---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OMB Control No.: 1902-0069.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-511 information 
collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting and

    Abstract: The purpose of FERC-511 is to implement the information

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) under title 18 CFR part 9 (Transfer 
of License) sections 9.1 through 9.3 and section 131.20 of the 18 CFR. 
Section 8 of the FPA stipulates that no voluntary transfer of any 
license, or the rights thereunder granted, shall be made without the 
written approval of the Commission. Sections 9.1 through 9.3 of the 18 
CFR states that any licensee (transferor) desiring to transfer a 
license and the person, association, corporation, State, or

file an application for Commission's approval of such transfer.
    The application must show that the transfer is in the public 
interest and provide the qualifications of the transferee to hold such 
license and to operate the property under the license. Approval of the 
transfer is contingent upon the transfer of title to the properties 
under the license, transfer of all project files including all dam 
safety related documents, and delivery of all license instruments. The 
application for approval of transfer of license must conform to the 
requirements of sections 131.20 of the 18 CFR, which must include the 
following: application statement by all parties; verification 
statement; proof of citizenship; evidence of compliance by the 
transferor with all applicable state laws or how the transferee 
proposes to comply; and qualifications of the transferee to hold the 
license and operate the project.
    The Commission uses the information collected under the 
requirements of FERC-511 to implement the statutory provisions of 
sections 8 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) and 18 CFR part 9 and 18 CFR 
131.20 of the Commission's regulations. The information filed with the 
Commission is in the format of a written application for transfer of

burden and cost \3\ for the information collection as follows.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Burden is defined 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. See 5

    \3\ The FERC 2022 average salary plus benefits for one FERC

    Comments: Comments are invited on: (1) whether the collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Commission, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden and 
cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The number of respondents has been reduced from 46 to 13 for 
this renewal; this is based on the average number of filings made in 
the past three years.
    \5\ The cost per respondent has not actually increased between 
this renewal and the previous renewal, but a mathematical error has 
been corrected. We estimate the cost per response to be the same: 
$3,640.

    Dated: September 15, 2022.
