Title: FERC–922, Performance Metrics
for ISOs, RTOs and Regions Outside of
ISOs and RTOs.
SUMMARY:
E:\FR\FM\03SEN1.SGM
03SEN1
52314
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 170 / Wednesday, September 3, 2014 / Notices
OMB Control No.: 1902–0262.
Type of Request: Reinstatement and
revision of an information collection.
Abstract: The Commission is
continuing its efforts to collect
performance metric information from
ISOs, RTOs, and public utilities in
regions outside ISO and RTO regions.
This includes the submission of
information relating to dispatch
reliability, transmission planning, the
marginal cost of energy and resource
availability. The information submitted
by ISOs, RTOs, and participating public
utilities in regions outside ISOs and
RTOs is used to evaluate reliability and
systems operations performance.
Concurrent with the issuance of this
notice, Commission Staff is issuing a
report establishing 30 common metrics
for ISOs/RTOs and utilities.
Commission Staff intends to collect
information on these common metrics
initially covering the period 2008–2012,
and at a later time for the 2010–2014
period. The common metrics are
attached to this notice. The attachment
will not be published in the Federal
Register but will be visible as part of
this notice in the Commission’s eLibrary
system.
Type of Respondents: ISOs, RTOs and
public utilities.
Estimate of Annual Burden 1:
Commission Staff expects that
respondents will submit performance
information every two years and that
this collection will initially have a three
year approval from OMB. For this
reason, the annual number of responses
is ‘‘0.5’’ in the table below (i.e. the
collection will occur twice over the
three year approval period).

2 The
estimates for cost per response are derived using the following formula: Average Burden Hours per Response * $XX per Hour = Average
Cost per Response. The hourly cost figure for the metrics data collection and writing the performance analysis is based on the loaded average
wage for an analyst, attorney, engineer, and economist ($80.20/hour). The hourly cost figure for the management review is based on the loaded
average wage for management ($84.72/hour). Wage and benefits data are from the Bureau of Labor Statistics at https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/
naics2_22.htm and https://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.nr0.htm.
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
Performance metric

other forms of information technology.
