45434 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 169 / Wednesday, September 2, 2009 / Notices 

1This information collection has been labeled 

‘‘FERC–913’’, ‘‘FERC–913/516’’, and ‘‘FERC– 

913(Temporary)’’ with a goal of incorporating it 

later into FERC–516 (OMB Control No. 1902–0096). 

In addition, in Order No. 681 (in Docket No. RM06– 

8, issued 7/20/06), the burden was listed as part of 

FERC–516. OMB approved the new reporting 

requirements on 1/24/07 and assigned OMB Control 

No. 1902–0236 (rather than including it in FERC– 

516). 

On 9/28/07 (in ICR Nos. 200610–1902–002 and 

200709–1902–008), OMB approved transfer from 

OMB Control No. 1902–0236 to OMB Control No. 

1902–0245. However, OMB Control No. 1902–0245 

does not indicate a FERC collection number. To 

eliminate some of the confusion, we have assigned 

these requirements a new FERC collection number, 

FERC–732. The new collection number does not 

affect the regulatory requirements or burden. 

In the future, FERC plans to incorporate the 

FERC–732 reporting requirements and related 

burden into the FERC–516. However, FERC–516 is 

currently the subject of OMB review, so the 

Commission will track these requirements (and the 

related burden hours) separately under FERC–732. 

FERC–516 is not a subject of this Notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To 

implement section 1233 of the Energy 

Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) (which 

added new section 217 to the Federal 

Power Act (FPA)), the Commission 

requires each transmission organization 

that is a public utility with one or more 

organized electricity markets to make 

available long-term firm transmission 

rights that satisfy each of the 

Commission’s guidelines. The reporting 

requirements of FERC–732,1 (‘‘Electric 

Rate Schedules and Tariffs: Long-Term 

Firm Transmission Rights in Organized 

Electricity Markets,’’ OMB Control 

Number 1902–0245) pertain to these 

long-term transmission rights and are 

described in 18 CFR part 42. 

The FERC–732 regulations require 

that transmission organizations that are 

public utilities with one or more 

organized electricity markets either: (a) 

File tariff sheets making long-term firm 

transmission rights available that are 

consistent with each of the guidelines 

established by FERC, or (b) file an 

explanation describing how their 

existing tariffs already provide longterm firm transmission rights that are 

consistent with the guidelines. In 

addition, each transmission 

organization is required to make its 

transmission planning and expansion 

procedures and plans publicly available. 

FERC–732 enables the Commission to 

exercise its wholesale electric rate and 

electric power transmission oversight 

and enforcement responsibilities in

3The Bureau of Labor Statistics, Department of 

Labor Occupational Handbook (‘May 2008 National 

Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates 

[United States],’ at http://www.bls.gov/oes/2008/ 

may/oes_nat.htm#b23-0000) shows the mean 

annual salary for a lawyer is $124,750, or $59.98 per 

hour. 

accordance with the FPA, the 

Department of Energy Organization Act 

(DOE Act), and EPAct 2005. Action: The 

Commission is requesting a three-year 

extension of the current expiration date, 

with no change to the reporting 

requirements. 

Burden Statement: The public 

reporting burden for this collection is 

estimated to be as follows: 

FERC–732 1

Number of 

respondents 

annually 

Number of 

responses per 

respondent 

Average 

burden hours

Total annual 

burden hours

New Transmission Organizations with Organized Electricity Markets—filing

Existing & New Transmission Organizations with Organized Markets—making plans & procedures available to public .................................................. 6 1 2 12 

Total Annual Estimate .............................................................................. ........................ ........................ ........................ 1,192 

Any transmission organization 

approved by the Commission for 

operation after January 29, 2007, that 

has one or more organized electricity 

markets (administered either by it or by 

another entity), will be required to 

comply with the FERC–732 reporting 

requirements. Although it is difficult to 

predict whether the Commission will 

receive an application for, and approve, 

a transmission organization in the 

foreseeable future, the regulations, 

reporting requirements, and burden of 

FERC–732 merit continued renewal of 

the OMB (Office of Management and 

Budget) clearance. As a result, we are 

including a ‘placeholder’ estimate of 1 

respondent and 1 response annually for 

the filing requirement. In addition, each 

existing transmission organization 

subject to Part 42 must make its 

transmission planning and expansion 

procedures and plans publicly available 

(under 18 CFR 42.1(c)(4)) for an 

estimated burden of 2 hours per 

respondent. 

The estimated total cost to 

respondents is $71,491.35 [1,192 hours 

divided by 2,080 hours 2 per year, times 

$124,750 3 equals $71,491.35]. The 

estimated cost per respondent is 

$70,771.63 for new transmission 

organizations, and $119.95 for existing 

transmission organizations. 

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 respondent’s cost estimate is 

based on 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 burden estimate 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 

respondent information collection 

burden.
