66708 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 209 / Friday, October 29, 2010 / Proposed Rules 

31Order No. 486, Regulations Implementing the 

National Environmental Policy Act, 52 FR 47897 

(Dec. 17, 1987), FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 30,783 (1987). 

32 18 CFR 380.4(a)(5). 

33 5 U.S.C. 601–12. 

34The RFA definition of ‘‘small entity’’ refers to 

the definition provided in the Small Business Act 

(SBA), which defines a ‘‘small business concern’’ as 

a business that is independently owned and 

operated and that is not dominant in its field of 

operation. See 15 U.S.C. 632. According to the SBA, 

a small electric utility is defined as one that has a 

total electric output of less than four million MWh 

in the preceding year. 

38. Total Annual hours for Collection: 

36 reporting + 36 recordkeeping = 72 

hours. 

Information Collection Costs: The 

Commission seeks comments on the 

costs to comply with these 

requirements. It has projected the 

average annualized cost to be $5,760, as 

shown below: 

Reporting = 36 hours @ $120/hour = 

$4,320 

Recordkeeping = 36 hours @ $40/hour = 

$1,440 

Total Costs = Reporting ($4,320) + 

Recordkeeping ($1,440) = $5,760 

39. Interested persons may obtain 

information on the reporting 

requirements by contacting: Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426 

[Attention: Ellen Brown, Office of the 

Executive Director, Phone: (202) 502– 

8663, fax: (202) 273–0873, e-mail: 

DataClearance@ferc.gov]. Comments on 

the requirements of the proposed rule 

may also be sent to the Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget, 

Washington, DC 20503 [Attention: Desk 

Officer for the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission]. For security 

reasons, comments should be sent by email to OMB at: 

oira_submission@omb.eop.gov. Please 

reference OMB Control Number 1902– 

0246 and the docket number of this 

proposed rulemaking in your 

submission. 

V. Environmental Analysis 

40. The Commission is required to 

prepare an Environmental Assessment 

or an Environmental Impact Statement 

for any action that may have a 

significant adverse effect on the human 

environment.31 The actions proposed 

here fall within the categorical 

exclusion in the Commission’s 

regulations for rules that are clarifying, 

corrective or procedural, for information 

gathering, analysis, and 

dissemination.32 Accordingly, neither 

an environmental impact statement nor 

environmental assessment is required. 

VI. Regulatory Flexibility Act Analysis 

41. The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 

1980 (RFA) 33 generally requires a 

description and analysis of final rules 

that will have significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities. Most of the entities (i.e., 

reliability coordinators and balancing 

authorities) to which the requirements 

of this Rule would apply do not fall 

within the definition of small entities.34

The Commission estimates that only 2– 

4 of the 35 balancing authorities (or a 

maximum of 11.4%) are small. The 

proposed Reliability Standard reflects a 

modification of existing requirements. 

Based on the foregoing, the Commission 

certifies that this Rule will not have a 

significant impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. Accordingly, 

no regulatory flexibility analysis is 

required. 

VII. Comment Procedures 

42. The Commission invites interested 

persons to submit comments on the 

matters and issues proposed in this 

notice to be adopted, including any 

related matters or alternative proposals 

that commenters may wish to discuss. 

Comments are due December 28, 2010. 

Comments must refer to Docket No. 

RM09–19–000, and must include the 

commenter’s name, the organization 

they represent, if applicable, and their 

address in their comments. 

43. The Commission encourages 

comments to be filed electronically via 

the eFiling link on the Commission’s 

Web site at http://www.ferc.gov. The 

Commission accepts most standard 

word processing formats. Documents 

created electronically using word 

processing software should be filed in 

native applications or print-to-PDF 

format and not in a scanned format. 

Commenters filing electronically do not 

need to make a paper filing. 

44. Commenters that are not able to 

file comments electronically must send 

an original copy of their comments to: 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 

Secretary of the Commission, 888 First

1. The Commission initiated this 

proceeding to amend the Commercial 

Radio Operators rules, and related rules 

in parts 0, 1, 80, and 87 regarding 

certain functions performed by licensed 

commercial radio operators (COLEMs). 

Specifically, the Commission proposed 

in the NPRM to amend the commercial 

radio operator rules to: (1) Cease 

granting new First and Third Class 

Radiotelegraph Operator’s Certificates, 

and seek comment on extending the 

current five-year license for 

radiotelegraph operator certificates to 

ten years or the lifetime of the holder; 

(2) eliminate prohibitions against 

holding two licenses at the same time, 

and restrictive endorsements; and 

(3) make the COLEMs responsible for 

maintaining the question pools for 

commercial radio operator 

examinations, stop requiring them to 

submit examination-related records on a 

regular basis, and make additional 

administrative changes relating to the 

examinations such as recordkeeping, 

electronic filing, and submission of 

records to the Commission. In the 

NPRM, the Commission also seeks 

comment on whether and how to 

harmonize the part 80 equipment testing 

and logging requirements, and proposes 

other administrative and editorial 

amendments.
