FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: FERC–582, Electric Fees, Annual Charges, Waivers, and Exemptions. OMB Control No.: 1902–0132. Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC–582 information collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting requirements. Abstract: The information required by FERC–582 is listed at 18 CFR parts 381 and 382. The Commission uses the FERC–582 information to implement the Independent Offices Appropriation Act of 1952.1 That statute authorizes the Commission to establish fees for its services. In addition, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 2 authorizes the Commission to assess and collect fees and annual charges in any fiscal year in amounts equal to all the costs incurred by the Commission in that fiscal year. To comply with the collection of information at FERC–582, respondents must submit to the Commission the sum of the megawatt-hours (MWh) of all unbundled transmission (including MWh delivered in wheeling transactions and MWh delivered in exchange transactions) and the megawatt-hours of all bundled wholesale power sales (to the extent the bundled wholesale power sales were not separately reported as unbundled transmission). The data collected in the FERC–582 information collection are drawn directly from the FERC Form 1(Annual Report of Major Electric Utilities, Licensees and Others) 3 transmission data. The Commission sums the costs of its electric regulatory 41431 program and subtracts all electric regulatory program filing fee collections to determine the total collectible electric regulatory program costs. Then, the Commission uses the data submitted under FERC–582 to determine the total megawatt-hours of transmission of electric energy in interstate commerce. Respondents (public utilities and power marketers) subject to these annual charges must submit FERC–582 data to the Commission by April 30 of each year.4 The Commission issues bills for annual charges to respondents. Then, respondents must pay the charges within 45 days of the Commission’s issuance of the bill. Respondents may file requests for waivers and exemptions of fees and charges 5 based on need. The Commission’s staff uses the filer’s financial information to evaluate the request for a waiver or exemption of the obligation to pay a fee or an annual charge. The Commission published a 60-day notice for FERC–582 on March 7, 2024 (89 FR 16556), with a comment due date of May 6, 2024. The Commission received no comments in response.
