SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–915, Public Utility
Market-Based Rate Authorization
Holders—Records Retention
Requirements.
OMB Control No. 1902–0250.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–915 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current record retention requirements.
Abstract: In accordance with the
Federal Power Act, the Department of
Energy Organization Act (DOE Act), and
the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct
2005), the Commission regulates the
transmission and wholesale sales of
electricity in interstate commerce,
monitors and investigates energy
markets, uses civil penalties and other
means against energy organizations and
individuals who violate FERC rules in
the energy markets, administers
accounting and financial reporting
regulations, and oversees conduct of
regulated companies.
The Commission imposes the FERC–
915 record retention requirements, in 18
CFR 35.41(d), on applicable sellers to
retain, for a period of five years, all data
and information upon which they bill
the prices charged for ‘‘electric energy
or electric energy products it sold
pursuant to Seller’s market-based rate
tariff, and the prices it reported for use
in price indices.’’
The record retention period of five
years is necessary due to the importance
of records related to any investigation of
possible wrongdoing and related to
assuring compliance with the codes of
conduct and the integrity of the market.
The requirement is necessary to ensure
consistency with the rule prohibiting
market manipulation (adopted in Order
No. 670) and the generally applicable
five-year statute of limitations where the
Commission seeks civil penalties for
violations of the anti-manipulation rules
or other rules, regulations, or orders to
which the price data may be relevant.
Type of Respondent: Public Utility
Market-Based Rate Authorization
Holders.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The
Commission estimates the annual public
1 Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide

In addition, there are records storage
costs. For all respondents, we estimate
a total of 65,000 cu. ft. of records in offsite storage. Based on an approximate
storage cost of $0.24 per cubic foot, we
estimate total annual storage cost to be
$15,600.00 (or $6.22 annually per
respondent). The total annual cost for
all respondents (burden cost plus offsite storage) is $98,430.00 (or $82,830 +
$15,600); the average total annual cost
per respondent is $39.22 ($6.22 +
$33.00).
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC-915, Public Utility Market-Based Rate Authorization
Holders--Records Retention Requirements.
OMB Control No. 1902-0250.
Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-915 information
collection requirements with no changes to the current record retention
requirements.
Abstract: In accordance with the Federal Power Act, the Department
of Energy Organization Act (DOE Act), and the Energy Policy Act of 2005
(EPAct 2005), the Commission regulates the transmission and wholesale
sales of electricity in interstate commerce, monitors and investigates
energy markets, uses civil penalties and other means against energy
organizations and individuals who violate FERC rules in the energy
markets, administers accounting and financial reporting regulations,
and oversees conduct of regulated companies.
The Commission imposes the FERC-915 record retention requirements,
in 18 CFR 35.41(d), on applicable sellers to retain, for a period of
five years, all data and information upon which they bill the prices
charged for ``electric energy or electric energy products it sold
pursuant to Seller's market-based rate tariff, and the prices it
reported for use in price indices.''
The record retention period of five years is necessary due to the
importance of records related to any investigation of possible
wrongdoing and related to assuring compliance with the codes of conduct
and the integrity of the market. The requirement is necessary to ensure
consistency with the rule prohibiting market manipulation (adopted in
Order No. 670) and the generally applicable five-year statute of
limitations where the Commission seeks civil penalties for violations
of the anti-manipulation rules or other rules, regulations, or orders
to which the price data may be relevant.
Type of Respondent: Public Utility Market-Based Rate Authorization
Holders.
