Jkt 253001
OMB Control No.: 1902–0114.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–566 information collection
requirements with no revisions to the
current requirements.
Abstract: Section 305(c) of the Federal
Power Act (FPA),1 mandates federal

electric corporate activities to ensure

prescribes information filing
requirements to achieve this goal. These

FERC–566 implements FPA
requirements that each public utility
annually publishes a list of the 20
purchasers which purchased the largest
annual amounts of electric energy sold
by such public utility during any of the
three previous calendar years. The
public disclosure of this information
provides the information necessary to
determine whether an interlocked
position is with any of the 20 largest
purchasers of electric energy.
Type of Respondents: Public utilities.
Estimate of Annual Burden: The
Commission estimates 321 responses
annually, and 4 hours and $332 per
response. The total estimated burdens
per year are 1,284 hours and $106,572.
These burdens are itemized in the
following table:
