SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–725HH, RF Reliability
Standards.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0256.
Type of Request: Three-year renewal
of FERC–725HH.
Abstract: This collection of
information pertains to the
Commission’s compliance with section
215 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) (16
U.S.C. 824o), which enables the
Commission to strengthen the reliability
of the ‘‘bulk-power system.’’ 1 The
Commission’s implementation of FPA
section 215 involves review and
approval of a system of mandatory
Reliability Standards that are
established and enforced by an ‘‘Electric
Reliability Organization’’ (ERO).2 The
Commission has certified the North
American Electric Reliability
Corporation (NERC) as the ERO.3
1 FPA section 251(a)(1) defines ‘‘bulk-power
system’’ as follows: ‘‘(A) facilities and control
systems necessary for operating an interconnected
electric energy transmission network (or any
portion thereof); and (B) electric energy from
generation facilities needed to maintain
transmission system reliability. The term does not
include facilities used in the local distribution of
electric energy.’’
2 FPA section 215(a)(2) defines ‘‘Electric
Reliability Organization’’ as ‘‘the organization
certified by the Commission under subsection (c)
the purpose of which is to establish and enforce
reliability standards for the bulk-power system,
subject to Commission review.’’

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 73 / Monday, April 15, 2024 / Notices
Reliability Standards that the ERO
proposes to the Commission may
include Reliability Standards that are
proposed to the ERO by a Regional
Entity.4 A Regional Entity is an entity
that has been approved by the
Commission to enforce Reliability
Standards under delegated authority
from the ERO.5 On March 17, 2011, the
Commission approved a regional
Reliability Standard submitted by the
ERO that was developed by the
Reliability First Corporation (RF).6
RF promotes bulk electric system
reliability in the Eastern
Interconnection. RF is the Regional
Entity responsible for compliance
monitoring and enforcement in the RF
region. In addition, RF provides an
environment for the development of
Reliability Standards and the
coordination of the operating and
planning activities of its members as set
forth in the RF bylaws.
26139
There is one regional Reliability
Standard in the RF region. The
Commission requests renewal of OMB
clearance for that regional Reliability
Standard, known as BAL–502–RF–03
(Planning Resource Adequacy Analysis,
Assessment and Documentation).
Type of Respondents: Planning
coordinators.

(1) whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the

(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

Docket No. CP82–537–000 for
authorization to install certain facilities
in Greene County, Pennsylvania;
Marshall County, West Virginia; and
Monroe County, Ohio (Heartland
Extension Project). EGTS proposes to
install a 7,700 horsepower gas-fired,
turbine-driven compressor unit at its
Crayne Compressor Station and install
additional upgrades at its Mullett, Burch
Ridge, and Mockingbird Hill
Compressor Stations. The Heartland
Extension Project is fully subscribed
and will deliver 60,000 dekatherms per
day of firm transportation service to an
existing interconnection with Rockies
Express Pipeline LLC in Clarington,
Ohio. EGTS estimates the cost of the
project to be $34,380,000, all as more

Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), as of 2022, for 75%
of the average of an Electrical Engineer (17–2071)
$77.29/hr, 77.29 × .75 = 57.9675 ($57.97—rounded)
($57.97/hour) and 25% of an Information and
Record Clerk (43–4199) $39.58/hr, $39.58 × .25% =
9.895 ($9.90 rounded) ($9.90/hour), for a total
($57.97 + $9.90 = $67.87/hour).
