SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title:
FERC–716, Good Faith Requests for
Transmission Service and Good Faith
Responses by Transmitting Utilities
Under Sections 211(a) and 213(a) of the
Federal Power Act (FPA).
OMB Control No.: 1902–0170.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–716 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The Commission uses the
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–716 to
implement the statutory provisions of
Sections 211 and Section 213 of the
Federal Power Act as amended and
added by the Energy Policy Act 1992.
FERC–716 also includes the
requirement to file a Section 211 request
if the negotiations between the
transmission requestor and the
transmitting utility are unsuccessful.
For the initial process, the information
is not filed with the Commission.
However, the request and response may
be analyzed as a part of a Section 211
action. The Commission may order
transmission services under the
authority of FPA 211.
The Commission’s regulations in the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 18
CFR 2.20, provide standards by which
the Commission determines if and when
a valid good faith request for
transmission has been made under
section 211 of the FPA. By developing
the standards, the Commission sought to
encourage an open exchange of data
with a reasonable degree of specificity
and completeness between the party
requesting transmission services and the
transmitting utility. As a result, 18 CFR
2.20 identifies 12 components of a good
faith estimate and 5 components of a
reply to a good faith request.
Type of Respondents: Transmission
Requestors and Transmitting Utilities.

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 estimates for cost per response are derived
using the following formula: Average Burden Hours
per Response * $76.50 per Hour = Average Cost per
Response. The cost per hour figure is the FERC
average salary plus benefits. Subject matter experts
found that industry employment costs closely
resemble FERC’s regarding the FERC–716
information collection.
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.
