Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 80 / Wednesday, April 24, 2024 / Notices
No. 760,1 to detect potential anticompetitive or manipulative behavior or
ineffective market rules by requiring
Regional Transmission Organizations
(RTO) and Independent System
Operators (ISO) to electronically submit,
on a continuous basis, data relating to
physical and virtual offers and bids,
market awards, resource outputs,
marginal cost estimates, shift factors,
financial transmission rights, internal
bilateral contracts, uplift, and
interchange pricing. Although provision
was made by the Commission that
market monitoring units (MMUs) may
provide datasets, all data for this
collection has (and is expected to
continue to) come from each RTO or
ISO and not the MMUs. Therefore, any
associated burden is counted as a
burden on RTOs and ISOs.
While the ongoing delivery of data
under FERC–921 is continuous and
routine, each RTO or ISO makes
sporadic changes to its individual
market with Commission approval.
When those changes occur, the RTO or
ISO may need to change the data being
routinely sent to the Commission to
ensure compliance with Order No. 760.
Such changes typically require
respondents to alter the ongoing
delivery of data under FERC–921.
Type of Respondent: Regional
Transmission Organizations (RTOs) and
Independent System Operators (ISOs).
Estimate of Annual Burden: 2 The
Commission estimates the total annual
burden and cost for this information
collection by calculating the total hourly
cost (including both mean wages and
benefits) of three occupations and then
by multiplying that total hourly cost by

(1) whether the collection of
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 collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information collection;
and (4) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

Agency (EPA) has submitted an
information collection request (ICR), Air
Emission Standards for Tanks, Surface
Impoundments and Containers (EPA
ICR Number 1593.12, OMB Control
Number 2060–0318) to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval in accordance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a
proposed extension of the ICR, which is
currently approved through April 30,
2024. Public comments were previously
requested via the Federal Register on
December 11, 2023 during a 60-day
comment period. This notice allows for
30 days for public comments.

4 Each RTO/ISO electronically submits data daily.
To match with past filings, we are considering the
collection of daily responses to be a single response.
5 The hour burden associated with a ‘‘Data
Delivery Change Over the Year’’ varies considerably
based on the significance of the specific change;
therefore, the estimate is intended to reflect the
incremental burden for an average change. Based on
historical patterns, staff estimates there to be about
one and a half changes of this nature per RTO or
ISO per year. Based on our estimate that the total
time required for a single change is 320 hours, and
there are, on average, 1.5 changes annually, the total
time for this category of response is 480 hours (1.5
× 320 hours).
