The Cornell University Hydroelectric Project is located on Fall Creek within the Cornell University campus in the City of Ithaca, Tompkins County, New York. The license for Project No. 3251 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 applicability of section 15 of the FPA, 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. 3251 is issued to Cornell University 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 private industry workers (https://www.bls.gov/ news.release/ecec.nr0.htm). We estimate the total time required per change to be 320 hours. Because a response encompasses one year where there are, on average, 1.5 changes, the total time per response is 480 hours (1.5 × 320 hours). 5 The loaded hourly wage for each occupation is as follows: • Computer Systems Analysts: $47.63 (base hourly wage) ÷ 70.3% (benefits) = $67.75. • Legal: $100 (base hourly wage) ÷ 70.3% (benefits) = $142.25. • Database Administrators and Architects: $50.65 (base hourly wage) ÷ 70.3% (benefits) = $71.92. 6 Each RTO/ISO electronically submits data daily. To match with past filings, we are considering the collection of daily responses to be a single response. 7 Each RTO/ISO is estimated to make one and a half changes yearly. To be consistent with the formulation that the submissions over the course of a year constitute a single response, for the purpose of this calculation, we are assuming that each response requires one and a half changes over the course of the year and estimating burden accordingly. 8 The rounded weighted hourly cost breakdown includes: [(0.75 * $67.75) + (0.125 * $142.25) + (0.125 * $71.92)] = $77.59.
