SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–716, Good Faith Requests
for Transmission Service and Good
Faith Responses by Transmitting
Utilities.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0170.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–716 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: This information collection
pertains to negotiations between a
generator of electricity and a
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Types of responses
transmitting utility under sections 211
through section 213 1 of the Federal
Power Act (FPA).
Section 211 of the FPA authorizes any
electric utility, Federal power marketing
agency, or any other person generating
electric energy for sale or resale to apply
to the Commission for an order
requiring a transmitting utility to
provide transmission services
(including any enlargement of
transmission capacity necessary to
provide such services) to the applicant.
The Commission may issue such order
if it finds that such an order meets the
requirements of section 212,2 and would
otherwise be in the public interest.
Section 213 provides that whenever
an application for such an order
constitutes a ‘‘good faith request’’ for
service, the transmitting utility must
provide the applicant with a ‘‘detailed
written explanation, with specific
reference to the facts and circumstances
of the request, stating (1) the
transmitting utility’s basis for the
proposed rates, charges, terms, and
conditions for such services, and (2) its
analysis of any physical or other
constraints affecting the provision of
such services.’’
The Commission’s regulation at 18
CFR 2.20 identifies 12 components of a
good faith request for transmission and
5 components of a reply to a good faith
request. The regulation at 18 CFR
2.20(a)(2) provides that the Commission
may issue an order requiring a
transmitting utility to provide
transmission services (including any
enlargement of transmission capacity
necessary to provide such services) only
if: (1) an applicant has made a request
for transmission services to the
transmitting utility that would be the
subject of such order at least 60 days
prior to its filing of an application for
such order, and (2) the applicant has,
pursuant to section 213(a) of the FPA,
made a good faith request to a
transmitting utility to provide wholesale
transmission services and requests
specific rates and charges, and other
terms and conditions.
Type of Respondents: Transmission
Requestors and Transmitting Utilities.
Estimate of Annual Burden: The
Commission estimates the average
annual burden 3 and cost 4 for this
information collection as follows.

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 collections
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information
collections; and (4) ways to minimize
the burden of the collections of
information on those who are to
respond, including the use of automated
1 16
U.S.C. 824j, 824k, and 824l.
212 requires that, subject to appropriate
terms and conditions and just and reasonable rates,
access to the electric transmission system for the
purposes of wholesale transactions is made widely
available.
