    OMB Control No.: 1902-0245.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-732 information 
collection requirements with no changes to the reporting requirements.
    Abstract: 18 CFR part 42 provides the reporting requirements of 
FERC-732 as they pertain to long-term transmission rights. To implement 
section 1233 \1\ of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005),\2\ the 
Commission requires each transmission organization that is a public 
utility with one or more organized electricity markets to make 
available long-term firm transmission rights that satisfy each of the 
Commission's guidelines.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 16 U.S.C. 824 et al.
    \2\ Added new section 217 (16 U.S.C. 824Q) to the Federal Power 
Act (FPA).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FERC-732 regulations require that transmission organizations 
(that are public utilities with one or more organized electricity 
markets) choose one of two ways to file:
     File tariff sheets making long-term firm transmission 
rights available that are consistent with each of the guidelines 
established by FERC
     File an explanation describing how their existing tariffs 
already provide long-term firm transmission rights that are consistent 
with the guidelines.
    Additionally, the Commission requires each transmission 
organization to make its transmission planning and expansion procedures 
and plans available to the public.
    FERC-732 enables the Commission to exercise its wholesale electric 
rate and electric power transmission oversight and enforcement 
responsibilities in accordance with the FPA, the Department of Energy 
Organization Act (DOE Act), and EPAct 2005.
