SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–725J, Definition of the
Bulk Electric System.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0259.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–725J information collection
requirements with no changes to the
reporting requirements.
Abstract: 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.
Type of Respondents: Generator
owners, distribution providers, other
NERC-registered entities.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden 2 for the information
collection as:

1 The Commission defines burden as the total
time, effort, or financial resources expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal agency. For
further explanation of what is included in the
information collection burden, reference 5 Code of
Federal Regulations 1320.3.
2 The FERC–725J information collection no longer
includes reporting burden for ‘‘System Review and
List Creation’’ and ‘‘Regional and ERO Handling of
Exception Requests’’. These two response categories
were part of the reporting burden in Years 1 and
2 of the FERC–725J implementation and have been
completed.

Black Mountain Hydro, LLC; Notice of
Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On March 24, 2016, Black Mountain
Hydro, LLC, filed an application for a
preliminary permit, pursuant to section
4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA),
proposing to study the feasibility of the
Southern Intertie Pumped Storage
Project (Southern Intertie Project or
project) to be located on Black
Mountain, near Yerington, in Mineral
and Lyon Counties, Nevada. The sole
purpose of a preliminary permit, if
issued, is to grant the permit holder
priority to file a license application
during the permit term. A preliminary
permit does not authorize the permit
holder to perform any land-disturbing
activities or otherwise enter upon lands
or waters owned by others without the
owners’ express permission.
The proposed closed-loop pumped
storage project would consist of the
following: (1) An upper reservoir in a
natural depression having a total storage
capacity of 4,460 acre-feet at a normal
maximum operating elevation of 7,410
feet mean sea level (msl); (2) a 105-foottall, 1,500-foot-long lower dam of
indeterminate construction; (3) a lower
reservoir having a total storage capacity
of 4,384 acre-feet at a normal maximum
operating elevation of 5,500 feet msl; (4)
a 2,200-foot-long, 16.5-foot-diameter,

7,850-foot-long 16.5-foot-diameter
concrete and steel lined high pressure
tunnel; (6) a 2,200-foot-long, 20-footdiameter concrete lined tailrace; (7) a
300-foot-long, 80-foot-wide, 50-feet-high
underground powerhouse containing
three 200–MW pump-turbine generator
units; (8) a 4.6-mile-long 230-kV
transmission line; (9) a 230/500 kV
substation; and (10) appurtenant
facilities. The estimated annual
generation of the Southern Intertie
Project would be 1,577 gigawatt-hours.

Abstract: 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.
Type of Respondents: Generator owners, distribution providers,
other NERC-registered entities.
Estimate of Annual Burden: \1\ The Commission estimates the annual
public reporting burden \2\ for the information collection as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The Commission defines burden as the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain,
retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal
agency. For further explanation of what is included in the
information collection burden, reference 5 Code of Federal
Regulations 1320.3.
\2\ The FERC-725J information collection no longer includes
reporting burden for ``System Review and List Creation'' and
``Regional and ERO Handling of Exception Requests''. These two
response categories were part of the reporting burden in Years 1 and
2 of the FERC-725J implementation and have been completed.
\3\ The hourly cost figure (wages plus benefits) comes from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics (https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm). The figure is for an electric engineer ($62.38,
Occupational Code: 17-2071), file clerk ($30.53, Occupational Code:
43-4071), and a lawyer (129.12, Occupational Code: 23-0000); the
calculation is as follows: 60 hours of burden * $62.38 = $3,743; 32
hours * $30.53 = $977; 2 hours * $129.12 = $258. $3,743 + $977 +
$258 = $4,978.
\4\ The hourly cost figure of $62.38 (wages plus benefits) comes
from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm). The figure is for an electric engineer (Occupational
Code: 17-2071).
\5\ The hourly cost figure (wages plus benefits) comes from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics (https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm). The figure is a weighted average comprised of hourly
figures for an electric engineer ($62.38, Occupational Code: 17-
2071), file clerk ($30.53, Occupational Code: 43-4071), and a lawyer
(129.12, Occupational Code: 23-0000); the calculation is as follows:
60 hours of burden * $62.38 = $3,743; 8 hours * $30.53 = $244; 24
hours * $129.12 = $3,099. $3,743 + $244 + $3,099 = $7,086.

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 of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
