SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FERC–715 (‘‘Annual Transmission 

Planning and Evaluation Report,’’ OMB 

Control No. 1902–0171) is a mandatory 

filing described at 18 CFR 141.300. The 

FERC–715 must be submitted by each 

transmitting utility that operates 

integrated (that is, non-radial) 

transmission facilities at or above 100 

kilovolts. [An overview and instructions 

for filing the FERC–715 are posted on 

the FERC Web site at: http:// 

www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/eforms/form715/instructions.asp.] 

Section 213 (b) of the Federal Power 

Act (FPA), as amended by the Energy 

Policy Act of 1992, requires FERC to 

collect, annually from transmitting 

utilities, sufficient information about 

their transmission systems to inform 

potential transmission customers, state 

regulatory authorities, and the public, of 

available transmission capacity and 

constraints. FERC–715 also supports the 

Commission’s expanded responsibilities 

under Sections 211, 212, 213(a), 304, 

307(a), 309, and 311 of the FPA, as 

amended, for reviewing reliability 

issues, market structure relationships, 

and in rate and other regulatory 

proceedings. 

Action: The Commission is requesting 

a three-year extension of the current 

reporting requirements, with no change. 

Burden Statement: Public reporting 

burden for this collection is estimated as 

follows. 

FERC data collection 

Number of 

respondents 

annually 

Number of responses per 

respondent 

Average burden hours per 

response 

Total annual 

burden hours 

(1) (2) (3) (1) × (2) × (3) 

FERC–715 ....................................................................................................... 183 1 160 29,280

Note: These figures may not be exact, due 

to rounding. 

The total estimated annual cost 

burden 1 to respondents is $1,806,026.90 

{[(29,280 hrs.)/(2,080 hrs./yr.)] × 

($128,297 per yr.)}. 

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.
