SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: FERC–725I (Mandatory Reliability Standards for the Northeast Power Coordinating Council). OMB Control No.: 1902–0258. Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC–725I with no changes to the current recordkeeping requirements. Abstract: The Regional Reliability standard PRC–006–NPCC–2 (Automatic Underfrequency Load Shedding (UFLS)) provides regional requirements for Automatic UFLS to applicable entities in NPCC. UFLS requirements were in place at a continent-wide level and within NPCC for many years prior to the implementation of federally mandated reliability standards in 2007. NPCC and its members think that a region-wide, fully coordinated single set of UFLS requirements is necessary to create an effective and efficient UFLS program, and their experience has supported that belief. Information collection burden for Reliability Standard PRC–006–NPCC–2 is based on the time needed for planning coordinators and generator owners to incrementally gather data, run studies, and analyze study results to design or update the UFLS programs that are required in the regional Reliability Standard (in addition to the requirements of the NERC Reliability Standard PRC–006–3). There is also burden on the generator owners to maintain data such as identify, compile, and maintain a list of all of its existing non-nuclear generating units that were in service prior to the effective date of the regional Standard. Type of Respondent: Generator owners and planning coordinators. Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The number of respondents is based on NERC’s Registry as of November 4, 2022. Entities registered for more than one applicable function type have been accounted for in the figures below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: FERC-725I (Mandatory Reliability Standards for the Northeast 
Power Coordinating Council).
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0258.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-725I with no 
changes to the current recordkeeping requirements.
    Abstract: The Regional Reliability standard PRC-006-NPCC-2 
(Automatic Underfrequency Load Shedding (UFLS)) provides regional 
requirements for Automatic UFLS to applicable entities in NPCC. UFLS 
requirements were in place at a continent-wide level and within NPCC 
for many years prior to the implementation of federally mandated 
reliability standards in 2007. NPCC and its members think that a 
region-wide, fully coordinated single set of UFLS requirements is 
necessary to create an effective and efficient UFLS program, and their 
experience has supported that belief.
    Information collection burden for Reliability Standard PRC-006-
NPCC-2 is based on the time needed for planning coordinators and 
generator owners to incrementally gather data, run studies, and analyze 
study results to design or update the UFLS programs that are required 
in the regional Reliability Standard (in addition to the requirements 
of the NERC Reliability Standard PRC-006-3). There is also burden on 
the generator owners to maintain data such as identify, compile, and 
maintain a list of all of its existing non-nuclear generating units 
that were in service prior to the effective date of the regional 
Standard.
    Type of Respondent: Generator owners and planning coordinators.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: \1\ The number of respondents is based 
on NERC's Registry as of November 4, 2022. Entities registered for more 
than one applicable function type have been accounted for in the 
figures below. The Commission estimates the annual public reporting 
burden and cost \2\ for the information collection as:

    \1\ ``Burden'' is 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.
    \2\ Commission staff estimates that the industry's skill set and 
cost (for wages and benefits) for FERC-725I are approximately the 
same as the Commission's average cost. The FERC 2022 average salary 
plus benefits for one FERC full-time equivalent (FTE) is $188,922/
year (or $91.00/hour).
