the NGA.
Pursuant to section 157.9 of the
Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the
Commission staff will either: Complete
its environmental assessment (EA) and
place it into the Commission’s public
record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or
issue a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review. If a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review is
issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the
Commission staff’s issuance of the final
environmental impact statement (FEIS)
or EA for this proposal. The filing of the
EA in the Commission’s public record
for this proceeding or the issuance of a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental
Review will serve to notify federal and
state agencies of the timing for the
completion of all necessary reviews, and
the subsequent need to complete all
federal authorizations within 90 days of
the date of issuance of the Commission
staff’s FEIS or EA.
Persons who wish to comment only

Title: FERC–714, Annual Electric
Balancing Authority Area and Planning
Area Report.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0140.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–714 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The Commission uses the
FERC–714 data to analyze power system
operations. These analyses estimate the
effect of changes in power system
operations resulting from the
installation of a new generating unit or
plant, transmission facilities, energy
transfers between systems, and/or new
points of interconnections. The FERC–
714 data assists in providing a broad
picture of interconnected balancing
authority area operations including
comprehensive information of balancing
authority area generation, actual and
scheduled inter-balancing authority area
power transfers, and net energy for load,
summer and winter generation peaks
and system lambda. The Commission
also uses the data to prepare status
reports on the electric utility industry
including a review of inter-balancing
authority area bulk power trade
information.
The Commission uses the collected
data from planning areas to monitor
forecasted demands by electric utilities
with fundamental demand
responsibilities and to develop hourly
demand characteristics.
Type of Respondent: Electric utility
balancing authorities and planning areas
in the United States.
Estimate of Annual Burden 1: The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden and cost 2 (rounded)
for the information collection as
follows:
• Accountants and Auditors (Code 13–2011),
$56.59/hr.
• Transportation, Storage, and Distribution
Managers (Code 11–3071), $75.34/hr.
• Power Distributors and Dispatchers (Code 51–
8012), $53.48/hr.
The average hourly cost (wages plus benefits) for
the above wages is $72.29/hour (rounded $72.00).
