Abstract: The information collected
by FERC–523 is required to implement
the statutory provisions of section 204
of the Federal Power Act (FPA) (16
U.S.C. 824c). Under section 204 of the
FPA 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.
This information is filed electronically.
Type of Respondents: Public utilities
subject to the Federal Power Act.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The
Commission estimates the reduction in
the annual public reporting burden for
the FERC–523, as follows:
1 Burden is defined 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, refer to 5 Code of Federal
Regulations 1320.3.
