requirements.
b. Project No.: 2326–053.
c. Date Filed: May 23, 2018.
d. Applicant: Great Lakes Hydro
America, LLC.
e. Name of Project: Cross Power
Hydroelectric Project.
2 The estimated hourly cost (salary plus benefits)
provided in this section is based on the salary
figures for May 2017 posted by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics for the Utilities sector (available at https://
www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm) and
benefits data of May 2017 (available at https://
www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm):
Legal (Occupation Code: 23–0000): $143.68;
Consulting (Occupation Code: 54–1600): $89.00;
Management Analyst (Occupation Code: 13–1111):
$63.49; Office and Administrative Support

15–1122): $66.34; File Clerk (Occupation Code: 43–
4071): $32.74.
For reporting requirements, the skill sets are
assumed to contribute equally, so the hourly cost
is an average [($143.68 + $89.00 + $63.49 + $40.89
+ $68.12 + $66.34 + $32.74) ÷ 7 = $72.04]. The
figure is rounded to $72.00 per hour.
For recordkeeping requirements, the hourly cost
for a file clerk ($32.74) is used.
3 ATC-related standards include: Implementation

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–921, Ongoing Electronic
Delivery of Data from Regional
Transmission Organizations and
Independent System Operators.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0257.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–921 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The collection of data in the
FERC–921 is an effort by the
Commission to detect potential anticompetitive or manipulative behavior or
ineffective market rules by requiring
Regional Transmission Organizations
(RTO) and Independent System
Operators (ISO) to electronically submit,
on a continuous basis, data relating to
Continued

with the requirements of 18 CFR
385.2001 through 385.2005. All
comments, motions to intervene, or
protests must set forth their evidentiary
basis and otherwise comply with the
requirements of 18 CFR 4.34(b). All
comments, motions to intervene, or
protests should relate to project works
which are the subject of the license
surrender. Agencies may obtain copies
of the application directly from the
applicant. A copy of any protest or
motion to intervene must be served
upon each representative of the
applicant specified in the particular
application. If an intervener files
comments or documents with the
Commission relating to the merits of an
issue that may affect the responsibilities
of a particular resource agency, they
must also serve a copy of the document
on that resource agency. A copy of all
other filings in reference to this
application must be accompanied by
proof of service on all persons listed in
the service list prepared by the
Commission in this proceeding, in

ACTION: Notice of information collection
and request for comments.
AGENCY:
In compliance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission or FERC) is soliciting
public comment on the currently
approved information collection FERC–
921 (Ongoing Electronic Delivery of

information collection to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review. Any interested person may file

physical and virtual offers and bids,
market awards, resource outputs,
marginal cost estimates, shift factors,
financial transmission rights, internal
bilateral contracts, uplift, and
interchange pricing. Individual datasets
that the Commission is requesting may
be produced or retained by the market
monitoring units (MMUs). The
Commission directed each RTO and ISO
either to: (1) Request such data from its
MMU, so that the RTO or ISO can
deliver such data to the Commission; or
(2) request its MMU to deliver such data
directly to the Commission. All data for
this collection has (and is expected to
continue to) come from each RTO or
ISO and not the MMUs. Therefore, any
associated burden is counted as burden
on RTO and ISO.
Each RTO or ISO may make changes
to their individual markets with
Commission approval. Each RTO or ISO
may also change the data being sent to
the Commission to ensure compliance
with Order No. 760. Such changes
typically require respondents to alter
the ongoing delivery of data under
FERC–921. For this reason, the burden
estimate has been updated to reflect the
incremental burden associated with
such changes. The burden associated
with a changes varies considerably
based on the significance of the specific
change, therefore, the estimate reflects
the incremental burden for an average
change. Based on historical patterns of
change, staff estimates there to be about
one and a half changes per RTO or ISO
per year.
Public Comments on 60-day Notice
and FERC Response: The Commission
received comments from one
commenter who is also a subject
respondent, the New York Independent
System Operator, Inc. They wrote: ‘‘The
Commission should continue to require
the ongoing delivery of data in the same
manner that the data is currently
delivered, in accordance with FERC
Order No. 760 and FERC–921.’’ This
comment clearly supports the
Commission’s request to extend the
information collection without change.
Type of Respondents: Regional
transmission organizations and
independent system operators.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The
Commission estimates the average
annual burden and cost 2 for this
information collection 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. Refer to 5
CFR 1320.3 for additional information.
2 Costs (for wages and benefits) are based on wage
figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for
