\2\ The estimates for cost per response are derived using the
following formula: Average Burden Hours per Response * $70.50 per
Hour = Average Cost per Response. The hourly cost figure of $70.50
is the average FERC employee wage plus benefits. We assume that
respondents earn at a similar rate.
\3\ This figure was listed as ``$1,179,042'' in the previous
public notice. The figure reported here is correct.

Abstract: Under Federal Power Act (FPA) section 204, 16 U.S.C.
824c, no public utility or licensee shall issue any security, or assume
any obligation or liability as guarantor, endorser, surety, or
otherwise in respect of any security of another person, until the
public utility applies for and receives Commission approval by order
authorizing the issue or assumption of the liability. The Commission
issues an order if it finds that such issue or assumption (a) is for
lawful object, within the corporate purposes of the applicant and
compatible with the public interest, which is necessary or appropriate
for or consistent with the proper performance by the applicant as a
public utility, and which will not impair its ability to perform that
service, and (b) is reasonably necessary or appropriate for such
purposes.
The Commission uses the information contained in filings to
determine its acceptance and/or rejection of applications for
authorization to either issue securities or to assume an obligation or
liability by the public utilities and their licensees who submit these
applications.
The specific application requirements and filing format are found
at 18 CFR part 34; and 18 CFR 131.43 and 131.50. The information is
filed electronically.
Type of Respondent: Public utilities subject to the FPA.
Estimate of Annual Burden: The Commission estimates the annual
public reporting burden for the information collection as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ The estimates for cost per response are derived using the
following formula: Average Burden Hours per Response * $70.50 per
Hour = Average Cost per Response. The hourly cost figure of $70.50
is the average FERC employee wage plus benefits. We assume that
respondents earn at a similar rate.
\5\ Some respondents may be required to provide more than one
response.
