a standardized cognitive interview
protocol. Focus groups are useful for
exploring issues concerning the design
of a form and the meaning of terms from
a specific group of respondents, data
users, or other stakeholders of EIA data.
Focus groups may also be used to
explore respondents’ general opinions
about data collection technologies or
survey materials other than
questionnaires.
(4a) Proposed Changes to Information
Collection:
EIA proposes to add several other
methodologies or techniques to improve
survey design, pretest questionnaires
and validate the quality of the data that
is collected on EIA and DOE survey
forms.
Field Techniques. Field techniques
described in survey research and survey
methodology literature will be
employed as appropriate. These include
follow-up probing, memory cue tasks,
paraphrasing, confidence rating,
response latency measurements, free
and dimensional sort classification
tasks, and vignette classifications. The
objective of all of these techniques is to
aid in the development of surveys that
work with respondents’ thought
processes, thus reducing response error
and burden. These techniques have also
proven useful for studying and revising
pre-existing questionnaires.
Behavior Coding. Behavior coding is a
quantitative technique in which a
standard set of codes is systematically
applied to respondent/interviewer
interactions in interviewer-administered
surveys or respondent/questionnaire
interactions in self-administered
surveys. The advantage of this
technique is that it can identify and
quantify problems with the wording or
ordering of questions, but the
disadvantage is that it does not
necessarily illuminate the underlying
causes.
Split Panel Test. Split panel tests refer
to controlled experimental testing of
alternative hypotheses. Thus, they allow
one to choose from among competing
questions, questionnaires, definitions,
error messages or survey improvement
methodologies with greater confidence
than any of the other methods. Split
panel tests conducted during the
fielding of the survey are superior in
that they can support both internal
validity (controlled comparisons of the
variable(s) under investigation) and
external validity (represent the
population under study). Most of the
previously mentioned survey
improvement methods can be
strengthened when teamed with this
method.

(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 1,800;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 1,800;
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 2,200;
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $179,630
(2,200 annual burden hours multiplied
by $81.65 per hour). EIA estimates that
respondents will have no additional
costs associated with the surveys other
than the burden hours and the
maintenance of the information during
the normal course of business.
Comments are invited on whether or
not: (a) The proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of agency functions,
including whether the information will
have a practical utility; (b) EIA’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used, is accurate; (c) EIA
can improve the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information it will collect;
and (d) EIA can minimize the burden of
the collection of information on
respondents, such as automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.

Project No. 10821, filed an Application
for a Subsequent License pursuant to
the Federal Power Act (FPA) and the
Commission’s regulations thereunder.
The Camp Far West Transmission Line
Project is located in Placer and Yuba
Counties, California.
The license for Project No. 10821 was
issued for a period ending June 30,
2021. Section 15(a)(1) of the FPA, 16
U.S.C. 808(a)(1), requires the
Commission, at the expiration of a
license term, to issue from year-to-year
an annual license to the then licensee(s)
under the terms and conditions of the
prior license until a new license is
issued, or the project is otherwise
disposed of as provided in section 15 or
any other applicable section of the FPA.
If the project’s prior license waived the

then, based on section 9(b) of the
Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C.
558(c), and as set forth at 18 CFR
16.21(a), if the licensee of such project
has filed an application for a subsequent
license, the licensee may continue to
operate the project in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the license
after the minor or minor part license
expires, until the Commission acts on
its application. If the licensee of such a
project has not filed an application for
a subsequent license, then it may be
required, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b),
to continue project operations until the
Commission issues someone else a
license for the project or otherwise
orders disposition of the project.
If the project is subject to section 15
of the FPA, notice is hereby given that
an annual license for Project No. 10821
is issued to the Pacific Gas & Electric
Company (PG&E), for a period effective
July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022 or
until the issuance of a new license for
the project or other disposition under
the FPA, whichever comes first. If
issuance of a new license (or other
disposition) does not take place on or
before June 30, 2022, notice is hereby
given that, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.18(c),
an annual license under section 15(a)(1)
of the FPA is renewed automatically
without further order or notice by the
Commission, unless the Commission
orders otherwise.
If the project is not subject to section
15 of the FPA, notice is hereby given
that Pacific Gas & Electric Company
(PG&E) is authorized to continue
operation of the Camp Far West
Transmission Line Project, until such
time as the Commission acts on its
application for a subsequent license.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–921, Ongoing Electronic
Delivery of Data from Regional
Transmission Organization and
Independent System Operators.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0257.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–921 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The collection of data in
FERC–921 is an effort by the
Commission, implemented under Order
No. 760,1 to detect potential anticompetitive or manipulative behavior or
ineffective market rules by requiring
Regional Transmission Organizations
(RTO) and Independent System
Operators (ISO) to electronically submit,
on a continuous basis, data relating to
physical and virtual offers and bids,
market awards, resource outputs,
marginal cost estimates, shift factors,
financial transmission rights, internal
bilateral contracts, uplift, and
interchange pricing. Although provision
was made by the Commission that
market monitoring units (MMUs) may
provide datasets, all data for this
collection has (and is expected to
continue to) come from each RTO or
ISO and not the MMUs. Therefore, any
associated burden is counted as burden
on RTO and ISO.
While the ongoing delivery of data
under FERC–921 is continuous and
routine, each RTO or ISO makes
sporadic changes to its individual
market with Commission approval.
When those changes occur, the RTO or
ISO may need to change the data being
routinely sent to the Commission to
ensure compliance with Order No. 760.
Such changes typically require
respondents to alter the ongoing
delivery of data under FERC–921. The
burden associated with a change varies
considerably based on the significance
of the specific change; therefore, the
estimate below is intended to reflect the
incremental burden for an average
change. Based on historical patterns,
staff estimates there to be about one and
a half changes of this nature per RTO or
ISO per year.
Type of Respondent: Regional
Transmission Organizations (RTO) and
Independent System Operators (ISO).
The Commission published a 60-day
Paperwork Reduction Act Notice 2 on
May 13, 2021 and no comments were
received.
