it has jurisdiction over a
proposed water project 2 not affecting
navigable waters 3 but across, along,
over, or in waters over which Congress
has jurisdiction under its authority to
regulate commerce with foreign nations
and among the several States. Section
23(b) requires that any person intending
to construct project works on such
waters must file a declaration of their
intention with the Commission. If the
Commission finds the proposed project
will have an impact on interstate or
foreign commerce, then the entity
intending to construct the project must
obtain a Commission license or
exemption before starting construction.4
The information is collected in the form
of a written application, containing
sufficient details to allow the
Commission staff to research the
jurisdictional aspects of the project.
This research includes examining maps
and land ownership records to establish
whether or not there is Federal
jurisdiction over the lands and waters
affected by the project. A finding of nonjurisdictional by the Commission
eliminates a substantial paperwork
burden for the applicant who might
otherwise have to file for a license or
exemption application. The
Commission implements these filing
requirements under 18 CFR part 24.
Type of Respondents: Persons
intending to construct project works on
certain waters described above.
Estimate of Annual Burden 5: The
Commission estimates the total Public
Reporting Burden for this information
collection as:

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.

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 14, 2013 / Notices
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–511 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The Commission uses the
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–511 to
implement the statutory provisions of
Sections 4(e) and 8 of the Federal Power
Act (FPA).1 Section 4(e) authorizes the
Commission to issue licenses for the
construction, operation and
maintenance of reservoirs,
powerhouses, and transmission lines or
other facilities necessary for the
development and improvement of
navigation and for the development,
transmission, and utilization of power.2
Section 8 of the FPA provides that the
voluntary transfer of any license is made
only with the written approval of the
Commission. Any successor to the
licensee may assign the rights of the
original licensee but is subject to all of
the conditions of the license. The
information filed with the Commission
is a mandatory requirement contained
in the format of a written application for
transfer of license, executed jointly by
the parties of the proposed transfer. The
sale or merger of a licensed
hydroelectric project may occasion the
transfer of a license. The Commission’s
staff uses the information collection to
determine the qualifications of the
proposed transferee to hold the license
and to prepare the transfer of the license
order. Approval by the Commission of
transfer of a license is contingent upon
the transfer of title to the properties
under license, delivery of all license
instruments, and evidence that such
transfer is in the public interest. The
Commission implements these filing
requirements in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR part 9.
Type of Respondents: Hydropower
Project Licensees.
