SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–914, Cogeneration and
Small Power Production—Tariff Filings.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0231.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–914 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: Section 205(c) of the Federal
Power Act (FPA) and 18 CFR 292
require that every public utility have all
of its jurisdictional rates and tariffs on
file with the Commission and make
them available for public inspection,
within such time and in such form as
the Commission may designate. Section
205(d) of the FPA requires that every
public utility must provide notice to the
Commission and the public of any
changes to its jurisdictional rates and
tariffs, file such changes with the
Commission, and make them available
for public inspection, in such manner as
directed by the Commission. In
addition, FPA section 206 requires the
Commission, upon complaint or its own
motion, to modify existing rates or
services that are found to be unjust,
unreasonable, unduly discriminatory or
preferential. FPA section 207 requires
the Commission upon complaint by a
state commission and a finding of
insufficient interstate service, to order
the rendering of adequate interstate
service by public utilities, the rates for
which would be filed in accordance
with FPA sections 205 and 206.
In Order Nos. 671 and 671–A,1 the
Commission revised its regulations that
govern qualifying small power
production and cogeneration facilities.
Among other things, the Commission
31059
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
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

Commission estimates the annual public

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 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The FERC Form 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 and cost \4\ for the information collection as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\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.
\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).
