SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: FERC–732, Electric Rate Schedules and Tariffs: Long-Term Firm Transmission Rights in Organized Electricity Markets. OMB Control No.: 1902–0245. Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC–732 information collection requirement with no changes to the current 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.3 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. Type of Respondents: Public utility with one or more organized electricity markets. Estimate of Annual Burden: 4 The Commission estimates the total burden and cost 5 for this information collection as follows.
