use of federal dams.
Regulations at 18 CFR 11.1(c)(5) and
11.1(d)(4) require annual kilowatt
generating reports from licensees and
exemptees. The Commission’s Financial
Services Division uses the reports to
determine the amount of annual charges
to be assessed each licensee and
exemptee.
Types of Respondent: (1) Hydropower
licensees of projects more than 1.5
megawatts of installed capacity; (2)
Holders of exemptions under section 30
of the FPA; 3 and (3) exemptees under
sections 405 and 408 of the Public
