SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

information collected under the 

requirements of FERC–603 ‘‘Critical 

Energy Infrastructure Information’’ 

(OMB No. 1902–0197) is used by the 

Commission to implement procedures 

for gaining access to critical energy 

infrastructure information (CEII) that 

would not otherwise be available under 

the Freedom of Information Act (5 USC 

552). On February, 21, 2003, the 

Commission issued Order No. 630 (66 

FR 52917) to address the appropriate 

treatment of CEII in the aftermath of the 

September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and 

to restrict unrestrained general access 

due to the ongoing terrorism threat. 

These steps enable the Commission to 

keep sensitive infrastructure 

information out of the public domain, 

decreasing the likelihood that such 

information could be used to plan or 

execute terrorist attacks. The process 

adopted in Order No. 630 is a more 

efficient alternative for handling 

requests for previously public 

documents than FOIA The Commission 

has defined CEII to include information 

about ‘‘existing or proposed critical 

infrastructure that (i) relates to the 

production, generation, transportation, 

transmission, or distribution of energy; 

(ii) could be useful to a person planning 

an attack on critical infrastructure; (iii) 

is exempt from mandatory disclosure 

under the Freedom of Information Act, 

and (iv) does not simply give the 

location of the critical infrastructure. 

Critical infrastructure means existing 

and proposed systems and assets, 

whether physical or virtual, the 

incapacity or destruction of which 

would negatively affect security, 

economic security, public health or 

safety, or any combination of those 

matters. A person seeking access to CEII 

may file a request for that information 

by providing information about their 

identity and reason as to the need for 

the information. Through this process, 

the Commission is able to review the 

requester’s need for the information 

against the sensitivity of the 

information. The compliance with these 

requirements is mandatory. 

Action: The Commission is requesting 

a three-year extension of the current 

expiration date, with changes to the 

existing collection of data. 

Burden Statement: Public reporting 

burden for this collection is estimated 

as: 

Data collection 

Number of 

respondents 

annually 1

Number of 

responses per 

respondent 

Average 

burden hours 

per response 

Total annual 

burden hours 

(1) (2) (3) (1)×(2)×(3) 

FERC–603 ....................................................................................................... 200 1 .30 60 

1The number of respondents corresponds to the number of requests received annually while recognizing that some CEII requests are filed by 

multiple parties. 

The estimated total cost to 

respondents is $4,080. The cost per 

respondent = $20.40. (60 hours @ $68 

hourly rate (rounded off)). 

The reporting burden includes the 

total time, effort, or financial resources 

expended to generate, maintain, retain, 

disclose, or provide the information 

including: (1) Reviewing instructions; 

(2) developing, acquiring, installing, and 

utilizing technology and systems for the 

purposes of collecting, validating, 

verifying, processing, maintaining, 

disclosing and providing information; 

(3) adjusting the existing ways to 

comply with any previously applicable 

instructions and requirements; (4) 

training personnel to respond to a 

collection of information; (5) searching 

data sources; (6) completing and 

reviewing the collection of information; 

and (7) transmitting or otherwise 

disclosing the information. 

The estimate of cost for respondents 

is based upon salaries for professional 

and clerical support, as well as direct 

and indirect overhead costs. Direct costs 

include all costs directly attributable to 

providing this information, such as 

administrative costs and the cost for 

information technology. Indirect or 

overhead costs are costs incurred by an 

organization in support of its mission. 

These costs apply to activities which 

benefit the whole organization rather 

than any one particular function or 

activity. 

Comments are invited on: (1) Whether 

the proposed 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 of 

the proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, including 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology 

e.g. permitting electronic submission of 

responses.
