These collections are also being renewed, but they are completely unrelated to the FERC–523. The burden estimations for the FERC Form 2 and Form 2A are unaffected by this notice.

the Commission, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden and

methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,

other forms of information technology.
