SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Education (ED), in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general
public and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed,
revised, and continuing collections of
information. This helps the Department
assess the impact of its information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand the
Department’s information collection
requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. ED is
soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that
is described below. The Department of
Education is especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is this collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Department enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the

information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: Loan Discharge
Applications (DL/FFEL/Perkins).
OMB Control Number: 1845–0058.
Type of Review: A revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 30,051.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 15,027.
Abstract: These forms serve as the
means by which a federal student loan
borrower requests a closed school, false
certification, or unpaid refund
discharge. The burden hours associated
with this collection is increasing for one
reason; mainly, that the collection is
being combined with the collection with
OMB Control Number 1845–0015 so
that all loan discharge forms are
contained in one collection with the
same OMB Control Number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–725T, Mandatory
Reliability Standards for the Texas
Reliability Entity Region.
OMB Control No.: To be determined.
Type of Request: Three-year approval
of the FERC–725T information
collection requirements.
Abstract: This information collection
relates to FERC-approved Reliability
Standard, BAL–001–TRE–01—Primary
Frequency Response in the Electric
Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT)
region. This Texas Reliability Entity
(TRE) regional Reliability Standard
requires prompt and sufficient
frequency response from resources to
stabilize frequency during changes in
the system generation-demand balance.1
Regional Reliability Standard BAL–001–
TRE–01 is more comprehensive than the
existing continent-wide Reliability
Standard addressing frequency
response, BAL–003–0.1b, in that the
regional standard includes additional
requirements and applies to generator
owners and generator operators as well
as balancing authorities.2 The expanded
applicability of the regional Reliability
Standard, thus, increases the reporting
burden for entities that operate within
the ERCOT Interconnection.
Type of Respondents: Generator
owners, generator operators, and
balancing authorities within the TRE
region.3
Estimate of Annual Burden: 4 Our
estimate below regarding the number of
respondents is based on the NERC
compliance registry as of October 2013.
According to the registry, the ERCOT
region includes 40 generator owners, 14
generator operators, 75 generator owners
that are also generator operators, and
one balancing authority. Thus, we
estimate that a total of 130 entities are
potentially subject to the reporting
requirements of BAL–001–TRE–01.
The information collection
requirements entail the setting or
configuration of the Control System
software, identification and recording of
events, data retention and submitting a
report as outlined in the table below.

collection burden, reference 5 Code of Federal
Regulations 1320.3.
5 BA = Balancing Authority, GO = Generator
Owner, GOP = Generator Operator.
6 The estimates for cost per hour (rounded to the
nearest dollar) are derived as follows:
• $60/hour, the average salary plus benefits per
engineer (from Bureau of Labor Statistics at https://
bls.gov/oes/current/naics3_221000.htm)
• $82/hour, the salary plus benefits per manager
(from Bureau of Labor Statistics at https://bls.gov/

• $32/hour, the salary plus benefits per
information and record clerks (from Bureau of
Labor Statistics at https://bls.gov/oes/current/
naics3_221000.htm)
7 In the initial letter order issued on January 16,
2014 we indicated total annual burden hours as 920
instead of 912. This error led to discrepancies in the
cost column and total row that have been resolved
in this notice and in the supporting statement
submitted to OMB.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
information collection in Docket No.
RD14–2–000 relates to the FERCapproved revision to the definition of
bulk electric system, developed by the
North American Electric Reliability
Corporation (NERC).1 The approved
revision modifies the definition of bulk
electric system in response to
Commission directives in Order Nos.
773 and 773–A, as well as some other
clarifying revisions.2 The information
collection requirements contained in the
definition of bulk electric system are
contained in FERC–725J (OMB Control
Number 1902–0259).
On December 20, 2012, the
Commission issued Order No. 773, a
Final Rule approving NERC’s
modifications to the definition of ‘‘bulk
electric system’’ and the Rules of
Procedure exception process to be
effective July 1, 2013. On April 18,
2013, in Order No. 773–A, the
Commission largely affirmed its
findings in Order No. 773. In Order Nos.
773 and 773–A, the Commission
directed NERC to modify the definition
of bulk electric system in two respects:
(1) Modify the local network exclusion
(exclusion E3) to remove the 100 kV
minimum operating voltage to allow
systems that include one or more looped
configurations connected below 100 kV
to be eligible for the local network
exclusion; and (2) modify the exclusions
to ensure that generator interconnection
facilities at or above 100 kV connected
to bulk electric system generators
identified in inclusion I2 are not
excluded from the bulk electric system.

