SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

information collected under the 

requirements of FERC–585 ‘‘Reporting 

of Electric Energy Shortages and 

Contingency Plans under PURPA’’ 

(OMB No. 1902–0138) is used by the 

Commission to implement the statutory 

provisions of section 206 of the Public 

Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1979 

(PURPA) Public Law 95–617, 92 Stat. 

3117. Section 206 of PURPA amended 

the Federal Power Act (FPA) by adding 

a new subsection (g) to section 202, 

under which the Commission by rule, 

was to require each public utility to (1) 

report to the Commission and 

appropriate state regulatory authorities 

of any anticipated shortages of electric 

energy or capacity which would affect 

the utility’s capability to serve its 

wholesale customers; and (2) report to 

the Commission and any appropriate 

state regulatory authority contingency 

plan that would outline what 

circumstances might give rise to such 

occurrences.

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 18 / Thursday, January 29, 2009 / Notices 5151 

In Order No. 575, the Commission 

modified the reporting requirements in 

18 CFR 294.101(b) to provide that, if a 

public utility includes in its rates 

schedule, provisions that: (a) During 

electric energy and capacity shortages it 

will treat firm power wholesale 

customers without undue 

discrimination or preference; and (b) it 

will report any modifications to its 

contingency plan for accommodating 

shortages within 15 days to the 

appropriate state regulatory agency and 

to the affected wholesale customers, 

then the utility need not file with the 

Commission an additional statement of 

contingency plan for accommodating 

such shortages. This revision merely 

changed the reporting mechanism; the 

public utility’s contingency plan would 

be located in its filed rate rather than in 

a separate document. 

In Order No. 659, the Commission 

modified the reporting requirements in 

18 CFR 294.101(e) to provide that the 

means by which public utilities must 

comply with the requirements to report 

shortages and anticipated shortages is to 

submit this information electronically 

using the Office of Electric Reliability’s 

pager system at emergency@ferc.gov in 

lieu of submitting an original and two 

copies with the Secretary of the 

Commission. 

The Commission uses the information 

to evaluate and formulate an 

appropriate option for action in the 

event an unanticipated shortage is 

reported and/or materializes. Without 

this information, the Commission and 

State agencies would be unable to: (1) 

Examine and approve or modify utility 

actions, (2) prepare a response to 

anticipated disruptions in electric 

energy, and (3) ensure equitable 

treatment of all public utility customers 

under the shortage situations. The 

Commission implements these filing 

requirements in the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR Part 

294. 

Action: The Commission is requesting 

a three-year extension of the current 

expiration date, with no changes to the 

existing collection of data. 

Burden Statement: Public reporting 

burden for this collection is estimated 

at: 

FERC data collection (FERC–585) 

Number of 

respondents 

annually 

(1) 

Number of 

responses per 

respondent 

(2) 

Average 

burden hours 

per response 

(3) 

Total annual 

burden 

hours 

(1) × (2) × (3) 

Contingency Plan ......................................................................................... 1 1 73 73 

Capacity Shortage ....................................................................................... 1 1 0 .25 0 .25 

Estimated annual cost to respondents 

is $4,450.78 (73.25 hours/2,080 hours 

per year times $126,384 per year average 

per employee = $4,450.78). 

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.

Secretary.
