Directory of Commission External 

Information Collection Requirements 

Office of the Executive Director 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

PREFACE 

This is the ninth edition of the Directory of Commission External Information 

Collections Requirements, an authoritative listing of public use (external) 

reporting and recordkeeping requirements currently used by the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC) to carry out its responsibilities. 

All of the Commission's information collection requirements contain a 

numerical designation to identify them and serve as a common reference point. 

Where there is a specified format, the identification will also contain the word 

"Form." These collections use a structured format, preprinted by the 

Commission on hard-copy forms and distributed to the public and the regulated 

entities. The information collection requirements that do not contain a specified 

format are used in a case-specific context for regulatory filing. They do not 

originate with the Commission, but the information and, where appropriate, the 

format must comply with the Commission's requirements as spelled out in the 

Code of Federal Regulations (18 CFR). 

 All of the Commission information collections used by the public are submitted 

to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for prior approval in 

accordance with the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (P.L. 

104-13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). OMB may not approve an information collection 

for a period of longer than 3 years and may approve it for a period of shorter 

duration. In order to renew the information collection, the Commission must 

resubmit the information collection to OMB. To assure that the public stays 

informed on the activities of the Commission's information collections, the 

Commission must publish two notices in the Federal Register in order to provide 

the public with the ability to comment at the earliest opportunity on the 

collection(s) of information. 

For each Commission information collection listed in this directory, a brief 

summary is provided that describes how it is used. Also shown are certain 

frequently requested items of information. These items include the filing uses of 

the information collection; the frequency of the collection; the public laws and 

where applicable, the regulations associated with the information collection; 

OMB control numbers; and the name of the Office collecting the data. 

Additional information about these collections is maintained by the Information 

Clearance Officer (ED-30), (202) 502-8415
