The Commission encourages
electronic filing of comments (options 1
and 2 above) and has eFiling staff
available to assist you at (202) 502–8258
or FercOnlineSupport@ferc.gov.
Persons who comment on the
environmental review of this project
will be placed on the Commission’s
environmental mailing list, and will
receive notification when the
environmental documents (EA or EIS)
are issued for this project and will be
notified of meetings associated with the
Commission’s environmental review
process.
The Commission considers all
comments received about the project in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken. However, the filing of a comment
alone will not serve to make the filer a
party to the proceeding. To become a
party, you must intervene in the
proceeding. For instructions on how to
intervene, see below.
Interventions
Any person, which includes
individuals, organizations, businesses,
municipalities, and other entities,3 has
the option to file a motion to intervene
in this proceeding. Only intervenors
have the right to request rehearing of
Commission orders issued in this
proceeding and to subsequently
challenge the Commission’s orders in
the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal.
To intervene, you must submit a
motion to intervene to the Commission
in accordance with Rule 214 of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure 4 and the regulations under
the NGA 5 by the intervention deadline
for the project, which is April 30, 2021.
As described further in Rule 214, your
motion to intervene must state, to the
extent known, your position regarding
the proceeding, as well as your interest
in the proceeding. For an individual,
this could include your status as a
landowner, ratepayer, resident of an
impacted community, or recreationist.
You do not need to have property
directly impacted by the project in order
to intervene. For more information
about motions to intervene, refer to the
FERC website at https://www.ferc.gov/
resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp.
All timely, unopposed motions to
intervene are automatically granted by
operation of Rule 214(c)(1). Motions to
intervene that are filed after the
intervention deadline are untimely and
may be denied. Any late-filed motion to
intervene must show good cause for
being late and must explain why the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–582, Electric Fees,
Annual Charges, Waivers, and
Exemptions.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0132.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–582 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The information required by
FERC–582 is contained in Title 18 Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 381 1
and 382. 2
The Commission uses the FERC–582
to implement the statutory provisions of
the Independent Offices Appropriation
Act of 1952 (IOAA) 3 which authorizes
the Commission to establish fees for its
services. In addition, the Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986
(OBRA) 4 authorizes the Commission to
assess and collect fees and annual
charges in any fiscal year in amounts
equal to all the costs incurred by the
Commission in that fiscal year.
To comply with the FERC–582,
respondents submit to the Commission
the sum of the megawatt-hours (MWh)
of all unbundled transmission
(including MWh delivered in wheeling
transactions and MWh delivered in
exchange transactions) and the
megawatt-hours of all bundled
wholesale power sales (to the extent the
bundled wholesale power sales were not
separately reported as unbundled
transmission). The data collected in the
FERC–582 are drawn directly from the
FERC Form 1(Annual Report of Major
Electric Utilities, Licensees and
Others) 5 transmission data. The
Commission sums the costs of its
electric regulatory program and
subtracts all electric regulatory program
filing fee collections to determine the
total collectible electric regulatory
program costs. Then, the Commission
uses the data submitted under FERC–
582 to determine the total megawatthours of transmission of electric energy
in interstate commerce. Respondents
(public utilities and power marketers)
subject to these annual charges must
submit FERC–582 data to the
Commission by April 30 of each year. 6
The Commission issues bills for annual
charges to respondents. Then,
respondents must pay the charges
within 45 days of the Commission’s
issuance of the bill.
Respondents file requests for waivers
and exemptions of fees and charges 7
based on need. The Commission’s staff
uses the filer’s financial information to
evaluate the request for a waiver or
exemption of the obligation to pay a fee
or an annual charge.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 8 Due to
the reduction in respondents the
Commission estimates the burden and
cost 9 for this information collection as

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC-582, Electric Fees, Annual Charges, Waivers, and
Exemptions.
OMB Control No.: 1902-0132.
Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-582 information
collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting
requirements.
Abstract: The information required by FERC-582 is contained in
Title 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 381 \1\ and 382. \2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 18 CFR, Sections 381.105, 381.106, 381.108, 381.302, and
381.305.
\2\ 18 CFR, Sections 382.102, 382.103, 382.105, 382.106, and
382.201.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Commission uses the FERC-582 to implement the statutory
provisions of the Independent Offices Appropriation Act of 1952 (IOAA)
\3\ which authorizes the Commission to establish fees for its services.
In addition, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 (OBRA) \4\
authorizes the Commission to assess and collect fees and annual charges
in any fiscal year in amounts equal to all the costs incurred by the
Commission in that fiscal year.

\3\ 31 U.S.C. 9701.
\4\ 42 U.S.C. 7178.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To comply with the FERC-582, respondents submit to the Commission
the sum of the megawatt-hours (MWh) of all unbundled transmission
(including MWh delivered in wheeling transactions and MWh delivered in
exchange transactions) and the megawatt-hours of all bundled wholesale
power sales (to the extent the bundled wholesale power sales were not
separately reported as unbundled transmission). The data collected in
the FERC-582 are drawn directly from the FERC Form 1(Annual Report of
Major Electric Utilities, Licensees and Others) \5\ transmission data.
The Commission sums the costs of its electric regulatory program and
subtracts all electric regulatory program filing fee collections to
determine the total collectible electric regulatory program costs.
Then, the Commission uses the data submitted under FERC-582 to
determine the total megawatt-hours of transmission of electric energy
in interstate commerce. Respondents (public utilities and power
