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

The total estimated annual cost 

burden 2 to respondents is $611,446.22 

[(9,913 hours/2,080 hours per year) × 

$128,297/year]. The average annual cost 

per respondent is $7,193.48. 

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 log of data used to allocate capacity 

and the transportation discount 

information pipelines required to post 

and/or maintain under 18 CFR 250.16 

are still being used, (2) whether the 

format for submitting data prescribed in 

the FERC Form No. 592 needs to be 

updated, (3) 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; (4) 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; (5) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (6) 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.
