requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: On 8/8/2005, the Energy
Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) 1 was
signed into law. Section 1253(a) of
EPAct 2005 amends Section 210 of the
Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of
1978 (PURPA) by adding subsection
‘‘(m),’’ that provides, based on a
specified showing, for the termination
and subsequent reinstatement of an
electric utility’s obligation to purchase
from, and sell energy and capacity to,
qualifying facilities (QFs). In 2019 the
Commission revised its regulations in
18 CFR 292.309–292.313 in Docket No.
RM19–15–000 to account for industry
changes. These industry changes
include: The decrease in reliance on oil
and natural gas, the increase of natural
gas supply due to access of shale
reserves, and the decreasing costs of
renewable energy sources. Due to the
modifications in the rulemaking, the
Commission revised its information
collection requirements. The
Commission now collects the following
information on FERC Form 912:
• § 292.310: An electric utility’s
application for the termination of its
obligation to purchase energy from a
QF,
• § 292.311: An affected entity or
person’s application to the Commission
for an order reinstating the electric
utility’s obligation to purchase energy
from a QF,
• § 292.312: An electric utility’s
application for the termination of its
obligation to sell energy and capacity to
QFs, and
• § 292.313: An affected entity or
person’s application to the Commission
for an order reinstating the electric
utility’s obligation to sell energy and
capacity to QFs.2
Type of Respondents: Electric
utilities.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 3 The
Commission estimates the total Public
Reporting Burden and cost for this
information collection as follows:
1 Public
Law 109–58, 119 Stat. 594 (2005).
CFR 292.311 and 292.313.
3 Burden as the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate,
maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information
to or for a Federal agency. For further explanation
of what is included in the information collection
burden, refer to Title 5 Code of Federal Regulations
1320.3.
