SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

information collected under FERC–598 

‘‘Self Certification for Entities Seeking 

Exempt Wholesale Generator or Foreign 

Utility Company Status’’ (OMB Control 

No. 1902–0166) is used by the 

Commission to implement the statutory 

provisions of Title XII, subchapter F of 

the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 

2005).1

EPAct 2005 repealed the Public 

Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 

(PUHCA 1935) in its entirety, including 

section 32, which provided for the 

Commission to exempt wholesale 

generators from PUHCA 1935 on a caseby-case basis, upon application. 

Following the repeal of PUHCA 1935 

and the enactment of PUHCA 2005, in 

Order No. 667 2 the Commission 

amended its regulations to add 

procedures for self-certification by 

entities seeking exempt wholesale 

generator (EWG) and foreign utility 

company (FUCO) status. This selfcertification is similar to the process 

available to entities that seek qualifying 

facility status. 

An EWG is a ‘‘person engaged directly 

or indirectly through one or more 

affiliates, and exclusively in the

business of owning or operating, or both 

owning and operating, all or part of one 

or more eligible facilities and selling 

electric energy at wholesale.’’ 3 A FUCO 

is a company that ‘‘owns or operates 

facilities that are not located in any state 

and that are used for the generation, 

transmission, or distribution of electric 

energy for sale or the distribution at 

retail of natural or manufactured gas for 

heat, light, or power, if such company: 

(1) Derives no part of its income, 

directly or indirectly, from the 

generation, transmission, or distribution 

of electric energy for sale or the 

distribution at retail of natural or 

manufactured gas for heat, light, or 

power, within the United States; and (2) 

neither the company nor any of its 

subsidiary companies is a public-utility 

company operating in the United 

States’’.4

An exempt EWG or FUCO or its 

representative may file with the 

Commission a notice of self certification 

demonstrating that it satisfies the 

definition of exempt wholesale 

generator or foreign utility company. In 

the case of EWGs, the person filing a 

notice of self certification must also file 

a copy of the notice of self certification 

with the state regulatory authority of the 

state in which the facility is located and 

that person must also represent to the 

Commission in its submission that it has 

filed a copy of the notice with the 

appropriate state regulatory authority.5

A submission of the information is 

necessary for the Commission to carry 

out its responsibilities under EPAct 

2005.6 The Commission implements its 

responsibilities through the Code of 

Federal Regulations, 18 CFR Part 366. 

These filing requirements are 

mandatory. 

Action: The Commission is requesting 

a three-year extension of the current 

expiration date, with no change to the 

existing collection of data. 

Burden Statement: Public reporting 

burden for this collection is estimated 

as:

Estimated cost to respondents is 

$72,549.27 [1,194 hours divided by 

2080 hours 7 per year, times $126,384 8

equals $72,549.27]. The average cost per 

respondent is $364.57. 

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 

collections 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.
