SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FERC–516H, Electric Rate 

Schedules and Tariff Filings, Pro Forma 

Open Access Transmission Tariff. 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0303. 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–516H information 

collection requirements with no changes 

to the current reporting requirements. 

Abstract: This information collection 

request pertains to a final rule 1 that, 

pursuant to section 206 of the Federal 

Power Act (FPA),2 requires respondents 

that are subject to 18 CFR 35.28 to 

submit compliance filings within 120 

days of the effective date of the final 

rule that add a new Attachment M to 

their pro forma Open Access 

Transmission Tariffs (OATTs). The 

effective date of the final rule is March 

14, 2022. The OATT compliance filing 

is due July 12, 2022. 

FERC 516H: The regulation at 18 CFR 

35.28, which pertains to nondiscriminatory open access transmission 

tariffs, applies to: 

• Commission-jurisdictional public 

utilities that own, control, or operate 

facilities used for the transmission of 

electric energy in interstate commerce; 

and 

• Non-jurisdictional utilities that seek 

voluntary compliance with 

jurisdictional transmission tariff 

reciprocity conditions. 

In Order No. 881, the Commission 

added 18 CFR 35.28(c)(5) to require any 

public utility that owns transmission 

facilities that are not under the public 

utility’s control to, consistent with the 

pro forma OATT required by 18 CFR 

35.28(c)(1), share with the public utility 

that controls such facilities (and its 

Market Monitoring Unit(s), if 

applicable): 

(i) Transmission line ratings for each 

period for which transmission line 

ratings are calculated for such facilities 

(with updated ratings shared each time 

ratings are calculated); and 

(ii) Written transmission line rating 

methodologies used to calculate the 

transmission line ratings for such 

facilities provided under subparagraph 

(i), above. 

Additionally, 18 CFR 35.28(c) 

requires each public utility transmission 

provider to have on file with the 

Commission and adhere to the 

Commission’s pro forma Open Access 

Transmission Tariff (OATT). In Order 

No. 881, the Commission added 

Attachment M of the Commission’s pro 

forma OATT to require each 

jurisdictional transmission provider to 

maintain on the password-protected 

section of its OASIS page or on another 

password-protected website a database 

of transmission line ratings and 

transmission line rating methodologies. 

Such transmission line ratings and 

transmission line rating methodologies 

are to be calculated and provided by 

transmission owners. The database must 

include a full record of all transmission 

line ratings, both as used in real-time 

operations, and as used for all future 

periods for which transmission service 

is offered. Additionally, Attachment M 

of the Commission’s pro forma OATT 

requires transmission providers, as the 

regulated entities, to share transmission 

line ratings and methodologies with any 

transmission provider(s) upon request 

and in a timely manner. 

Type of Respondent: Transmission 

Owners. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 3 The 

Commission estimates the annual public 

reporting burden for the information 

collection as below:

FERC–516H (Control No. 1902–0303) 

Transmission owners update forecasts and ratings, and share transmission line ratings and facility ratings methodologies w/transmission providers and, if applicable, RTOs/ISOs & market 

monitors (Year 1 and Ongoing).

289 (TOs) 1 289 176 hrs; $16,192 .... 50,864 hrs; $4,679,488. 

1The hourly cost (for salary plus benefits) uses the figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for three positions involved in the reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements. These figures include salary (based on BLS data for May 2023, http://bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm) and benefits (based on BLS data issued 

March 19, 2022, http://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.nr0.htm) and are Manager (Code 11–0000 $106.33/hour), Electrical Engineer (Code 17–2071 $77.29/hour). 

The hourly cost for the reporting requirements ($91.81 = $92 rounded) is an average of the cost of a manager and engineer. 

Comments: Comments are invited on: 

(1) whether the 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 and cost of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility 

and clarity of the information collection; 

and (4) ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.