In its December 13, 2013 Petition,
NERC proposed revisions to respond to
the Commission directives in Order
Nos. 773 and 773–A. In addition, NERC
revised inclusion I4 to include the
collector system at the point of
aggregation.3 Therefore, the estimates
for this information collection are based
on the three modifications approved in
the March 2014 Order.
The Commission estimates a modest
decrease in information collection and
reporting that would result from
implementing the proposed revisions to
the definition of bulk electric system.
Specifically, the Commission estimates
a decrease in information collection and
reporting that would result from
implementing NERC’s proposed
revisions to the definition of bulk
electric system. The estimate is derived
in NERC’s alternative proposal in
addressing the Commission’s concern
regarding low voltage looped
configurations. NERC explains that its
technical analysis shows that a 50 kV
threshold for sub-100 kV loops does not
affect the application of exclusion E1.
NERC states that this approach will ease
the administrative burden on entities as
it negates the necessity for an entity to
prove that they qualify for exclusion E1
if the sub-100 kV loop in question is less
than or equal to 50 kV.4 This
administrative burden falls into the
category of ‘‘System Review and List
Creation’’ as described in Order Nos.
773 and 773–A.5
Because the E1 exclusion applies to
low voltage loops operated below 50 kV,
entities will no longer evaluate looped
configurations for either the E3 network
exclusion or the NERC exception
process.6 Accordingly, we estimate a
decrease of one engineering hour
needed for ‘‘System Review and List
Creation’’ for transmission owners and
distribution providers, respectively.
With respect to the revisions to
inclusion I4, NERC states that the
3 The bulk electric system definition components
consist of the core definition, five inclusions and
four exclusions. NERC does not propose any
changes to the core definition, inclusion I3 or
exclusion E2. The proposed changes chiefly affect
exclusions E1 and E3 and inclusion I4. NERC also
made minor clarifying changes to inclusions I1, I2,
and I5 and exclusion E4. These minor changes do
not affect the information collection and reporting
requirements approved in Order Nos. 773 and 773–
A.
4 NERC Petition at 19–25, Exhibit D at 2, 48–90.
5 System Review and List Creation corresponds to
step 1 of NERC’s proposed transition plan, which
requires each U.S. asset owner to apply the revised
bulk electric system definition to all elements to
determine if those elements are included in the
bulk electric system pursuant to the revised
definition. See Order No. 773, 141 FERC ¶ 61,236
at P 330.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC-725T, Mandatory Reliability Standards for the Texas
Reliability Entity Region.
OMB Control No.: To be determined.
Type of Request: Three-year approval of the FERC-725T information
collection requirements.
Abstract: This information collection relates to FERC-approved
Reliability Standard, BAL-001-TRE-01--Primary Frequency Response in the
Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) region. This Texas
Reliability Entity (TRE) regional Reliability Standard requires prompt
and sufficient frequency response from resources to stabilize frequency
during changes in the system generation-demand balance.\1\ Regional
Reliability Standard BAL-001-TRE-01 is more comprehensive than the
existing continent-wide Reliability Standard addressing frequency
response, BAL-003-0.1b, in that the regional standard includes
additional requirements and applies to generator owners and generator
operators as well as balancing authorities.\2\ The expanded
applicability of the regional Reliability Standard, thus, increases the
reporting burden for entities that operate within the ERCOT
Interconnection.

Corporation (NERC) and Texas Reliability Entity, Inc. at 10.
\2\ On January 16, 2014, the Commission issued a Final Rule
approving Reliability Standard BAL-003-1 and NERC's request for the
retirement of BAL-003-0.1b immediately prior to the effective date
of BAL-003-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Type of Respondents: Generator owners, generator operators, and

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ These entity types represent functional categories contained
in NERC's compliance registry. See https://www.nerc.com/page.php?cid=3 [bsol]25 for more information.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimate of Annual Burden: \4\ Our estimate below regarding the
number of respondents is based on the NERC compliance registry as of
October 2013. According to the registry, the ERCOT region includes 40
generator owners, 14 generator operators, 75 generator owners that are
also generator operators, and one balancing authority. Thus, we
estimate that a total of 130 entities are potentially subject to the
reporting requirements of BAL-001-TRE-01.

\6\ The estimates for cost per hour (rounded to the nearest
dollar) are derived as follows:
$60/hour, the average salary plus benefits per engineer
(from Bureau of Labor Statistics at https://bls.gov/oes/current/naics3_221000.htm)
$82/hour, the salary plus benefits per manager (from
Bureau of Labor Statistics at https://bls.gov/oes/current/naics3_221000.htm)
$32/hour, the salary plus benefits per information and
record clerks (from Bureau of Labor Statistics at https://bls.gov/oes/current/naics3_221000.htm)
\7\ In the initial letter order issued on January 16, 2014 we
indicated total annual burden hours as 920 instead of 912. This
error led to discrepancies in the cost column and total row that
have been resolved in this notice and in the supporting statement
submitted to OMB.
