Interventions
Any person has the option to file a
motion to intervene in this proceeding.
Only intervenors have the right to
request rehearing of Commission orders
issued in this proceeding and to
subsequently challenge the
Commission’s orders in the U.S. Circuit
Courts of Appeal.
To intervene, you must submit a
motion to intervene to the Commission
in accordance with Rule 214 of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure 5 and the regulations under
the NGA 6 by the intervention deadline
for the project, which is January 31,
2023. As described further in Rule 214,
your motion to intervene must state, to
the extent known, your position
regarding the proceeding, as well as
your interest in the proceeding. For an
individual, this could include your
status as a landowner, ratepayer,
resident of an impacted community, or
recreationist. You do not need to have
property directly impacted by the
project in order to intervene. For more
information about motions to intervene,
refer to the FERC website at https://
www.ferc.gov/how-guides.
All timely, unopposed motions to
intervene are automatically granted by
operation of Rule 214(c)(1). Motions to
intervene that are filed after the
intervention deadline are untimely and
may be denied. Any late-filed motion to
intervene must show good cause for
being late and must explain why the
time limitation should be waived and
provide justification by reference to
factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the
Commission’s Rules and Regulations. A
person obtaining party status will be
placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and
will receive copies (paper or electronic)
of all documents filed by the applicant
and by all other parties.

the project may do so. The Commission
considers all comments received about
the project in determining the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–725J (Definition of the
Bulk Electric System).
OMB Control No.: 1902–0259.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–725J with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: On December 20, 2012, the
Commission issued Order No. 773, a
Final Rule approving NERC’s
modifications to the definition of ‘‘bulk
electric system’’ and the Rules of
Procedure exception process to be
effective July 1, 2013. On April 18,
2013, in Order No. 773–A, the
Commission largely affirmed its
findings in Order No. 773. In Order Nos.
773 and 773–A, the Commission
directed NERC to modify the definition
of bulk electric system in two respects:
(1) modify the local network exclusion
(exclusion E3) to remove the 100 kV
minimum operating voltage to allow
systems that include one or more looped
configurations connected below 100 kV
to be eligible for the local network
exclusion; and (2) modify the exclusions
to ensure that generator interconnection
facilities at or above 100 kV connected
to bulk electric system generators
identified in inclusion I2 are not
excluded from the bulk electric system.1
Each year the Regions and NERC may
need to act on exception requests
submitted by U.S. only transmission
owners, generator owners and
distribution providers. We have revised
the estimate for exception requests from
20 exception requests to 10, which is
more accurate to the volume of received
exception requests. Regarding
Implementation Plans and Compliance,
FERC estimates that 10% of the U.S.
registered entities may have to perform
this task on a continuing basis.
Type of Respondents: Generator
owners, distribution providers, other
NERC-registered entities.
Estimate of Annual Burden.2 The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden and cost 3 for the
information collection as:
1 Revisions to Electric Reliability Organization
Definition of Bulk Electric System and Rules of
Procedure, Order No. 773, 141 FERC ¶ 61,236
(2012); order on reh’g, Order No. 773–A, 143 FERC
¶ 61,053 (2013); order on reh’g and clarification,
144 FERC ¶ 61,174 (2013); aff’d sub nom., People
of the State of New York and the Pub. Serv.
Comm’n of New York v. FERC, No. 13–2316 (2d.
Cir. 2015). On June 13, 2013, the Commission
granted NERC’s request for extension of time and
extended the effective date for the revised
definition of bulk electric system and the Rules of
Procedure exception process to July 1, 2014.
Revisions to Electric Reliability Organization
Definition of Bulk Electric System and Rules of
Procedure, 143 FERC ¶ 61,231, at P 13 (2013). On
March 20, 2014, the Commission approved NERC’s
revisions to the definition of bulk electric system
and determined the revisions either adequately
address the Commission’s Order Nos. 773 and 773–
A directives or provide an equally effective and
efficient approach. See order approving revised
definition, 146 FERC ¶ 61,199 (2014).
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 CFR
1320 for additional information on the definition of
information collection burden.
3 The estimated hourly cost (salary plus benefits)
is based on the figures for August 2022 posted by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the Utilities sector
(available at Sector 22—Utilities—May 2021 OEWS
Industry-Specific Occupational Employment and
Wage Estimates (bls.gov)) and updated June 2022
for benefits information (at Employer Costs for
Employee Compensation Summary—2022 Q01
Results (bls.gov)). The hourly estimates for salary
plus benefits are:
—Legal (code 23–0000), $145.35
—File Clerks (code 43–4071), $34.38
—Electrical Engineer (code 17–2071), $77.02
The average hourly burden cost for this collection
is $85.58 [($145.35 + $34.38 + $ 77.02)/3 = $85.58]
and is rounded to $86.00 an hour.
