required to separate their transmission
operations/reliability functions from
their marketing/merchant functions and
prevent system operators from

Type of Respondents: Transmission

Estimate of Annual Burden: 10 The
previous information collection request

in the year 2020 was approved by OMB
with a one-time burden that was
expected to be completed in Year One.

transmission products offered to
Transmission Customers. Paragraph (d)
of 18 CFR 37.6 requires Transmission
Providers to post any ancillary service
required to be provided or offered under
the pro forma OATT.
Standards of Conduct
The Commission established
Standards of Conduct at 18 CFR 37.4
requiring that personnel engaged in
transmission system operations function
independently from personnel engaged
in marketing functions. The Standards
of Conduct were designed to prevent
employees of a public utility (or any of
its affiliates) engaged in marketing
functions from preferential access to
As averaged over a three-year period,
the annual responses were estimated as
165 annually, 10 hours per response,
and total hours of 1,650 hours. These
burdens are not included in this
information collection request because
all respondents have complied with that
one-time burden. The removal of those
burdens constitutes a program change.
The estimated annual number of
responses for the ongoing information
collection activity are adjusted in this
information collection request from 162
to 216, an increase of 54 responses.
Based on a review of the information
collection since our last submission, we
have determined this change in number
of responses is due to changes in the
regulated industry.
The current burden estimates are
shown in the following table.

Procedure 7 and the regulations under
the NGA 8 by the intervention deadline
for the project, which is October 27,

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,

proceeding. To become a party, you must intervene in the proceeding.

municipalities, and other entities,\6\ has the option to file a motion
to intervene in this proceeding. Only intervenors have the right to

subsequently challenge the Commission's orders in the U.S. Circuit
Courts of Appeal.

obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies (paper or
