Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 21 / Thursday, January 31, 2019 / Notices
govern qualifying small power
production and cogeneration facilities.
Among other things, the Commission
eliminated certain exemptions from rate
regulation that were previously
available to qualifying facilities (QFs).
New qualifying facilities may need to
make tariff filings if they do not meet
the exemption requirements.
FERC implemented the Congressional
mandate of the Energy Policy Act of
2005 (EPAct 2005) to establish criteria
for new qualifying cogeneration
facilities by: (1) Amending the
exemptions available to qualifying
facilities from the FPA and from Public
Utility Holding Company Act (PUHCA)
[resulting in the burden imposed by
FERC–914, the subject of this notice]; (2)
ensuring that these facilities are using
their thermal output in a productive and
beneficial manner; that the electrical,
thermal, chemical and mechanical
output of new qualifying cogeneration
facilities is used fundamentally for
industrial, commercial, residential or
industrial purposes; and there is
continuing progress in the development
of efficient electric energy generating
technology; (3) amending the FERC
Form 556 2 to reflect the criteria for new
qualifying cogeneration facilities; and
(4) eliminating ownership limitations
for qualifying cogeneration and small
power production facilities. The
Commission satisfied the statutory
mandate and its continuing obligation to
review its policies encouraging
cogeneration and small power
production, energy conservation,
efficient use of facilities and resources
by electric utilities, and equitable rates
for energy customers.
Type of Respondents: New qualifying
facilities and small power producers
that do not meet Commission exemption
criteria
Estimate of Annual Burden: 3 The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden for the information
collection as:

of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

Notice of Citation Change for
Commision Rulemakings
BILLING CODE 6717–01–P
Take notice that on January 1, 2019,
the Commission will be changing its
official citation format for orders in
rulemaking proceedings. Because
Commission orders in rulemaking
proceedings currently are published in
a variety of sources (posting on eLibrary
and the Commission website, and
distribution through LexisNexis,
Westlaw, Commerce Clearing House,
and the Federal Register), adoption of a
standard citation format will permit
citation uniformity across all sources
and simplify the citation of Commission
rulemakings.

¶ 31,203 (2006); and Revised Regulations Governing
Small Power Production and Cogeneration
Facilities, Order 671–A, 71 FR 30585 (5/30/2006),
in Docket No. RM05–36.
2 The FERC–556 (Certification of Qualifying
Facility (QF) Status for a Small Power Production
or Cogeneration Facility) is cleared separately as
OMB Control No. 1902–0075 and is not a subject
of this notice.
3 Burden is 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.

Accordingly, citations to rulemakings
must use the FERC citation assigned by
the Commission when issuing orders,
e.g., 162 FERC ¶ 61,001, at P 1 (2018).
The FERC citation format alone suffices
for future rulemaking proceedings, and
also for those past rulemaking
proceedings in which the paragraphs of
the order are individually numbered
and can be used for pinpoint citation. If,
however, a pinpoint page citation is
provided to a past rulemaking
proceeding that does not contain
individual paragraph numbers, both the
FERC citation and a pinpoint citation to
FERC Stats. & Regs. (or to the Federal
Register) should be used.1

4 FERC staff estimates that industry costs for
salary plus benefits are similar to Commission
costs. The cost figure is the FY2018 FERC average
annual salary plus benefits ($164,820/year or $79/
hour).
1 The Commission encourages participants,
wherever possible, to provide in their pleadings
pinpoint citations to the relevant paragraphs or
pages.
