SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

information collection is under the 

requirements of FERC–523, 

‘‘Applications for Authorization for 

Issuance of Securities or the 

Assumption of Liabilities’’, OMB 

Control No. 1902–0043. 

Under Federal Power Act (FPA) 

section 204, 16 U.S.C. 824c, no public 

utility or licensee shall issue any 

security, or assume any obligation or 

liability as guarantor, endorser, surety, 

or otherwise in respect of any security 

of another person, until the public 

utility applies for and receives 

Commission approval by order 

authorizing the issue or assumption of 

the liability. The Commission issues an 

order if it finds that such issue or 

assumption (a) is for lawful object, 

within the corporate purposes of the 

applicant and compatible with the 

public interest, which is necessary or 

appropriate for or consistent with the 

proper performance by the applicant as 

a public utility and which will not 

impair its ability to perform that service, 

and (b) is reasonably necessary or 

appropriate for such purposes. 

The Commission uses the information 

contained in filings to determine its 

acceptance and/or rejection of 

applications for authorization to either 

issue securities or to assume an 

obligation or liability by the public 

utilities and their licensees who make 

these applications. 

The Commission implements this 

statute through its regulations, which 

are found at 18 CFR Part 34; and 18 CFR 

sections 131.43 and 131.50. Part 131 

prescribes the required filing format. 

The information is filed electronically. 

Action: The Commission is requesting 

a three-year extension of the current 

expiration date with no changes to the 

current reporting requirements. 

Burden Statement: Public reporting 

burden for this collection is estimated 

as: 

Number of responses annually 

Number of 

responses per 

respondent 

Average burden 

hours per 

response 

Total annual 

burden hours 

(1) (2) (3) (1) × (2) × (3) 

78 ..................................................................................................................................... 1.7 88 11,669 

The estimated total cost to 

respondents is $798,721 [11,669 hours/ 

2,080 hours 1 per year, times $142,372 2

equals $798,721]. The cost per 

respondent annually is $10,240. This is 

an increase from 60 to currently 78 

utilities filing annually. An increase 

from 1 to 1.7 filings per utility annually 

was also seen. The Commission 

considers this a normal fluctuation due 

to market activities and filing times 

chosen. Utilities files periodically, 

therefore the number of filings are 

expected to continue to fluctuate from 

year-to-year. 

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, 

using technology and systems for the 

purposes of collecting, validating, 

verifying, processing, maintaining,
