burden hours to the depreciation studies
line item now being added.
In another adjustment, the number of
hours for Oil Rates and Tariff Filings
will decrease from 7.8 hours to 7 hours
per respondent due to the hour
allocation going to the second line
(Depreciation Studies) in the table
below. Additionally, since the previous
renewal, the number of respondents to
Oil Rates and Tariff filings also
increased from 219 to 258 based on the
number of filings received by the
Commission. The overall revised burden
estimates result to an increase to 280
(+61) respondents, 796 (+86) responses,
and 6,298 hours (+760).
The Commission estimates the annual
public reporting burden and cost 3 for
the FERC–550 information collection as
follows:

Studies previously was included under Oil Rates and Tariff Filings in the OMB inventory under OMB Control No. 1902–0089.
However, for a more accurate estimate of burden a new row was added for Depreciation Studies (18 CFR 347.1). This new row will properly account for the differences in burden hours and type of filing with the Oil Rates and Tariff filings (18 CFR parts 341 through 348).
