Abstract: The information collection

include posting requirements in
compliance with Federal Power Act
sections 206. Furthermore, the
requirements for posting are described
in the Commission’s pro forma Open
Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) that
is prescribed by 18 CFR 35.28 to ensure
non-discriminatory practices in electric
energy systems and markets.
Additionally, the specifications to

part 37 (Open Access Same Time

regulations.
The FERC 917 and 918 information

the OATT 1 and the burden related to
