1These figures are based on a limited survey of 

8 respondents. The average estimated annual 

burden per respondent (and filing) is 87 hours. 

Using the number of hours spent by each specific 

job title or level, the estimated annual staff cost was 

calculated based on the nationwide average annual 

salary for various levels of engineers, found in the 

Occupational Outlook Handbook (2008–09 Edition) 

[posted on the Bureau of Labor Statistics website at 

http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos027.htm]. The 

estimated average annual staff cost for preparing the 

FERC–714 was $3,603. The respondents surveyed 

had additional costs of $514, on average per year. 

Therefore the total estimated average annual cost 

per respondent is $4,117.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FERC–714 

(Annual Electric Balancing Authority 

Area and Planning Area Report 

(formerly called ‘‘Annual Electric 

Control and Planning Area Report’’), 

OMB No. 1902–0140) is used by the 

Commission to implement Sections 4, 

202, 207, 210, 211–213, 304, 309 and 

311 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) as 

amended (49 Stat. 838: 16 U.S.C. 791 a825r), Section 3(4) of Public Utility 

Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, 26 

U.S.C. 2602 and sections 1211, 1221, 

1231, 1241 and 1242 of the Energy 

Policy Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109–58) (119 

Stat. 594). The filing requirements are 

found at 18 CFR 141.51. The 

information allows the Commission to 

analyze power system operations, to 

estimate the effect of changes in power 

system operations that result from the 

installation of a new generating unit or 

plant, transmission facilities, energy 

transfers between systems and/or new 

points of interconnections. The analyses 

also serve to correlate rates and charges, 

assess reliability and other operating 

attributes in regulatory proceedings, 

monitor market trends and behaviors, 

and determine the competitive impacts 

of proposed mergers, acquisitions and 

dispositions. 

Action: The Commission is requesting 

a three-year extension of the current 

expiration date for the FERC–714, with 

no changes to the reporting 

requirements. 

Burden Statement: There has been an 

administrative change in the burden 

estimate due to: (1) An informal, limited 

survey of respondents in order to obtain 

improved estimates of both the burden 

and cost, (2) a change in the number of 

filers resulting from the formation of 

regional transmission organizations (and 

other similar entities) encompassing 

numerous former Control Areas 

(Balancing Authority Areas), and (3) the 

switch to an all-electronic filing in 2007 

(from a paper and diskette filing). Public 

reporting burden for this collection is 

estimated as follows.

[Note: These figures may not be exact, due to rounding.] 

The total estimated annual cost 

burden 1 to respondents is $885,155 

(215 respondents × $4,117 per 

respondent). 

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 collections of information 

are 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 

estimates of the burden of the proposed 

collections 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.
